Dear Mr. Kriz:
On January 17, 1978, I discussed the matter concerning your assumption
of the White River Aggregates operation conducted under the Department of
Highways t,DOH) option with the landowner. There appears to be two vital
points controlling what may be done.
First, if any material is removed from the DOH portion of the operatioh
for use in work you may be performing which is not a highway project you
should have full permission from the DOH. Their pits are set up for their
projects and usually are not utilized by the contractor or other persons
for materials needed in other construction without either full permission
from the DOH, or a succession of operator.
Second, if you desire to asstune this operation but operate your private
operation under the DOH permit you must understand that any violations which
might occur will cause the DOH to be the responsible party, a situation
they may well not desire to involve themselves. Violations on their
operations can have very serious consequences to the DOH due to the fact
that until the violation is rectified they cannot receive permits on any
new operations. They must use all precautions to prevent such a situation.
My advice to you is if you desire to assume operations tinder the D(ki permit
then a specifically identified area be set aside strictly for a highway
materials source to which their pereoit applies. Areas for your private
operations should be conducted under a separate permit held by the private
company. I realize this means alot of work, but if the serious legal
problems are to be avoided it appears to us the operational areas must be
kept separate.
In summary, if you are assuming the White River Aggregates operation under
the DOH permit for primarily private operations (Mountain Mobil Mix or
some other name) we will not recommetrd approval without either a clear
seperatiort of DOH arena frog yoaxs and separate permitting, or a statement
fro® the DOH that they will be allowing you to conduct private operations
under their permit and that they will be responsible for insuring the
