D. <br />Dept. of Natural Resources <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />Re: Menzer Quarry <br />Inspection Report <br />Dear Harry: <br />~l' <br />~~CEllil~~.~ <br />~iAY 0 5 1991 <br />Mined i.and <br />Reclamation ,p;,,;~;,~n <br />This letter is sent in response to your Reclamation Inspection of Menzer Quarry <br />on 1-29-92, and your follow-up report. Let me address each Problem/PCSSible <br />Violation as you indicated on page 3 of 4 and 4 of 4 in your report. <br />1. Annual Report map appears to show incorrect permit boundary. We checked <br />with your corporate headquarters, and you are correct. We submitted Cooley's <br />Annual Report map without carefully reviewing it for correctness. <br />2. Several new equipment items and concrete walled conveyor aze not in the <br />mining plan. The mining equipment that we are using coincides with the <br />approach that was originally submitted in 1976. We have not introduced <br />more equipment, but replaced original equipment with similar kind and grade. <br />This equipment, including conveyors, is only temporary in nature, and it <br />will be removed upon completion of all mining. Right now we are moving <br />our conveyor system closer to the face of our mining operation to cut down <br />on the amount of loader work. Below is an itemization of costs associated <br />with the removal of the walled conveyor housing. <br />a. Walled conveyor housing costs: <br />mobile crane @ S90/hr...6 hr. S 540.00 <br />trenching @ $75.00/hr...8 hr. 600.00 <br />966 loader @ S65/hr...4 hr. 260.00 <br />labor @ $24/hr...160 hr. 3,200.00 <br />$4,600.00 <br />3. Part of the crusher fines are being transported offsite. We are f~~llowing <br />the same mining plan as was originally submitted in 1976. This pl.3n indicated <br />15.6 acres of quarry floors and 9.66 acres of benches. With placement <br />of 1'0" of crusher fines to act as a growth medium for new vegetation, <br />we estimate that 1,613.3 cy per acre, or 40,753 cy total, will be ~zecessary <br />to provide coverage. We shall designate a 50,000 cy Stockpile res~arved <br />2635 Delta Drive • Colorado Springs, CO 80910 • (719) 392-4207 <br />AN EOUAI OPPO41U NIfY EMPLOYER <br />
