Shelton <br />Director <br />September 28, 1982 <br />Mr. Jack Gilleland <br />C & J Gravel Products, Inc. <br />SI9 County Road 509 <br />Ignacio, Colorado 81137 <br />RE: Montoya Pit <br />FILE: No. 80-146 <br />Dear Mr. Gilleland: <br />Enclosed please find the report of my inspection of September 21, 1982 <br />of the above captioned operation. I have several concerns that have <br />been outlined under the recommendations and observations sections of <br />that report. These need to be responded to by you by the date given <br />in the inspection report. <br />Please be advised that I have reviecred the file in this matter and am <br />aware of the history of the problem concerning the highwalls on this <br />site. I was not convinced, however, that there would be enough overburden <br />and topsoil to reconstruct the 3:1 slopes that have been committed to by <br />you in final reclamation. Therefore,I have requested a more exact <br />materials balance concerning the needs for, and sources of, backfill for <br />these slopes. I am concerned that these problems be resolved soon since <br />these highwalls are moving as mining progresses. <br />Furthermore, an analysis of the kinds of potential costs to the state for <br />reclamation of this site indicates that the existing $2,500.00 bond is <br />quite insufficient for the tasY.. The legislature raised the maximum bond <br />fora limited impact operation from $2,500.00 to $5,000.00 last year. <br />Therefore, I have scheduled Board consideration of a raise in bond for <br />this operation to $5,000.00. The Board will hear this matter during the <br />October 27-28, 1982 meeting. This meeting will be held at the Colorado <br />Mountain College, 1902 Blake Avenue, Room 5 on the Second Floor, in <br />Glenwood Springs. You may call our Division sometime on the Monday before <br />the Board meeting fora more specific time. <br />Please feel free to call me if you have any questions in this mutter.. <br />Sincerely, <br />'fir-~-> ~', ~ ,~'-~~ <br />Mark S.
