Gallegos <br />2225 West 2nd Avenue <br />Durango, Colorado 81301 <br />RE: Drainage & Flooding Problems on your Property <br />Dear Mr. Gallegos: <br />This letter is in response to your 3/19/94 corre pondence <br />requesting some assistance from our office in evaluating a y effect <br />that mining operations located up drainage from your pro arty may <br />have had in causing or contributing to the drainage and flooding <br />problems evident on your property as a result of heavy rainfall <br />events that occurred in late August of 1993. <br />I inspected the J & J Pit operated by Durango Gravel (formerly <br />Glacier Gravel Products), permit No. M-85-001, on March 23 1994 in <br />the company of Jim Aelmericks who operates the pit a d has a <br />residence located south of the mining operation. I also ~nspected <br />the portion of the drainage area in question that is ear the <br />Carbon Junction Coal Mine operated by Oak Ridge Energy (formerly <br />Pueblo Coal Co.), permit no. C-82-054, on March 24, 1994. Although <br />the Carbon Junction mine has been in temporary cessation (inactive) <br />for several years, Mr. Jim Hendricks who is a company <br />representative has a residence located near the mine and sintains <br />the drainage control system and access roads on a regular basis. <br />During the inspection I was able to walk the entire drainage in <br />question from a point on your property up past the J & J Pit and <br />onto Ewing Mesa north of where the Carbon Junction Mine is located. <br />I also inspected the affected area of the J & J Pit and observed <br />how runoff from storm events is routed from the disturbed area and <br />eventually back into the natural drainage via the drainage control <br />system employed by the mining operation. Based on my observations, <br />it does not appear that either operation has in any significant way <br />caused or contributed to the drainage and flooding probl ms that <br />occurred on your property. The reasons for this are as f llows: <br />1) It became readily apparent from walking the drainage that the <br />probable source of the cobble material clogging the p rtion of <br />the drainage channel situated between your property and the <br />parcel on which Century Equipment is located is prima ily the <br />bottom and side embankments of the upgradient portio of the <br />natural drainage channel itself. fixcessive scourin~ of the <br />channel bottom, measuring 3 or more vertical feet ~'com the <br />pre-storm bottom elevation to the present channel bottom in <br />1 <br />
