<br /> <br />One other change in the interest of public safety and no trespassing is described below. <br />There is a good fence with a gate running along the east side of Phases 7 & 8. The gate <br />has been a constant problem, frequently opened by trespassers or cut and left open. BLM <br />may suggest this gate be replaced by fence. United is concerned someone will enter the <br />property from this location on motorcycle, four wheeler, etc. (vehicle of some sort - <br />maybe horseback), and be injured on the property. United has also had vandalism <br />problems with front end loader cab glass being broken out. United proposes to put a 8 to <br />10 ft. high safety berm of overburden along this stretch of fence (on the pit side of the <br />fence) to slowdown, if not stop, access to the pit. This material would also serve as the <br />safety berm on Phases 7 & 8. BLM may not go for this berm. <br />. United Companies hasen't produced any material at the BLM location for quite some <br />time due to the demand for materials at other locations and due to the number of crushers <br />to satisfy the demand. By opening up a slightly larger mining area, more material can be <br />produced during by a single crusher move in, thereby providing more material for sale <br />and more royalty potential for the BLM. United has plans to begin stripping Phase 4 <br />probably next week. United will continue using the current approved plan for this <br />upcoming mining event as more room on BLM is needed before crushing, processing, <br />and stockpiling can all take place on BLM. <br />United would appreciate your early consideration and approval of out request. I've <br />sketched the changes on the enclosed map of the area and am available to answer any <br />questions you may have. The local BLM office (Steve Gerwe) is reviewing this request <br />for mining change as well. A check for $216.00 is enclosed.
