DENT July 31, 1980 Mr. Wayne Smith County Engineer Centenial Building P. 0. Box 758 Greeley, Colorado 80632 RE: County Application for Special Use Permit South z Southeast - Section 13, Township 2 North, Range 67 W. Dear Mr. Smith: Thank you and Commissioner Kirby for meeting with myself and some of the Concerned citizens in the area of this proposed operation. I thought our meeting was very helpful and we appreciate the opportunity to have you correct some of the misinformation that had been floating around. Upon reflection, I feel that the concerns expressed by the residents can be broken down into basically two classifications, which class- ifications are not necessairly mutually exclusive. First of all, the residents are concerned about the existing operations in the area for which Special Use Permit has previously been obtained and which are not directly related to the present application. Secondly, the residents are concerned with the impact and effects of the even larger development which is proposed and which is the subject of the pending special use permit application. Many of the specific concerns raised, although directed at the present operation, are or might be applicable to the future operation if necessary permits are obtained. The residents of the area, although preferring not to have any gravel extraction operation in their vicinity, realize the necessity for the County obtaining gravel and that the pits have to be located near some- body's property. They would therefore like to minimize the adverse effects upon the neighborhood while conceeding the necessity for having the operations there at all. We therefore suggest that the following additional operational standards be included as part of the application for special use permit and if so included become binding upon the County as the owner/operator of this particular site. Ar Mr. Wayne Smith July 31, 1980 Page 2 PROPOSED ADDITIONAL OPERATING STANDARDS Ala Owner/operator shall prior to commencing excavation operations and continuously during any period of excavation or hauling, provide suitable dust control and abatement treatment to all unpaved roads over which all trucks may seek ingress or egress from the site. Suitable treatment may include but is not limited to any one or more of the following: oiling, chemical treatment, application of water as required, vehicle speed reduction. 2. Owner/operator shall fence and control all accesses to such site so as to limit or curtail public access to such site. Additionally, owner/ operator shall erect in conspicious locations on such site, signs indicat- ing that public access is not allowed and that violators may be subject to prosecution. 3. Owner/operator shall to the greatest extent possible control or reduce the mosquito population on any part of the proposed site, particu- larly with reference to any pits thereon containing water or other potential mosquito breeding sites. r4. Owner/operator shall by suitable instructions given to all drivers, inform any such drivers of the requirement of adherence to posted speed limits and traffic control devices on all routes being utilized, except that if speed limits are established lower than the otherwise posted speed limits, such drivers shall be so instructed. In addition to the above proposed additional operational standards, the residents whoud suggest the following items, directed at reducing or eliminating the problems existing in connection with the present opera- tional site. 1.

In the reclamation plan, mention is made of planting "self-sustain- ing native species", but no where are these specifically named. There is also no mention as to seeding rates or dates of planting. Native species are generally hard to establish and proper seedbed preparation, rates and timing are very important to a successful stand. 2. Planting of trees and shrubs was mentioned but no spacing or dates of planting were given. Should you desire assistance with selecting the proper species and seeding rates, please feel free to call on me.

USGS Quad - Platteville , Colorado Potential Sources of Flooding: South Platte River and local tributary drainage Available Floodplain Information: 1. "Special Flood Hazard Information Report, South Platte River, Volume I, Weld County, Colorado" prepared by the U.S. Department of the Army, Omaha District, Corps of Engineers in April, 1977. This report was designated by the CWCB on 11/15/77. 2. "Flood Insurance Study, Weld County, Colorado, Unincorporated Areas and Town of Eaton, Colorado" prepared in September, 1979 by Gingery Associates, Inc . under FEMA - FIA contract. This 16 C. C) Ms. Vickie Traxler June 19, 1980 Page two report was designated by the Colorado Water Conservation Board on March 17, 1980. 3. "Map of Flood Prone Areas , Platteville, Colorado 7.5 minute Quad" prepared by the USGS for USD - HUD-FIA in 1974. Findings : 1. In this particular reach, all reports are essentially in agreement. However, the Corp report contains the designated information and thus is referenced here. 2. The property is entirely within the 100-year floodplain of the South Platte River as described in the Corps report designated by this office. 3. The property was completely inundated by the flood of May, 1973. 4. The present application does not identify the 100-year flood boundaries . It does, however, state that the property is in a floodplain. 5. No water diversions or dam impoundments are proposed; however, open pits that will fill with groundwater will remain. 6. The project proposes use of "screening mounds"; however, the drawings do not show the "screening mounds" as described in the permit application. These mounds could be an obstruction to flood flows if improperly placed. 7. The "extraction standards" declare that, "No diking or berm shall be allowed in the SUP area which would cause damage to upstream or downstream properties by altering the historic flow patterns. " 8. Stockpiles , equipment, storage and office areas are not located in the drawings . 9. A reclamation plan is included which appears satisfactory from our viewpoint. Recommendations : A. The applicant should identify the 100-year floodplain on the special use permit application plans . Please see attached page for available information. Ms . Vickie Traxler June 19 , 1980 Page three B. Screening Mounds , stockpiles , dikes , berms and other features should not obstruct the passage of 100-year flood flows to the point that it creates any adverse effects on others. C. Any fuel tanks, septic tanks and other items which might wash away during floodings , thus creating "hazards to the public welfare", should be located outside the 100-year floodplain or adequately floodproofed to avoid the creation of any hazardous conditions. D. Locations of screening mounds, stockpiles , storage areas, equipment areas and other temporary facilities should be shown on the application, preferably in patterns parellel to flow with adequate spacing in order to insure minimum obstruction to flow patterns. E. The reclamation plan should return the area to its natural stateeas possible without any obstructions to stream flows that would adversely effect others. This area should remain zoned as 100-year floodplain lands. Should you have any questions concerning our recommendations, please feel free to give me a call. Very truly yours , D RCfrnatatik Al" D.

The northeastern tract has been worked out and reclaimed, and the southeastern tract is currently being worked. The largest of the three parcels, the western, will be mined in four stages according to the report, but the mining plan map shows only three stages for that tract. A question of greater concern is the volume and placement of the overburden. The construction of a visual screening mound certainly is desirable, but my rough calculations show that the volume of overburden that will be removed will greatly exceed that required for construction of the berm. Using the following information, berm configuration: 25 ft wide at base, 4 ft high, 2:1 outside slope, 3:1 inside slope pit configuration: 35 acres, 5,100 ft perimeter (measured from plan map) , I calculated that a berm of those dimensions completely circling the indicated pit configuration would require about 3.1 x 105 ft3 of material . Removing 2 ft of overburden from the entire pit area would yield about 30.5 x 105 ft3 of material (excluding the expansion factor) , which is nearly one order of magnitude higher than the amount needed for the berm. Even using this material for berms at the other two pit sites would, at most, double the volume that could be used. This suggests to me that a considerable volume of overburden will need to be backfilled into the excavated area. This may not drastically alter the reclamation plans, except to decrease the exposed pond acreage, but it is a point that should be clarified. Sincerely, Stephen D.

Lupton, Colo 80621 Department of Planning Services 915 i^thStreet Greeley Colorado 80631 Dear Sir; We would like to voice our concern about a Gravel Pit in our area. The increase in traffic in front of our home and the dust this additional traffic will cause needs to be adressed. If the pit goes in we would like to see speed limits posted and speed restriction bumps on Rd 20. Also the noise that this traffic will cause is of concern. Maybe a work hour restriction of truck traffic between 8 am and 5 pm. Also road 20 will need additional care with this truck traffic. We have never lived near a Gravel Pit before so we do not know what additional noise the operation of the pit will make but we do hope that the operation of the pit will be in a manner respecting the residents rights. Also we would like to know the name of that person we can call if we do have any complaints about the operation of the pit. Right now we have a tremendous amount of truck traffic from the wells cound hen ant they do not drive careful and they speed. The roads around here are in very bad shape due to their lack of respect for the residents. Sincerely Robert W.

Methods of Mining ./ J On the portion of the west parcel which will be mined, there are no trees or shrubs which must be stripped. The topsoil and over- ) burden will be excavated and relocated to form a roadway/screening U mound along the periphery of the parcel . A backhoe capable of ex- cavating sand and gravel to a 25 foot depth will be utilized. The J mined material will be stockpiled and allowed to drain, since most of the material will be taken from below the groundwater table. B. Earthmoving J Small scrapers can be used to excavate and relocate topsoil and overburden. Dozers will be used to shape the screening mounds J and to move some mined sand and gravel to temporary storage locations. A backhoe capable of excavating to a depth of 25 feet will be used to do the actual mining of sand and gravel . Roadgraders will be .J used to build and maintain access roads. C. Water Management v There will be no water diversions and impoundments. Groundwater will simply collect in the excavated pit and remain at or below J the elevation of the groundwater table. See EXHIBIT G for more in- ,J formation on surface and groundwater management. D. Size of Areas `i (i ) Major disturbance - of the three parcels, only the West Parcel will have excavation operations. It is anticipated that of the Li approximately 45 acres which can potentially be mined, 5 acres at U a time will have topsoil excavated and sand and gravel mined and stored. J LJ J I (ii ) Moderate disturbance - The total area under this category be less than 5 acres. It will include overburden shaping, roach, parking, working, and equipment storage. The pond area will eveniu- —.....--- ...r ally cover 75-80% of the entire site. J (lii ) Minor disturbance - There will be less than 5 acres total which will undergo slope preparation prior to any revegetation. J E. Timetables (i ) Time periods - The material mined from this pit will be used J primarily for road base and gravel road maintenance in the southern J part of Weld County. It has been estimated that the pit will have a lifetime of 20 years. The pit will be divided into 4 acres or J stages with roughly 5 years per stage. (ii ) Size and locations - Each area will be approximately 10 acres J in size. The locations are shown on EXHIBIT C. Each area will be roughly 300 feet east to west by 1300 feet north and south. (iii ) Sequence - Stage 1 will be on the eastern side and operations J will progress to the west. EXHIBIT C shows the intended sequence, Stages 1-4. F. Soil Profile J The overburden and topsoil is 2 to 3 feet thick and consists of grayish brown loam to about 10 inches , brown to light yellowish 'J brown clay to 25 inches , and calcareous loamy sand or sandy loam to about 30 inches. u The material to be mined consists primarily of freely draining LJ pea-sized gravel to a depth of 25 feet and beyond. I E u U J ,„/ u EXHIBIT E RECLAMATION PLAN Li A, Types of Reclamation J The operator proposes to reclaim the land for wildlife habitat ,J because of its proximity to the South Platte River on the east boundary and a natural wildlife habitat within and adjacent to J the western boundary. In addition, because of the location in the flood plain, the pits will be "wet" . Two of the parcels have J been previously mined and the spring months high water level is ,J approximately 3 to 5 feet below the existing ground elevation. The entire acreage will accorded to fish and water fowl habitat, 'J along with small game animals. Each of the three parcels where open pit mining has and will occur Li will require no stripping operations. All that will be required ,J will be excavation of topsoil and overburden, roughly 2 to 3 feet. This material will be used to form screening mounds along the per- 'J iphery. These mounds can serve several purposes : screen views of objectionable operations , reduce noise and dust porblems , and Li provide buffer areas for revegetation between county roads and water habitats. Li , Scrapers can be used for most of the excavation of overburden. L' Then draglines or backhoes will remove overburden which perhaps is too wet for scraper operations. Dragline operations will be U necessary for actual mining of the sand and gravel deposits . Bulldozers can be utilized to shape and form the screening mounds. J J J J i J \J B. Land Use Comparisons J The proposed mining operations and all adjacent lands are located in the South Platte River floodplain as well as an aquifer re- J charge area. The present land uses are agricultural and conser- J vation or wildlife habitat. The proposed post-mining land use of wildlife habitat, therefore, will cause no conflicts with J adopted state and local land use plans. C. Implementation Requirements J The following is a list of applicable requirements of RULE 6 and corresponding implementation plans: 6.1 Grading a. Backfilling - There will be no need for backfilling. b. Erosion - The screening mounds along the periphery will J be constructed with side slopes of not greater than 2 1 ,_, and will be revegetated with properly selected grasses , shrubs, and trees to prevent erosion problems. c. Timeliness - Grading of screening mounds will take place at the very beginning of mining operations. L_J d. Aesthetics and Water Pollution - There will be no refuse ,J produced which could cause unsightliness problems, nor will there be any acid - forming or toxic materials which J could pollute the surface or groundwaters. e. Auger Holes - There will be no drill or auger holes , shafts J or addits to be filled and covered. ,J f. Slopes - The outside slopes of the screening mounds will I be constructed at a ratio or 2: 1 and the inside slopes a- ,_' bove and below the water line will not be greater than 3 1 . g. Farm Machinery - The land is not to be used for agricultural purposes. J J U U 6.2 Water J a. Hydrology and Water Quality - The mining operation will be in compliance with applicable water laws and regulations J governing injury to existing water rights. The mining and J reclamation operations will not require the use of any water, nor will the maintenance of the proposed conservation/wild- life habitat. The operation will also be in compliance with applicable federal and state water quality laws and regulations. J Although there are no plans to de-water the pit and discharge to "state waters" , an NPDES permit will be obtained and suffi - J cient treatment of the discharge water will be performed to meet permit limitations (see Water Management Plan) . The operation will be in compliance with Section 404 dredge J and fill regulations in that there will be no discharges of dredged or fill material into the Cache la Pourde River. There will not be any temporary or large siltation structures constructed. b. Earth dams - There will be no construction of earth dams for J purposes of mining or reclamation of the gravel pit. J J �J J J J IJ 1._/ 6.3 Wildlife J a. Safety and Protection - Any existing wildlife species which must be kept safe and protected are located on adjacent prop- erty and not on the mining site. No new access roads will be constructed. Although there may have been some wildlife species which used the crops as temporary cover, there will be no sig- nificant impact on wildlife. b. Habitat management and creation - The reclaimed site will con- sist of three ponds. Adjacent areas will be left in their ,J natural state. In order to minimize the impact from traffic on the two County Roads , screening mounds revegetated with trees , shrubs , and grasses will be constructed. Also it has been sug- gested by the Colorado Division of Wildlife to install a cul- 1 vert under the County Road connecting the two largest ponds to allow fish access from one pond to another.

Relationship to Environment J The entire area along the South Platte River consists of a naturo wildlife habitat - river, ponds , ground cover, cottonwood trees . The reclaimed area will consist of exactly the same. In fact, since the ponds will increase the amount of water surface in the area, more water fowl will be attracted to the area. J The three parcels will not actually impound water but simply con- -J tain groundwater. The ponds will not collect runoff or any other drainage water. J J u -J J J J J J J J E. Topsoil Management Plan -J The topsoil management plan will consist of the following items 1. Strip the top 6 inches to 1 foot of topsoil with a scrape' =i J type machine. 2. Using the scraper, relocate the topsoil to the north, east, J and south edges of the site. 3. Build screening mounds with the topsoil about 20-30 feet ,aide and 3-5- feet high. 4. Some extra topsoil taken from the west parcel could be used along the perimeters of the other two parcels, if necessary for adequate revegetation. F. Revegetation Plan The planned revegetation is for the perimeters of the three parcels . Li Trees and shrubs will help provide some cover and nesting areas for wildlife using the ponds , and reduce impacts from vehic ,lar LJ traffic along the County Roads. Preferred species - Cottonwood and Willow trees are preferred Methods of planting - Small 5 foot trees will be transplanted from along the old river channel to locations surrounding the future ponds. Availability of species - These trees are available in great .1 numbers. Proposed time - Planting could begin immediately after the screen- ing mound/roadways are constructed the first year.

Identifications of Water Systems i An old channel of the South Platte River is located adjacent to the two eastern parcels along their eastern edge. The Meadow Is- __J land Ditch No. 1 runs through the western half of the west parcel J There are no wells, springs, stockwater ponds , or reservoirs on the affected land. The parcels are located in the South Platte groundwater reclidrye area. The aquifer is simply known as the South Platte Rive' J alluvial aquifer. B. Water Quality Management Plan The two eastern parcels have been mined and the excavated arfus '_' have filled with ground water to 4-6 feet below the adjacent ground elevations. There will be no dewatering operations or runof` froI either of these to parcels which would have the potential of Lousing pollution to any state waters . There will be no dewatering operation from the west parcel . Any ,-' storm runoff from disturbed areas will be directed toward the ex- cavated area. After mining operations cease, the entire nun, I aid J will fill with ground water and serve as a small lake or pour' J All three parcels could collect agricultural runoff and prevLnl it from entering surface waters. -, C. Project Water Requirements There will be no project water requirements for the development , J mining and reclamation phases other than occassional dust control J operations. The amont needed for dust control is not expectr 'l to exceed 1000 gallons per week during dry conditions. -J J Il U By spreading recently excavated sand and gravel on haul roads , J the need for dust control measures would be eliminated. Although there will be a measurable amount of water lost through J evaporation from the pond surface, it should not exceed the amount lost through evapotranspiration from agricultural crop production.

Significant Wildlife Resources J This is primarily an area of small game species (du, Is , geese, rabbits, etc. ) and common non-game species. _J B. Seasonal Use —a Ducks and geese, as well as hunters , use the area very heavily from September through the middle of January. .. Threatened or Endangered Species The Colorado Division of Wildlife is unaware of tl p atulatron of J threatened or endangered species. An occasional I11d eagle and/ J or golden eagle may frequent the area , but there at , no known nest sites. J D. Effects on Wildlife There will be very little effect on wildlife dun iiI operattoi„ _J In fact, according to the Division of Wildlife, the mining operation J could benefit wildlife by providing ponds for nest ' iii and breeding areas for ducks and geese. The area could also le 1,od for fisting J ponds.

Included are sone soils with clay loam subsoils and some soils with evidence of poor drainage. Also in- __J cluded are some long narrow streaks of sand and gravel deposits. Typically _, the surface layer is grayish brown loam about 10 inches thick. The subsoil is brown to light yellowish brown clay loam and sandy clay loam about J 15 inches thick. The sub stratum is calcareous loamy sand or sandy loam about 6 inches thick over sand and gravel . Denth to sand and gravel ranges from 20 to 40 inches. Permeability is moderate and available water capacity ,� is moderate. Effective rooting depth is 20 to 40 inches Surface run- off is slow and erosion hazard is low. This soil is used almost entirely for irrigation and is suited to all crops adapted to this area . Wind breaks and environmental plantings are well suited on this soil , in- cluding all trees and shrubs adapted to this area. Trees that are best ,i suited and have a good survival are Rocky Mountain Juniper, Eastern Red Cedar, Ponderosa Pine. Siberian Elm, Russian Olive, and ilackberry. Shrubs best suited are Skunkbush Sumac, Lilac, Siberian Peashruh, and American Plum. This soil can produce habitat elements that are hinhly suitable Li for open wildlife including pheasants , cottontail , and mourning doves ,J Some types of crop production is also suitable for onenland wildlife, especially pheasant. Practices that would enhance open land wildlife ' ' populations could include three and shrub plantings , and undisturbed nesting cover. u v Aquolls and Aouepts , gravelly substratum Lr These nearly level soils are on bottom lands and flood plains of major _d streams. The Aquolls have dark colored surface layers , and the Aouepts are lighter colored. They are deep, poorly drained soils formed in recent alluvium. Typically they have mottled, midly to moderately alkaline, loamy or clayey surface layers and underlying material , and are under lain by sand and gravel within 48 inches. Most of these soils are sub- ject to flooding with the watertable located at or near the surface early in the spring, and receding to a death of 48 inches by Litn fall in some `i years. While most of these soils are used for rangeland and wildfire habitat, some have been reclaimed by major drainage and leveling operation, Li to productive farm land. The potential native vegetation on these soils 's dominated by alkali sacaton, switchgrass , western wheitgrass , saltgrass , LA edne, rush, and alkali bluegrass. LA LA LA LA J Dacano Clay Loam J This is a deep, well drained soil formed in mixed alluvium. Included are some long, narrow streaks of sand and gravel deposits. Typically the sur- =i J face layer is grayish brown clay loam about 12 inches thick. The subsoil is grayish brown clay loam about 15 inches thick. Depth to sand and gravel ranges from 20 to 40 inches. Permeability is moderately slow and available J water capacity is moderate. Effective rooting depth is 20 to 40 inches, surface run-off is slow, and erosion hazard is slow. B. Suitability for Plant Growth The Altvan loam soil is suited for all crops commonly grown in the area. Windbreaks and environmental plantings are generally well suited on this soil .

Seasonal Precipitation J Weld County has a climate consisting of semiarid steppe with mod- erately cold winters and warm summers. The area has low relative humidity and less than 15 inches of precipitation a year. The pre- `J cipitation is mainly in the form of thunderstorms, occasionally accompanied by hail and strong winds. Most of the precipitation occurs during the 140 day growing season. This amount is sufficient J to support native grasses and shrubs. B. Temperature Ranges Seasonal temperatures range between an average of 23.8°F in January to 74.80F during July. Periodic extremes find temperatures falling near zero a few days each winter and swimmer hot spells in the 90's, lasting one to two weeks. J J J J J J J J U \..../ EXHIBIT L RECLAMATION COSTS -J Because of the type of proposed reclamation and final land use, the costs i -J of reclamation are expected to be negligible. This is to say that the time and equipment costs to the operator above and beyond those expected for the J mining operation itself will be very small . The mining plan and mining meth- --, ods , which the operator has used in the past, have proven to result in an area that can be reclaimed to a conservation/wildlife habitat land use without ex- .--1 pensive reclamation efforts. The operator and owner, Weld County, being a governmental organization, is un- der unique financial constraints. It is more economical for Weld County to fol- d low a mining plan which will facilitate a natural reclamation process than to �, reclaim the land for other uses. The proposed land use was selected, in part, because of the negligible cost of reclamation. J J J -J J -J -J -J -J J v EXHIBIT M LOCAL GOVERNMENT APPROVAL That portion of the site located in Section 18 has been approved for gravel extraction by the County. The portion of the site located in Section 13 is in the process of obtaining a Special Use Permit which will represent approval by the County for gravel extraction. This location in Section 13 is currently zoned "A" Agricultural which does permit surface mine activity upon approval of appropriate permits. In addition, the location is identified as being within the "Resource Conservation Area" as specified in the Weld County Extraction Plan. Please see the letter dated June 13, 1979 from Thomas E.

Carlson, P. E. Western Technical Services 1024 8th Street Greeley, Colorado 80631 J RE: Letter of June 1 , 1979 Dear Mr. Carlson : Pursuant to the above referenced letter, I am forwarding the status of the three sites about which you inquired. As I understand, you are preparing submittals to the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board u for the three areas. The following information relates to the sites . 1 . Pierce Site: The subject property is located in the W5 of Section 7, TBN, R65W.• The current gravel operation is a legal non-conforming use and as such can continue operation with no further County action required. Based upon my information, the proposed application does not exceed the boundaries of the accepted non-conforming use area and therefore will not be constituted as an expansion. LJ 2 . Koenig Site: The subject property is located in the S1" of Section 18 , T2N, R66W and the SE4 of Section 13 , T2N, J R67W. That portion of the site located in Section 18 has been approved for gravel extraction by the County. The portion of the site located in Section 13 has not at this time had appropriate approval by the County to permit gravel extraction. i The location in Section 13 is currently zoned "A" Agri- : cultural. Said zone district does permit surface mine activity upon approval of appropriate permits. Further , the location is identified as being within the "Resource u J Donald C. Carlson Page 2 Ju,ie 13, 1979 -J Conservation Area" as identified in the Weld County Extraction Plan . Policies within the Extraction Plan do promote such areas for mining. 3 . Davis Ranch Site: The Davis Ranch in total comprises parts of several sections. Based upon your preliminary maps you are proposing extraction in Section 1 , T5N, R65W north of the Poudre River. Again as above, no current permits exist for this area with the County at this time. -J The site referenced above is, however, currently in the "A" Agricultural District. Again it is similar to the Koenig site as it is within the "Resource Conservation Area" outlined in the County ' s Extraction Plan. Current limitations around the Davis Ranch area are those parts of Sections 2 and 11 , T5N, R65W lying north of the Poudre River. Said area is currently within the "I" Industrial District. Such portions would require rezoning -J to the "A" Agricultural District before the County could consider surface mining applications . As indicated above, this issue does not appear relevant to the current ,J site. It will, however, be important to insure the proposed permit area will be within the portion of the Davis Ranch currently in the "A" Agricultural District. Hopefully this has addressed P Y your questions at this time . Feel free to co act me if ou have additional concerns . V y my yo rs/ 17 /1/0-14d(7) P (~i444 Thomas E.
