During the course of our tour, we viewed several piles of <br /> boulders in mixed sizes of 6" to 30" . <br /> These two properties have gravel deposits that are blessed with <br /> large numbers of such boulders. We have been using many of these <br /> boulders to construct erosion control features on both properties. <br /> Boulders have also been sold from these properties for many uses in <br /> the metro area. <br /> The boulders from these properties are particularly attractive in <br /> both shape and color. We have endeavored to save as many of them <br /> as possible. Our intention in saving them is to use them on the <br /> properties during reclamation, and for the construction of <br /> landscaping and drainage features once the mining reclamation is <br /> complete. <br /> Until the mining is complete, we won't have a clear idea of the <br /> number of piles to be left, but I don't expect that there will be <br /> more than fifteen piles over the entire 250 acre mining area. The <br /> current piles are fairly small as we have felt it is better to have <br /> somewhat more piles, both for proximity to future possible uses, <br /> and for a lower profile until the boulders are used. <br /> We would like, as the landowner of both properties, and the <br /> operator of the Turnpike Pit, to have these piles become part of <br /> the approved reclamation plans for both properties. <br /> Very truly yours, <br />
