Said <br />premises is occupied by Thomas Watson and Ruth Abbott. This <br />property also abuts the Uncompahgre River. <br />For at least the last year and one half, Thomas Watson has <br />performed strip mining practices on the river-bottom land. <br />Apparently, he has been extracting rocks from the river, river bed, <br />and far side of the river. He then crushes the rock and sells the <br />gravel. Upon our investigation, no application for mining and/or <br />permits are on file for this property. <br />Presently, Mr. Watson has dug <br />ten feet south of my father' <br />doing so, he has dug into the <br />ponding. His mining operatio <br />during flood seasons. This <br />father, as the changed course <br />28 acres of his river-bottom <br />a holding pond and strip mined within <br />s south-eastern property line. In <br />sub-river ground water which is now <br />is may change the course of the river <br />is particularly of interest to my <br />of the river would overrun and flood <br />land. <br />
