The letter stated <br />four areas that needed to be corrected. Following aze the areas to be corrected and ow course of <br />action: <br />1. Piles ojearthet: material have been imported to the permit area and dumped on site. <br />Attached is an Affidavit stating that the material is inert and will be only be used for backfill. <br />2. Thistle ir:jestation occur on the site, especially on the topsoil stick piles located in the west <br />side ojthe site. The county weed technician will help me assess the pit fot weeds. Early this <br />next yeaz, 2000, we will have a separate contract for just spraying weeds in our gravel pits. It <br />will be a sepazate budget line item. In the past, weed spraying for road sides and gravel pits was <br />under one contract. This new contract should ensure that all our pits are sprayed twice a year, <br />spring and fall. This will stop the seeds from spreading and control the weeds. We will <br />document our efforts; ie. dates when sprayed, type of weeds, and course of action to bE: taken <br />after seeing the results of the spraying. We will notify you of our efforts. <br />3. Some erosion and seditnentation occurring on the outside ojthe eastern perimeter :stockpile. <br />We have placed straw bails for a temporary solution to the erosion on the eastern perimeter. This <br />next month our forces will be removing the inert material from the topsoil pile (as stated in <br />affidavit, by 12131199). At that time we will install more adequate erosion controls. Enclosed <br />are pictures of the temporary solution. We send documentation of the more petmeant ;volution by <br />12131199. <br />_~ <br />1060 E. 2ND AvE. DURANGO, CO 81301 <br />
