Box 349 <br />Canon City, Colorado 81212 <br />RE: Fremont Paving, Inc. - "MacKenzie Pit" <br />Our File I180-224 <br />Ernennst LLL. Snider - File ~i77-193 <br />~a..~ ' <br />Dear i~rci-nai~~. <br />As per your request, I made a monitoring inpsection of the above captioned <br />operation on July 9, 1982. I have enclosed a copy of my inspection report <br />and cover letter to the operator. As you will note, I found several problems <br />with the operation and made recommendations for the rectification of these <br />problems. I set a deadline by which the operator must reply to these <br />problems in order to avoid possible Board action. <br />The primary problem seems to be the exposure of groundwater by the operator. <br />Although it was obvious that water resulting from precipitation had stood in <br />the pit earlier this year, the two ponds I observed had obviously been <br />excavated to expose groundwater. It appeared that this water was being used <br />in some manner by the operator. The mining and reclamation permit stated <br />that no groundwater would be exposed by the operation. The operator needs <br />to resolve this problem as well as the others noted in order to avoid a <br />potential violation of his permit. <br />I do not know how my inspection will affect the status of the Fremont County <br />zoning approval for this operation. Please let me know the status of this <br />matter as soon as it becomes clear. Thank you for your assistance in this <br />matter. <br />Sincerely, <br />D~tiI~J <br />Mark S.
