A public hearing was conducted on July 28 , 1982 at 2 : 00 P.M. , with the following present: JOHN MARTIN CHAIRMAN CHUCK CARLSON PRO TEM NORMAN CARLSON COMMISSIONER BILL KIRBY COMMISSIONER JUNE STEINMARK COMMISSIONER Also present: ACTING CLERK TO THE BOARD, JEANNETTE SEARS ASSISTANT COUNTY ATTORNEY, R. RUSSELL ANSON PLANNING DEPARTMENT REPRESENTATIVE, ROD ALLISON The following business was transacted: I hereby certify that pursuant to a notice dated July 12 , 1982 , duly published July 15 , 1982 in the LaSalle Leader , a public hearing was held on the request of Bucklen Equipment Company for a Use by Special Review for a gravel pit operation . The Planning Commission recommended that the request be approved with conditions and standards . Mr . Bucklen agreed with all the standards and conditions with one exception. He disagreed with the standard which requires the chain link fencing . He was of the opinion , that anyone can get on the wrong side of a fence , should they be injured and need help it will be more difficult with the fencing to assist the injured person . Mr. Bucklen stated that he is expanding his gravel mining operation onto the parcel that he purchased two years ago . He was unable to determine the lengh of his extraction plan because it is affected by the ecomony . Virginia Scheel , an adjacent landowner , commented on the two petitions that have been filed in opposition to this request . Ms . Scheel stated that. the adjacent landowners are in opposition to this request because they are fearful that their domestic water wells will dry up . Several of the adjacent landowners listed their objections and concerns regarding this request . Some of the issues raised besides the domestic water supply were the additional truck traffic , accesses , breeding of insects , safety factor , septic tanks , and easements . The Assistant County Attorney , R . Russell Anson , stated that the land- owners must prove who is draining their domestic water supply , utilize the court process and possibly the judge will determine who shall be responsible for said loss . The Board of County Commissioners agreed that the biggest concern is the domestic water supply loss . Tape change 82-52 Several adjacent landowners again commented on their rights in conjunction with their domestic water well supply . The flow of the underground water supply was discussed by the Commissioners . After additional discussion, Commissioner Kirby made a motion to continue this matter for three weeks to August 18 , 1982 , at 10 : 00 A. M . , so the Commissioners can make anon site inspection , study the legal ramifications , and at that time additional testimony will be limited to the domestic water supply. Commissioner Steinmark seconded the motion . It was a consensus of the Board that Mr . Bucklen does not have to halt his operation pending the action on August 18 , 1982 . The motion carried unanimously . CHAIRMAN ' BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ATTEST : k,0u.

Botham (303) 455-9589 /2695 Alcott Street / Denver, Colorado 80211 — Gordon W. Fassett July 2 , 1982 Mrs . Margaret Winter Flatiron Sand and Gravel Company Post Office Box 229 Boulder, Colorado 80306 Dear Margie : This letter describes the results. of an investigation made in response to a problem with a well owned by Bill Ketler. The well is located at 3029 C Street , Greeley, Colorado . It is 82 feet deep and was drilled prior to 1952 . The well is one of three located on the property and has been used for domestic purposes . The well has not been registered with the State , therefore , no permit records are available . In the fall of 1981 , the water level in the well dropped below the pump intake and the pump started pulling air. Since that time , the well has yielded no water. The other two wells on the property are about 300 feet to the north. Both of these wells are shallower and both will yield water. A problem has also developed with a well owned by Edward Rody of 2836 C Street . Mr. Rody ' s well is located at his house and has been used for domestic purposes . This well was drilled in 1961 , is 123 feet deep and yields 1 gpm. Depth to water was 5 feet when the well was completed . The water level in the well started dropping in the fall of 1981 . The well is not dry , but can only be pumped for 10 to 15 minutes before the pump starts to pull air. The pump must then be shut off and a 15 to 20 minute wait is required to allow the water level to rise above the pump intake. To determine why these wells are drying up , we defined the local ground-water system and looked for any land use changes , including Flatiron' s pit , which might have adversely affected the system. Pertinent information was obtained from the State Engineer ' s Office and from conversations with the residents who live in the affected area . Two site visits to the area were made on May 13 and June 10 , 1982 . During the visits Ketler' s wells were inspected, all ditches and creeks in the area were visited and recent land use changes were noted. o `.•, Hydrology r- E Water Rights i• tC A Environmental Analysis Urban Drainage �� Mrs . Margaret W_ .ter July 2 , 1982 Tage 2 Introduction The Ketler well is located in the southwest 4 of the southwest 4 of Section 36 , Township 6 North, Range 66 West ( Figure 1 ) . The well is approximately 4 , 100 feet south of the Cache La Poudre River, approximately 3 , 700 feet southeast of the Flatiron pit , approximately 4 , 500 feet southeast of the Mobil pit and approximately 3 , 500 feet northeast of the Best Way Permit . The Greeley No . 3 Ditch trends east-west about 1 , 600 feet south of the Ketler well . A spillway for carrying excess storm runoff runs north-south along the east side of 35th Avenue between 10th Street and the Cache La Poudre River. A low-yield spring contributes water to this spillway at the intersection of C Street and 35th Avenue . The vicinity of the Ketler well has , until recently, been predominantly rural . Agriculture has been the dominant land use since the area was first settled. With the aid of irrigation, corn, sugar beets and alfalfa have been successful cash crops . Livestock grazing, especially cattle , has also been an important land use . To the north and west , a number of gravel mining operations mine the alluvial gravels of the Cache La Poudre River. The City of Greeley continues to expand and urbanization has claimed much of the land to the south and west . To the south of C Street almost all of Section 1 , T5N, R66W has undergone a transition from agriculture to urban land use . To the southwest , the northeast 4 of Section 11 has been developed since 1979-80 . This area , about 160 acres (Figure 1) , was farmed and irrigated by the Predalve family until 1978 . Corn was grown • on the sandy soils which overlie the Laramie Formation. A substantial amount of irrigation is necessary to successfully grow corn in sandy soils . The land was sold by the heirs of the Predalve family in 1978 or 1979 and the land was zoned and developed commercial . A shopping center and related development now occupies the land . The south 1 of Section 2 , T5N , R66W ( Figure 1 ) has also been taken out of agriculture. This area is now residential . Only a small amount of land is still irrigated in the area. A small alfalfa field adjacent to the Ketler property on the west is presently being irrigated . In addition, a small alfalfa field to the east of the Ketler property is being irrigated . The amount of water applied to these fields is not known. According to Mr. Ketler, the water level rises in the two shallow wells north of the problem well whenever the field to the west is irrigated . The water level in the deep well has not responded to the application of irrigation water. These are the only known irrigation areas in the immediate vicinity of the Ketler well . Leonard Rice Consulting Water Engineers.Inc Mrs . Margaret W, .cer July 2 , 1982 Page 3 Hydrogeology The surficial geology in the area to the west of Greeley is complex. The surface is comprised of alluvial deposits and the Cretaceous Laramie Formation (Figure 1 ) . The surface in Sections 35 and 36 , T6N, R66W is comprised entirely of flood-plain deposits . These deposits consist primarily of sand and gravel with minor amounts of clays . Geologic logs from wells 78370 and 78858-A, located in the southeast corner of Section 35 , T6N , R66W indicate that the flood plain deposits are approximately 50 feet thick. One mile to the east , in the Southeast corner of Section 36 , the flood-plain deposit is approximately 25 feet thick, as indicated by the geologic log of well 19932 . The North i of Section 1 T5N , R66W is covered by flood-plain deposits and the South 1 with terrace deposits . Terrace deposits consist mainly of arkosic gravel and sand with frequent lenses of sandy clay . Terrace deposits between Fort Collins and Greeley rarely exceed 35 feet in thickness (Hershey, 1964) . To the southwest in Sections 2 and 11 , T5N, R66W the Laramie Formation forms the surface. This formation consists of silty lenticular sands , carbonaceous and gypsiferous shales and coals . The Laramie is non-resistant to erosion and , as such, is poorly exposed. The soils that develop on the Laramie are very sandy . This formation underlies the alluvial deposits throughout the area west of Greeley. It ranges from 60 to 400 feet in thickness . The top of the Laramie Formation is about 25 feet below the surface in the immediate vicinity of the Ketler well . This is indicated by the geology log of well 15830 which is located a few hundred feet to the southeast of the Ketler well . Here the Laramie consists mainly of interbedded sandstones and shales . The sandstone beds and the shale beds average about 3 to 6 feet in thickness . It is difficult to determine which aquifer the Ketler well and the Rody well are developed in because no geologic log exists for either well . However, based on the depths of both wells and the log of well 15830 , they are probably developed in the Laramie Formation. The Laramie yields small to moderate quantities of soft alkaline water to stock and domestic wells . Yields are primarily from the sandstone beds . Ground water in the alluvium and the Laramie Formation flows northeastward towards the Cache La Poudre River. This is shown by arrow on Figure 1 . This flow direction was found from plots of depth to water data contained in well permit records (Table 1 ) . Flow direction is also confirmed by the fact that the two shallow Ketler wells are affected by the application of irrigation water to the alfalfa field to the west . Both of the shallow wells are probably developed in the flood-plain deposits . Due to the lithology of the Laramie Leonard Rice Consulting Water Engineers.Inc. Mrs . Margaret W. .ter July 2 , 1'382 Page 4 Formation, it is unlikely that ground water in the overlying alluvium is a significant portion of the recharge to the lower Laramie Formation. Ground water contained in sandstone beds overlain by shale beds is probably under partial artesian pressure. The sandstone beds appear to be recharged primarily in the outcrop areas . The primary recharge sources for the alluvium and the Laramie Formation are percolation of applied irrigation water, seepage from canals and precipitation . Figure 2 is a schematic representation of the local hydrogeologic system. The recharge to the Laramie Formation occurs in the area indicated in Figure 2 . Ground water then flows northeast through the -Laramie Formation to discharge in the Cache La Poudre River. The Ketler well intercepts ground water enroute from the recharge area to the river. It is likely that the Ketler well tapped a sandstone aquifer that is under partial artesian pressure. However, this cannot be confirmed because no well records exist . Conclusions The Laramie Formation underlies the alluvium in the Greeley area . To the southwest of Greeley, in Sections 2 and 11 , T5N, R66W the Laramie forms the surface deposit . It is easily eroded at the surface and sandy soils are formed on top of it . Aquifers within the Laramie are recharged at the outcrop area . The primary recharge sources for the Laramie Formation are percolation of applied irrigation water, seepage from canals and precipitation. Land that is taken out of irrigation and developed as commercial property ceases to be a recharge area . This appears to be the problem with the Ketler well . Recharge to the Laramie in the vicinity of the Ketler well occurred where the formation intersected the land surface in Sections 2 and 11 , T5N , R66W . Recharge was cutoff by the commercial development of the property in 1979-80 and "downstream" wells began to dry up . The northeast 4 of Section 11 was taken out of irrigation and commercially developed in 1979-80 . This area has ceased to provide a recharge source to the Laramie Formation. The south 1/2 of Section 2 has been residentially developed and this area no longer provides a recharge source (Figure 1 ) . Both of these areas have been out of irrigtion for at least 32 years . The area in Section 2 was developed prior to the area in Section 11 . In addition, since the spillway has been installed along the east side of 35th Avenue between 10th Street and the Cache La Poudre, little runoff has been allowed to percolate into the ground water system. Leonard Rice Consulting Watet Engineers,Inc. Mrs . Margaret Wii,cer July 2 , 1982 Page 5 There is no evidence that the alluvial deposits which overlie the Laramie Formation are drying up. Wells in the area that are developed in the flood plain or terrace deposits are presently yielding water. Both of the shallow Ketler wells are yielding water. Drilling a new well into the alluvium might be a solution to Mr. Ketler ' s problem. However, a more detailed study of the local hydrogeologic system would be necessary to make that determination . The Flatiron pit is located in Section 36 to the northwest of the Ketler and Rody wells . Ground water flows from southwest to northeast in the area, as indicated on Figure 1 . Based on the information presented above , it seems unlikely that dewatering at the Flatiron pit could affect the Ketler well . Calculations indicate that the radius of the cone of influence created by dewatering the pit is about 1 ,650 feet . This is based on a drawdown of 10 feet and a hydraulic conductivity value of 250 gpd/ft . The Ketler well is about 3 ,600 feet to the southeast of the pit . This is well beyond the radius of influence of the pit . Based on the above information, it is our professional opinion that the Ketler and Rody wells dried up because the recharge area for the Laramie Formation to the southwest was eliminated. This occurred because the land was taken out of irrigation and commercially and residentially developed. The activities at the Flatiron pit had no effect on the Ketler or the Rody well .

CASE NUMBER: USR-513:82:38 APPLICANT: Bucklen Equipment Company REQUEST: A Use by Special Review Permit for a gravel pit operation LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Part of the SW1, Section 31 , T6N, R65W of the 6th P.M. , Weld County, Colorado LOCATON: North of Northwest "C" Street and west of Island Grove Park APPEARANCE: Richard Bucklen appeared on his own behalf. The Chairman asked Rod Allison to read the Department of Planning Services staff comments and the Operation Standards. Tape 97 - Side 2 The Chairman called for discussion from the audience. Jim Sophocles, Nancy Sophocles, Virginia Scheel, Dan Augustine, Dennie Brown surrounding property owners and Bryan Johnson, Fire Chief, Western Hill Fire Department appeared. Tape 98 - Side 1 Ruben Weiderspahn, Rita Lee, Mrs. Metzger, Gene Stilley and Irene Brown surrounding property owners appeared. NOTICE: Jerry Kiefer left the meeting at 3:40 p.m. MOTION•: Wilbur Wafel moved that the Planning Commission forward USR-513:82 :28 to the Board of County Commissioners with the recommendation for approval. He is in sympathy with these people. As he looks at the maps there is as much as two-hundred feet or more between them and the proposed gravel pit . He thinks that with the Development Standards,as outlined, that this can be a safe operation and the gravel is needed. He feels that most of the property owners appearing before the Planning Commission today agree with that premise. There are other gravel pits in the area so he does not feel it will change the neighborhood. This would include the added Development Standards (1/16) that states prior to starting excavation, a six (6) foot chain link fence with security barbed wired strands shall be set-up, maintained, and located in such a manner to fence, from the adjoining property owners, extraction phases 3,4,5 and the two water surfaces immediately east and west of the gravel operation. Motion seconded by Ed Reichert. Tape 98 - Side 2 Summary of the Weld County Planning Commission Meeting July 6, 1982 Page 5 The Chairman called for discussion from the members of the Planning Commission. Lengthy discussion followed. AMENDMENT: 111 Bill Diehl moved the security fence, as outlined in Development 1116 be amended to read the fence be erected around the entire property. Motion seconded by Bette Kountz. AMENDMENT: 112 Fred Otis stated he was concerned about the firearms. He proposed there be an operation standard that prevents any type of firearms from being discharged on the property. This could be posting the property that no firearms be allowed. Bette Kountz seconded the amendment. Discussion followed concerning what fencing the entire property would entail. Bill Diehl withdrew his motion concerning fencing the entire property. Bette Kountz withdrew her second. The Chairman asked the secretary to poll the members of the Planning Commission for their decision regarding Amendment #2, regarding firearms. Wilbur Wafel - yes; Bette Kountz - yes; Ed Reichert - yes; Bill Diehl - no because he does not feel he will be able to control the firearms unless there is a complete fence around the property. Fred Otis - yes. Motion seconded by unanimous decision. The Chairman asked the secretary to poll the members of the Planning Commission for their decision regarding the original motion. Wilbur Wafel - yes. In regard to the chain link fence, if anybody was to go around the countryside where he travels, most gravel pits and mined areas that are fenced are fenced with chain link fences rather than privacy fences and they are for security purposes and this is an accepeted method of securing a piece of property. Therefore, that is his reason for making his motion read a chain link fence. Bette Kountz - yes; Ed Reichert - yes; Bill Diehl - yes; Fred Otis - yes; However, he would like his specific comments to the County Commissioners to state he would prefer there be a privacy fence to screen the unsightly gravel pit from the residential area. He feels this is as important as security and if it is well maintained it should do that. So he favors the motion generally, but he prefers there be a privacy fence.

Enclosed Legal Description, Deed aid Surrey. EXHIBIT B INDEX MAP Drawing #1. EXHIBIT C PREAIINIITG & D EXCAVATION PLAN Drawing #2. Mining Method: Dewatering, dragline excavation. Water -liversion, impoundment settling pond and outlet as indicated by arrows on nap. Major disturbance. One to four years estimated for each of five phases. The first four phases of four to six acres each and the fifth phase one acre, contingent on the status at that given time of the Donner lease. Purchase agreement states Charles or Tillie Dormer shall hold lease as long as they have residence on p_m perty. Residential zoning line diagonally splits the property including mobile home area located in the southwest corner. Grading of bank to expected water line will be at a 3;1 ratio. Mining production rate will be closely related to demand and volume of sales as dictated by the economy. Enclosed Donner Lease Agreement, Weld County Zoning Map and Aerial Map. EXHIBIT E & F RECLAMATION PLAN Drawing #3. At completion of excavation, affected area shall be merged with existing water ponds thus forming one larger pond. Average bank elevation 4657 to water surface 4648.5 is 8z feet. This sloping bank will be topsoiled for natural seeding of sand dropseed, cheatgrass and witchgrass that permiates the present area. During past years elm and cottonwood trees have randonlly seeded themselves on the banks of the other existing water ponds. Primary use for private recreation and fish and wildlife habitation. L- (- EXHIBIT G WATER INFORMATION Wet mine will directly affect surface of ground water systems. Dewatering operations cause northeast flow. In 1975 when the pond behind the office was reexcavated, a neiboring well primarily used for cattle and irrigation purposes had to be deepened. However the particular site of this proposed excavation is not expected to have any effect on that well. Water flow rate: 1500 gallons per minute at beginning of excavation to 4,000 gallons per minute at end of excavation period. Annual volumes: 10 MGD. National Pollutant Discharge Elimination Systems (NPDES) #C0-0001376 currently on inactive status per letter April 29, 1981 Gary Broetsman Director Water Quality Control Division. EXHIBIT H WILDLIFE INFORMATION COpenland and wetland wildlife. Native pheasant and duck. Population very sparce with no endangered species. Openland mostly consists of rodent and insects. Surrounding water ponds provide an occasional landing of water- fowl, however not sustained for more than a day or two. We have donated the use of three of our ponds to Colorado State University, Department of Fishery & Wildlife Biology, Professor and chairman Steven A. Flickinger for their three year uartisapation in a Federal research study on'largenouth bass. We have expressed our desire to cooperate in this project and others extending into the future. The operations of this proposed pit is not expected to interfer with this ongoing research project.

Proposed nine would add two trucks moving from excavation area to crusher and wash plant site within the boundry of the property. Current movement of mobile equipment would continue stockpiling aggregate and delivery of product to public. With the decline in volume of sales during the past two years, truck traffic has been reduced substanially. In renewing production we estimate an increase of traffics however it will not equal the high volume of the year 1979. With approval of this permit we welcome the cpportmity and responsibility of manufacturing a quality product for our community in leau of purchasing some rock for resale and selling sand from our depleating stockpile. OPERATION POLICIES No excavation or processing of sand and gravel nearer than.10 feet to the boundry of adjacent property nor nearer than 125 feet to any existing residence. Operation shall be conducted during the hours of daylight except in case of public or private emergency, or to make necessary repairs to equipment. Weeds shall be cut or trimmed as may be necessary to preserve a reasonably neat appearance and to prevent seeding on adjoining property. Noise level is not expected to exceed prior operations in the years between 1958 to 1979. Dust will be controlled through the use of a water truck as is currently provided on roads around the office and entrance to the business. Property has barb wire fence surrounding except for boundry of the Cashe La Poudre river. Locked gate on dead end North 21st Avenue. Entrance gates closed on North 25th Avenue after business hours and on weekends. Property insurance currently under Flood & Peterson, Northern Insurance Company. Policy dates 7-1-81 to 7-1-82.

Richard Bucklin P.O. Box 1052 Greeley, CO 80631 Dear Mrs . Bucklin: I wish to thank you for the generous permission that you have given C my graduate student, Jim Satterfield, to use your gravel-pit ponds for research on largemouth bass and black crappie. The interest you have shown in the outcome and the free rein that you have given Jim in the use of your ponds makes this an extremely valuable resource to the fishery program at Colorado State University. My intent will be for Jim to work on stocking combinations with an evaluation at first spawning of stocked fish . Then I hope to have a second student work with you on fishing regulations to maintain a balanced community of fish. Any new ponds that you might dig and want to similarly donate to fishery research would be valuable to my long range goal of learning enough about fish management in gravel pit ponds to write an. extension bulletin that would be available to anyone wanting recreational fishing in gravel pit ponds .

Inc. 804 N. 25th Ave. Greeley, CO. 80631 Dear Mrs. Bucklen: The following is information which you requested regarding existing soil and vegetative composition on a proposed sand and gravel pit located in the Wi SW4 Sec. 31, T 6 North, R 65 West, Weld Co. , Colorado. The soils at this site consist primarily of aquolls and aquents with a gravelly subsurface located at approximately 48 inches of depth. The surface texture of these soils varies from loam to clay and is character- ized by very poor drainage qualities. This often results in a build-up of Calkaline salts at or near the soil surface. Existing vegetation consists, for the most part, of primary succession weeds dominated by kochia and russian thistle, as well as primary and secondary succession grasses such as cheatgrass, stinkgrass, and sand dropseed. A full list of plants found on the site and the subsequent range condition can be found on the attached CO-ECS-1, Range Condition Inventory. Production on the site is approximately 450 lbs. of air dry ,forage per acre per year compared to possible production figures of 2500 to 3000 lbs. per acre per year if the site were in good or excellent condition. If I can be of any further assistance, please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, Alan R.
