Water Division 1, Water District 3 Dear Ms. Martin: We have reviewed the above referenced proposal for a mineral resource development facility including open pit gravel mining and materials processing. Since • the submitted material does not appear to qualify as a "subdivision" as defined in §30- 28-101(10)(a), C.R.S., pursuant to the State Engineer's March 4, 2005 memorandum to county planning directors, this office will only perform a cursory review of the referral information and provide comments. The comments will not address the adequacy of the water supply plan for this development or the ability of the water supply plan to satisfy any County regulations or requirements. The applicant indicated that the mine operation will be conducted as a dry pit, by dewatering the active area with dewatering trenches. Exposed ground water taken from the pit will be used for dust suppression and possible material washing. Pursuant to §37-90-137(11), C.R.S., exposed ground water due to gravel mining operations is considered to be a well and a well permit must be obtained prior to the commencement of mining activity. Since this proposed gravel pit "well" appropriates water tributary to the over-appropriated South Platte River basin, an approved temporary substitute water supply plan (SWSP) or a Division 1 Water Court approved plan for augmentation that includes depletions associated with all uses of ground water, including evaporation, would be required before a well permit could be issued. In addition, as indicated in the submittal materials, reclamation plans for the site call for a lined water storage reservoir. However, should reclamation plans alter and ground water remains exposed in unlined ponds, then as indicated above, an approved SWSP or a Division 1 Water Court approved plan for augmentation that includes • Office of the State Engineer 1313 Sherman Street,Suite 818•Denver,CO 80203•Phone:303-866-3581 •Fax:303-866-3589 www.water.state.co.us Weld County Planning Department Page 2 Dust & Dirt USR-1660 July 2, 2008 • depletions associated with all uses of ground water, including evaporation, would be required.

DATE June 16, 2008 COLORADO FROM: Kim Ogle, Planning Manager SUBJECT: Dust& Dirt Excavating, LLC c/o Broken Arrow Investments, LLC c/o Darwin Derr, applicant The Department of Planning Services reviewed the above referenced Use by Special Review application materials and offers the following comments: Per the application materials, the applicant is proposing a Site Specific Development Plan and a Special Use Permit for Mineral Resource Development Facility including open pit mining and material processing in the A (Agricultural)Zone District.. Staff reviewed the text associated with the application. The landscape treatment consists of overburden berms and top soil berms placed at the perimeter of the property to screen the internal activities from adjacent properties. From the discussion in the application it appears that a seed mix will be placed thereby covering the ground plane. Staff strongly suggests that the applicant create visual interest on the berms utilized for long term screening of the facility. Staff reviewed the Extraction Plan for this application. Staff did not review the mining and excavation plan, or any plans associated with the landscape treatment associated with this proposed application. From • discussion in the application, all disturbed areas will be reclaimed and seeded with an unknown seed mix for each phase as mining is completed. The applicant further states that evergreen and decidupus trees will be planted along the perimeter of the mine for screening. The maps identified in the application text were not presented for this review, hence, staff is requesting additional information on the existing and proposed deciduous and evergreen trees, and the dryland seed mix covering the groundplane. The discussion text is general and non-specific with no common, botanical or cultivar species noted. The shape of the reservoir could be described as square at best. For the development of a wildlife habitat area, the reservoir shall have an undulating shoreline with terraced shelves to accommodate a wide variety of wildlife species. Further, the applicant shall contact the Colorado Division of Wildlife for direction on how to provide adequate cover and a positive environment to accommodate the newly created habitat area(s). Written evidence of the Colorado Division of Wildlife requirements and methods of implementing said requirements shall be submitted to the DMG and this office. These comments shall be reflected in the revised Reclamation and Landscape Plan. Per the application materials, the ground plane will be planted in native and/or drought tolerant grasses. Future correspondence shall identify the species of grass seed mix and whether the mix is to be drilled or broadcast for installation. Future correspondence shall identify the erosion control devices including but not limited to rip-rap and seeding that will be placed within and adjacent to this area. If plant material is proposed, please identify the species and how this plant material will be installed. The applicant shall submit an Improvements Agreement for Public and Private Road Maintenance for review and approval by this office if so determined that one is needed by the Department of Public Works.
