UNITED COMPANIES <br />Spring Creek Pit <br />M-1994-097 <br />AM-002 <br />New Access Road <br />November 4, 2002 <br />RECE~ VED <br />NOV 0 7 ZOp~ <br />~iuision of Minerals and GeoloBY <br />United Companies is applying to amend this Mining and Reclamation Permit to add a <br />new road for access to the operating area of this gravel pit near Montrose, Colorado. <br />The access road that was originally proposed and approved with this permit exited from <br />the site to the west where it joined 6100 Road. The original access road and 6100 Road <br />are both gravel surfaced roads. 6100 Road was used by all vehicles travelling between the <br />original Spring Creek Pit access road and La Salle Road (paved). Numerous complaints <br />were generated by the amount of traffic travelling on 6100 Road. <br />In response, United Companies proposed to Montrose County officials to construct a new <br />paved access road that would eliminate all Spring Creek Pit traffic on 6100 Road. This <br />plan was accepted by the County Commissioners (Special Use permit SU-99-1154). As a <br />result 18 houses on 6100 Road and on La Salle Road west of the new access road have <br />much less traffic as a result of the new access road. This has improved safety for the <br />homeowners and reduced the nuisance impacts of the Spring Creek Pit traffic on them, as <br />well. <br />Information concerning this proposed Amendment will be presented in a format that <br />follows the outline of Exhibit Requirements as presented in Rule 6.4 of the Construction <br />Materials Rules and Regulations. <br />Exhibit A -Legal Description <br />A parcel of land located in Ell2, SW 1l4, Section 13, T49N, RIOW, NMPM, Montrose <br />County, Colorado. <br />This parcel is also designated as Montrose County parcel number 3765-133-00-002. <br />Exhibit B -Index Map <br />An Index Map of the area is attached. <br />Exhibit C -Pre-Mining and Mining Plan Map of Affected Lands <br />A plan map showing the new access road at the Spring Creek Pit is attached. <br />Exhibit D Mining Plan <br />The proposed amendment is for the purpose of adding a new paved access road to this <br />permit area.
