• August 5, 1987 Page Two The only facility on Crystal River's lands which we want to have removed is the dirt bean, and that only for the distance horn the intersection with the paved road running by the main ranch Rouse to the paint that there is an existing break in the bean for vehicle access purposes near the calving sheds. The balance of the berm material to be removed which is not used as described in the preceeding paragraph may be loaded, hauled and placed in the feedlot north and west of the haul road. This will improve the feed lot's utility by making its surface gently sloping and uniform. Snowmass should take care to cover the paved haul road with dirt at the point of crossing, so as to absorb the impact of the trucks crossing the road to obtain access to the feedlot. We suggest a common point of crossing so as to rninnnize any damage to the road. Then Snowmass need only replace any fences it must remove to facilitate the berm removal project, remove the dirt placed to cushion the paved road and seed the excavated area with appropriate grasses. The Crystal River Ranch Company will construct any other {ences it deems necessary. As consideration for leaving the remainder of the dirt berm Snowmass will pay Crystal River $1,500 and give Crystal River all of the fencing materials, manhole covers, concrete pipe, corrugated steel pipe, irrigation valves and other items appertaining to the sprinkling system at the Diamond A Ranch for Crystal River's use in establishing a sprinkler along the top of the remaining dirt berm in order to make it more appealing. We understand that your permit may not explicitly allow final reclamation as • described -above. Our desires were expressed when the original permit was reviewed, but the issue apparently was not pursued because Snowmass's operations were expected to continue for many years. We would be pleased to assist you in any reasonable way to obtain [he necessary permit revisions and to provide any further inforrr~atron the [3oard or its staff may require. We also recognize that Snowmass will need ongoing access and surface rights to the areas subject to its reclamation obligations in order to obtain bond release. We are willing to grant Snowmass such rights and to execute a mutually acceptable agreement defining the obligations of the parties. We will be pleased to meet with you and the Division to discuss any of these issues. Yours truly, Douglas .Poison Vice Pr'sident dlp/rnve cc: Prank Erisrnan, Esq. • 4-46b (flew ~-14-87)
