The purpose of this letter is to discuss WMI's desire to construct a low water crossing of the St. Vrain River and to also install a conveyor across the river beginning this fall. WMI would like to know what approvals will be required from Weld County in order to construct the desired river crossings. For the past few years WMI has been mining sand and gravel from an area known as the Hamm pit which is a 210 acre parcel of land lying on either side of the St. Vrain River immediately north of state highway 119 in southwest Weld County. To date, mining activities have been concentrated on the east side of the St. Vrain; However,in the near future WMI will begin mining sand and gravel from the west side of the river and transporting the aggregate to the east side for processing. The Hamm pit was originally permitted by Frontier Materials Company in 1987. Under the Approved special use permit from Weld County,Frontier proposed to construct a bridge over the St. Vrain and transport sand and gravel by haul vehicle from the west side of the river to the east side. After operating in the Hamm pit for the past few years, WMI has concluded that the west side of the pit can be mined more efficiently and with less environmental impact if conveyors are used to transport aggregate from the west pit to the plant on the east side. In order to accomplish this WMI proposes to construct a low water crossing for the periodic movement of heavy equipment and to install a conveyor across the river to move the sand and gravel. The construction of the low-water crossing will consist of excavating both the east and west banks of the river in order to create a driveable slope down to the river channel. The crossing itself involves the placement of a minor amount of washed gravel onto the river channel bottom in order to create a driveable, underwater surface. The crossing is a temporary feature that will be used during WMI's mining and reclamation activities on the west side of the river. The crossing will be used on a limited basis (approximately 6 crossings per day)for heavy equipment only. WMI has previously met with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, at the Hamm pit,in order to determine their permit requirements for the low-water crossing under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (see enclosed 404 Permit application).

The trestles will elevate and support two conveyor sections totaling 160 feet that will span the river bank to bank. Along with this letter I have enclosed a construction drawing of the conveyor crossing design prepared by the civil engineering firm of Scott, Cox &Associates, Inc. of Boulder. To the best of my knowledge the installation and operation of the conveyor system will have minimal impact if any on the river. Once mining activities on the west side have been completed the conveyor and trestles will be removed. As with the low-water crossing the Corps of Engineers have been consulted(see enclosed letter). At the present time,WMI would like to begin installation of the conveyor crossing and low water crossing this fall. Therefore, I would greatly appreciate haring from you at your earliest convenience regarding how WMI should proceed with this project. Please let me know what additional information if any you need.

(WMI) of Boulder plans to install a belt conveyor crossing over the St. Vrain River at their Hamm pit sand an gravel operation in Weld County. The location of this crossing is in the southwest one quarter of the southeast one quarter of Section 4, township 2 north, range 68 west of the 6th p.m. in Weld County, Colorado (see enclosed map). The latitude of the crossing is 40° 09' 47" and the longitude is 105° 00' 26". The project at this site involves the installation of a temporary belt conveyor crossing over the Saint Vrain River. The conveyor will be used to transport excavated sand and gravel from WMI's mining operation on the west side of the river to the east side for processing. Once mining on the west side has been completed the conveyor crossing will be removed. The installation of the conveyor crossing involves the placement of three fabricated steel trestles one placed on either bank of the river and the third to be placed on an island located in the middle of the river.

The purpose of the field inspection was to discuss WMI's plans to construct a low water crossing of the St. Vrain River. The location of this crossing is in the southwest one quarter of Section 4, Township 2 North, Range 68 West of the 6th p.m. in Weld County (see vicinity map). The latitude of the crossing is 40° 90' 47" and the longitude is 105° 00' 26". The project at this site consists of constructing a service access road and a low- water crossing of the St. Vrain River. The total length of the service road on the east side of the river is approximately 330 feet with approximately 30 feet of roadway on the west side of the river. At the point of crossing the creek is approximately 110 feet wide. The construction of the road will disturb a few hundred square feet of wetlands. The construction of the low water crossing will consist of excavating both the east and west banks of the river in order to create a driveable slope down to the river channel. The crossing itself involves the placement of a minor amount of washed • gravel into the river channel bottom in order to create a driveable, underwater surface. The access road leading to the crossing on the east side will impact a few hundred square feet of wetlands that will be lost when the road is constructed. The total affected area is approximately 5,000 square feet of which 1,100 square feet is river channel and approximately 500 square feet is wetlands. The crossing is a temporary feature that will be used during WMI's sand and gravel mining activities on the west side of the river. Once all mining and reclamation activities have been completed on the west side of the river the crossing and access road will be reclaimed. Wetlands lost through the construction of the access road to and from the low water crossing will be mitigated through the mining and reclamation plan for the Hamm Pit which calls for the construction of a number of ponds for fish and waterfowl habitat (see enclosed). • P .
