These are basic guide lines to help define the use of resources at the ranch.
1. All gravel from the pit for use on individual private ground must be permitted through the BLM office in Kanab, Utah. Currently the cost is $.50 per cubic yard.
2. All gravel from pit for use on individual lots must be permitted through DSROA also and it further carries a $.50 per cubic yard price. This is to help with the reclamation costs and is paid to Deer Springs Ranch.
3. Users from the DSROA pit must be members of the association. No gravel is for sale to off ranch property sites.
4. Members are limited at this time to 100 cubic yards. This amount may be adjusted by the board. (With 300+ members our pit areas will not support each member taking large volumes.)
5. Prior to removing any material from the pit area, members must coordinate with a board representative for appropriate area of removal. (Larry Clarkson & Brent Fullmer are currently the Representatives to contact.) This is because we not only want to provide gravel for members but also shape the pit area for most effective reclamation and enhancement of road right of way. Also, we are very close to other member lots in this area and must be aware of no encroachment on their lots.
6. Members and their contractors will be responsible for all excessive wear and damage to ranch road surfaces. (Heavy truck traffic does cause road life to be shortened.)
7. All operations to remove gravel from pit area must be done with member safety in mind. At no time can equipment be left as to cause harm or injury to members or vehicles traveling the ranch roads. Should temporary detours be deemed necessary, it is the responsibility of the member and contractor to provide adequate signage to prevent collisions with equipment, material, or other ranch traffic.
8. DSROA has been limited at this time to a 5 acre disturbance at the existing pit site. No member may remove fill from any undisturbed areas without first contacting board representative Larry Clarkson or Brent Fullmer.
9. Due to noise concerns, all work at the gravel pit and the hauling of material from same will be conducted from sunup to sundown ONLY.
