Mined Land Rclamation 15 December 1978 Page - 2- for many, many years, long before any one thought of the necessity of policing them, and even now the operation needs no inspections becaue;e as ex' plained to you in my letter, the hill be flat when and if ever, the gravel operation ceases. Where does the operation begin and where does it end. An easy way to explain this is to state that since this is an old operation, the area being mined is comparatively flat, so, you start in the middle of this truncated hill, and work around the hill so that it is almost flat at all times. It is like a little boy eating away at an ice cream cone. As above mentioned, photo maps of the Jolly area were sent to you by me, and they were secured from Soil Conservation Service. Any person who has ever seen a photo map can clearly see the roads on the map. I clearly showed where the operation was be- ing conducted. You asked for strip maps. When the application was filed, I sent in maps in triplicate. You asked for the same information again. And, I sent new strip map to you. All showed adjoining neighbors and ap- proximate linear distances. The Jolly pit sits into very large acreage, far from any neigbor, and very far from any settled community or homes in the area. Boundaries. The strip map, it being a sketch of the land involved, not s urveyed plat, shows boundary lines. All lands are fenced with a legal barbed wire fence. At the time of the hearing, we shall have photos of ALL properties that have been, and will be mined. I have almost concluded that much of my corres- pondence or the enclosures, have been placed in file thirteen. WE cannot understand why you have asked for the same information twice; and, further, why you keep asking for data and compliance with the demands which have already been met. Correspondence such as is received from your office can destroy a man's peace of mind. It is nothing more than bur- eaucratic harassment. As for the Sand Arroyo application. First, there is enclosed a carbon copy of the af- fidavit that was mailed to your office before. It is signed by Frank Maldonado who owns the land where the pit is located.
