COLORADO RECEIVED
The Weld County Public Works Department has reviewed this proposal; this project falls primarily under the
purview of the Use by Special Review Standards. Our comments and requirements are as follows:
COMMENTS:
WCR 26 is designated on the Southwest Study Area Capacity Improvement Needs as a paved rural road, which
requires a 60-foot right-of-way at full build out. There is presently a 60-foot right-of-way. This road is maintained
by Weld County. Pursuant to the definition of SETBACK in the Weld County Zoning Ordinance (Ordinance 89,
as amended), the required setback is measured from the future right-of-way line.
The average daily traffic count taken on WCR 26 reflects 155 vehicles in a 24-hour period. It was taken August
10, 1999.
WCR 13 is identified on the Weld County Transportation Plan Map as an arterial status road,which requires a 100-
,—foot right-of-way at full build out. There is presently a 60-foot right-of-way. This road is maintained by Weld
3ounty, and it is approximately/ mile west of the proposed site.
The average daily traffic count for WCR 13 reflects 1,897 vehicles in a 24-hour period. The count was taken May
20, 1996.
The applicant is proposing 138 tractor-trailer or tandem truck loads per day from the facility and employs 25-30
people that would utilize the site with 15 employees on site.
REQUIREMENTS:
Traffic Impact Study: All new commercial developments with expected ADT> 200 will be required to submit a
traffic study as a part of the review process. This study shall include a description of the project; vehicle traffic
generation and distribution;verification of adequate acceleration,deceleration,and storage facilities at all impacted
intersections; review of bridge capability; intersection levels of service analysis for existing and proposed
conditions; and recommendation for needed upgrades to the transportation infrastructure to support the
development.
Improvements Agreement: The applicant shall enter into an Improvements Agreement for the upgrade and
paving of WCR 26 from the pit entrance west to WCR 13 and any additional intersection improvements associated
with the heavy hauling that may be identified in the traffic study.
Set Backs: The set back to a mining operation is measured from a future right-of-way line plus the standard set
back of 20 feet in an agricultural zoned area to the edge of the gravel pit berm, which is considered a structure.
WCR 26 is considered a permanent man-made structure. The State requires a sign-off from the County as we
are in the 200-feet requirement from the proposed gravel pit operation. The applicant shall supply adequate
documentation to verify sign-off.

Off Street Parking: The off street parking spaces at the main office parking lot including the access drive shall
be surfaced with asphalt, concrete, or the equivalent. It shall be graded to prevent drainage problems. There is
adequate sight distance in both directions at the proposed access point.
Surface Water: Prior to any discharge associated with the St.Vrain River,the operator will obtain permission from
the ditch companies to allow them to utilize the ditch to convey discharge water from the facility to the St. Vrain
River. The applicant should identify on the mining plat any appropriate discharge points. The Town of Firestone
is identifying a 20-foot storm water easement associated with the Oak Meadows PUD. Appropriate set backs from
the drainage easement shall be enforced. The applicant shall place on the Mylar any discharge points associated
with the dewatering of both mining operations.
French Pit: The applicant has indicated that the access to the French Pit is for the loader and miscellaneous
equipment to mine the operation. A conveyor system will convey mined product across multiple ditches and
utilities to the Lohmann Pit where the processing plant will be set up. No direct hauling of material will be allowed
from the French Pit access, or additional paving shall be required on WCR 26.

Memorandum
TO: Sheri Lockman, Department of Planning
Services
CDATE: April 2, 2001
COLORADO FROM: Char Davis, Environmental Health
Services
SUBJECT: USR-1326, Lohmann Sand and
Gravel Mine
Environmental Health Services has reviewed this proposal for a open cut gravel mining along
with a concrete batch plan. We have no objections to the proposal, however, in reviewing the
application we have 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 facility plans to operate at this location for at least 10 years, thus we believe a
permanent water supply, i.e. well, community system, etc. is more appropriate to serve the
sanitary needs of the staff and visitors to the facility.
In addition, according to Alex Schatz from Banks and Gesso, a vehicle maintenance shop will
not be located on the property. Should the applicant decide that a vehicle maintenance shop will
be located on the site a new review of the application will be required by the Weld County
Department of Public Health and Environment.
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.
7 2. Submit a dust abatement plan to the Environmental Health Services, Weld County
Department of Public Health& Environment, for approval prior to operation.
3. All septic systems located on the property shall have appropriate permits from the Weld
County Department of Public Health& Environment. The Environmental Health
Division of the Weld County Department of Public Health& Environment was unable to
allMa locate a septic permit for the septic system serving the existing residential structure on the
property. Any existing septic system which is not currently permitted through the Weld
m County Department of Public Health& Environment will require an I.S.D.S. Evaluation
x prior to the issuance of the required septic permit. In the event the system is found to be
= inadequate, the system must be brought into compliance with current I.S.D.S. regulations.

4. An individual sewage disposal system is required for the proposed office/scale facility
and shall be installed according to the Weld County Individual Sewage Disposal

discharge permits from the Water Quality Control Division of the Colorado Department
of Health.

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.
8. The applicant shall provide evidence that any vehicle washing area will be designed and
constructed to capture all effluent and prevent any discharges from drum washing and the
washing of vehicles in accordance with the Rules and Regulations of the Water Quality
Control Commission and the Environmental Protection Agency.
/ 9. 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:

shall have sufficient equipment available to implement appropriate dust control.
Additional control measures shall be implemented as required by the Weld County Health
Officer.
