Applegate <br />Group, inc. <br />WATER RESOURCE ADVISORS FOR THE WEST <br />Memorandum <br />Date: January 23, 2008 <br />To: File <br />From: Lisa Farmer <br />Subject: Parkdale Quarry DRMS Amendment - Army Corps of Engineers <br />File No. 05-183 <br />On October 24, 2007, Anita Culp with the Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) was contacted via email to identify their <br />jurisdictional status of Tallahassee Creek and the three drainages within the granite quarry. The email included two maps <br />used for the Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety permit amendment: the Existing Conditions Map and the Mining <br />Plan Map. The maps illustrated the permit boundary, the proposed limits of disturbance and the proposed limits of mining. <br />Anita was informed that the only movement within the Creek area would be some traffic of mining equipment which will <br />utilize the bridge that is already in place. <br />A follow up phone call from Anita took place on October 25, 2007. She informed us that from the USGS quad map the <br />drainages through the quarry appear to be ephemeral and are therefore not within the jurisdiction of the Corps. The 100-ft <br />setback for mining from the southern toe of Tallahassee Creek was noted for the sand and gravel operation and considered <br />adequate. <br />1499 West 120t` Avenue, Suite 200 9 Denver, Colorado 80234-2728 • (303) 452-6611 • Fax: (303) 452-2759
