Subject: Duckworth Gravel Pit south of WCR 20.5
Jacqueline and Anne,
I have reviewed the AmFHDP-404 map and compared it to the updated maps
submitted by Anne showing the removal of the berms along the south side of
WCR 20 . 5 that were partly in the future ROW. This change will not require
another amendment to the AmFHDP-404 . The removal of the berms will make
the situation better.
Anne I will make copies of the three prints and mail them back to you at
the address on your business card.
Please contact me if you have any questions .
Best regards,
Don Dunker, P.E.

RE: Response to Duckworth USR-1455 County Commissioner Conditions of Approval
Dear Jacqueline:
This letter is to explain how we have satisfied all of the Conditions of Approval for USR-1455 that
are required to be addressed prior to recording the final plat. Below you will find a listing of each
condition followed by an explanation of how we have satisfied the condition.
1.A. The applicant shall address the concerns of the Weld County Sheriff's Office, as
outlined in the referral dated January 9,2004. Evidence of approval shall be submitted to
the Department of Planning Services.
Response: Three concerns were raised in the January 9, 2004 Sheriff's Office correspondence
(See Exhibit A), that are addressed as follows:
1. No regular trucking activities are planned for the Duckworth site, as all mined material will be
conveyed via a covered conveyor bridge across Weld County Road 20.5 to Lafarge's existing
Cottonwood Pit. However, if any trucks do access the site to remove material they will, per
company policy, be required to tarp loads to reduce the likelihood of vehicle damage or material
escape.
2. In order to minimize the transport of foreign materials via trucks and other vehicles leaving the
site, approximately 100-200 feet of cobble clean-off pad will be installed at the entrance.
3. Lafarge appreciates the sheriff's office offer of training through the program," Crime Prevention
through Environmental Design" .We may contact them as this project prepares for construction to
take advantage of the opportunity.
1.B. The applicant shall address the concerns of the Mountain View Fire Protection
District, as outlined in the referral dated December 18,2003. Evidence of approval shall be
submitted to the Department of Planning Services.
Response: The Mountain View Fire Protection District had no objections to the Special Use
Permit application (See Exhibit B). Lafarge will abide by all Uniform Fire Code rules and
regulations.
1.C. The applicant shall address the concerns of the Town of Frederick, as outlined in the
referral dated January 6, 2004
Lafarge incorporated many of the Town of Frederick's comments into our landscape plan,
including the use of vegetated berms and tree preservation. Final reclamation does incorporate
provisions for wildlife habitat in conjunction with possible water storage. Regarding community
issue resolution throughout the life of the mining operation, this site, as with all Lafarge mining
operations, will be posted at the entrance with site identification information. Large land
management staff will be available to answer any concerns that may arise.
1.D. The applicant shall contact the State of Colorado, Division of Wildlife, regarding any
concerns it may have. Evidence of approval shall be submitted to the Department of
Planning Services

MEMORANDUM
To: Jacqueline Hatc
From: Dave Tuttle
Date: January 9, 2004
Subject: USR-1455
The sheriffs office recommends the following improvements for this gravel pit
operation:
1. The sheriff's office requests that gravel trucks transporting materials out of the
area on county roads assure that their loads are covered, thus reducing loose
materials on the roadway and the amount of damage to vehicles.
2. The Sheriffs Office also requests that gravel trucks and other vehicles leaving
the site do not bring foreign materials on to the roadways on their tires. This
may be accomplished by paving a short distance prior to entering the public
roadway.
3. The sheriff's office would be willing to provide a program entitled Crime
Prevention through Environmental Design to the developer. This program
reduces the likelihood of criminal activity at a specific location by
"hardening"it to crime.
•
The Sheriff's Office lacks the ability to absorb any additional service demand without the
resources recommended in the multi-year plan provided to the Board of County
Commissioners or as indicated by growth not considered at the time the plan was
developed. I have no other comments on this proposal.

Dear Ms,Hatch:
I have reviewed the submitted material pertaining to the Special Use Permit for mining in the
Agricultural Zone District north of and adjacent to Weld County Road 203, approximately Y.
mile west of Weld County Road 7 (Case Number: USR-1455, Case Name: Mineral Reserves
Inc./Lafarge West)- The Fire District has no objections to the project if the requirements of the
District can be met.
Weld County has ratified the 1994 Edition of the Uniform Fire Code, within the territorial
boundaries of the Fire District and the activities of the gravel operation/batch plant will be
covered by this Code. The principal applications of the Code to a this type of operation will be
for tank installations for flammable or combustible liquids, fueling operations, and any use of
hazardous materials.
Tanks installed for flammable or combustible liquid storage or dispensing, either temporary or
permanent, need to be installed in accordance with the requirements of the Uniform Fire Code
and plans for the installation must be reviewed and approved by the Fire District prior to
installation.
We appreciate being involved in the planning process. Should you have any questions, please
contact me at 303-772-0710.

Dear Mr. Beane:
Based on the authority conferred to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) by the
Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA), as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), the Service
reviewed the Preble's meadow jumping mouse, Zapus hudsonius preblei (Preble's), habitat
assessment report submitted with your letter of January 23, 2003. This report regards the
proposed site plan review for the Duckworth Pit on Idaho Creek in Weld County, Colorado.
This project, as proposed, may disturb riparian habitats.
Based on the information provided, and given your compliance with the Preble's survey
guidelines, the Service finds the report acceptable and aarees that a population of Preble's is not
likely to be present within the subject area. Thus, the Service concludes that the proposed project
on this site should not have direct adverse affects to Preble's. Should Preble's populations exist
downstream from the site, actions on the site that result in significant modifications of Preble's
habitat downstream (for example, through alteration of existing flow regimes, or sedimentation)
may be subject to provisions of the ESA.
If the Service can be of further assistance, please contact Barbara Spagnuolo of my staff at (303)
275-2370.

Area IC-1A(Idaho Creek Wetland) - Non-jurisdictional Wetland Areas IC-LB,IC-1C,
SE-I and 1, 2,3 and 4
Corps Pile No. 200380502
Dear Ms. Janzen:
I have reviewed this project located in the NE r/4 of Section 16,T2N, R68W,Weld County,
Colorado on behalf of Lafarge North America Inc. This review was in accordance with Section 404 of
the Clean Water Act under which the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regulates the discharge of dredged
and fill material,and any excavation activities associated with a dredged and fill project,into waters of
the United States. Waters of the United States include ephemeral, intermittent and perennial streams,
their surface connected wetlands and adjacent wetlands and certain lakes,ponds, irrigation and drainage
ditches that have a nexus to interstate commerce,Under the authority of the Clean Water Act,a
preliminary Jurisdictional Determination has determined that wetland area IC-I A(Idaho Creek Wetland)
maybe waters of the U.S.
If a proposed activity requires work within the above-described waters of the U.S.,a proponent
of the project should notify this office for proper Department of the Army permits. This jurisdictional
delineation is valid for a period of five years from the date of this letter unless new information warrants
revision of the determination before the expiration date.
Based upon the ruling by the Supreme Court in the matter of Solid Wnate Agency ofNnrtl,en,
rook Crnmty v TT S Army Carp;of Fngjnerra,No.99-1178 (January 9,2001),the Department of the
Army's(DA) regulatory authority over isolated,non-navigable, intrastate waters has been eliminated if
the sole nexus to interstate commerce was use of the waters by migratory birds. It is apparent under the
ruling above that the DA does not have the authority to regulate work in wetlands 1,2,3 and 4. These
wetlands are not waters of the U.S. and therefore non-jurisdictional. No permit or other authorization by
the DA is required for work in these Wetlands.
Wetland area SE-1 does not flow to an interstate water. The wetlands at IC-1B and IC-1C site
were created by man-induced irrigation and would revert to uplands if the irrigation activity were to be
cut off. In that regard,these wetlands are not waters of the U.S.pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act. A Department of the Army Permit will not be required for any work in these wetlands.
JUL=13-2007 07:17 From:TRI LAKES 3039790602 To:3036574037 P.3'3
se
Although a DA permit will not be required for work in wetlands S&1,IC-1B,JC-IC or wetlands
1, 2,3 and 4,this does not eliminate the requirement that you obtain any other applicable Federal,state,
tribal or local permits as required.
Our office considers the August 2003 wetlands delineation report and map for this project
accurate and acceptable.
If you have any questions concerning this matter,please call me at(303)979-4120 and reference

Good morning Mr. Brown,
That is correct. I would request that you apply for a Weld County
Right-of-Way permit for your operations when you get closure to the date
of construction. Weld County Right-of-Way permits have a 90 day time
period in which you must start work on the project to be completed
within the Weld County Right-of-Way. Please don' t hesitate to call me
if you need any further assistance.

Subject: Right of Way Crossing Permit
Good Morning Ms. Jackson,
This e-mail is to confirm our telephone conversation last week. Lafarge
is
completing the conditions of approval for the Duckworth USR # 1455 ( The
case Planner is Jacqueline Hatch) . One of the conditions of approval
requires that we obtain a utility right of way crossing permit for a
conveyor installation prior to recording the plat. As we discussed,
Lafarge will not be constructing the conveyor until next spring at the
earliest. We understand that Weld County Public Works requires that a
right
of way crossing permit be obtained no sooner than 90 days prior to
construction. Lafarge requests, therefore, that you conform this
restriction so that we may provide same to the Planning Department in
lieu
of a permit. We understand that a permit will be required at a later
date,
prior to construction. Thank you,
Steven T. Brown, AICP
