Consistency with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan This application is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. The mining operation will promote the following goals and policies: • CM.Policy 1: Access to future mineral resource development areas should be considered in all land-use decisions in accordance with Colorado State Law. No Weld County governmental authority which has control over zoning shall . . . permit the use of any area known to contain a commercial mineral deposit in a manner which would interfere with the present or future extraction of such deposit by an extractor. This property is situated within one of the principal aggregate deposits in the County. According to the County Sand, Gravel Resources Map, the resource is classified as F 1 - floodplain deposit of relatively clean and sound gravel. • CM.Goal 2: Promote the reasonable and orderly development of mineral resources. • CM.Goal 3: Minimize the impact of surface mining on surrounding land uses, roads and highways. The operator will minimize the impact of the mining operation by surrounding the mining area with topsoil and overburden berms, watering the haul roads and stockpiles as necessary to control dust and by mining and reclaiming the site concurrently to limit the area of disturbance. • CM.Goal 4: Minimize hazardous conditions related to mining activities and the mining site. The applicant will comply with all federal, state and local regulations. • CM.Goal 5: Provide for timely reclamation and reuse of mining sites in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan, Subdivision and Zoning Ordinances.

The surrounding land uses to the immediate west and north are primarily agricultural - there is crop land, pasture land and several rural residences. There is a Safeway store under construction east of the property. Hall-Irwin's La Poudre operation is adjacent to the parcel's southern boundary. This amendment will not increase the amount of traffic in the vicinity of the site, nor will it bring the need for additional housing or support services to the area. Compatibility with the surrounding uses will be assured by setbacks, noise limitations and other restrictions on the operation. Employees The applicant anticipates there will be a maximum of two shifts and 12 employees working on the site.

This information is according to flood insurance map panel number 080266 0605 D, dated September 27, 1991. Dust Abatement Plan A dust abatement plan is attached. Please forward a copy to the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment. Truck Traffic This operation will not generate any additional truck traffic. All materials will be transported across the site to the La Poudre site's processing area. No traffic will access public roads via this property.
