Banta. <br />Division Director <br />Ms. Lana Jo Chapin <br />11165 County Road 250 <br />Durango, Colorado 81301 <br />RE: Letter of June 7, 1991, Animas Aggregates, Inc., <br />The Thomas Pit, Permit No. M-76-020 <br />Dear Ms. Chapin: <br />Earlier this week, we received Your letter regarding this operation, and <br />wanted to thank you for keeping us informed. We would like to take this <br />opportunity to provide .you with the latest information concerning our <br />efforts to bring this operation into compliance with our law. <br />As you may be aware, MLRD Reclamation Specialist John Doerfer wds previously <br />responsible for the inspections and any possible enforcement actions necessary <br />for this site. Mr. Doerfer is no longer with our Division and, although he <br />had previously inspected this site, was not able to complete his inspection <br />report prior to leaving our offices. Because this inspection report is the <br />legal basis for starting a record of an operator's compliance problems, we <br />will have to reinspect the site and develop this report. <br />It is our intent to revisit the site sometime within the first two weeks in <br />July of 1991. By then we will have hired a new surface water hydrologist to <br />assume the regulatory oversite responsibilities of this operation. When we <br />reinspect this site, we will pay particular attention to both your previous <br />concerns and the new ones raised in your recent letter. We hope to then take <br />these matters to our Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board in August of 1991. <br />Once again, thank you for your continued participation. Please call me if we <br />can he of further service. <br />Sincerely, <br />~LL~~ Gl R.~l'L+~.;~~~c <br />Daniel I.
