Specifically, a <br />gravel pit operation is conducting extensive activities within the river channel and flood plain <br />areas of the North Fork of the Gunnison River. These activities are located just upstream from <br />the town of Hotchkiss, in Delta County. The main mine facilities are located just south of the <br />river. <br />I did not do a detailed inspection, nor did I check the name of the operation, due to tight <br />scheduling constraints. The pit should be easily identified by checking office records. <br />Historically, this type of operation within a perennial river would not be allowed, or would be <br />restricted. The ac~ti`vi~t~ieys i~nthe/1c~ha~nnlel are extensive, and should prfoba/b'ly be chec~ke/)d. <br />I~O1"~0. \ Owr- lAN(%1ECP Q ~ ~ t~'lM_YR~,I+~ Iv`}} - io~i <br />DAB/bl`N ~ ~,-~ f-,~-bd"_ I I'2 Nl,u ~;~~)V-S~ 521.J ~~IZ <br />r~ ~ ~- ~ <br />1 <br />~~ ~ ~. ~y ~ <br />m:\oss\bjw\deb ~ <br />.. ~ =h-ICI __.._-._... -- - - - --- - ; <br />~N~ ~~ <br />~~ ~ <br />=1u-S- 4~ 1r10 <br />~ti\.DvF~ Gr~~',P~ <br />~r raw _ -~a~ p~ p p ti <br />~a Cou.nQ.~ <br />N~ ~rt1~~-~zw ~c l~z <br />~~l CO <br />--. -~~i~:.1z..~. ~srY~}- <br />---~-' --~~e-w4> <br />~__ . <br />~- -ra-~..-~ s t -. esG..j. <br />Ica._jt..a...,,a..4~-.-..a-Gt.~_.. <br />~~ t~~e~k~ <<~ <br />. 7 ~ .~- <br />t~-,1 ~ ~j <br />i~kf^'- <br />lie, ~~ <br />
