District 3 Dear Ms. Dunn: We have reviewed the above referenced proposal for a sand and gravel mining operation on a parcel of about 6.5 acres. The applicant plans to proceed with the mining in four phases, A, B, C, and D. The reclamation plan for the property is to create a pond for use as a amenity for residential lots. There will be a maximum of 10 employees. No information was provided on the amount of water that may be required during the mining operation nor to replace evaporative depletions from the pond at the end of mining. The applicant's consultant is in the process of generating a substitute supply plan for submittal to the State Engineer for approval. We have no objection to the mining operation as long as no groundwater will be exposed before the substitute supply plan is approved by the State Engineer, and the required well permit is obtained. If you have any questions in this matter, please contact me. Sincerely, Jots, 5 CAA/ John Schurer, P.E.

TJ/cs-1392 962133 tz''f , mEmoRAnDum \ D, Gloria Dunn, Current Planner %eptemberl6, I\945 To Date COLORADO From Don Carroll, Project Coordinator '� dy Subject: USR-1095, Odenbaugh, Stanley and Shirley On September 6, 1995, I visited the site and have the following comments: This will be a small mining operation set up in four phases over an eight year period. The approximate size of the facility will be 6.6 acres more or less. The primary haul route will be south on WCR 23, which is a gravel road approximately one-half mile to the intersection of WCR 32.5. From that point either west on the pavement to State Hwy 66 or east staying on the pavement to US Hwy 85. The applicant needs to enter into a road maintenance agreement with Weld County on providing adequate dust control in front of the residence on WCR 23 to minimize complaints. Also, any excessive hauling causing soft spots, rutting, and loss of gravel on the haul route needs to be addressed in the agreement. On WCR 32.5, Bridge 32.5/23A is a restricted bridge rated 17-27-28. Do not route your trucks over this bridge if they exceed the weight limit. Legal loads may be routed in the westerly directly to State Hwy 66, if needed. cc: Commissioner Webster USR-1095 file plan5.dc 962133 STATE OF COLORADO REFER TO: Roy Romer, Governor DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES Gor tla DIVISION OF WILDLIFE f AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER Perry D.

The application was reviewed by Division personnel and an inspection was made of the site. Our comments are included in this letter. The site has been used as a storage area for old farm equipment. The soils are gravelly, and of poor quality. There is a shallow depression on site with a sparse stand of cottonwood and willow species. In essence the site, as it now stands is of relatively low value for wildlife. Mining activity will, therefore, have little impact on wildlife. On completion of mining the site will be reclaimed to include a pond of several acres in size. If the reclamation process creates a pond with shallow ( 3 : 1 slope or less) , irregularly shaped shoreline, island/s, irregular bottom contours and shallow loafing areas, this site should have enhanced wildlife values over what exists now. Habitat biologists from the Division would be anxious to work with the Odenbaughs to create a reclamation plan that will maximize this site for wildlife and recreation. In summary, the Division finds no conflict with this plan. We will be available to assist your agency or the operators as needed in providing ideas that will benifit wildlife on this site. Thank you for allowing us to review this document. We look forward to working with you in the future.

Odenbaugh Gravel Pit located in the Southwest '4 of Section 12, Township 3 North, Range 67 West, Weld County, Colorado. The project has been reviewed in accordance with Section 404 of the Clean Water Act under which the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regulates the excavation and discharge of dredged and fill material into waters of the United States including wetlands. This letter is to inform you that the proposed activity, assigned number 199580842, will not require a Department of the Army (DA) Permit. Although a DA Permit will not be required for the project, this does not eliminate the requirement that other applicable federal, state, tribal, and local permits be obtained as required. If there are any questions concerning this matter, please feel free to contact Mr. Terry McKee of this office at 303-979-4120. Sincerely, ktkub k( Timothy T. Carey u Project Manager 962133 Hello
