Mr. Kim Ogle State Engineer Weld County Planning Department RECEIVED 918 10th Street Greeley Co 80631 Re: Loveland Ready Mix (Green/Croissant Pit) Special Use-USR 1329 Section 30, T5N, R67W, 6th P.M. Water Division 1, Water District 4 Dear Mr. Ogle: This referral does not appear to qualify as a "subdivision" as defined in Section 30- 28-101(10)(a), C.R.S. Therefore, 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. This referral is for a site specific development plan and use by special review for a sand and gravel mining operation. The mining operation is identified as Green/Croissant Sand and Gravel Mine Pit. Loveland Ready Mix (LRM) currently operates the site under the USR-1329 and Division of Mineral and Geology reclamation permit#M2001-022. The subject property consists of approximately 227 acres, of which only 68 acres are to be mined. LRM proposes to import sand and gravel aggregates from the proposed Walters/Bokelman pit and transport it to the Green/Croissant site for processing. Please note that, as required by C.R.S. §37-90-137(11), gravel pits that exposed ground water to the atmosphere after December 31, 1980 need to replace all out-of- priority depletions of ground water. In addition, according to the State Engineer's "General Guidelines for Substitute Water Supply Plans for Sand and Gravel Pits", any excavation that intercepts groundwater must also consider the water consumption by the gravel operation including, but not limited to dust control and water removed with the mined product. From previous experience, 4 percent of the product mined (any product excavated below the groundwater table or any product excavated above the ground water table and washed) by weight is water. According to our records, on July 13, 2005 the State Engineer's Office approved a temporary substitute water supply plan ("SWSP") for the Green/Croissant site. Also a well (gravel pit) permit was approved for this site under permit no. 60263-F. With the proposed amendment, if sand and gravel aggregate from the Walters/Bokelman pit will be processed at the Green/Croissant site, the applicant will need to ensure the water consumption by the gravel operation at the Green/Croissant and Walters/Bokelman pits is included in the SWSP approved for the Green/Croissant site. The applicant will need to amend its SWSP if the proposed uses are not included in the current SWSP for the EXHIBIT 1 0 Weld County Planning Department Green/Croissant-Special Review(amendment) Green/Croissant pit. If ground water is exposed at the Walters/Bokelman pit, the applicant must obtain a well permit in accordance with C.R.S. §37-90-137(2). If you have any question in this matter please contact loana Comaniciu of this office. Sincerely, Je Deatherage, P.E.
