Before considering the proper course of action regarding how that project and the Pueblo <br />West Pit can work together you requested some additional details on the project Following is a complete review of <br />the project and the permit for the gravel pit and how they influence each other. In addition axe some suggested <br />courses of action to allow the project to proceed within portions of the permitted area. Besides my discussion of this <br />matter, I have included a number of photographs, a project description provided by Mr. Hobson, and portions of <br />the Corps of F_'ngineers plans. <br />As bids have been requested and contracts will soon be completed, action on this matter is requested to be taken as <br />soon as possible so whatever other preparations are needed can be completed before the work actually begins. The <br />fisheries habitat rehabilitation is only one piece of a much larger vision for the Arkansas River coxxidox in Pueblo. It <br />is importanx to recognize that although the permit area for the Pueblo West Pit is a significant piece of the larger <br />plan, the plan includes a much larger area than just the river coxxidox that passes through the pemut area. As the <br />maps show, the project includes essentially the entire corridor from Pueblo Dam to the mouth of Fountain Creek on <br />the cast side of Pueblo. <br />IE you have any questions regarding the materials, please do not hesitate to call. It is suggested that after you have <br />reviewed the materials a meeting be set between the Division and some of the parties involved to discuss the best <br />course of action to keep things moving smoothly. Thank you fox your consideration. <br />Permit #: l~'l' l 9,~1 ^.513 Confidental?: ~~ Sincerely, <br />Class: Type-Seq.: ~~,rG~~ ~~ <br />From: © To: ~'n'f[~Z, % ~1'!/C/lj/ o <br />Doc.
