The submitted materials are in compliance with the application requirements of Section 23-2-260 of the Weld County Code. The applicant, Miller Family Investments, owns this 40 acre parcel which they intend to extract the mineral resource. Of this total permit area, approximately 8.74 acres has historically been mined for road base. This old disturbance was before state permitting requirements and was never permitted. The proposal includes a crushing facility utilizing existing material to be crushed, stockpiled and dispersed by truck to job sites. There will be no concrete or asphalt batch plant at this location. 2. It is the opinion of the Department of Planning Services' staff that the applicant has shown compliance with Section 23-2-220 of the Weld County Code as follows: A. Section 23-2-220.A.1 -- The proposed use is consistent with Chapter 22 and any other applicable code provisions or ordinances in effect.

The estimated thickness of gravel-bearing zones varies from between 8 and 20 feet in depth over the entire site, with the overburden layer between 0-3 feet in depth. The material will be transported to the gravel processing area, crushed, screened and stockpiled until such time as the material is sold and trucked from the site. Section 22-5-80.8 (CM.Goal 3) states, "Minimize the impacts of surface mining activities on surrounding land uses, roads and highways." The applicant submitted a Landscape(seeding) Plan that specifically addresses wind and water erosion of disturbed areas and wind erosion of stockpiled materials. Further, the applicant shall demonstrate that the impacts to County Road 37 and adjacent haul route roads from these mine related activities will have minimal impact to the road to the traveling public. The application materials indicate that Drainage and Erosion control plans are in place to control run-off from the processing area. Dust control will be accomplished by utilizing a water truck, with water obtain from a construction tap from North Weld County Water District located in the Town of Pierce and transported to the site as needed. Further, the applicant has indicated that a Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) and Best Management Practices (BMP) Plan are in place along with the erosion control methods to be used at the mining site.

Section 23-2-220.A.2 -- The proposed use is consistent with the intent of the (A) Agricultural Zone District. Section 23-3-40.A.3 of the Weld County Code provides for a Site Specific Development Plan and a Special Review Permit for a Mineral Resource Development including Open Pit Mining and Materials Processing (sand, gravel and stone), in the A(Agricultural)Zone District C. Section 23-2-220.A.3 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the existing surrounding land uses. The site is currently utilized as non-irrigated pastureland and is surrounded by pasture and or farmland to the south, west and east and to the North is the North Pierce Gravel Mine, permitted by Weld County (USR-1716) The nearest residence is located approximately 2400 feet to the North of the proposed mine location. The application materials indicate that concurrent reclamation consists of re-grading and placement of topsoil materials. Reseeding will be done with native drought tolerant grass seed mixes. Access is from County Road 37 an existing graded gravel road maintained by Weld County through a double cattle guard at the gate entrance and into the site. D.

I. A waste handling plan that stipulates which company will be responsible for picking up trash is required. • Miller will higher a contractor for waste removal from the Lone Tree Mine. Waste will be removed from the site weekly. 2. The applicant needs to provide documentation on how stormwater flows will pass through the proposed mining operation. The applicant needs to coordinate with the operator of the pit of the north and east to ensure that storm flows in Lone Tree Creek are not adversely affected. GLA has assembled a stormwater flows map(See attached Map G)to show the stormwater flows during mining. Stormwater runoff will continue to flow along essentially the same path as prior to mining. Old mining on the Lone Tree Mine property lowered Long Tree Creek's channel at the south end of the property.This area is now full of cottonwood tree growth as can be seen on Map C-2. Modern mining of this property will not lower the creek channel any more,and will only widen the channel bottom out into the pit. Therefore stormwater flows through the site will be essentially the same before and after mining. As part of the DRMS permit, Miller has committed to pumping out of the old disturbance area any water after a storm that will not infiltrate into the ground within 72 hours of the storm.This will protect downstream water rights on Lone Tree Creek. • • 3. The Department of Planning Services request additional information on the hours of operation are daylight hours, and is this a Monday-Friday operation or also on weekends? Do the hours on the weekend remain the same? The Lone Tree Mine will operate from 6:30 am to 7:30 pm Monday though Saturday. Occasionally,Miller may require operational time on Sunday for large jobs,and a variation in the operational hours will be requested from Weld County in such a case. 4. [Provide,] Current within 30-days, the Certificate of Conveyance for this property. See attached Certificate of Conveyance 5. Land use fee Please see attached check for$5620.00. Please review our response on these items, and let us know if any further information is needed.

The plat is reflecting reserving for future right-of-way with State Highway 263 per recorded plat, 35 feet of additional diht-of-way from centerline for a total of 75 feet from centerline. Through the swap or trade with the State hway Department, any existing right-of-way or future reserved right-of-way should remain in place. Change the labeling for the State Highway call-out; add and show additional tracking pad with adequate turning radiuses for your vehicle types. Adjust any redline markups associated with the plat. Resubmit plat at USR application. TRAFFIC STUDY: The applicant has supplied a narrative identifying all vehicles utilizing the facility. The majority of the turning movements were indicated to be to the right.
