We show the total affected <br />acreage to be 13.83 acres with the permitted acreage to be 14.0 acres. <br />We believe there are two factors which may give the appearance of a <br />larger affected acreage: <br />1. Plateau Inc. leases a 1.0 acre parcle from Alexander which is <br />adjacent to Animas Aggregates plant area. <br />2. The San Miguel River as it confluences with the South Fork of <br />the San Miguel River tends to wander and scour over the entire <br />area around the pit. The river erodes gravel in some area and <br />deposits gravel in other areas so as to give the appearance of <br />a larger sized mining operation. <br />Animas Aggregates, Inc. has never mined gravel directly from the San <br />Miguel river or operated machinery in the San Miguel river for the <br />purpose of mining gravel. The changing course nature of the confluence <br />of the two rivers may have given the appearance of mining in the river. <br />The Mined Land Reclamation Board has been provided with an updated surety <br />in the recommended amount of $20,460.00. <br />We believe there to be an on site volume of fines and overburden in <br />excess of 12,000 CY on hand to be used as plant growth medium for <br />reclamation purposes. Fines or silt in excess of reclamation requirements <br />are considered product and are sold as such. We intend to submit a <br />technical revision as soon as possible to show how the fines will be <br />augmented with the proper proportions of organics and fertilizer to <br />produce a satisfactory plant growth medium. <br />Although I have been manager of the Telluride Operation of Animas Aggregates <br />at the Alexander Pit for several years, I have had no contact with your <br />division. Please direct correspondence regarding the Alexander Pit to <br />Box 445, Telluride, Colorado 81435. <br />
