Russell Means �/AUG 1 1 2016 <br /> Senior Environmental Protection Specialist D;'`:'S10N OF RECLAMATION <br /> Western Slope Field Office Supervisor MINING AND SAFETY <br /> 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br /> Denver,CO 80203 <br /> RE: Norwood United Pit, Permit No. M-1988-037 <br /> Dear Mr. Means, <br /> I am writing in rep ons to your letter dated January 5, 2016,the subject being related to a complaint letter from the <br /> adjacent land owner, Ms. Gaston and her claim that the irrigation diversion structure supplying water to the gravel <br /> pit is on her property. <br /> Jason Burkey and I conducted a site visit on June 22, 2016. We walked the fence line between Ms. Gaston's property <br /> and the pit boundary.The fence line is fully intact and is barely visible due to the thick willow growth in the area. We <br /> found the irrigation structure and it appears the majority of the structure is on the south side of the fence which <br /> indicates it is on the Gaston property.The structure however is fully within the Bollinger Ditch and is well within the <br /> easement or right of way of the Bollinger Ditch.The piping coming out of the structure and holding pond are all on <br /> the north side of the fence which is on the lease Norwood Pit property. <br /> Additionally, I had a discussion with the Norwood Pit land owner, Ruth Skelton,who originally permitted the gravel <br /> pit and along with her husband Dewayne installed the irrigation diversion structure. Ruth informed me that the <br /> irrigation structure was constructed within the Bollinger Ditch right of way with the approval of the Bollinger Ditch <br /> Board of Directors and the current ditch rider at the time.The approval is in the minutes of the Bollinger Ditch Board <br /> meetings. Ruth has looked into this situation two times in the past due to complaints from Ms. Gaston. <br /> To clarify this situation,we feel the irrigation diversion structure was installed by the Norwood Pit landowners, Ruth <br /> and Dewayne Skelton and was approved by the Bollinger Ditch Board of Directors and lies within the Bollinger Ditch <br /> right of way. <br /> If you need any additional information please feel free to contact me. <br /> PeterJ. <br /> iegmund <br /> Vice President,Oldcastle SW Group, Inc. <br /> 2273 Rivc:r F?oad <br /> PO Pox.609 <br /> Grand'hinc:tion.
