Shelton Director September 8, 1981 Mr. Buck Barnhart 3 Sedum Court Pueblo, Colorado 81001 RE: VALCO/Lamar Concrete Division - "Lamar West Pit" Our file no. 81-132 Dear Mr. Barnhart: I have finished my adequacy review of the mining and reclamation permit application for the above captioned operation.

The area shown should equal the 67.42 acres asked for in the appli- cation. 2) Although the area is said to be basically flat, more precise information X concerning drainage on the site is needed. This is due to. the fact the pit area is surrounded on three sides by water courses (a river and two canals}, \ 9 3) Although it is evident from the map that the operator intends to avoid the /X\ gas and power lines on the affected land during mining, how much distance is
