Subject: USR-672, Challenger Gravel Pit, located in portions of the NW'/a and portions of the
NE Vi SW% of Section 29, TSN, R67W of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado
Dear Mr. Tuttle:
Thank you for your letter dated April 9, 1997. The Department of Planning Services staff reviewed
your request to change the Road Maintenance and Improvement Agreement between Al Challenger and
the Weld County Public Works Department. The new agreement proposes to amend the original
agreement to allow hauling onto Weld County Road 151/2. Currently the permit only allows for hauling
onto Weld County Road 54. The resolution for USR-672 was approved by the Board of County
Commissioners on May 15, 1985. In the resolution, Operation Standard #3 states the following:
All trucks directly involved with extraction of sand and gravel shall ingress and egress onto
Weld County Road 54 as shown on the submitted Use by Special Review plat unless
coordinated with the adjacent land owners. The haul route shall be primarily from the point
of ingress and egress west to I-25.
In order to amend the special use permit administratively the applicant shall submit written evidence
to the Department of Planning Services for review and approval that all adjacent property owners are
agreeable with the proposed change to the haul route. If the applicant is unable to provide this

information the special use permit will need to be resubmitted for review and approval by the Weld
County Planning Department, Planning Commission and Board of County Commissioners to amend
the haul route.
If you have any questions please call me.
Sincerely,

RE: Challenger Pit Road Agreement
Dear Shani:
Recently you received a copy of a Road Maintenance & Improvement Agreement drafted
between Al Challenger and Weld County Public Works. This Agreement amends the
original Agreement done in 1985 to allow hauling on Weld County Road 151/2. The
hauling on this road will allow material removal and facilitate the correction of a Section
404 violation in this area. Coulson Excavating wishes to begin removal of stockpiled
material prior to the spring flows in the Big Thompson River.
We request this change in the haul route be considered as minor for the following reasons:
• Use of Weld County Road 15/ is temporary and will be only for the transport of
materials for the southern part of Phase 2.
• The terms of the Agreement are worked out with the Public Works Department to
insure safety, road capacity, and dust control.
We ask that you not require any approval by the Planning Commission or the Board of
County Commissioners because of the minor nature of this change.
With this letter I have enclosed a copy of the Colorado Wastewater Discharge Permit. You
will note that Western Mobile originally received the permit and it has been transferred to
Coulson Excavating.
Also your letter noted a need for a Floodplain Development Permit. Previously we
requested this permit be delayed until we hear back from the.Corps of Engineers office in
Omaha. Their recommendations may result in a reconfiguration of some aspects of the
mining plan. Please be assured we have no intention of ignoring your requirements for a
Floodplain Development Permit.

2. Classification: Recreation, Class 2

3. Numeric Standards: The standards which have been assigned in
accordance with the above classifications
can be found in 3.8.0 Classification and
Numeric Standards for the South Platte
River Basin, Laramie River Basin,
Republican Basin, Smoky Hill River Basin (5
CCR 1002-8) , as amended March 1, 1992. It
should be noted that this facility does not
discharge pollutants which are limited by
water quality standards with the exception
of pH.
IV. FACILITY INFORMATION:
The facility did not report, in 'the permit application, any modifications
to the facility since the issuance of the last permit. A description of
the facility, wastewater sources, discharge point(s) and treatment
received by the wastewater is identified in a previous certification.

V. ANTIDEGRADATION:
These are not reviewable waters pursuant to Section 3.1.8(3)(a) of the
Basic Standards and Methodologies for Surface Water (5 CCR 1002-2) , based
on a finding of no increased water quality impact.
VI. DISCUSSION:
Applicable effluent limitations and monitoring requirements regarding
active mining outfalls are addressed in Part I.B. (1-4) of the general
permit.
Total dissolved solids monitoring of the discharge shall not be required.
Total phosphorus monitoring shall not be required. See Part I.B.3. of the
general permit and Part V.A. of the rationale for more information.
The permittee will be required to develop and implement a Storm Water
Management Plan (SWMP) . The plan shall identify potential sources of
pollution (including sediment) which may reasonably be expected to affect
the quality of stormwater discharges associated with the mining activity.
In addition, the plan shall describe and ensure the implementation of best
management practices (BMPs) which will be used to reduce the pollutants in
stormwater discharges associated with mining activity. Although some
activities may already be in place, the SWMP will require the ,permittee to
coordinate best management practices so the result is the reduction or
elimination of pollutants reaching state waters from areas not limited by
effluent limitations. Significant changes in the permittee's mining or
stormwater management practices may require coordination with the Colorado
Division of Minerals and Geology (CDMG) (formerly CMLRD) regarding the
facility's mining permit. For specifics of the Plan and additional
requirements, see Part I.C. of the general permit.
VII. SPECIFIC INFORMATION OF CONCERN TO THE PERMITTEE:
The Permittee is encouraged to read the general rationale for an
understanding of how the general permit was developed and to read the
permit itself to see what requirements exist. Effluent limitations and
monitoring requirements are specified in Part I.B. , and special
notification requirements for effluent violations are addressed in Part
II .A.3.
