SUSAN STEERS P.O. BOX 1193 CANON CITY, CO 81215-1193 719/275-8167 March 18, 1998 Department of the Army Albuquerque DistriG, Corps of Engineers Attn: Mr. Van Truan 720 North Main Street, Suite 205 Pueblo, CO 81003-3046 REF: Action #1997 30215 Dear Mr. Truan; Enclosed please find your letter dated December 10, 1997 addressed to Mr. Mitchell E. Albert of Agile Stone Systems, Inc. wherein the Corps of Engineers validates the authorization of a nationwide permit for the above referenced applicant. Also enclosed is a copy of an excerpt of applicant's Mining Plan Map dated 12/11/97 showing a road across the Tallahassee and a copy of applicants Exhibit D, CMLRB 112 Permit Application, Amended Application, Page 12, pp1, stating that'Trafficwill use the pre-existing road across the stream'. I would like to call to your attention to the fact that last year my husband and I frequently walked on that land area (we had permission from the land owner to do so) and at that time there was no road across the Tallahassee. Did Agile Stone Systems include this road in their permit application to you and if so, why did you issue a permit for them to drive vehiGes across an area designated as wetlands? According to the permR submitted to the Colorado Mined Land ReGamation Board applicant is planning to drive heavy haul trucks across the Tallahassee Creek using this road. In addition I am troubled by the timing of this permit issued to applicant. The above named map was dated 12/11/97, one day a$e(the date on your letter. Am I correct in assuming that your pertnR was issued based on the original application submitted by applicant? If so, I would request that you review the Amended Application submitted by Agile Stone to the CMLRB for approval -the changes are substantial and they incude this road across the streambed. Thank you for considering my concerns. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely, - . .~_ ~~~•~ Susan Steers
