Box 269 <br />Alamosa, CO 81101 <br />ATT: Bob Plaska <br />Dear Bob: <br />-~ <br />-: , _ ,~, ~ <br />t_: . <br /> <br />Asphalt Constructors, Inc. has a mining operation located <br />approximately one mile west of Ft. Garland, CO in the NE 1/4, Sec <br />20, T30S., R72W., known as the Smith Pit. Our records indicate <br />mining has occurred here since at least 1973. <br />We have held the mining permit since 1988, and I have been <br />involved with the pit since 1984 with the previous operator. <br />During the summer of 1993 we encountered minor water percolation <br />in the NE corner of the pit. The water was retained along the <br />north boundary and disappeared during early fall. At Wayne <br />Williams request, I visited your office and we discussed possible <br />causes and solutions. No actions were taken because of the lack <br />of history of the problem. <br />During July, 1994, water began seeping again into the northeast <br />corner of the pit. The water comes in on the east slope <br />approximately 2' above the floor elevation in this corner. The <br />pit floor has a gentle slope to the west and the water flows to <br />the west where it becomes retained by the west face of the pit. <br />Be aware that no water comes up through the pit floor, only out <br />of the east slope of the pit. <br />Equal Opportunity Employer <br />
