INTRODUCTION
Ready Mixed Concrete Company (RMCC) is applying for a Use by Special Review
Permit in order to mine sand and gravel from their Morton Lakes property located in part
of the southeast VI of Section 1 and the northeast V4 of Section 12, both in Township 1
North, Range 67 West of the Sixth P.M. Weld County, Colorado. The proposed Morton
Lakes Pit is located in unincorporated Weld County one half mile west of Fort Lupton,
Colorado. Access to the site is via State Highway 52 which is one quarter mile north of
the property. Portions of the proposed pit lie within the 100 -year floodplain of the South
Platte River.
The Morton Lakes Pit will be mined in conjunction with the Holton Lakes Pit (USR
1608) which is contiguous to the west boundary of Holton. On August 22, 2007, the
Weld County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved USR 1608. RMCC
proposes to apply the "Site Specific Development Plan -Special Review Permit -
Development Standards" approved by the BCC to its Morton Lakes Pit (see Appendices
2). In addition to mining and processing sand and gravel, USR 1608 also allows RMCC
to operate a concrete batch plant and to truck sand, gravel and concrete to customers via
Colorado Highway 52.
Prior to recording the Holton Lakes Plat RMCC was required to obtain an approved
Flood Hazard Development Permit (FHDP) for all structures proposed to be located in
the 100 year floodplain of the South Platte River. As the operator prepared their Flood
Hazard Development Permit (FHDP) application for submittal to the Weld County Public
Works Department, it became clear that placement of the sand and gravel processing
plant, ready mixed concrete plant, sand and gravel stockpiles and scale house; indeed,
any structures within the designated floodway of the South Platte River would not be
approvable by the Weld County Public Works Department.
In order to obtain an approved permit for Holton Lakes (FHDP-516 was approved
December 28, 2007 by Public Works) the applicant and operator agreed to remove all of
•
•
•
the above described improvements from Holton Lakes and to transport all sand and
gravel off site for processing.
To that end, RMCC purchased a 180 acre parcel (Morton) immediately adjacent to
the west boundary of the Holton Lakes property. The company proposes to transport all
sand and gravel, excavated from the Holton Lakes property, by conveyor to the proposed
plant site on the west side of the Morton Lakes property; an area outside of the designated
100 year floodway of the South Platte River. In addition, RMCC proposes to relocate all
of the above described improvements currently approved under Holton Lakes USR 1608
to Morton Lakes.
The Morton Lakes sand and gravel pit will be mined in five stages totaling 134
acres. Prior to mining, soil-bentonite slurry walls will be constructed around the
perimeter of mining stages two, three, four and five, which total 111 acres of the 180
acres to be mined. All five mining stages will be dewatered and then mined dry with
backhoes and front-end loaders. Excavated sand and gravel will be conveyed from the
active stage of mining to anon site sand and gravel processing plant where the aggregate
will be crushed, screened, washed and stockpiled. Finished sand and gravel products will
be used to supply an on -site ready mix concrete plant or hauled by truck to customers via
the C -DOT approved Highway 52 (Holton Lakes) access (Permit No. 407153).
Morton Lakes Stages 2 and 3 are contiguous to Holton Lakes Stages 4 and 5;
therefore, during mining the common boundary between the two properties will be mined
and reclaimed jointly for developed water storage.
Wherever feasible, reclamation will be done concurrently. The Morton site will be
reclaimed for two principal post -mining land uses, wildlife habitat and developed water
storage. It is estimated that 3,875 acre-feet of water storage can be developed from
mining stages 2-5.
Depending upon the economy of the region and demand for sand and gravel, the life
of the Morton Lakes Pit is estimated to be approximately 10 years.
•
4.0 USR QUESTIONNAIRE
1. A detailed description of the method of mining operation; the description shall
include:
•
•
a. The types and numbers of structures that will be erected (built) on site including
operation and processing equipment to be employed include, but are not limited to,
the following:
• Sand and Gravel Processing Plant;

All Reclamation work will be completed by the end of 2028.
g. Sand and gravel thickness varies from 30-35 feet, overburden thickness is 3-5 feet.
h. The Reclamation Plan map is included with this application. The proposed post
mining land uses include developed water storage and wildlife habitat.
The reclamation process involves the grading and shaping of banks in areas where
water storage is proposed (Stages 2-5). Mining Stage 1 will be filled with wash
fines from the sand and gravel processing plant and re -vegetated.

•
i. Technical advice was provided by the applicants representatives, the Colorado
Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety and Hart Environmental.
2. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Code,
Chapter 22.
Answer:
The proposed use is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. Chapter
22 of the Weld County Code articulates the County's policies regarding mineral
resources development. In particular, CM Goal 5 states that the County's policy
"provide for timely reclamation and reuse of mining sites in accordance with this
Chapter and Chapters 23 and 24 of this Code."
The goal of the Morton Lakes reclamation plan is to develop a number of post -
mining land uses, including:
1. Developed Water storage and,
2. Wildlife habitat
Over the past fifteen years there has been a significant growth in the demand for
water storage on the South Platte River. Sand and gravel extraction along the South
Platte River from Thornton to Fort Lupton has presented Front Range
municipalities with the opportunity to acquire important water storage needed to
meet the demands of their growing populations. The Morton Lakes sand and gravel
project offers the opportunity to create 3000 acre feet of new water storage. This
new water storage could be used to provide much needed augmentation water for
those in the agricultural community who rely on tributary ground water wells to
irrigate their farms.
The second goal of the Morton Lakes reclamation plan is to add wildlife habitat
diversity in the riparian corridor of the South Platte River. In addition, future trail
alignment opportunities along the South Platte and from the City of Fort Lupton
will provide important links to the greater South Platte River trail network both up
stream and down stream from Morton Lakes.

•
3. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County
Code, Chapter 23 and the zone district in which it is located.
Answer:
The subject property is zoned "A" Agricultural. The proposed use is allowed by
Special Review pursuant to Sec. 23-3-40(A.)(4.) of the Weld County Land Use
Code.
4. If applicable, explain what efforts have been made, in the location decision for
the proposed use, to conserve productive agricultural lands in the agricultural
zone district.
Answer:
The agricultural productivity of the Morton Lakes property has been greatly
reduced due to the sale, by the previous owners, of all surface water rights. Also, as
a condition of the sale of the irrigation water historically used on the Morton
property, the sellers executed a "Dry -up Covenant" which goes into effect January
1, 2009.
The Morton Lakes Mining Plan is intended to allow the continued, though limited,
agricultural use of the property concurrently with mining. For example, mine stages
2-5 will remain in agricultural use up until mining begins in each of these stages.
Ultimately 115 acres of the 180 acre Morton property will be converted to
developed water storage.
It should be noted that previous owners of the Morton property have sold off all of
the surface water historically used to irrigate the property thereby limiting the
agricultural productivity of the land.
6. What type of uses surrounds the site? Explain how the proposed use is
consistent and compatible with surrounding land uses.
Response:
Currently, land uses surrounding the Morton Lakes property include agriculture and
sand and gravel mining operations (past, present and future); they include:
4
•
•
•
• West- An existing sand and gravel pit operated by Lafarge and as
well as future sand and gravel mining (see Lafarge's Riverbend
sand and gravel pit approved by Weld County);
• Northwest — Agriculture (pasture);
• North- Agriculture (pasture);
• East — Holton Lakes Sand and gravel pit (USR 1608) approved by
Weld County;
• Southeast — Lafarge's future Riverbend sand and gravel operation ;
• South — Agriculture/Pasture and future sand and gravel mining
Mining Phase 6 of Lafarge's Riverbend sand and gravel pit is
contiguous to the south boundary of mining Stage 2 of the
Morton Lakes.
• Southwest- Mining Phase 6 of Lafarge's Riverbend sand and
gravel pit is contiguous to the southwest boundary of mining Stage
1 of Morton Lakes.
As historic South Platte sand and gravel resources between Brighton and Fort
Lupton are depleted, demand for replacement aggregate reserves in the Fort Lupton
area will continue to increase.
The proposed Morton Lakes sand and gravel operation is compatible with both
existing and future land uses in this area of Weld County.
7. A statement describing the existing land use.
Response:
The existing land uses on the Morton Property are agricultural including pasture,
hay and vegetable fanning.
8. Describe, in detail, the following:
a. How many people (employees, visitors, buyers, etc.) will use this site?
Answer:
Depending on the number of shifts worked per day, the number of people
using the site on a daily basis will range anywhere from 25 to 35.
b. What are the hours of operation?
5
•
•
•
Answer:
All sand and gravel and concrete plant operations will be conducted during
the hours of daylight except in the case of a public project or private
emergency or to make necessary repairs to equipment. This restriction shall
not apply to operation of administrative and executive offices or repair or
maintenance facilities located on the property.
c. What type and how many animals, if any, will be on this site?
Answer:
Livestock (horses and cattle) will continue to be pastured on those areas of the
subject property not being mined.
d. What kind (type, size, weight) of vehicles will access this site and how
often?

f. What is the water source on the property? (commercial well or water
district)
Answer:
Potable water will be supplied by commercial water service. The Applicant
will use water from an existing well on the Morton Property for all operations
including but not limited to: sand and gravel washing and processing; dust
control and, ready mixed concrete production. An application for a commercial
(exempt) well permit will be filed with the office of the Colorado State
Engineer.

west boundary of Stage 3 as depicted on the landscape plan map included with
this application package.
k. Explain how long it will take to construct this site and when construction
and landscaping is scheduled to begin.
Answer:
It is estimated that construction and landscaping will require 3 to 4 months to
complete. The first area to be landscaped is along the west side of mining
Stage 3. Landscaping work associated with this Stage will be completed during
7
•
•
•
the first year following approval of this USR, and prior to the start of mining in
that stage.
1. Explain any proposed reclamation procedures when termination of the
Use by Special Review activity occurs.
Answer:
To the greatest degree practicable, reclamation of the Morton Lakes Pit will be
concurrent with the mining of the site. Within two years of the completion of
all mining activities on site and the termination of the USR all remaining
reclamation work will be completed.
m. Explain how the storm water drainage will be handled on the site.
Answer:
Storm water drainage will be managed according to the Storm Water
Management Plan (SWMP), which will be developed for the site in conjunction
with the requirements of the NPDES ground water discharge permit for sand
and gravel operations issued by the Colorado Division of Health and
Environment contained on site. If requested to do so, the Applicant will provide
a copy of the NPDES Permit and SWMP for the Morton Lakes Pit to Weld
County.
n. Method and time schedule of removal or disposal of debris, junk and
other wastes associated with the proposed use.
Answer:
Removal/disposal of debris, junk and wastes associated with the Morton Lakes
sand and gravel operation will occur as needed during the life of the pit.
Following completion of all mining activities, all plant, and equipment will be
removed as well as all remaining debris, junk and wastes.
o. A statement delineating the need for the proposed use.
Response:
Regional growth, transportation, and land use planning will all be affected by
8
• •
•
•
•
p•
the ability of the aggregates (sand and gravel) industry to meet future demand
for aggregate resources. Long term demand for sand and gravel is expected to
continue at reasonably high levels due to projected population growth and the
associated demand for infrastructure improvements needed to accommodate
such growth. Sand and gravel resources are becoming more difficult to recover
and more expensive to produce due to longer transportation distances between
the source and the customer, more involved permitting requirements, and the
encroachment of other land uses on undeveloped potential aggregate reserves.
As historic South Platte sand and gravel resources between Brighton and Fort
Lupton are depleted, demand for replacement aggregate reserves in the Fort
Lupton area will continue to increase.
The sand and gravel reserves of the Morton Lakes site represent an important
aggregate resource for this area of Weld County. In addition, the post mining
development of the site for water storage has the potential to be an important
water resource for the area.
A statement which explains the USR area is not located in a floodplain,
geologic hazard and Weld County Airport overlay district area; or that the
application complies with Chapter 23, Article V, Overlay District
Regulations as outlined in the Weld County Code.
Response:
A portion of the proposed Morton Lakes USR area is located in the 100 -year
floodplain of the South Platte River. The Applicant will obtain a Floodplain
Use Permit (FUP) from Weld County prior to the start of any work in the
floodplain subject to the approved USR.
The proposed Morton Lakes USR site is not located in a geologic hazard area
nor is it located within the Weld County Airport Overly District.

5.0 MINING PLAN
5.1 General
The proposed Morton Lakes Sand and Gravel pit is anticipated to affect
approximately 134 acres of land located on either side of Big Dry Creek.
The aggregate deposit consists of alluvial sand and gravel overlain by topsoil and
overburden. The topsoil layer and overburden layer will range from three to five feet in
thickness, while the sand and gravel deposit is 25 to 30 feet thick. The deposit is
underlain by bedrock shale. The maximum depth of excavation will be approximately 35
feet.
The alluvial groundwater level are approximately 3 to 5 feet below natural ground
level. The deposit is therefore classified as a wet alluvial deposit. However, the sand and
gravel deposit will be mined dry once the each mining stage has been de -watered. The
sand and gravel deposit is cataloged in the report Sand, Gravel and Quarry Resources,
Colorado Front Range Counties (Colorado Geologic Survey, 1974).
An estimate of overburden and resource volumes for the property is as follows:
Mining Stages Acres Sand and Gravel Overburden
Stage 1 17.0 1,000,000 tons 85,000 yds
Stage 2 21.6 1,300,000 tons 105,000 yds
Stage 3 36.4 2,200,000 tons 175,000 yds
Stage 4 40.0 2,240,000 tons 200,000 yds
Stage 5 19.3 960,000 tons 92,000 yds
5.2 Mining Method
Dry mining techniques will be used. Initially, a dewatering ditch will be excavated
around the perimeter of each mining stage and groundwater recovered in the dewatering
ditch will be discharged to the South Platte in accordance with Colorado/NPDES
discharge permit regulations.
•
•
•
Prior to dewatering mining stages 2-5, a soil-bentonite slurry wall will be installed
around the perimeter of each mining stage. Once the slurry wall in place the stage to be
mined will be de -watered and mined. With the slurry wall in place prior to pit de -
watering, adverse impacts to nearby groundwater wells will be avoided.
Topsoil and overburden will be placed in temporary stockpiles within the mining
area limits. Topsoil and overburden will be salvaged and stockpiled separately.
Approximate topsoil and overburden stockpile areas are shown on the Mine Plan Map.
The deposit will be mined using scrapers and front-end loaders. Excavated sand and
gravel will be discharged to a field conveyor system for transport to the on -site
processing plant located in the north half of Morton Stage 3. Additional conveyors may
be used inside the mine areas to facilitate transport of the resource.
All Holton Lakes sand and gravel will be transported by conveyor to the sand and
gravel processing plant on the Morton Lakes property.
Primary access to and from the Morton Lakes operation will be via an access road
from Holton Lakes to Colorado State Highway 52. Haul trucks to and from the site will
use Highway 52 only. The Highway 52 access road intersection with will be upgraded
per C -DOT Permit No. 407153.
5.3 Mining Schedule
Mining is currently projected at a rate of 1 to 2 million tons/year, depending on the
economy. Based on an estimated reserve of 7.7 million tons and a mining rate of l million
tons per year the Morton sand and gravel reserves will last approximately 8 years. Pre -
Mining activities are currently projected to commence in 2009 with mining scheduled to
begin in 2010.
5.4 Surface Water Management
All mine areas will drain internally. Uncontrolled releases of surface water and
sediment from mining areas will not occur. Storm water collected in the open pit will be
managed in accordance with Colorado/NPDES discharge permit requirements. Sediment
generated from localized storm water runoff and surface drainage will be detained in the
ponds created by the proposed mining operation.

6.0 RECLAMATION PLAN
•
•
6.1 Post -Mining Land Use
Approximately 1/3 of the Morton Lakes Sand and Gravel Pit is located in the 100 -
year floodplain of the South Platte River. Weld County Department of Planning Services
considers land located in the 100 -year floodplain to be suitable for agriculture, recreation,
and wildlife uses. The post -mining land uses as proposed in this Reclamation Plan
include developed water storage and wildlife habitat. These uses are compatible with the
surrounding land uses and with the Weld County planning goals.
In order to minimize surface disturbance at the Morton Lakes Pit, mining and
reclamation will be conducted concurrently to the greatest extent practicable. The
operator will concurrently reclaim pit wall areas in locations where mining has been
completed. Reclamation, including re -grading and seeding will be completed in 2 to 3
years following the completion of mining operations in Stages 2, 3, 4 and 5. Stage 1 will
be reclaimed over the life of the mine as wetland habitat.
Stage 1 will be backfilled, over the life of the mine, with wash fines from the
sand and gravel processing plant. Wash fines will be pumped from the processing plant to
Stage 1 and used to backfill each of the three cells that comprise this stage. The goal of
the reclamation plan for Stage 1 is to enhance the wildlife habitat diversity of the South
Platte floodplain .
Stages 2, 3, 4 and 5 will be reclaimed for developed water storage. Preliminary
calculations indicate that approximately 3,800 acre-feet of water storage will be created
with these four stages.
6.2 Reclamation Measures — Material Handling
Site reclamation measures are illustrated on Exhibit F. Reclamation of the site will
include creation of four slurry -sealed pits. All pit walls will be re -graded using stockpiled
overburden. Pit perimeter slopes will be no steeper than 314: IV. Topsoil will be spread
over the surface of the re -graded slopes in all areas above the post reclamation water
storage elevation, and the topsoil -covered surfaces will be re -vegetated.
•
•
•
•
Disturbed areas associated with site access and the existing conveyor will be
scarified, covered with topsoil, and re -vegetated.
Site grading will be performed to create stable topography that will be consistent
with post -reclamation land uses. Reclamation quantities and costs are summarized in
Exhibit L of the DRM&S permit application.
6.3 Water
Because overburden and mine materials are inert, adverse impacts to local surface
water or groundwater quality are not anticipated. The Applicant will comply with all
applicable State water quality laws and regulations.
6.4 Wildlife
Presently, Stages 1-4 are used for livestock grazing. Stage 5 is used to grow
vegetables. There some indigenous wildlife species that inhabits the Morton Lakes
property that will likely be displaced by the proposed mining activities. See the Wildlife
Resources Assessment prepared by ERO Resources found in the Appendices to the
DRM&S permit application.
6.5 Topsoiling
Soils on the Holton site consist of Aquolls, Aquents, Colombo Clay Loam, Vona
Sandy Loam and Dacono clay loam. These soils will be stripped and stockpiled during
overburden removal, and retained for replacement during site reclamation. During
reclamation, topsoil will be spread over areas to be reclaimed.
Topsoil stockpiles will be protected from erosion and other damage by best
management practices. Soil amendments are not expected to be required due to the nature
of the soils. However, topsoil samples will be subjected to agricultural testing prior to
reclamation to assess fertilizer requirements. SCS soil fertilizer recommendations, if any,
will be followed.
•
•
•
6.6 Re -vegetation
Following topsoil replacement, reseeding will be performed according to SCS
recommended practices. Based on SCS guidance for other local projects having similar
soils, the following re -vegetation procedures are anticipated:
Grass seed will typically be planted in unfrozen soil between October 1 and
April 30.
Grass seed will be planted with a grass drill or, where necessary, with a
broadcast seeder.
• The proposed seed mix and application rates in pounds of pure live seed per
acre are described on the following pages.
• If necessary, critical areas may be covered with straw or hay mulch to control
erosion during germination.
Weed -control practices will be implemented as required.
The above procedures may be modified as conditions dictate.
In areas that are peripheral to the Stage 1 wetlands, marsh and aquatic plants will
establish themselves. The types of wetland plants anticipated to colonize Stage 1 include
cattails, willows, cottonwoods, and bull -rushes.
6.7 Buildings and Structures
Prior to the completion of mining Stage 3, the sand and gravel processing plant and
ready mixed concrete plant will be removed along with all associated structures such as
equipment repair facilities and related structures if any. As mining in Stage 3 is
completed, all field conveyors will be removed including the wash water pipeline from
the processing plant to Stage 1. Finally, the scale house and administrative building will
be removed along with any other related structures.
The overland conveyor system required for transport of sand and gravel to the
process area is portable.
