Box 891 <br />Canon City, Colorado 81212 <br />Re: MacKenzie Pit <br />Our File No. 80-224 <br />Dear Mr. Lee: <br />iii iiiiiiiiuiiiiii <br />Our Division has received the 550.00 annual fee for the above-captioned oper- <br />ation. Therefore, enclosed please find the receipt for your check, I have also <br />received and reviewed the annual report for this operation. In general, I <br />find the report to be satisfactory under terms of the Mined Land Reclamation Act. <br />However, I do have a few questions in connection with this operation that I will <br />outline below. <br />Yesterday, I received a call from Mr. Barto Babitz, Fremont County Planning <br />Director. He informs me that Fremont Paving is reapplying for Fremont County <br />approval of this mining operation and is noia going through the entire special <br />use procedure. Since I was originally informed that this was unnecessary, <br />please clarify the situation as concerns County approval for this pit. <br />I also have heard that there is some concern that the mining of this property <br />may affect surrounding wells due to some interaction with the ground water table. <br />It was my understanding that this operation was to remove material down to the <br />existing level of the plant area in order to enlarge this area for industrial- <br />type uses. In this way, the operation would neither encounter nor affect ground <br />water, since no ground water would be exposed or used. Please clarify this <br />situation. <br />I note from your map that area "C" is identified as having been reclaimed Last <br />year. As you know, reclamation of the pit walls is to be to a reclaimed slope <br />of 3H:1V. Yesterday, I received a call from an adjacent landowner, Mr. Anthony <br />Beltramo, who mentioned that Fremont Paving has left nearly vertical highwalls <br />immediately adjacent to his fence at the property line. Reclamation in this <br />case will entail backfilling until the slope is 3:1, It would probably be <br />easier and more economical to leave the material there in the first place. If <br />these highwalls are allowed to remain for an extended period of time, the <br />possibility for off-site damage on Mr. Beltramo's property due to mass movement <br />DEPART OF NATURAL RESOURCES • <br />D Monte Pascoe.
