Box 312 & Geo/o9Y <br />Cortez, CO 81321 <br />Dear Mrs. Bell: <br />We are in receipt of your letter of July 19, 1998 regarding the <br />activities at the Stone Gravel Pit. According to our <br />understanding of *_he the approved permit with the Colorado State <br />Mined Land Reclamation Board, Mr. Stone is proceeding with <br />delineating the working areas of the pit and limiting vehicle <br />access to it. BLM road number 4520 is the designated public <br />vehicular access for this area and remains open for access to <br />public land. The road to the south (which is now gated) provides <br />alternate access to adjacent land owners, who are still free to <br />use this route when necessary. The gate and fence provides some <br />level of public safety and equipment security for the gravel <br />mining operations. Be assured that the gate in no way limits <br />our, or Montezuma County's, fire attack capabilities. We expect <br />that Mr. Stone will use material from the gravel pit to build up <br />his access road to County Road 21. <br />While we appreciate your contact regarding this information, we <br />were aware of activities at the gravel pit, since Mr. Stone <br />notified BLM of starting operations and BLM has visited the site. <br />We understand you have a copy of the approved MLRB Reclamation <br />Permit, and encourage you to read it closely. If you continue .c <br />monitor operations, we recommend you maintain a safe a distance. <br />Please feel free to contact the state DMG or us if you feel <br />violations of the permit are occurring. <br />Sincerely, <br />Ke" nt off <br />Associate Area Manager <br />cc: D en Stone <br />ally Erickson, DMG <br />RECEIVED <br />JYL 2 ! ~ <br />DIV.
