• iii ~ii~iiiiiiiu iii • Carl 999 From: steven carty [stmica®yahoo.com] Sent: Thursday, March 15, 2001 7:53 AM To: carl.mountC~ state.co.us Subject: Masonville Quarries Dear Mr. Mount, I am still trying to understand how the Arkins Park North quarry (M1985213 110c) could be active with a terminated permit. Is it possible that it as been combined with the Carter Lake Enterprises permit (M1985099 110c)? The two quarries are adjacent. Carter Lake had a 7.75 acre permit in 1994, but the State's online database shows it at 17 acres (can a 110c be that big?). Has it been amended since 1994? The County allowed about 3 of the 7.75 acres for Carter Lake Enterprises in 1994. If it is any help, a Larimer County Planning Staff report dated July 5, 1988, stated "(Arkins Park North) is highly visible because it is immediately adjacent to the County Road. Much of the rubble has been pushed toward the road and even within the road right-of-way. The equipment, waste material, pallets, and discarded items further detract from the appearance of the area. This portion of the quarry is supposed to be completed by October 25, 1988, and reclamation to be completed by March 1989." I am unclear where the dates came from, but the situation is worse today, 12 years after reclamation was to be completed, than it was in 1988. That brings up another question -State permits require county approval, and county approval requires a state permit. If the State has granted 7.75 acres, and the County allows only 3 of those acres, does the State consider it a violation to be outside the 3 acres? The following amendment is a bit of a long shot, but might this say something about APNorth? I found a reference to a letter from the State Division of Minerals & Geology (Carl Mount), dated 2/3/94, to Larimer Planning - "Notice of 112 Regular Reclamation Permit, Amendment Application Consideration - amendment application to the Arkins Park Quarries, Permit No. M-85-212, at or near Sec 35, Township 6N, Range 70W..." Although the Arkins Park Quarries (section 35) are quite a ways south of Arkins Park North (section 22), the County file that this letter was in did include Arkins Park North (but only to mention the reclamation that had allegedly occured along the road). I could not find copies of this application amendment at the Larimer County Clerk & Recorder's office. Like I said, a long shot. Thanks for your time, Steven Carty
