Open cut gravel mining operation at the SE 1/4 of Section 13, Township
1 North, Range 67 West of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado
My name is Jean Robbins and I live at 2876 W.C.R. 23,Fort Lupton, CO. Since my
husband passed away in July of 1999, I now own this 80 acre farm on the S.E. corner of
Rd. 8&Rd. 23. The east end of my place is across Rd. 8 from the west end of the land
to be developed into an open cut Mining Operation by Golden's Andesite Mining
Company.
I do have concerns having this gravel operation so close to my property. At the last
meeting at the Department of Planning Services on September 21, 1999, (which I
attended), there was a plan to pave Rd. 8 from the entrance to the gravel pit east to
Highway 85 because the trucks would be using this road. My concern is if some of the
trucks go west on Rd. 8 to I 25. This part of road 8 is not scheduled to be paved at this
time. If the trucks do go west,this would create a lot of dust which would be a problem
for the crops on my place.
The other concern is the noise of a 24 hour operation at the gravel pit. Another concern
is the added truck traffic on Rd. 8, and also if there is a long enough turn-on lane to Hwy.
85. I understand there are plans for a traffic light on Rd. 8 and Hwy. 85 which would be
greatly needed because it is already a busy corner.
If my husband were alive he would be able to express these concerns better than I can,
but I do hope they will be addressed, since 1 will not be able to attend this meeting,
Sincerely,
,
Jean Robbins

GROUNDWATER MONITORING AND POTENTIAL RECHARGE PROGRAM
LEWIS FARMS SAND AND GRAVEL MINE, USR-1243
Groundwater Monitoring
1. Applicant will install the eight groundwater observation wells, within 30 days
of USR approval, on the project site, at the locations shown on the attached
map. These wells will provide a baseline of groundwater depths/elevations in
the area before mining, and during de-watering operations.
2. Applicant will begin monthly groundwater measurements of these wells after
installation, and continue until the end of the reclamation process.
3. Applicant agrees to measure the shallow wells indicated on the attached map
monthly, with the well owners permission, assuming reasonable access for
measurement physically exists at each well facility.
4. Applicant will also monitor the water elevation of the small lake on the Norden
property, just south of WCR 8, near the southwest corner of the mine.
5. Groundwater records will be maintained in the on-site office, and available for
public review during normal business hours.
Potential Recharge Program
1. Based on the groundwater measurements, the Applicant agrees to notify any
well owner of significant groundwater drops due to mining, that may affect the
performance of that well. The intent is to notify the neighbor in advance of a
potential problem, and begin working together on a solution.
2. The Applicant agrees to mitigate the temporary effects of the de-watering
operations on the subject well, using reasonable and cost-effective methods.
3. Mitigation techniques may include providing potable water if required for a
household well, construction of a recharge facility and conveying water to it,
altering the mining and reclamation sequence in that particular area of the
site, etc. Since the solutions tend to be unique to each well location, the
Applicant prefers to reserve some flexibility in selecting the mitigation
technique to be implemented.
