These complaints stem from a channe:L change <br />of the Animas River. According to these complaints, this channel change is <br />causing erosion and possibilities of flooding of private land. I have been to <br />this location with the Regional Planner and, at first inspection, believe that <br />all these charges could be true; however, without substantiated data, erosion <br />is quite difficult to measure. <br />The zoning in this particular area is agricultural. Our zoning regulations <br />state that gravel operations are authorized in this area because of use by right. <br />Our past policy in this County has been not to issue permits for gravel <br />operations, however, I understand that the State now requires such a permit <br />complete with reclamation plans. Does this company possess such a permit and <br />have they filed a reclamation plan? If they have, I would appreciate a copy of <br />these documents. From the sight inspection it is quite obvious that no reclama- <br />tion process has been initiated. After reviewing these documents, I feel we <br />could decide on a course of action. <br />I have listed below the name and legal description of this gravel operation: <br />Animas Aggregates - approximately 12 miles north of Durango on State <br />Highway 550 <br />SW 1/4 SE 1/4 N'd 1/4 PIE 1/4 and part of SW 1/4 *IE 1/4 36-37-9 <br />Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter. <br />~e <br />Paul Canatsey <br />La Plata Coun y Engineer <br />PC: zs <br /> <br /> <br />
