Re: PikeviewQuarry,AmendmentApproval,PermitNo.M-1977-211,RevisionNo.AhI-2
Dear Mr. Paradav:
On March 15, 2001 the Division of Minerals and Geology approved the Amendment applicationsubmttted to the
Division on September28, 2000, addressing the following:
The amendment reduces the overall slope of the Lay back area to 1. Sh: l v; adds 26 acres of Federal Land
to the permit area, and 14. lofthose acres are affected land
The terms of AmendmentNo. 2 with the following two (2) conditions are approved by the Division and are hereby
incorporated into Permit No, Iv1-1977-211. All other conditions and requirements of Permit No. lvt-1977-211
remain in full force and effect.
Conditions of Permit Approval
- - --- Condition No. 1
No portion of the quarry highwall will be constructed (mined) to slope angles steeper than the
granite eastjoint dip without prior approval by the Division. Castle Concrete will report to the
Division, as soon as the granite is exposed, the east joint dip and the bench highwall slope angle
for each cliff (bench highwall) at approximately the north and central ridee locations. Castle
Concrete will report the dip and slope angle at these two locations for each new bench highwall
until the final granite portion of the highwall configuration is completed. The report will be
prepazed and signed by a registered geotechnical engineer or other qualified zngineer, and
include an analysis of the stability of that cliff (bench highwall) as it relates to the overall
stability of the amendment area quarry highwall. If such an analysis reveals potential highwall
stability problems, Castle Concretz will propose a modification to the mining plan to eliminate
the instability problem.
Condition No. 1
Castle Concrete Company will not disturb National Forest Land proposed to be affected under
Amendment No.3 until the US Forest Service provides in writing the source of Castle Concrete's lesal
right to enter the land to conduct mining operations and that document is reviewed and approved by the
Division. Furthermore, Castle Concrete Company will not affect its own land in a manner proposed
