This is a historical site that originated from a rock slide, the tongue of <br />which came into the meadow. Rock from this site was used in the foundations of the 100 year old <br />homestead buildings and in the building of the historical dikes. We organized the site for better access to <br />the stone for ranch projects such as building up the road way edges where stone was needed for support, <br />setting rock into the stream banks along the dike by the adjacent trout ponds, securing the historical dike <br />along Devil Creek before Canyon Sand and Gravel came into existence, and for construction of the wall and <br />kiva at the north end of the CSG lake. There is a historical pond that washed out by flooding on the west <br />branch of the ranch and much of the small "rip-rap" will be used to stabilize its banks. Some of the large <br />beautiful rock will be used in finishing the landscaping of the island. The site is in this process being <br />prepped for a house site set back into the space which creates a SW exposure and beautiful view without <br />taking up any of the adjacent meadow. <br />There is a great deal of larger stone that is separated out of the raw material in the gravel pit during the <br />prepping of the material that is to be crushed. That stone is put into piles by size and is for sale in the pit's <br />stockpile area. <br />If any more information is needed contact me. My phone number is 731-4707. <br />Sincerely, <br />Robert Scott <br />Canyon Sand and Gravel - Ownerr erator
