BOX 169 • LITTLETON, COLORADO 80160 • PHONE 794-4296 June 3, 1985 ,,. .~ Mined Land Reclamation Board L~ ,;r ,,l ,,r.r 423 Centennial Building '~ 1313 Sherman Street Denver, CO 80203 Re: Permit No. 74-41, Lawrence Construction Company Gravel Pit, Douglas County, Colorado Gentlemen: I would like to explain our position on the Lawrence Construction Company Gravel Pit cease and desist order. As you all know, from our letter dated May 9, 1985, which is enclosed, I am the culprit who ask for the Mined Land Reclamation Board investigation and in- spection of our pit. Many months previous I realized the fact that our lessee (Brinkmann-Woodward) was operating under conditions not in conformance with the rules and regulations governing our operation as set up by the Mined Land Reclamation Board. I do appreciate your concern in issueing the cease and desist order and since Lawrence Construction Company has the permit and since we are the operator we do realize the order is against us. So, at the time you decide the civil penalty I would appreciate if you would be as lenient as poss- ible, since we were also trying to stop an operation that was illegal. As far as the removal of top soil is concerned, we were hauling out pit run gravel and the loader operator inadvertently dug into the stockpile of topsoil. This pile was not strictly topsoil but very dark sandy granular material. This removal of topsoil was done inadvertently and since has been replaced with ideal top soil hauled in from an outside source. Respectively Yours, LAWRENCE CONSTRUCTION COMPANY ~~,~~~.~ Earl R.
