Division Direcbr <br />Del Norte, CO 81132 <br />RE: RESOLUTION OF CORRECTIVE ACTIONS -Rio Grande County Gravel Pits <br />Dear Ms. Benton: <br />As promised, the following is a list of all the Rio Grande Gravel pits, which were cited for various <br />problems during the July 11, 1995 inspection trip, and the current status of the problems. <br />1) SEVEN MILE PLAZA PTT (M-78-065) , <br />a) All the problems have been resolved. <br />b) T'he Division's data processing system has been corrected to reflect the 8.34-acre <br />permit area. <br />2) 10-MII.E SOUTH PTT (T'1-78-066) <br />a) All the problems have been resolved. <br />b) T'he permit size is 8 acres. <br />3) <br />4) <br />MAXEYVII.LE PIT (M-78-068) <br />a) TiLis operation is being convened to a 112 Regular Permit. <br />SANDERSON PTT (M-78-069) <br />a) All but two of the problems have been resolved. <br />b) Under the existing permit, Rio Grande County is not allowed to have a water <br />impoundment within the permit area. There are two possible solutions. One, the <br />pit can be bacidilled to eliminate the pond or two, Rio Grande County can amend <br />the reclamation plan to include a pond, since the post-mining use is wildlife habitat. <br />But, if groundwater is going to be left exposed, all the water rights issues have to <br />be resolved. <br />
