Joe Keating <br />Gentlemen: <br />As required by your current ragulations, :•~e herewith submit <br />our application to engage in open pit mining of sand and <br />gravel. 'ihe location of this proposed gravel pit is as <br />noted on the attached map which was prepared by Air Photo <br />Surveys, Tnc. of Grand Junction, Colorado. <br />(ARdY W. CORN, V;co hc:~6ora <br />Jl;l7 '~ <br />4~ ~~~. <br />il- <br />The owners of the surface of the area of land to he affected <br />are Edward T. and Alta T. Leighton, c% John Schmahl. ide <br />have an Agreement from the owner which grants us permission <br />to oxtract and process the sand and gravel located within the <br />designated pit area. <br />Diu•ing the past 10 to 15 years numerous gravel pits have <br />been indeterminately excavated throughout the proposed pit <br />area. OverbuzYlen, trash, brush etc. has been indiscriminately <br />piled within the perimeter of the proposed pit. These <br />previous operations have killed the vegetation and weeds now <br />cover most of the affected surface area. <br />.During our investigation o£ the area we Prave found that the <br />gravel has not been totally removed from the old pits. Only <br />that material which lies a~ or above the water table has been <br />excavated. We have determined that approximately 8 to 10 <br />feet of gravel is available. <br />We propose to excavate a sump area around the pit and dewater <br />the sand and gravel deposit. At that time the material can <br />be removed and processed for use, <br />
