COLORADO 80907 <br />September 17, 1980 <br />Mr. Mark Loye <br />Reclamation Specialist <br />Mined Land Reclamation <br />423 Centennial Building <br />1313 Sloe rman S tree t <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />Dear Mr. Loye: <br /> <br />t ~~ 1J80 <br /> <br />Attached are two copies of the 110 Permit Application and sup- <br />porting documents for the similarly situated gravel pits of E1 <br />Paso County Department of Transportation. <br />E1 Paso County's gravel extraction operation is for the purpose <br />of construction and routine maintenance of over 2000 miles of <br />roads in the county. <br />Our pits are all on privately owned or leased range lands. [Je <br />operate with a gravel purchase agreement under which the County <br />pays the land owner a royalty on a per ton extracted basis. <br />None of our pit operations involve crushing, or washing of the <br />material, it is generally used as pit run material on the roads. <br />All of our pits are situated in the high plains area and share <br />similar soil and range grass situations. A11 are dry pits. <br />Because of the great area and thousands of miles of roads to <br />maintain it is necessary to have strategically located gravel <br />sources. We have 14 pits to serve 1,300 square miles. <br />We normally operate only two pits at any one time because of the <br />limitation of manpower and equipment and use each pit on a need <br />basis. Some pits may be used only once a year, others once <br />every two or three months. <br />While the enclosed photos are not of the best quality, I think <br />you can see that our pit operations are very responsible from tl7e <br />environmental stand point. <br />If you will please advise of any additional documentation required <br />I will make every effort to provide it. <br />I appreciate your assistance with the filing of this application <br />to date. <br />Sincerely <br />a cG(_k~~fV//L/a/e/V,_CU/h <br />fight-Of-Way Engineer <br />JV/Jg <br />(- <br />~.~~. <br /> <br />
