BOX 857 <br />PUEBLO,COLORADO 81002 <br />(303) 561-8350 <br />We started stripping pit in February, 1985. We built a dyke between <br />the river and proposed excavation. This left a 100' buffer zone. <br />Several days of rain in the spring caused the river to rise. This <br />caused a current that washed about 15 feet of the river bank about 200' <br />long taking away trees with it. This left us with 85 feet of buffer <br />zone in this area. We have recently corrected this by moving the dyke <br />to the north giving us back over 100 feet of buffer zone. However, in <br />moving dirt over, we had to use bulldozer and distrubed part of the <br />area in the buffer zone. This is being smoothed out so vegetation can <br />grow back. <br />We applied for and received a water discharge permit so we could <br />lower the water table in the area we were excavating. <br />While the lake was pumped down, we sloped the south side that <br />would be under the water table. <br />We have excavated and processed 46,960 tons of material. ~e'a;~(f~nr, <br />J <br />Land excavated 2.8 acres h ~~._1/,1 <br />Land distrubed 6.9 acres C]'I <br />Total distrubed 9.7 acres 4~~%~Ef".~r 8,`98j <br />OOp, ~~e/'~d'~ ,. ,. <br />One acre of land was reclaimed b slo in south bank, v~Al.Of~~,...` ~~•..;!~.. <br />Y P g ...,,,~, , ,',~... <br />[Je have applied for a 112 permit on our land that surrounds this ~ts`JrC;~~ <br />110 permit. <br />Sincerely, <br />f/ <br />Bruce Cramb, C-eneral Manager <br />yalco, Inc. <br />P.~O.
