Lochhead <br />Erecwive Director <br />Michael B. Long <br />Division Direc tar <br />Thank you for your 9/16/96 correspondence, regarding the above referenced application. <br />The proposed mining operation is located approximately 4 miles NE of Palisade, in <br />portions of the SW 1/4 of the SW 1/4 of Section 35, T10S, R98W, 6th PM, Mesa <br />County. DMG is reviewing the application submitted by Mr. Rudolph Fontanari. <br />Your 9/16/96 letter stated that Ute Water Conservancy District did not object to the <br />proposed mining operation but stated two concerns relating to ground shock resulting <br />from blasting, and possible water line damage from equipment traffic. Your letter also <br />stated a request for "Operation Plan". <br />Please find enclosed, 10 pages of maps and text, copied from Mr. Fontanari's application. <br />The enclosed information provides specific description of the proposed operation. Vicinity <br />Map shows the location of the permit area and designated haul route. Mining Plan states <br />that excavation will be conducted with conventional equipment, explosives will not be <br />utilized. Heavy equipment and haul truck traffic is to be limited to the existing haul road, <br />which extends north from the permit area to I-70. <br />Locations of the water lines, identified in your 9/16/96 letter, are not depicted on the <br />application maps. Please clarify the locations of the referenced water lines. <br />Please contact me at the DMG Durango office, 484 Turner Drive, Building F, Suite 101, <br />Durango, CO 81301, phone (970) 247-5193, if I can be of greater service. <br />Since~r/e~ly, <br />~uracf J~1' • Lr.~- <br />Wallace H.
