Our comments and requirements are as follows: COMMENTS: WCR 16.5 and WCR 3.25 are both designated on the Southwest Study Area Capacity Improvement Needs as paved rural roads, which require a 60-foot of right-of-way at full build out. There is presently a 60-foot right-of- way. These roads are maintained by Weld County. Pursuant to the definition of SETBACK in the Weld County Code, Chapter 23,Article III,Section 23-3-50,the required setback is measured from the future right-of-way line. Traffic Counts: The Average Daily Traffic Count(ADT)for WCR 16.5 is 187 vehicles,taken in a 24-hour period on March 30, 2001. WCR 3.25 has an ADT of 236 vehicles, taken December 12, 2000. The ADT for the State Highway (SH) 52 at the intersection of WCR 3.25 reflects 12,400 vehicles, taken in 1995. REQUIREMENTS: Setbacks: Setbacks to a mining operation are measured from the future right-of-way line plus the standard setback of 20 feet in an agricultural zone to the edge of the gravel pit berms, which are considered a structure. Traffic Impact Study: Staff has determined that no traffic impact study will be required at this site, as the applicant is transporting the material across the road or by conveyor belt to the processing area. Weld County Public Works Department is requesting a detailed drawing of the truck crossing location including distance from the intersection,width of the crossing, the type of crossing (gravel or pavement), and appropriate signing. All items must be reviewed and approved by our traffic engineer. Improvements Agreement: There is an existing Improvements Agreement with the Flatirons/La Farge Company on the designated haul route (3.25) from the intersection of 16.5 south to SH 52, which is being identified as the haul route for the proposed USR. This agreement was drafted and approved in 1981. La Farge Corporation is responsible for any repairs necessary to the designated haul route. The County is responsible for routine maintenance at this location. Weld County Public Works Department evaluates the haul routes in the Rinn area with La Farge and additional haulers once a year to determine if repairs are needed to these haul routes. Storm Water Drainage: The applicant is indicating that the storm water drainage will be directed into the excavation pits, which will serve as the storm water detention basin. Any discharging from the pit areas would require a state discharge permit. The Weld County Public Works Department recommends approval of this application. cc: File Weld County Planning Dept.Diane Houghtaling, P.E., Traffic Engineer EXHIBIT PlanlOusrwpd ,JUL 1 3 2001 19 RECEIVED APPENDIX B WELD COUNTY ROAD ACCESS INFORMATION SHEET Weld County Public Works Department Date:May 1 5,2001 1111 H Street,P.O.Box 758, Greeley,CO 80632 Phone: (970)356-4000,Ext.3750 Fax: (970)304-6497 I.

JUL 1 3 2001 Memorandu*cEIvED TO: Julie Chester, Department of Planning Services ' DATE: July 13, 2001 COLORADO. FROM: Charlotte Davis, Environmental Health Services SUBJECT: USR-1346, Western Mobile, Inc.Nirginia Shaw Environmental Health Services has reviewed this proposal for an open pit sand and gravel mining operation. We have no objections to the proposal, however, in reviewing the application we observed that the applicant is proposing bottled water as the facility's source of water. We do not believe that bottled water is an"adequate" source of water for this type of operation. The gravel mining operation plans to be at this location for at least 3 years. Because handwashing is the single most important step to stopping the spread of infection we believe a permanent water supply, i.e. community system, well, etc. is a necessity. However, should the Planning Commission decide that a permanent Individual Sewage Disposal System/handwashing facility is not necessary, we would propose that a vault system with a temporary handwashing set-up (container with warm water, an on/off spigot, soap and paper towels) would better serve the sanitary needs of the staff. We recommend that the following requirements be met prior to allowing the plat to be recorded: 1. Submit an Air Pollution Emission Notice (A.P.E.N.) and Emissions Permit application to the Air Pollution Control Division, Colorado Department of Health and Environment for emissions of criteria, hazardous or odorous air pollutants. 2. Submit a dust abatement plan to the Environmental Health Services, Weld County Department of Public Health & Environment, for approval prior to operation. 3. If applicable, a NPDES Permit shall be obtained from the Water Quality Control Division of the Colorado Department of Health for any proposed discharge into State Waterways. 4. In accordance with the Above Ground Storage Tank Regulations (7 CCR 1101-14) a spillage retention berm shall be constructed around the tank battery. The volume retained by the spillage berm should be greater than the volume of the largest tank inside the berm. Alternative protective measures may be allowed provided they comply with the Above Ground Storage Tank Regulations. 5. The applicant shall provide evidence that the facility has an adequate water supply. (i.e., well or community water system) EXHIBIT USR-1346 Western Mobile Inc./Shaw Page 2 5. An individual sewage disposal system is required for the proposed facility and shall be installed according the Weld County Individual Sewage Disposal Regulations. The septic system is required to be designed by a Colorado Registered Professional Engineer according to the Weld County Individual Sewage Disposal Regulations. The installation of the septic system shall comply with the Weld County I.S.D.S. flood plain policy. Because this use is temporary, a vault system would be considered adequate. 6. The applicant shall submit a waste handling plan, for approval, to the Environmental Health Services Division of the Weld County Department of Public Health& Environment. The plan shall include at a minimum, the following: 1) A list of wastes which are expected to be generated on site(this should include expected volumes and types of waste generated). 2) A list of the type and volume of chemicals expected to be stored on site. 3) The waste handler and facility where the waste will be disposed (including the facility name, address, and phone number). We recommend that the following requirements be incorporated into the permit as "development standards": 1. The facility shall operate in accordance with the approved dust control plan. The facility shall have sufficient equipment available to implement appropriate dust control. Additional control measures shall be implemented as required by the Weld County Health Officer. 2. All liquid and solid wastes (as defined in the Solid Wastes Disposal Sites and Facilities Act, 30-20-100.5, C.R.S., as amended) shall be stored and removed for final disposal in a manner that protects against surface and groundwater contamination. 3. No permanent disposal of wastes shall be permitted at this site. This is not meant to include those wastes specifically excluded from the definition of a"solid waste" in the Solid Wastes Disposal Sites and Facilities Act, 30-20-100.5, C.R.S., as amended. 4. Waste materials shall be handled, stored, and disposed in a manner that controls fugitive dust, blowing debris, and other potential nuisance conditions. 5. Fugitive dust shall be controlled on this site. 6. This facility shall adhere to the maximum permissible noise levels allowed in the Industrial Zone as delineated in 25-12-103 C.R.S., as amended. 7. The applicant shall remove, handle, and stockpile overburden, soil, sand and gravel from the facility area in a manner that will prevent nuisance conditions. USR-1346 Western Mobile Inc./Shaw Page 3 8. If applicable, the applicant shall obtain a stormwater discharge permit from the Colorado Department of Public Health& Environment, Water Quality Control Division. 9. The operation shall comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology. 10. All fuel tanks, septic tanks, temporary buildings, and any other hazardous items that might wash away during flooding shall be securely anchored and adequately flood proofed to avoid creation of a health hazard. 11. Adequate handwashing and toilet facilities shall be provided for employees. 12. The operation shall comply with the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA). 13. The operation shall comply with the Mine Safety and Health Act (MSHA). 14. Portable toilets may be utilized on sites that are temporary locations of the working face and portable processing equipment, etc. for up to six months at each location.
