ENGINEERING 8 SURVEYING COMPANY <br />455 PALMER ST. • DELTA, COLORADO 81416 • 970-874-7593 FAX 970-874-7570 <br />November 17, 2006 <br />Mike Ripp <br />MVR Resources, Inc. <br />3990 Old Wagon Wheel Rd <br />Delta, Colorado 81416 <br />Re: H/S Properties Gravel Pitt <br />Dear Mr. Ripp, <br />Ute Engineering & Surveying Co. has reviewed the affect proposed gravel mining will <br />have on the Union Pacific Railroad Right of Way and tracks adjacent to the proposed H/S <br />Properties gravel pit. The specific mining site is approximately five acres and located <br />north of Banner Road, just west of Highway 50 in the County of Montrose. A 100 foot <br />Union Pacific Railroad Right of Way borders the property on the west side. This Right of <br />Way contains an irrigation ditch approximately six feet wide (see boundary survey). HIS <br />Properties is proposing to excavate from the top of the bluff to a depth of fifteen using a 3: <br />descending slope. <br />I believe that mining activities on this property can be done safely and will have no <br />negative impact on the Union Pacific Railroad structures, as long as the following items are <br />implemented: <br />• Install and maintain a silt fence near the top of the bluff where construction activity <br />is occurring. The intent of this silt fence is to minimize effects from runoff storm <br />water and small rocks. <br />• Lower the edge of the bluff with a backhoe, pulling the material towazds the project <br />and away from the Rail Road Right of Way. This will ensure material will not be <br />pushed over the edge of the bluff. <br />Please contact me with any questions or concerns, <br />~~,~,,;L a ,r,~u~ r~ <br />Jessica A.
