(BMRI) -San Luis <br />DMG Permit No. M-88-112 <br />Dear Mr. Dillie: <br />64TIlE MOIINWN <br />GOLD COA~ANV <br />As I had mentioned to you many months ago, the Costilla Soil Conservation District has requested that <br />BMRI get involved with controlling several drainages to the Rito Seco, on and off Battla Mountain <br />property. These drainages have been in place prior to BMRI's arrival. Many of the problems stem from <br />the extensive road system throughout the Forbes-Trinchera property. Bill Gran of the Shalom Ranch <br />and Battle Mountain have been working together with the Costilla Soil Conservation D strict (CSCD) to <br />try and control these drainages. One Y-shaped drainage is located on BMRI property, a few on Shalom <br />Ranch property, and one on another owner's property. <br />BMRI is looking at the possibility of volunteering equipment and operators to help in controlling these <br />drainages. The CSCD is working on getting a grant to pay for most of the work and equipment. The <br />work is scheduled to be conducted in phases. Phase 1 consists of work on drainages on BMRI Property <br />and consists of seven earthen dams with culverts to slow down passing water (Jursidic;tional or Erosion <br />Control Dams). These dams range in height from 10 to 15 feet depending on the drainage area <br />I have enclosed the specifications and application required for these earthen dams as determined by the <br />Division of Water Resources and the CSCD. Also enclosed are five copies of aerial ptlotos depicting the <br />drainages, phases, and locations of the earthen dams. BMRI is requesting permissior from the Division <br />of Minerals and Geology to complete these earthen dams, as specified in Phase 1. If (here is more <br />information necessary for the approval process on this matter, please call. <br />Sincerely, <br />Sally .Kaiser <br />Environmental Engineer <br />Enclosures <br />cc: Anne Baldrige <br />Dan Robertson <br />P.O.
