O'BRIAN 7985 VANCE DRIVE, SUITE 205A <br />PRESIDENT ARVADA, COLORADO 80003 <br />303-423-7297 <br />October 24, 1995 <br />Mr. Gary S. Curtiss <br />Division of Minerals and Geology <br />Minerals Section - North <br />1313 Sherman St, Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />Dear Gary: <br />RE: Lakewood Brick and Tile, CO. <br />MLRB Permit # M-79-045 <br />Inspection Problems <br />RF(`,EIVED <br />OCT 2 5 ~ggy <br />Division of Minerals ~ Geoioy; <br />As noted in your inspection report dated 2-June-95 there were four <br />possible problems at this facility that could affect the request we <br />submitted in January 1995. I responded to #2 in August 1995 by <br />submitting photos of the signs and markers and asked for an extension on <br />Items #1, 3 and #4. <br />Items 1 and 3 concerned the importation of Recyclable asphalt and <br />concrete Jefferson County Road Department had hauled to the site for <br />processing. After discussing the issue with them they decided to stop <br />this practice immediately and began processing and hauling the crushed <br />material from the site. I asked them if they wanted to continue this <br />practice in the future and advised them we had to make changes to the <br />permit to allow this practice if they did. They assured me that they <br />would not do it again since they planned to create a recycling center in <br />central Jeffco where this would take place from now on. <br />In August 1995 I visited the site and all raw material was crushed, a <br />r~~ large stockpile of this processed materials was in place, but it appeared <br />t they were hauling it offsite as fast as possible. The county supervisor <br />~ stated it would be gone within the next 120 days. Earlier this week I <br />~.-~ again visited the site and would estimate approximately 508 of the <br />material was gone. I expect they will be finished removing the material <br />within the next 60 days. For these reasons Items 1 and 3 can be noted <br />as corrected and no further action is required. If this type of <br />operation ever takes place again, we will submit the appropriate change <br />and bond evaluation to cover it before the activity takes place. <br />Item #4 is the hardest to address. The water that has accumulated in the <br />excavation is from surface runoff. This water accumulated in the area <br />where clay was extracted and is not associated with the upper surface of <br />gravel. Our experience is that it accumulated from surface moisture, <br />i.e., rain, snow, etc., and is not part of the ground water table. The <br />operators observations over the past 20 years indicate that at no time <br />
