Nichols Letter response. <br />Dear Dustin: <br />When Jack, Jr. and Barbara Clark purchased the property where <br />their shop, house, pit 1 & 2 are located was void of all <br />buildings or signs of the original townsite. The Hamlet Mine <br />Complex is owned by Fred Reece (adjacent property owner). The <br />Clark's have made a commitment to keep the historic railroad <br />grade, which passes through their property in tack and <br />undisturbed. All of the surface which is part of the proposed <br />112 conversion has been disturbed by the previous owners and <br />the recent mining activities. <br />The Clark's welcome any inspection by the State Historical <br />Office and any advice on how to locate and protect any additional <br />historical sites at their location. If any potential historic <br />sites are encountered during future mining activities work <br />will be stopped and the State will be notified. <br />In the matter of water use from pit 1 I have enclosed a copy of <br />the state engineers letter concerning the pit 1 well. If a <br />state or other large gravel contract should be awarded to the <br />Clark's a new well permit will be applied for so additional <br />water amounts and uses will be identified and requested. <br />Sincerely, <br />Charles R. Ponchak for <br />Upper Animas Sand & Gravel
