As per your letter dated January 2, 1992, this is to serve
as a response to the concerns raised in the letters yvu
received:
1. Ouray County Poard of Commissioners
A meeting was held with the commissioners on 116/92 at
which time a discussion was held regarding the Permit
Applications to Ouray County, MLRD, and Corps of
Engineers. The county referred the applications to the
Ouray County Planning Commission far comment. The
Commissioners will review the comments at their meeting on
February 3.
2. Concerned Citizens of Ouray (12/26/91 & 12/28/91)
In response to (i) Off site Imoacts, the matters
dealing with the Uncompahgre River flow will be part of
the U. 5. Army Corps of Engineers Permit. A meeting is
being held in Grand Junction on 1/9/92 to review the 404
permit application.
Martine Webb, the property owner to the south and
west, has a very good working relationship with ZMK and
has previously requested their help in protecting his
property during times of high water, A letter of
agreement is being prepared to assure that ZMK will
compensate Webb for damage of structures within 200 ft of
the affected area.
The 300 ft buffer zone at the south end of the permit
area was deemed sufficient by the Soil Conservation
Service.
The testing of the water table assured that mining can
be conducted to a 10 ft depth, near flowing water, without
encountering water. The water table is at 40 ft on Webbs
property, as indicated on a well permit, It is assumed
that mining to a depth of 10 ft in a dry area will not
affect the water table several hundred feet away at a
depth of 40 ft.
