<br /> <br />jThe Corley Company <br />Phone 632.5050 P.O. Box 1821 <br />COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO 80901 RECEIVED <br />August 24, 1999 AUG 2 51999 <br />Division of Minerals & Geology <br />Mr. David A. Berry <br />Division of Minerals and Geology <br />1313 Sherman St., Rm. 215 <br />Denver CO 80203 <br />S <br />Dear Mr. Berry, ?- <br />\ <br />I was near the GEC reclamation area in Section 24 today, and I noticed <br />a new subsidence feature with considerable smoke. The hole is about <br />ten feet in diameter and has subsided ten or twelve feet. The smoke is <br />coming from the edges without an obvious void. This hole is fairly new <br />judging from the vegetation around the top edge; there is little burning of <br />the grass. This hole is located about two hundred feet north of the <br />southeast corner of the fence around the old fire area and about fifty feet <br />e? ast of that fence,. We have given some thought to the possible remedial work on the GEC?? <br />east pit. We think that the road that Energy must use to go to their fan is S NY\, a$ <br />probably the highest priority job, especially through the east pit drainage <br />9„? <br />area. We have two used thirty inch culverts that would be long enough to <br />put in the bottom, if that would be any help to you. The concrete structures ?sG <br />are probably damaged beyond saving, and we don't have any suggestions at <br />this point. The other major problems are the gullies on the various slopes. I <br />don't know if there is any useful way to stop their continued down cutting <br />since these slopes are too steep as constructed. Yes, some of the slopes are <br />steeper than the specifications of the original contract, and I doubt that . <br />anything can be done now. Contour ditches would have been a real help, b <br />probably not now. <br />Sincerely, <br />W.D. Corley, Jr. <br />President <br />G?? <br />k'Al
