<br />30 <br />' <br /> Recommendations <br />' 1. Exercise the customary safety precautions and rules in carrying <br /> out the operation. <br /> 2. When the final exterior boundaries of the quarry are readied, <br />' erect a safety fence around it, especially along the borders <br /> of the Denver Mountain Park lands. <br />' Ultimate Use of Quarry Site <br /> How to rehabilitate the quarry site will depend in part on the ultimate <br />' use. The ultimate use, 40 or 50 years in the future is impossible to <br /> foresee. We do need to explore the potentials, however. <br /> In our 1972 report we explored five potential end uses, As some of those <br />' potential uses may still be viable, the discussion from the 1972 report is <br /> included in this one as Appendix IV, <br />' Company plans in 1472 were to quarry no deeper than the present ground <br /> level. The 1972 review of potential uses was based on such plans. The <br /> Company now considers it may want to quarry as much as 240 feet below the <br />' present ground level, leaving a hole of about 15.6 acres in area extending <br /> below ground level. That excavation would accumulate water and could be <br /> filled to form a lake. We, therefore, see three alternatives that must <br /> be considered: (1) Final quarry will end at, or above the present operating <br />' level, (2) The final quarry will end 240 feet below operating level and <br /> will be dry. (3) The final quarry will end 240 feet below operating level <br /> and the pit will be filled with water. <br />' ' <br /> Each potential use will be examined for all three alternatives. <br />fhe <br /> first five potential uses listed below are the uses considered in 1972. <br /> The remainder are new. <br />1 <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br /> <br />1 <br />i <br />
