Pineda <br />Director <br />We have received your letter dated August 3, 2010 regarding your complaint that slurry wall installation at the <br />gravel pits across the river from your residence may be causing elevated river levels on your property. The letter <br />provides reference to a newly released USGS publication. The letter also requests that any bond release actions <br />for the adjacent pits should be delayed pending resolution of the issues cited in your letter. <br />We will review the USGS document and the files related to the adjacent permit areas. We may also contact you <br />in the near future for a possible meeting at your location. We are not aware of any bond release applications for <br />the above-referenced pits at this time. Any future bond release objections would need to occur once a formal <br />request for bond release is actually submitted by the adjacent permit holders. <br />We will also forward your complaint to the permit holder for the adjacent pits (L G Everest, Inc.) for their review <br />and response. <br />Thank you for your letter. We will be in contact after we have reviewed the new information. <br />Sincerel <br />David Berry <br />Director, Office of Mined Land Reclamation <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining and safety <br />CC: Tony Waldron <br />LG Everest <br />Office of Office of <br />Mined Land Reclamation Denver • Grand lunction 9 Durango Artiva and Innrtiva AAinac
