Brown Daniel, McCain & Brown Attorneys at Law Brighton Professional Building 105 Bridge Street Brighton, CO 80601 Dear Mr. Brown: In accordance with your letter of October 29, 1974, we have an analysis , of the water situation pertaining to the proposed Platte Gravel Corporation t gravel mining operation in Sections 9, 16 and 17 , T2N, R68W. In preparation ' for this analysis, we reviewed the correspondence and documents enclosed with your letter, along with information on historical cropping from the U. S. Soil Conservation Service. As shown on Exhibit A, we estimate that the average annual total con- sumptive use of water from all sources (precipitation, ground water and irrigation ditch water) on the 317-acre tract has historically been about 756 acre-feet. This estimate is based on the assumption that the irrigated crops have historically had an adequate water supply most of the time. Exhibit A also shows that the estimated average annual total consumptive , use of water from the 317 acres after completion of mining and reclamation is 786 acre-feet. This estimate assumes a final water-surface area of 201 acres as depicted on the "Rehabilitation Plan" bearing the revision date of September 25, 1974. These analyses indicate that the total consumptive use of water from all sources can be expected to be about 30 acre-feet per year more after completion of the mining and reclamation activities as compared to the historical use. It is also important to determine as near as possible the average annual consumptive use attributable to irrigation ditch water and ground water before and after mining. Part II of Exhibit A shows our estimate of the historical consumptive use of irrigation ditch water to be about 488 acre- feet per year. After completion of the mining and reclamation activities and putting 50 acres of land under irrigation, we estimate the average annual consumptive use of irrigation water to be 102 acre-feet. This represents a reduction of about 386 acre-feet of irrigation water consumptive use. Field Office is Fort Morgan, Colorado (303) 8075870 ¢. Mr. Edward A. Brown December 19, 1974 Page 2 • Part III of Exhibit A shows the expected change in consumptive use of ground water. We estimate the historical average annual consumptive use of ground water to be about 118 acre-feet. After completion of mining and reclamation, the estimated consumptive use of ground water will be 442 acre- feet,or an increase of 324 acre-feet. The net change in use of the combina- tion of irrigation ditch water and ground water is estimated to be a reduction of 62 acre-feet per year from before-mining to after-mining conditions. We understand from the information provided to us the property has been irrigated with water provided by five shares of the Godding, Dailey and Plumb Ditch, one and one-half shares of stock in the Smith and Emmons Ditch and 100 units of Colorado-Big Thompson Project water. Using data we have in this office, we estimate the average volume of water available from these three sources has been 652 acre-feet per year. This assumes each share of Godding, Daily and Plumb to be worth 54.4 acre-feet, each share of Smith and Emmons to deliver 206.5 acre-feet and each unit of C-BT to deliver 0.7 acre-feet. This is slightly more than the information provided in your letter of October 29. If we use that data plus the 0.7 acre-feet per C-BT unit, the total average annual delivery amounts to 602 acre-feet. The 50 acres proposed to be irrigated at the completion of mining represents 20 percent of the historically irrigated acreage. Both stock and C-BT units representing 120 to 130 acre-feet of water should be retained for this purpose. In brief, we estimate that the burden on Boulder Creek,and therefore on the District 6 water users, will not be as great after mining and reclamation as under the historical irrigation practices. If all of the water now used on the property except approximately 130 acre-feet is left in Boulder Creek, and that 130 acre-feet used on the 50 acres of land proposed to be irrigated after reclamation, there should be no harm dope to the other water rights. We, therefore, recommend that these figures be incorporated in a plan for augmentation for the property. We see no need to enter into a separate agree- • ment with the District 6 water users. The matter of progressive release of the water to the river over the • five to ten years of gravel mining should be treated in the plan for augmen- tation. If the expected minimum mining time is five years, I recommend that the plan for augmentation indicate a 20 percent release per year of the por- tion of the shares of stock that will be allocated to this purpose. Protection should also be incorporated, as you have suggested, in case the project is stopped for one reason or another, and the full mining plan is not carried out. I should point out that one of the critical numbers in the above analyses is the 201 acres of free-water surface after completion of mining. I under- stand that no test boring has been performed, therefore the depth and thick- ness of the gravel deposit, as well as the volume of overburden and reject material is only estimated at this time. It would be advisable to determine this information more accurately because, as you can see, the surface area of the remaining lakes heavily influences the amount of expected consumptive use.

Gentlemen: We represent The Water Users Association of District No. 6 and have been advised by Mr. Milton H. Nelson and Mr. Robert C. Brand, P.E. , representing the Water Users , that there is a hearing on August 26th, 1974 . There was to be a written agreement entered into between the Water Users and the owner (and perhaps the County, State Engineer or Department of Natural Resources also as parties) to resolve the problems created by the proposed gravel mining operation. The terms of such agreement have not been agreed upon. We enclose a copy of Mr. Nelson' s letter to Mrs . Lee of July 15th, 1974 , outlining some of the problems . The State Engineer also desires to approve a plan of augmentation. We trust the owner will agree upon the terms with the Water Users and you will not issue the permit until this has been accomplished in writing. If you or the owner have any questions concerning this, please communicate with Mr. Nelson or Mr. Brand. Thank you for your consideration.

Since a detailed plan of augmentation was not submitted concerning type of crops that have historically been grown on this parcel of land, the consumptive use of these crops, historical return flow patterns, yields of the ditch com- pany stock, elevation of the finished lakes and the flow line of Boulder Creek, and anticipated evaporative losses, many assumptions have been made in order to determine historical water use volumes and anticipated water use volumes as they relate to the rehabilitation plan. If the assumptions District 6 Water Users have made in evaluating this plan of agumentation are correct, it appears that the land envisioned for gravel mining has historically needed approximately 639 acre-feet of water during a critical water year (such as 1954) . The water currently owned by the applicant has furnished approximately 500 acre-feet of water, while the remaining 139 acre-feet of water probably has been furnished by the high groundwater table in the area. The applicant's reclamation plan will consume approximately 753 acre-feet of water, or approximately 114 acre-feet of water more than the land is consuming now. Therefore, District 6 Water Users recommend that the applicant assure, via contract, the District 6 Water Users that he will furnish the waters in his plan of augmentation (i .e. , 100 units of Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District water, five shares of capital stock of Godding, Dailey, and Plumb Ditch Company, and one and one-half shares of stock in the Smith and Emmons Ditch Company) and an additional 114 acre-feet of water from a source of his choosing. Since many assumptions were made in compiling the above figures which may or • may not be correct, if the applicant does not wish to furnish an additional 114 acre-feet to the District 6 Water Users, then the Water Users recommend that the applicant submit his own plan of augmentation to District 6 Water Users for their review. The Water Users will be happwto work with the appli- cant or his designated representative to Insure that their plan of augmentation is fair to all parties concerned. . Mrs. Lee July 15, 1974 Page 2 Thank you for the opportunity to review this revised rehabilitation plan and the applicant's plan'tf augmentation.

A vote of "Aye" by Watson, Anderson, Heitman, Rothe and Elliott. Motion carried. APPLICANT: State Highway Dept. (Roland Miller) CASE NUMBER: SUP #261 Tape 545 LOCATION: Pt SE4 SW4 Sec 30 T3 R66 SUBJECT: Gravel Pit APPEARANCE: Joe Intermill , State Highway Dept. DISCUSSION: Mr. Intermill stated this was owned by Roland Miller; pit lays in and adjacent to a present gravel pit in the area. Propose to lower and extend the southeast portion of the present pit about five to six feet. Feel there is about 4,000 cubic yards of material available. Processed through a screening plant and then stockpiled to be hauled away as needed. Used for sanding of roads in the winter. Hard to determine length of time this will be used. Will not go below present water table. Mr. Anderson looked over the site. Could see no problems. About 4/10 of an acre. Weld County Planning staff recommends approval for the following reasons: (1 ) Platteville has no objections; (2) Agrees with Weld County Comprehensive Plan in extracting our natural resources and supplements H.B. 1529 regarding sand and gravel extraction; (3) Due to the fact that this is a State Highway Dept. site, the extraction and reclamation standards are included within the cover letter. Subject to: (1 ) Reclamation com- mencing immediately after extraction; (2) Extraction beginning within one years' time from date of approval by the Board of County Commissioners and limited to the use of the State Highway Dept. This permit is to terminate at the end of the State Highway Dept. 's use; (3) Approval of revised legal description being submitted; (4) Extraction limited to plans submitted; 1054 t (5) County Engineer' s agreement concerning roads. Mr. Intermill stated that the only thing that might cause a problem would be the removal to begin within one year. Really can't tell how much they will use and how soon they will have to begin operation of actual digging. No real big problem. RESOLUTION: Be it therefore resolved to recommend to the Board of County Commissioners approval subject to Planning staff recommendations. Motion by Mr. Anderson, seconded by Mr. Rothe. ANNOUNCEMENT: Voting membership will now be Watson, Nix, Anderson, Weigand and Heitman. VOTE: A vote of "Aye" by Watson, Nix, Anderson, Weigand and Heitman. APPLICANT: State Highway Dept. (Ralph Janitell ) CASE NUMBER: SUP #262 Tape 545 SUBJECT: Gravel Pit LOCATION: Pt W1 Sec 1 T8 R61 (Legal needs to be changed to R61 not R66) APPEARANCE: Mr. Joe Intermill DISCUSSION: About 9 miles east and 3 north of Briggsdale. Owned by Ralph Janitell , about 20 acres. Will strip and stockpile the overburden on this pit. As they go, will reclaim area. No set time tables. Mr. Weigand's letter states that he could see no problems. Needs geological information, EPA qualifications and Health Dept. recommendations. Pictures submitted with the letter were not there. No drainage problems. Access road there already. Weld County Planning staff recommends approval for the following reasons: (1 ) Agrees with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan in the ex- tracting of our natural resources and supplements H.B. 1529 regarding sand and gravel extraction; (2) Due to the fact that this is a State Highway Dept. site, the extraction and reclamation standards are included within the cover letter. Subject to: (1 ) Reclamation commencing immediately after extraction; (2) Extraction beginning within one years' time from date of approval by the Board of County Commissioners and limited to the use of the State Highway Dept. This permit is to terminate at the end of State Highway Dept. 's use; (3) Approval of the revised legal description be submitted; (4) Extraction limited to plans submitted; (5) County Engineer's agreement concerning roads. RESOLUTION: Be it therefore resolved to recommend to the Board of County Commissioners approval subject to Planning staff recommendations. Motion by Mr. Weigand, seconded by Mr. Nix. A vote of "Aye" by Watson, Nix, Anderson, Weigand and Heitman. Motion carried. APPLICANT: Earl C. Rice CASE NUMBER: CUP #3 Tape 545 DISCUSSION: Mrs. Rice requested this be removed from the agenda today and re- scheduled. Mr. Fortner stated he had talked with her and would like a little more information before making recommendations. Mr. Elliott in- spected this site. Did not see the necessity for another house. To be reset on August 6th agenda. APPLICANT: Harold Baumgartner (Platte Gravel ) CASE NUMBER: SUP #259 Tape 545 & 546 SUBJECT: Gravel Pit LOCATION: Pt of Sections 9 & 17 T2 R68 APPEARANCE: Mr. Roman Bockus, Planning Consultant; Mr. Harold Baumgartner DISCUSSION: Since the last meeting, there has been a field trip and he (Mr. Bockus) has made changes in the plans and submitted a water augmentation plan. Submitted an addendum to the augmentation plan. Has 193 acre feet of water in the Smith & Emmons Ditch; also, 482 acre feet of water in the Plumb and Daily Ditch; allocated 100 acre feet to the Colorado Water 1055 Conservancy District. Submitted amended Rehabilitation plan. Believe they are in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. Will utilize all the excess overburden as possible. Originally stated that there would be about 75 persons, however, it should have been 175 persons. Mr. Bockus stated that he had contacted the State Engineer's Office but had no final answer as of yet. Mrs. Lee stated that there were two new letters received from (1 ) District 6 Water Users; (2) St. Vrain Left Hand Water Conservancy District. Read them into the record. They basically are not opposed to the gravel operation; they would like an agreement between District 6 Water Users and the applicant. Mrs. Lee read both letters into the record. Planning staff recommends approval for following reasons: (1 ) Agrees with Weld County Comprehensive Plan and Weld County Zoning Regulations in extracting our natural resources; (2) It agrees with H.B. 1529 in the mining of sand and gravel ; (3) The reclamation plan has been revised and accepted by the Planning staff. SUBJECT TO: (1 ) Agreements being reached between the applicant and the District 6 Water Users; (2) Ex- traction beginning within one year from date of approval by the Board of County Commissioners and limited to the PUD as submitted. Mr. Heitman wanted to know why, if the augmentation plans were approved by the State Engineer's Office, we should be involved with District 6 Water Users. They should be concerned with the State Office, not the applicant. The people that cause the loss of water are obligated to correct the situation. Until the State Engineer gets better regulations , we have to rely on the augmentation plans. Following staff recommendations, the parcels will be 50 acres and 150 acres instead of 93 and 215. Will go about 27' deep, making it about 12' to 20' below the Boulder Creek bed. It is located partially in the flood plain as noted in the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. They are going to dike the Boulder Creek on both sides to keep it as is. RESOLUTION: Be it therefore resolved to recommend approval to the Board of County Commissioners subject to Planning staff recommendations with the exception of Item #1 under Subject To's; change to read approval of the State Water Conservation Board. Motion by Mr. Heitman, seconded by Mr. Nix. A vote of "Aye" by Watson, Nix, Anderson, Weigand and Heitman. Motion carried. APPLICANT: Golden Harvest Ranch, Inc. CASE NUMBER: CUP #5 Tape 546 SUBJECT: Boys Ranch LOCATION: Pt NEi Sec 5 T9 R62 APPEARANCE: Mr. & Mrs. Mount; Mr. & Mrs. Orr, Land owner; and Lee Steele, President of the Board DISCUSSION: Mr. Steele presented their plans for a boys ranch located about nine miles north of Briggsdale. Started making their plans about 12 years ago. Golden Harvest, as it is proposed, will be part of a national corporation entitled "American Youth Ranches". It is joining with Boys' World in California which has been in operation for about eight years. There are some "L" shaped buildings which will be used for staff housing. They are already on the property and the building inspector has inspected them prior to their moving them. North of there is the building that will serve as, a cafeteria and classroom areas. Round buildings will serve as cottages for the boys. These to be constructed in the future. Each will house approximately 12 boys and a set of house parents. There is also an old church building located on the premises. Mr. Steele stated they were concerned about odor control , expulsion, drainage, flash flooding, etc. 1056 I The lagoon will be located quite some distance fromlthe buildings. It will be a series type lagoon. The overall operation will have about 50 people. Access to the property is from the North presently, coming in off of Co. Rd. 110. Approximately 22 acres of wheat, rest in pasture. Most of the boys will be ten through fourteen. Most of them will have learning difficulties or possible home problems; they will not be de- linquent boys and will not be placed by the courts. Most will be placed by private individuals. There will be a school on the property having a certified teacher. They have dug footings and poured concrete walls according to Building Code specifications. However, there are no building permits issued at this time. They were under the impression everything was ok; not trying to be illegal . Water has been approved through a 50 gallon permit well located approximately 1500' from the east section line and 880' from the north section line; puts it over approximately between the two ponds in that area. It is the proposal to have a fire line run in front of the cabins. Do have plans to expand possibly to have a separate operation for girls. Will probably use pressure pump for the lake for fire protection. There are State regu- lations regarding fire safety; schooling; etc. , that will be met. Weld County Planning staff recommends approval for the following reasons: (1 ) It agrees with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan and Weld County Zoning Resolution in promoting agricultural uses of the land; (2) Health Dept. recommends approval . Subject to: (1 ) Lagoon location being shown on the plans; (2) Approval of fire protection plan by the County Engineer; (3) Construction beginning within one years' time from date of approval by the Board of County Commissioners and limited to the revised plans to be submitted. RESOLUTION: Be it therefore resolved to recommend approval to the Board of County Commissioners subject to Planning staff recommendations. Motion by Mr. Weigand, seconded by Mr. Anderson. A vote of "Aye" by Watson, Nix, Anderson, Weigand and Heitman. Motion carried. APPLICANT: David Farley CASE NUMBER: Z-248 Tape 546 SUBJECT: Zone Change "A" to "I" LOCATION: Pt SW4 SE4 Sec 18 T3 R66 APPEARANCE: Mr. Farley; Allen Jost, representing Platteville DISCUSSION: He needs the zoning because there is already a pipe yard there. Did not realize that his zoning was inadequate. Access from Railroad Right-of-Way. Mr. Jost stated that the Platteville Planning Commission had heard a request from Mr. Farley for multiple family dwellings. The Planning Commission, however, did not approve this type use, but stated they would recommend the Industrial use. This parcel at one time was in the city limits of Platteville, but has since been deannexed. There is some problem with the access. Not sure if it has been vacated yet. There is a right-of-way lease on the railroad property. Need to renegotiate a lease with the railroad regarding uses on the property. This was considered and left up to the Town of Platteville whether or not it should be a PUD or straight zoning. They stated they would support straight "I" zoning. Is located in their comprehensive planning area. Weld County Planning staff recommends this request be tabled for the following reasons: (1 ) Although Platteville has shown support for this application, there is a need for Mr. Farley to renegotiate with the Union Pacific Railroad. The new lease should eliminate the restriction to agricultural use and also should provide access to the property. Also, at this point, the lease does not describe the entire parcel ; it falls short. The parcel is about 450' deep. If he goes to an I-UD, he would first have to go before the Board of Adjustment for a variance on lot 1057 size. It was felt that it would he better for all if it would go through an I-UD instead of straight I zoning. This will give better control re- garding what could be put into the area. MOTION: By Mr. Heitman, to table and recommend the procedures be followed for an "I-UD". Seconded by Mr. Nix. A vote of "Aye" by Watson, Nix, Anderson, Weigand and Heitman. Motion carried. DISCUSSION: What the "I-UD" is and involves was explained to Mr. Farley. An "I-UD" will limit the uses; mainly as to what Mr. Farley wants. Any changes will have to be reviewed by the Board again. SUBJECT: Chalet West APPEARANCE: Doug Sears Tape 547 DISCUSSION: Mr. Fortner stated that Mr. Sears would like the Planning Commission to review the possiblity of changing the density. Overall density will not change. Mr. Sears felt that the PUD had created a white elephant as it is presently not marketable as is. Asphalt already installed is deteriorating from lack of use. The amendment to the PUD he is requesting is very minimal at this time. The PUD limits the use to duplexes, four-plexes and tri-plexes. About 39 total acres. Would like to take the 21 acres left and file for single-family units but keep the overall density of 6 units per acre. Put the additional units, which would be about 10 units per acre if allowed, against the mobile home court. That would make it a high density transition between the mobile home park and the single family to the north. Representing Reiker, Haney & Smith as the developers and owners of this property. Mr. Sears wanted the Board to authorize the Planning Director to give him a letter that states the amendment proposed warrants further pre- sentation. Replatting would not solve the problem. One paragraph of the PUD needs to be changed to allow single family units. Everything else is ok to do what they are seeking. Mr. Weigand stated that all they could do today is to authorize their staff that, due to the pre- sentation today, they would accept an application with this amendment; then he (Sears) follows through with the rest of the necessary steps to get this thing done. MOTION: By Mr. Heitman, To authorize staff to give Mr. Sears the letter re- quested. Seconded by Mr. Anderson. A roll call vote of "Aye" by Watson, Nix, Anderson, Weigand and Heitman. APPLICANT: Fred Spallone (Turnpike Construction) CASE NUMBER: SUP #249 Tape 547 DISCUSSION: Mrs. Lee stated that Mr. Spallone had voluntarily shut down his operation, prior to issuance of a "Cease and Desist" order. Also, the Board required a hydrology report, do they still want it. He is asking if he could provide a water augmentation plan instead. The main reason for the hydrology report is because of the changing of the river channel . It was asked if Mr. Spallone put the river channel back to the original flow, would the hydrology report still be required. In the beginning, even the water users felt that if the creek were channeled, it would be a benefit to the entire area. Mr. Spallone was simply trying to help. The main reason it didn't work out, is because he doesn't own enough property to continue channeling it on through. He can straighten a channel on his property as such, however, if any damage comes to anyone because of it, he would be fully liable. It was felt that they shouldn't have to spend a lot of money to have a hydrology report done. The main concern is what will happen upstream and downstream because of the change in river channel . If he can prove it some other way, (the elevation of the river and consequences of changing the river) the Board would probably accept it. 1058 _i Meeting adjourned.

APPLICANT: Fred Spallone (Turnpike Gravel ) CASE NUMBER: SUP #249 Tape 540 SUBJECT: Gravel Pit LOCATION: E' Sz SWq Sec 30 & Pt Sec 31 T2 R68 APPEARANCE: Fred Spallone; Bob Grogan, Engineer; John Houtchens, Attorney APPEARANCE AGAINST: John P. Donnelly, Attorney (representing several surrounding property owners); Marvin Swanson; Mr. & Mrs. Martin; Norman Johnson; Ken Dikke, District 6 Water Users Association; Mrs. O.W. Smith; Mr. Blake; Jack Hill , Godding, Daily, Plumb Ditch; Francis Gregerson; Dave Camenisch; Mrs, Gieblehous_e DISCUSSION: Plan to develop in three phases. First phase will be a new haul road out to Hwy 52 and closing the opening on County Road 1 . Second phase will be construction of two more pits and moving the crusher lo- cations. Third phase will be construction of another pit and the final rehabilitation will be cleaning up the area. Total acreage is about 300.906 acres. Mr. Houtchens stated that it was about the spring of 1973 when Mr. Spallone had contacted him and inquired about some land that had an existing sand and gravel operation there. Wanted to know if Weld County had any regulations regarding this. Mr. Houtchens stated they did and would send him the necessary forms. About the summer of 1973, H.B. 1529 was passed and there was a good deal of con- fusion surrounding how this Bill would apply to sand and gravel oper- ations and how the County's regulations would inter-relate. Mr. Houtchens asked the Planning staff to obtain an opinion either from the County Attorney or the State Attorney General 's Office so they would know how to proceed. He was told at that time that as long as Mr. Spallone continued operations at this site, since it had been in existence for a number of years, that regardless of what happened on the State level , he wouldn't 1040 need any County approval because it was a pre-existing use. Mr. Houtchens advised Mr. Spallone of this, and further advised him to contact the State Bureau of Mines and proceed to obtain whatever State permits he needed. They (the State) wrote Mr. Spallone a letter stating that they hadn't adopted procedures to implement this new House Bill ; but as soon as those procedures were adopted, he would be notified. Mr. Spallone also asked Mr. Houtchens about straightening the channel of the river on his property. Mr. Houtchens advised him that it might create some problems that wouldn't involve Weld County, but might involve water users and possibly the State Engineer's Office. The State Engineer's Office said advised Mr. Houtchens of general principles of water law and water law liability arising out of changing the channel of a river. Subsequently, Mr. Spallone was contacted by the Weld County Planning Office and advised that the problems between the new State Law and the County Zoning Regulations had been resolved and it was de- termined that the County still had the authority to grant land use permits for sand and gravel operations; it was questionable whether or not his operation still constituted pre-existing use and he should come forward and make application for a special use permit just to be sure. Mr. Spallone has taken these steps since that time. Mr. Houtchens stated that the neighbors in the area are basically concerned with what will happen to the natural drainage pattern. Mr. Spallone and his engineer (the County Engineer and the engineers from the State have looked at this property) and feel that, based on the advice they have, nothing has been or will by this plan be created that will cause a water hazard to any other adjoining properties. Planning staff recommends this be tabled for the following reasons: (1 ) Provide a hydrological study by a qualified engineer to determine if the proposed channelization of Boulder Creek will cause flooding up or down stream; (2) Provide augmentation plans for water loss due to evaporation from the services of the proposed lakes; we further recommend: (1 ) That they prepare a right-of-way deed of 20' on County Road 1 ; (2) Prepare right-of-way deed for 15' on State Highway 52 as requested by the Colorado Highway Dept. ; (3) Change cross-section of haul road across Boulder Creek to lower swale an additional 24 inches; (4) Add the 4,955 foot contour. Mr. Lorenson further stated that there was one other thing requested by the County Engineer. He felt that the finished road grade should be 6" above the existing finished grade. Mr. Lorenson asked the County Attorney representative regarding the 20' right-of-way. Mr. Hellewell stated that we could not legally require them to comply, but we can ask for dedication should the road need to be widened. Mr. John P. Donnelly, representing some of the residents who live adjacent to the gravel pit, directed some questions to the staff and also had some information they would like to make available. First, is the staff going to ask the inspector of Bureau of Mines to conduct a study of the operation and incorporate that study into their report. It' s in the Statute regarding Open Mining Operations. Mr. Donnelly felt that the inspector might have some valuable information to contribute. Mr. Hellewell stated that the Bureau was so backlogged, it might be 15 years before any thing could be accomplished. Mr. Lorenson stated that they had sent this application to the State Geological Survey and they, in essence, act as the Planning staff's consultant. In addition to that, it has to be approved by the Land Reclamation Board (a member of the Mine staff is on that Board). Flood control was the main concern. Mr. Donnelly wanted to know how much gravel had been mined prior to September of 1973. Mrs. Lee read a letter from Mr. Marvin Swanson stating that his father (the late Carl 1041 Swanson) had purchased a parcel of property in Section 31 , Weld County, Colorado; and since that time gravel has been removed from that property on several occasions. The letter was dated August 8, 1973. Mr. Donnelly stated that he has people living there for 30 years that state there has been no gravel operation there. Mr. Donnelly stated their principal con- cern is with the dike that is constructed across the south end of the property. They had a number of pictures showing flood conditions in 1969 and 1972 and what will happen to that area if the dike is allowed to re- main as is and proper precautions are not taken to allow for proper flood control projects, spillways, etc. , to relieve the pressure. It floods in a northerly direction and empties into Boulder Creek, and further south is Coal Creek; in times of heavy rainfall , Coal Creek overflows, because it can't handle the water, and flows northerly into the natural drainage of Boulder Creek. Mrs. Carol Martin showed her pictures of the flood in 1969 and the one in 1972. Mr. Donnelly stated that he understood that the purpose for the construction of the dike was because one of the accesses is out over a load limit bridge and have been requested not to use this bridge because their loads exceed the limit (Boulder County's bridge and it was their request to stop usage). So now they are coming out around the property to get access to a road and bridge that will handle the loads. Part of this is what the recommendation regarding lowering the haul road refers too. Tape 541 Mr. Donnelly stated that the thing they wanted was adequate planning so that with the 100 year high water mark, no flooding would occur. This dike they have put in has stopped the water and is impeding its flow. Would like to know what straightening the channel will do in case of a flood. Mr. Norman Johnson showed where his property was and stated the flood water took out his ditch last spring. The new canal he built will have no effect on flood waters; it will flood before it ever gets to it. Mr. Donnelly wanted the Planning Commission to really take a look at the impact of these structures (landfills, or whatever) on the water flow and potential floods. Second, if they don't have authority to operate, there ought to be a Cease and Desist Order issued. The County Attorney did not recommend this type of Order, the best would be a positive injunction. Mr. Ken Dikke, District 6 Water Users Association read a letter regarding their recommendations on this gravel pit. First, regarding the application of Turnpike Construction Co. , the depth of the proposed excavation is not indicated. It covers 100 plus acres, it is obvious that removal of a great amount of material could cause serious environmental impact on areas extending well beyond the site. There is no evidence that such an impact study has been made which could provide a suitable basis for the plans of evaluation that the Commission needs to judge the merits and demerits of this proposal . Secondly, the application does not show how the stream channel and normal flow will be maintained throughout the operation. Want to assure that all water rights downstream will be adequately protected during and after the operation. Further,it is not indicated how the flood waters or flood flows would be controlled. Significant changes in the channel will be required for effective mining operations. Straightening of the channel (and shortening) is indicated. This would increase the channel grade and increase the stream flow with the result that much of the energy, that is now absorbed by the meandering channel will then be concentrated in those reaches of the channel just below the site. This would cause appreciable change in the errosion pattern and could cause extensive damage to agricultural land, fences, roads, water control structures and so forth. The drawing for the application shows four 1042 . separate lakes to be formed. There is no showing depths or how the water surface elevations are to be controlled, (what effect will this have on ground water levels in adjacent areas; what about the increase in evapor- ation on those lakes that may affect normal standflow; who will have the continuing responsibility for an increase in liability that may be as- sociated with these lakes) . Mrs. 0. W. Smith - How much pumping did they intend to do, as it lowers well water levels; their property has eroded from the river channel about 10 feet so far; livestock is getting out because of this. Mrs. Lee read letter from Mr. Blake, Mining Department dated September 1973, addressed to Mr. Spallone. It basically states that no plans of implementation of provisions of House Bill 1529 had not been worked out yet. Mr. Spallone's letter of request for forms is on file in that office and until such time that they can proceed with the issuance of required permits, Mr. Spallone's letter of request will be his insurance against operating your property illegally. When the necessary forms are available, they will contact Mr. Spallone. Mrs. Smith stated that the level of the river has dropped considerably since the beginning of Mr. Spallone's operation . Jack Hill , Godding Ditch Co. , mainly concerned about their headgate being washed out with the straightening of the channel . Also concerned with a silt problem; who would be responsible for damage caused. Copy of letter Mr. Hill read submitted to file. John Lamar, owned 160 acres just north of this site. The first gravel operation on his property had a channel and a 70' bridge and he never had any trouble with it washing out a headgate. He had no objections to the operation proposed by Mr. Spallone. Dave Camenisch, representing Rural Ditch, submitted letter. Mrs. Lee read letter, basically concerned with: (1 ) Entire river and its course has been changed; in case of flood, it could by-pass the Rural Ditch headgate on either side and cause great damage and undue hardship to ditch stockholders. (2) Flood waters in the past have dumped into Boulder Creek; when this has happened, the water has flowed over its banks onto the flat lands to the east leaving the Boulder Creek not subject to much increase from this point on (just above their headgate). But since the river is now capable of carrying all of this water, the flood waters flow on down the Boulder Creek and they want to know who will be responsible if their ditch is eroded away by Boulder Creek. Not against gravel operations, only concerned with protecting their ditch and the ditch stockholders. Mr. Donnelly requested the Planning Commission to decide if this operation should be stopped and proceed with recommending to the Board of County Commissioners to issue a stop order. Mrs. Gieblehouse, wanted to know, while they are digging the gravel , would it affect the quality of the well water. Mr. Watson stated that this was one of the issues under consideration. MOTION: By Mr. Anderson, To table this and take a field trip to the site within seven days. Seconded by Mr. Rothe. A vote of "Aye" by Watson, Nix, Anderson, Heitman and Rothe. RESOLUTION: To recommend to the Board of County Commissioners that a "Cease and Desist Order" be issued until such time it can be determined to be in compliance. Motion by Mr. Nix, seconded by Mr. Heitman. A 1043 vote of "Aye" by Watson, Nix, Anderson, Heitman and Rothe. A unanimous vote of "Aye" . Motion carried. DISCUSSION: Mr. Houtchens would like the Board to understand that the gravel pit was not really in violation, that was just an assumption. APPLICANT: Harold Baumgartner (Platte Gravel ) CASE NUMBER: SUP #259 Tape 541 & 542 SUBJECT: Gravel Pit LOCATION: Pt of Sections 9 & 17 all in T2 R68 APPEARANCE: Mr. Roman Bockus, Planning Consultant; Jay Freese, Engineer DISCUSSION: There is no operation there presently. Property consists of 300 plus acres; lies sort of on both sides of Boulder Creek. Will be a wet pit operation. There will be five stages, each lasting approximately one year. Operation will conform to Weld County Zoning regulations and also the Colorado Open Mining Land and Reclamation Act of 1973. There will be three to six employees; operating hours to comply with regulations; all air and water pollution standards will be observed. Old top soil will be stored and stockpiled as needed. Reclamation plan presented. There will be two lakes, one approximately 215 acres and one about 93 acres. Diking will be replanted and they will preserve as much of the present vegetation as possible. Will be used for recreational uses. Mr. Bockus read from the Weld County Comprhensive Plan, Number VI , Item #6 page 50 and page 71 . Planning staff recommends this be tabled for the following reasons: (1 ) Inconsistancies between the stated plan and the map of the plan; (2) Inadequate recreational site plan; (3) Inadequate information pertaining to overburden and stockpiling. Mr. Roy Jost read further comments per- taining to: Inadequate access to the larger of the two lakes; no indi- cation of how stated recreation activities are planned or provided for; some confusion regarding the vegetation; concern regarding overburden storage plans; possible inadequate width of drainage corridor of Boulder Creek (diked on both sides); possible inadequacy of wildlife cover, shore- lines and accesses to area; and it is recommended that an augmentation plan concerning how the river will be compensated for the evaporative losses of the two lakes be presented. Mr. Dikke from the District 6 Water Users Association brought up the same questions brought up earlier concerning Turnpike Construction. Basically concerned with flooding possibilities and protecting the users of the ditch waters. Also loss by evaporation. They figure they would lose 900 acre feet of water on 300 acres of land. It was asked if a fund of some type could be set up where a set amount would be charged per ton of gravel extracted and this money in turn would be used for maintenance of the area in later years. Mr. Freese stated that actually, the widening and straightening of a stream tends to make it more capable of handling flooding possibilities instead of a meandering stream that tends to erode its banks. He further felt that this project would help the flood problems. Felt that they could widen Boulder Creek in that area and make it an adequate depth to aid in preventing floods. Mr. Bockus stated he could see no real conflict with the staff recom- mendations. Mr. Lorenson stated that the plans did not need to be quite as detailed as mentioned, but they should leave enough ground to do some- thing with. Be able to leave more than just a 10' path around the lakes, etc. The State Reclamation Board will require bonding before this project is started. Mr. Milton Nelson, Boulder Creek District 6 Water Users Association, stated concern regarding time involved for the water to reach the headgates. The more water being used upstream, the longer it would take to reach the users downstream. 1044 , MOTION: By Mr. Nix, To table this matter; take a field trip within 7 days. Seconded by Mr. Rothe. A vote of "Aye" by Watson, Nix, Anderson and Rothe. A vote of "No" by Heitman. Motion carried. DISCUSSION: Some discussion regarding the requirement of water augmentation plans. State is very strict regarding these plans. Also, need a more detailed reclamation plan. Notify both gravel operations as to date of field trip. APPLICANT: Albert T. Watada (Halliburton Services) CASE NUMBER: Z-238 Tape 542 SUBJECT: Zone Change "A" to "C-UD" (Slight change in PUD) LOCATION: Pt WZ NW4 NW4 Sec 20 T1 R66 APPEARANCE: Halliburton Services ' representatives; Harry Figge; Mr. Pratt DISCUSSION: Mr. Figge stated that the south four acres is the property in question. This was submitted in the PUD for future expansion. However, it turned out that they (Halliburton Services) needed room sooner than expected. This is why they need to develop the four acres now. Mr. Lorenson stated that it does meet all requirements as far as setback and allowed uses were concerned. Staff recommends approval . These new • plans will be incorporated into the PUD. MOTION: By Mr. Heitman, To approve the building permit issuance and the in- corporation of the four acre development plans into the PUD. Seconded by Mr. Anderson. A vote of "Aye" by Watson, Nix, Anderson and Heitman. SUBJECT: Irving Ferrell , Jr. Tape 542 DISCUSSION: Mr. Lorenson summarized the situation by stating that the office had received information regarding Mr. Ferrell ' s sale of fertilizer from his property where there is a large manure pile. A letter of violation was sent to Mr. Ferrell as this is not a use allowed in an "I" zone. The Ferrill 's were under the impression that this use (stockpiling of fertilizer) was allowed. Their attorney, Mr. Dinner, has since been into the office regarding this matter. Mr. Ferrell is requesting that he not be made to move this pile until the spring when he will be getting rid of it anyway. Previous location had been in the County (101 - 8th Street) and had been there since 1961 , prior to zoning. It was then annexed into the city of Greeley. Mr. Ferrell had checked with the Planning Office regarding the zoning. Has building permits for sheds to be remodeled. Got' a letter from the attorney's office stating they were legal . Mr. Ferrell has been selling fertilizer for several years. If he's not legal , he'll clean it up and sell out as soon as he can. He has about 5,000 tons stockpiled. It would take about a year to clear the ground. Mr. Hellewell informed the Board they could either recommend to the Board of County Commissioners that he cease operation immediately, or give them the year requested. Mr. Hellerick, Attorney, also checked this property for the zoning, but did not find out what uses were allowed. No motion is needed at this time as they still have a few days before their allowed time (by the violation letter) is up. SUBJECT: Change of Meeting Date Tape 543 DISCUSSION: There has been some discussion regarding changing the meeting date from the first Monday and third Tuesday as Monday sometimes is a busy day for several members of the Commission and the staff. MOTION: By Mr. Nix, To change the meeting dates to the first and third Tuesdays of every month. Seconded by Mr. Anderson. A vote of "Aye" by Watson, Nix, Anderson and Heitman. Motion carried. 1045 SUBJECT: SUP Application Lead Time Tape 543 DISCUSSION: There has been some trouble regarding the lead time utilized in processing applications. There has not been enough time for notification of certain State agencies in several instances. There also has not been enough time for their response before the meeting date. It's difficult to write staff comments and discuss them with the applicant(s) . It is recommended we allow 30 days lead time on all cases (SUP, Zone Changes, etc. ) . This will allow sufficient time for return input plus comply with State regulations. Planning Commission has the right to set reasonable procedures outside anything else. Procedure by policy has to be approved by the Planning Commission, the staff can't just do it on their own. MOTION: By Mr. Heitman, To approve a 30 day pre-submittal time on all appli- cations. Seconded by Mr. Nix. A vote of "Aye" by Watson, Nix, Anderson and Heitman. Motion carried. SUBJECT: George Nordon, Zoning Violation Tape 543 LOCATION: Lot 2 Schmidts Estates Subdivision DISCUSSION: Mr. Watson read letter from Mr. Kavalec, Zoning Inspector, regarding the violation of storage of heavy equipment in an agricultural zone. Mr. Nordon has been notified that he was in violation and had ten days to comply with the zoning regulations. Since he was notified, Mr. Nordon has moved in more equipment and does not appear to be complying. RESOLUTION: Be it therefore resolved to recommend to the Board of County Commissioners that legal action be taken against Mr. George Nordon. Motion by Mr. Nix, seconded by Mr. Anderson. A vote of "Aye" by Watson, Nix, Anderson and Heitman. Meeting adjourned. Respectfully submitted, nda Jose, Secr a1y APPLICANT : John J .

Dated 6/12/74 APPLICANT : Simpson Farms Co . FILE NUMBER : SUP #245 RESOLUTION : Be it therefore resolved by the Board of County Commissioners to grant site location of a hog farm operation subject to Planning Commission recommendations . Dated 6/12/74 1046 le 18 . COMMENTS : 1 . The stated final product of the Platte Sand and Gravel Corporation operation is a recreation site . a . The development plan states that the reclaimed site will be used for the following recreational activi - ties : Fishing , hunting , hiking , picnicking and boating ( rowboats and sailboats ) . b . The map of the plan indicates inadequate access to the larger of the two lakes , nor are there any indi - cations of how the stated recreation activities are planned or provided for . For example , a small 14 foot sailboat generally requires a launching ramp as well as road access to a body of water . A minimum trail width of 50 feet is recommended by the Colorado Trails Council for trail purposes . A ten foot corridor is all that is indicated along Boulder Creek and around the lake perimeter . 2 . The development plan states that all vegetation will be preserved along the river and property lines to provide cover and habitat for wildlife . a . The map of the plan indicates that much of the tree and shrub cover along Boulder Creek will be elimi - nated , and that remaining areas of tree and shrub cover will be utilized for stockpiling overburden . 3 . The mining plan states that topsoil will be saved and utilized in reclamation upon completion of operation . The map of the plan indicates the stockpile area to be approximately 10 acres in size . Topsoil will contain approximately 150 acre feet of soil if top 16 inches is saved for reclamation purposes . This will cover the entire stockpile area with 15 feet of material . Re- maining overburden , if depth to gravel is as little as two feet , will cover this same ten acres with an addi - tional 45 feet of soil . a . It is suggested that this site is inadequate for over- burden storage for the entire operation . b . The extraction plan states intention to excavate the site in stages . It is recommended that the overburden from any stage of excavation be stored on the site of the next stage of excavation . Upon completion of mineral extraction of any stage , the stored overburden can be used for the reclamation of that site . This will expedite reclamation and minimize recovery time for the entire site , precluding the possibility of raw land being exposed until completion of the entire operation . page 3 18 . COMMENTS : (( tinued ) It is recommended that an augmentation plan concerning how the river will be compensated for the evaporative losses of the two lakes .

The matter has been reviewed by Platte Gravel and I wish to advise you that Bridge 201/2/15A will be utilized by Platte Gravel but the other bridges will not.

Harold Nelson Distrrcrl It is our understanding that upon completion of the gravel mining in the South one-quarter of Section 9, the Northwest one-quarter of Joe Secwald Section 16, and the Northeast one-quarter of Section 17, all in Town- Dri :iar at Large ship 2 North, Range 68 West, there will be approximately 308 acres of .,.t Lrrtrr open water surface area. This open water surface area will consume much more water than was historically consumed by the lands when in an agricultural or pasture state. Miller, Ruyle The Last Chance irrigation ditch, located in the St. Vrain & Left Hand Steinmark and Shade David J.Miller Water Conservancy District, receives a significant portion of the water it diverts from the St. Vrain River from Boulder Creek.

Therefore, before approving this request for Special Use Permit, please send a copy of their water augmentation plan to the Conservancy District for review.

Cinea Executive Director Enc vls June 14, 1974 Mr. Burman Lorenson Planning Director Weld County Services Building 922 9th Street Greeley, Colorado 80631 RE: Platte Gravel Corporation Agricultural Unit Development Plan Dear Sir: As Consulting Engineer for the District 6 Water Users Association, I was directed to review the Platte Gravel Corporation Agricultural Unit Development Plan to determine the effect it will have on the District 6 Water Users. The plan envisions mining for gravel in part of the Northeast one-quarter of Section 17, the Northwest one-quarter of Section 16, and the Southeast one-qaurter of the Southwest one-quarter of Section 9, all in Township 2 North, Range 68 West. The total area under which the mining operations will be conducted is approximately 318 acres. The plan envisions mining the above described property over a five year period. Upon completion of the mining operation, there will be in existence two lakes with a total of approximately 308 acres of open water surface area. With estab- lishment of these lakes, the area would be consumptively using much more water than it has historically consumptively used in its present state, which is basically pasture land. No plan of augmentation has been submitted in the Agricultural Unit Development Plan concerning how the river will be compensated for the evaporative losses of the two lakes, or how return flows which have historically flowed to this property will be returned to the river. As this plan is currently envisioned, Last Chance Ditch, which has an appropria- tion for approximately 96.94 second-feet of water in Water District 5 ( in the St. Vrain & Left Hand Water Conservancy District) would be damaged to the extent of reduced flows available for appropriation unless an augmentation plan is presented to augment the river the additional depletions that will be caused by the lakes. In District 6, basically all members of the Water Users Association will be affected in that less water will be available for donwstream calls, thus re- quiring more Coal Creek, South Boulder Creek, and Boulder Creek water to be released downstream to meet the senior calls on the South Platte River. ti Mr. Lorenson June 14, 1974 Page 2 Based on the above described data, the District 6 Water Users request that a plan of augmentation be submitted to District 6 Water Users for their approval in order to insure that the river is adequately compensated for the increased losses that will accrue from this project.

June 11, 1974 Mr. Burman Lorenson, Planning Director Weld County Planning Commission Weld County Services Building Greeley, Colorado 80631 Dear Mr. Lorenson: We have reviewed the material sent to the Longmont Soil Conservation District on the application of Mr. Harold Baumgartner for a Special Use Permit to mine gravel in an agricultural area. This area consists of good agricultural land classified as Capability Class II and III with Class IV land following Boulder Creek (see attached map). While we recognize the need for gravel, we feel that this supply can be served by mining poorer capability land, reserving the good agricultural land to serve present and future food and fiber needs. Also, the reservoirs left behind after the gravel mining operations will impound large amounts of water with a tremendous amount of evaporation potential, and this water will have to be made up by downstream water users. Should you wish additional information from this group, please feel free to contact us.

The following symbols are shown on your map: Symbol or Site Name Generalized Descriptions (Detailed descriptions are available in your Soil Conservation Service office.) 29B-AB Bankard loam This is a shallow soil with medium to moderately light textured surface soils grading into sand and gravel mixtures within 6 to 18 inches. These soils are subject to overflow. Water intake is medium to rapid. Water holding capacity is poor. 34-AB Winn loam This is a deep, poorly drained soil with a medium textured surface and subsoil. The soil is mottled from 10 inches downward and may or may not have a water table within 60 inches. The soil is usually moderately saline. Careful management is needed to keep these soils from becoming too wet to cultivate and farm. 34P-AB Wet loamy soils This is a moderately shallow, poorly drained soil with a medium textured surface and subsoil. Depth to sand and/or gravel is 20 to 40 inches. The soil is mottled from 10 inches downward and may or 'may not have a water table within 60 inches. The soil is usually moderately saline. Careful manage- ment is needed to keep these soils from becoming too wet to cultivate and farm. 51B-A Vona sandy loam This is a deep, well drained soil with a moderately light textured surface and subsoil. The subsoil is weakly developed. Water intake is medium to rapid. Water holding capacity is poorto fair. Erosion hazard from both wind and water is moderate. Organic matter maintenance is important. Slope is 0-1%. 51B-B Vona sandy loam Same soil as described above, except the slope is 1 to 3 percent. 51B-C Vona sandy loam Same soil as described above, except the slope is 3 to 5 percent. 4 CO-CONS-2 CAPABILITY GROUPS OF SOILS Capability classification is the grouping of soils to show, in a general way, their suitability for most kinds of farming. It is a practical classification based on limitations of the soils. the risk of damage when they are used, and the way they respond to treatment. The soils are classified according to degree and kind of permanent limitation, but without consideration of major and generally expensive landforming that would change the slope, depth, or other characteristics of the soils; and without consideration of possible but unlikely major reclamation projects. Roman numerals are used to show the 8 broad Capability Classes and letters follow the class numeral to indicate the principal problem or hazard. Classes and sub-classes used are as follows: Class I - Few or no limitations that restrict choice of crops or require conservation measures. Class II - Some limitations that reduce the choice of crops or require moderate conservation measures. - Class III - Severe limitations that reduce choice of crops or require special conservation practices or both. Class IV - Very severe limitations that restrict the choice of crops , require very careful management, or both. Class V - Not suited for cultivation but has few or no hazards when used for pasture, range, woodland or wildlife. Class VI - Not suited for cultivation. Severe limitations. Suited for range, pasture, woodland or wildlife with careful management and needed conservation practices. - Class VII - Not suited for cultivation. Very severe limitations. Suited for range, woodland or wildlife uses if carefully managed. Usually cannot apply physical practices such as pitting, furrowing, seeding, etc. Class VIII - Not suited for cultivation, range, pasture or woodland. Suited only for recreation, wildlife, water supply or esthetic purposes. e - Erosion by wind or water is the major problem. w - Excessive water such as wetness, overflow, or high water table. s - Major problem is in the soil. It may be too shallow, too heavy, stony, low in fertility, salty, alkaline or have low moisture capacity. c - Climate is the major hazard. Growing season may be very short, there is a shortage of rainfall or both. Examples: IIIe - Class III land where erosion is the major hazard. IVc - Class IV land where the climate is the major problem. July 5, 1974 Suite 300 1350 Chambers Road Aurora, Colorado Weld County Planning Commission Board of County Commissioners Gentlemen: The Platte Gravel Corporation (also known as Adams Transit Mix) which employes 180 people and is located two miles south of Fort Lupton on Highway #85 in Weld County has applied for an Agricultural Unit Development Plan--sand and gravel mining in 5 1/4 of Sec 9 , the NW 1/4 of Sec 16 , and the NE 1/4 of Sec 17 all in TZN, R68W and consisting of approximately 318 acres f. Since the original hearing before the Planning Commission on June 18th, we have incorporated your staff ' s recommendation and suggestions into our plans although they were over and above of what your present zoning regulations require. We sincerely hope that this meets your favorable consideration and approval. We have also reviewed and considered other letters and comments as submitted to you by other agencies expressing interest in our proposed plans. The following are our comments to the various letters received by us from your planning staff: 1. Letter dated May 17, 1974 from Soil Conservation Service and signed by Mr. James A. Crabb, Soil Scientist, plainly states that our proposed min- ing area is subject to periodic flooding and is better suited for commercial sand and gravel pro- duction, than agricultural uses. 2 . Letter dated June 11, from Longmont Soil Conser- vation District contradicts itself which becomes obvious by careful comparison of page 1 versus pages 2 and 3. Page 1 of the letter recommends that agricultural uses should be continued on our property, but pages 2 and 3 that contain scientific soil analy- sis--description, indicate to us the extreme unsuitability of soils for agricultural uses. N. Weld County Plann--y Commission July 5, 1974 page 2 3. Letter dated June 14 , from Rocky Mountain Consult- ants Inc. , representing District 6 Water Users Association implies a possible larger consumptive use of water as a result of our plans, than pre- sently exists. Enlarging the land areas in our Rehabilitation Plan as we have done, following your staff' s recommendations , the surface water area has been reduced to approximately 200 acres ± with a sub- sequent reduction of possible evaporation losses. 4 . Letter dated June 14th, from St. Vrain & Left Hand Water Conservancy District. (Some comments apply as in item 3. ) Following, we are including our water rights on subject property that in our opinion are more than adequate to augment any water losses if and when they occur as a result of our plan. A. 100 acre foot units of water as allotted by the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy Dis- trict. B. Five (5) shares of the capital stock of the Plumb & Dailey Ditch Co. C. One and one-half (1 1/2) shares of capital stock of the Smith and Emmons Ditch Co. In closing we like to note that our proposed operation and plans are in full compliance to the Weld County Zoning Resolution and also in full compliance and complimentary to the Weld County Comprehensive Plan as published and adopted by the Planning Com- mission and the Board of County Commissioners in September, 1973.

Without a geologic report and detailed plans for rehabilitation we can not fully evaluate the project. We suggest that precautions be taken to insure that any alteration of the flood plain does not adversely effect upstream or downstream properties.

Baumgartner Sox 8 Brighton, Colorado 80601 This is in reply to your request for a soil evaluation for the SEA SWW Sec. 9; Nktk Sec. 16; and part of the Blk Sec. 17, all in T2N , 168W, Weld County, Colorado. Evaluation is to determine the suitability of the area for extraction of commercial gravel. Most of this area is along the flood plain between Boulder and Idaho Creeks. The soils are shallow to malerately deep (10-40 inches) to sand and gravel and being on the flood plain have a shallow watertable and are subject to flooding. The area is probably better suited for commercial sand and gravel than for agriculture, however, there is always the hazard of pollution to both Boulder and Idaho Creeks from the excavation process. .Tames A.
