' MID-CONTINENT RESOURCES P.O.Box 1298 Glenwood Springs, CO 81602 June 8, 1993 Anthony J. Waldron ' Reclamation Specialist JUN 111993 Division of Minerals & Geology 1313 Sherman St. Room 215 Denver, CO 80203 RE: Rip-rap material. Additional sources. Dear Mr. Waldron: In previous correspondence I requested approval by the Division for use by Mid- Continent of debris flow found adjacent to Coal Creek, Porcupine Creek and Oilwell Creek as a source of rip-rap material. You indicated that I should inquire of the Corps of Engineers whether they had any objection. I did so, and they have responded, indicating that no permit would be required so long as the work we perform to obtain the material "would not involve a discharge of dredged or fill material below ordinary high water." The correspondence is attached for your review. The work to be performed would entail scooping up rock material and transporting it to the area where it would be placed for sediment control. Equipment used would probably be a front end loader, and possibly a dump truck. No deposit of material into the stream, or the ordinary high water mark of the stream, would occur. The areas from which material would be taken are outside of the normal high water point of the stream. The Division previously approved (MR-34) a request that rip-rap material be obtained from debris flow adjacent to Dutch Creek, and alongside Road D, at approximately Sta. 25+00. My request to obtain materials from these additional sources is prompted by the consideration that it is desirable to minimize the distances such material is to be hauled as a means to increase efficiency and reduce cost; also, we will be making extensive use of rip-rap for sediment control and additional sources are needed. These proposed areas contain durable rock material which would be suitable for the purpose. Yours truly, Diane Delaney ��
