Travis stated, "without documentation and or photos it really <br /> wasn't a concern of theirs."We told Travis that the Moores have been removing material from all hay fields and up Turner <br /> Gulch draw of approximately 20 plus feet in depth for the past 10+ years. Filling the mined area with crusher fines, they <br /> mine this area mostly after dark. Most of this area is visible from state highway 141. <br /> After obtaining photos and videos of the operation, I filled out the DRMS complaint report. I chose to disclose my name so <br /> if the department needed more information or photos they could contact me.Amy Yeldell contacted me by email attached <br /> below. She stated there would be an inspection and she also was going to alert the Moores of the allegation.At the time <br /> of reporting when I disclosed my name, I was under the impression that it was for internal purposes only. Not that I would <br /> be named in her report and disclosed to the Moores who now are retaliating against me and my wife that live in Gateway <br /> near them.As of a couple weeks ago I also filled out a MSHA report. <br /> If you would like more information or if you have follow up questions, please email me. My phone service is in and out in <br /> Gateway. <br /> Joseph Larsen <br /> Amy Yeldell Email 3.24.25.pdf <br /> DRMS Complaint Report Intake 3202025 112919 <br /> AM.pdf <br /> Google Map index.pdf <br /> I M G_20250424_091916.j pg <br /> I M G_20250424_091926.j pg <br /> INSP-REPORTM M2023044 040420251011085 <br /> THM.pdf <br /> Moores Mine Drone view.mp4 <br /> Resized Screenshot 20250424 <br /> 092048_Gallery.jpeg <br /> https://mail.google.com/mail/b/ALGkdOxhJsspQ9WQy6M8ZvEdoQUrzvydSw2AkGT9zE9ZwUt2JrQJ/u/O/?ik=96aa8a08c9&view=pt&search=all&permt... 1/2 <br />
