Pit 1 is <br />located about three-quarters of a mile northeast of the city of <br />Delta just off Highway 92 and near the Gunnison River. In March <br />1977 the Mined Land Reclamation Board approved permit number 77-20 <br />and set the bond at $800. <br />In the spring of 1980 it became apparent that construction <br />activity in the Delta area was increasing. The call for larger <br />amounts of specification aggregate was steadily increasing. This <br />application for conversion and expansion from a 110 to a 112 <br />permit is a result of this activity increase. <br />In the center of the 9.70+ acres was a 2.81+ acre pond, a <br />result of a previous mining operation conducted by Coors. Of the <br />2.81+ acres, 1.31+ acres were mined out but 1.5+ acres still con- <br />tained some amounts of aggregate. The 1.31+ acres is not part of <br />the 9.7+ acres included in Pit 1; however, the remaining 1.50+ <br />acres was included in the 9.7+ acres of affected land. It now <br />appears that only the top 10 feet of aggregate was mined by Coors. <br />Accordingly, these lands are now included in the current applica- <br />tion. The new Stage I becomes 11.30+ acres while Stage II is <br />added at 8.46+ acres. <br />5 <br />1 <br />
