On September 30, 2008 staff conducted a normal <br />monitoring inspection of the Martin Pit, permit number M-1990-140 operated by Duran <br />and Pearce contractors and found issues that may or may not concern Moffat County. <br />Specifically areas of the pit appear to be being used for the disposal of household and <br />commercial waste. The inspector noted metals, plastics, wood debris and other materials <br />either stockpiled or partially buried at the site. The Division is addressing other issues on <br />the site with appropriate local authorities and through its jurisdiction as well. The <br />forwarded report is for County reference and as noted may or may not be a land use issue <br />which is outside the Division's jurisdiction if it falls under landfill regulations. <br />If you need additional information, please contact me at the Division of Reclamation, <br />Mining and Safety, Grand Junction Field Office, 101 S. 3rd St., Suite 301, Grand <br />Junction, Colorado 81501, telephone no. 970.241.1117. <br />Sincerely, <br />G.
