DENVER WATER <br />1600 Well 12th Avenue • Denver, Colorado 802043412 <br />Phone 303-628-6460 • Fax No. 303-6286478 <br />January 30, 2007 <br />Mr. Anthony Waldron <br />Division of Reclamation <br />Mining and Safety <br />1313 Sherman Street, Rm 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />RE: Reclamation Pit No. 1, Permit No. M-1977-153 <br />Dear Mr. Waldron: <br />rr- ,,~ - <br />bV,t'4~~"3~ <br />JAN 3 12007 <br />Division of Recl~:mation, <br />Ahining and Safe~y <br />This letter is provided in accordance with the January 2, 2007 invoice for the annual fee <br />and request for an annual report for the gravel mining permit M-1977-153. <br />Reclamation Pit No. 1, also known as the Hazeltine Pit, is owned by Denver Water and <br />South Adams County Water and Sanitation District (South Adams). A photo showing the <br />location of the pit and the included areas is enclosed. <br />The permit was amended in 2004 to include parcels A, B, and C and the former <br />Henderson Industrial Pit. The main portion of the pit lies between the Howe-Haller Pit <br />and the Road Runner's Rest II Pit in Adams County, Colorado. At the time of the <br />Amendment a slurry wall was under construction. The slurry wall was completed as <br />indicated on the enclosed aerial photo. <br />Denver Water and South Adams acquired the property for use as a water storage facility. <br />The embankment between the Road Runner's Rest II Pit and the Hazeltine Pit has been <br />partially removed in order to maximize the reservoir capacity of the two properties, and <br />because of the existence of the 120`h Avenue embankment. <br />In 2006 parcels A and B were partially mined by LaFarge. The remaining material is <br />planned to be utilized for construction of the finished slopes. In December of 2006 <br />Denver Water authorized a contract lvith Warren Cruise and Associates to sort and <br />remove materials remaining in the Hazeltine and Road Runner's Rest II pits. That work <br />could take as long as two (2) years to be accomplished. <br />Denver Water and South Adams intend to investigate the feasibility of merging the Road <br />Runner's Rest II and the Hazeltine properties into a single permit. <br />CONSERVE <br />Patricia L. Wells, General Counsel, Legal Division <br />
