EXHIBIT B - INTRODUCTION AND SITE DESCRIPTION
Introduction
This document with the accompanying map is to satisfy both the
• County's requirement for a site plan review and the MLRB's
requirements for a 110 permit. The intent of the plan is to
provided for grading to allow the 6+ acre portion of the property
under consideration here to be developed in the future for
industrial uses.
• Present Conditions
John's Meats Inc. owns 10± acres of industrially zoned property in
south Weld County, and a 6+ acre portion is proposed for grading
and off-site export of borrow material. The principal owner of
John's Meats, Inc. , Mr. John Willard, was unaware any MLRB permit
• was necessary and began grading and off-site export of material
earlier this year. This plan and accompanying forms, fees, etc.
are being undertaken in order to conform with both County and State
requirements.
The front 4± acres contains John's Meats buildings and business,
• which is a custom meat cutting and packing operation. This 4±
acres contains the only manmade structures within a 1/2 mile of the
site. The only structures on the property is fencing as shown on
the accompanying map.
The surrounding property to the west and north is owned by Mr. John
• Willard who is also the principal owner of John' s Meat, Inc. To
the east of the grading area there is an unused County R.O.W.
across which is another property owner. The list of affected
property owners in this booklet includes the properties owners
within a 1/4 mile of either John's Meats or Willard' s properties
including those across any County right-of-way.
•
The accompanying map shows the existing topography, or rather what
topography existed in 1989. This topography was undertaken in 1989
in conjunction with a landfill application on the adjacent property
also owned by John Willard. The 6+ acres had been previously graded
prior to MLRB and County requirements, but the amount of
• disturbance undertaken this summer has not substantially changed
the conditions shown on the map. The property is part of the high
ridge of the area and drains east and northeast. This historic
- drainage pattern will be maintained after grading and revegetation
has been completed.
•
•
•
6
•
The soils on the site are defined as Valent Sand with 3 to 9%
slopes. These are well drained soils with a typical surface layer
of brown sand 6" thick. Permeability is rapid, available water
capacity moderate, surface runoff slow, and erosion hazards are
• low. Existing vegetation consists of 90% native grasses such as:
little bluestem, big bluestem, western wheatgrass, switch grass,
side oats gram, blue grama, sand dropseed, crested wheatgrass, red
three awn, cheat grass, and rye. Other vegetation consists of
russian thistle, musk thistle, prickly poppy, blue alfalfa, wild
licorie, ragweed, wild mustard, dotted gray feather rochia, yucca,
• and sagebrush. Area grazed by cattle and horses. Vegetative cover
defined as heavy.
A copy of the soil conservation letter on soil characteristics ,
vegetative inventory, and revegetation information is reproduced on
the next four pages.
•
The letter was prepared in the process of preparing the application
for the adjacent landfill. The soils conditions and vegetative
inventory for a portion of that property are the same as for this
property. In terms of revegetation, the amount of topsoil proposed
is different. For the landfill , that application was prepared with
• the thought in mind of separating the surface with a minimum of
five feet from the fill material . Since that standard is not
applicable for the property proposed for grading in this
application, only one foot is proposed.
Wildlife on site and in area consists of deer, rabbits, skunk,
• marmot, coyote , fox, weasel, pheasant, raptors, magpie, small
rodents, and seasonal songbirds. No known threatened or endangered
species. Page 11 is a copy of the Wildlife Evaluation prepared by
the Division of Wildlife that was prepared for the adjacent
landfill. As with the soils, the conditions are the same for this
property.

RE: Soils Information. and Vegetative Inventory
•
•
Dear Mr. Willard : -
• The information you requested on land in part of the S 1/2,
NE 1/4, Section 34, Township 1 North, Range 6-' West, (see
attached soils map) , is included or attached to this letter.
It is my understanding that the request is to remove soil
from the property, backfill with construction waste , place
• soil material and topsoil over the waste and reseed to
adapted grasses.
SOILS INFORMATION:. Soils for the area requested, according
to the Soil Survey of Weld County, Colorado , Southern Part,
• are mapped as follows :
45 - Olney loamy sand , 3 to 5. percent slopes . •
70 - Valent sand , 3 to 9 percent slopes .
A copy of the detailed soil description for each of the
• soils is attached. A copy of the soil survey can be
obtained from this office .
VEGETATIVE INFORMATION: This area has been cultivated in •
the past then reseeded to native grasses . The grasses
inventoried consisted of little bluestem, big bluestem, sand
• bluestem, western wheatgrass , switchgrass , side oats grama,
blue grama, sand dropseed, crested wheatgrass, .r•ed three •
• awn , cheatgrass and rye. Other vegetation consisted ' of
Russian thistle, musk thistle, bull thistle, prickly poppy, •
wild licorice , ragweed, wild mustard, dotted gay feather,
_ blue alfalfa, kochia, yucca and sand sagebrush.
•
The area is being grazed by cattle and horses . At present
it has an excellent stand of grass. Over ninety percent of
the vegetation is grasses.
•
•
•
(_•
•
•
• RECLAMATION PLAN: •
•
.1 ) Topsoil : During mining operations , the top five feet of
soil should be removed separated into topsoil and subsoil
then stockpiled; or after the first pit is open it can be
takerr• from the area where excavation is to be done next and
placed over the . area that has been filled with construction
t. waste . The .subsoil should be placed directly over the
.construction waste and then topsoil used as a surface
dressing to seed grass into. Stockpiled soil should be
protected from wind and water erosion . This can be
accomplished by seeding to adapted grasses. Stockpiled
topsoil should not exceed 3: 1 (3 horizontal to 1 vertical )
• • slopes.
•
. 2) Slopes: On the south and west sides there should be a
• setback area away from adjoining property before excavation
starts . The cut slopes into the existing soil should be 2: 1
or flatter. Any fill above the natural Ground level should
• have a 4: 1 slope or flatter. For every 5 foot of fill above
natural ground level there should be a 4 ' to 5' wide level
bench.
2) Fertilizer: A soil test should be taken to determine
fertilizer recommendations before seeding grass . In the
• absence of a soil test, forty pounds of nitrogen and forty
pounds of phosphorous per acre should be applied just prior
of during seeding the area to grass. The fertilizer should •
be mixed into the soil . Barnyard manure can be used as a
mulch and can replace part of the fertilizer. See attached
SCS Standards and Specification for Mulching .
•
4) Grass Seeding: Grass seeding should be done between
November 1 and May 1 . It ' s best to seed in the fall .
Seeding should not be done on frozen soil . The seedbed
should be firm and clean of weeds . After the land is seeded
to grass, it should be covered with a mulch ( see item S on
• next page) . The fol lowing is a seeding recommendation to
return the area to native grasses . -

* Pounds per acre of Pure Live Seed. This • r•ate is for a
grass seed drill . Grass should be planted using a grass
- seed drill with agitators in the -drill box, double disc with
• depth bands and packer wheels . Over ninety percent of the
seed should be planted at a depth of 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch
deep. This rate should be doubled if broadcast seeding is
used.
•
•
.
3 •
•
5) Mulching : After seeding is completed, approximately
a 4004 pounds per acre of straw or hay mulch should be •
applied. This mulch should be anchored . One method is to •
• use a straw crimper and "crimp" the mulch into the soil .
• .This should help to control erosion until the grass becomes
established . See attached SOS Standards and Specifications
for Mulching. -
, • . •
. 6) Weed Control : Weed control is necessary to insure a
successful seeding . Weeds can be controlled by mowing
and/or chemicals . Mow weeds when they are G to 8 inches
. high , leaving a S to 4 inch stubble . Do not clip off the
• top of the newly seeded grass. This should be done for the
• • . first growing -season. After the first growing season and
. the seeded plants have reached the four leaf stage, the
. appropriate herbicides may be used to control weeds . Any
-chemicals used will need to be used according to
manufacturer ' s labeling .
• 7) Grazing : The area should be protected and grazing
should be prohibited until the grass is established. Once
established, the grass should be properly grazed.
8) Trees: Trees around the perimeter could include : Rocky
Mountain Juniper , Easter Red Cedar , Russian Give , Siberian
• Elm, Honeylocust , Green Ash or Hackberry.
If I can be of further assistance, please feel fre to
contact this office .

• EXHIBIT C - MINING/GRADING PLAN
General Description - Mining/Grading
Stripping and storage of topsoil for later revegetation, and
• removal of excess material offsite. Property has historically
drained to east and northeast. Topsoil storage piles will be
temporarily revegetated to prevent erosion and weed growth.
Excavation will begin in center of grading area and proceed to
sides of grading area to help retain rainfall on site by
percolation into the very porous soils. Access is a private
• existing dirt road to paved County Road #4.
Mining/Grading Plan Notes:
1 . Begin end of 1990; end December 1995 or sooner.
• 2. One foot of topsoil to be saved.
3. No overburden is present or will be removed.
4. 2' to 6' of borrow material will be from grading area &
conveyed out of the grading area either off-site or to other
• portion of the property is landfill approved.
5. Operation consists of removal and storage of topsoil, removal
of borrow material & transport from borrow area. Scrapers, trucks,
frontend loaders, and similar equipment will be utilized. No other
processing is involved.
•
6. The only disturbance will be grading in the defined area.
7 . Existing dirt access road will continue to be utilized as
shown.
• 8. A water truck will be utilized as needed for dust control.
Water will be obtained from a legal source. No other water will be
utilized in operation.
9. No ground water will be encountered or utilized.
• 10. No water rights will be impacted.
11. Drainage runoff will continue as presently happens, but with
flatter slopes. No offsite discharge in excess of previous
conditions will be allowed and will probably be less given porous
nature of soils.
•
12. Topsoil storage areas will be temporarily broadcast seeded
with native grasses as recommended by the Soil Conservation
Service.

1 EXHIBIT D - RECLAMATION PLAN
General Description of Reclamation
.• At completion of grading to approximate 2% slopes, topsoil will be
respread over disturbed areas and revegetated. After revegetation
drainage will return to historic pattern, except probably less
storm runoff will exit property because slopes will be flatter than
previously existed and therefore porous soils will retain more
• stormwater.
•
Reclamation Plan Notes:
1 . One foot of topsoil will be spread over disturbed areas.
2 . No slopes greater (steeper) than 3 : 1 will be allowed.
•
3. Seeding will occur in late fall or early spring.
4. Seeding will consist of the following:
Grasses % of Mix Seeding Rate*
A. Elida Sand 30 • 4.80
Bluestem
B. Goshen Prairie 30 1 .95
Sandreed
•
C. Grenville 20 .90
Switchgrass
D. Llano Yellow 20 2.00
Indian Grass
•
*Drill Seeded - Double rate if broadcast. - Mulch 2 tons/acre
of straw. Control weeds by cutting. Prohibit grazing until
grass established. See Soil Conservation Service letter dated
11/29/89.
