BOX 456 <br />MONTROSE, COLORADO 81401 <br />OFFICE: 249-6622 HOME 249-3823 <br />December 9, 1983 <br />TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: <br />On December 8, 1983 State Water Commissioner Richard Drexel and myself in- <br />spected a gravel excavation area known as Benton Dawson Gravel Pit located <br />on six acres in Section 15 of the SW's SEA, Township 15 South, Range 96 <br />West, 6th P.M. <br />Mr. Ray Hawkins of 949 Meeker Street, Delta, Colorado has an interest in <br />mining from this gravel pit location. <br />J A DAHIELSON <br />Slele Eny~neer <br />The purpose of this inspection was to determine if the excavation of gravel <br />from this location would disturb any springs, ditches, water rights, or <br />water distribution systems. From our inspection it was determined that ex- <br />cavation at this particular location would have no impact of this sort, and <br />this office has no objection to this gravel mining. <br />It is our understanding that there will be no water used in the excavation <br />or processing of this gravel pit. It should be further noted that the grav- <br />el deposit is directly adjacent to the Don Quixote Ditch and within several <br />hundred yards of Cummings Gulch. However, the mining activities should in <br />no way disturb the ditch or the natural drainage nearby. <br />Thoma A.
