Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. I am William Lewis. I live on my hay farm at 11446 CR 23, adjacent to the proposed gravel pit project SE of CR 23 24 junction. I oppose the project for 2 reasons: truck traffic, and change in the current residential environment. The project will exit to the dead end of 24 onto 23. This is a tight spot for traffic even now, with light traffic, mostly residential. The project will be miles from the nearest high volume highway. P assing will difficult and probably useless because one truck follows others. Basically the trucks will block the local roads that connect us to major roads. I have not seen such an extreme traffic situation at other sites. This will be very bad for residents who must commute to work daily. I think that it is unreasonable. Slight widening at the exit, as proposed, will be of little use. The proposed project is surrounded by residential sites that have appeared over the last 15 years. This is now a significant community of people who, in moving here, were seeking a rural environment based on agricultural zoning. Aside from traffic worse than urban traffic, they will be exposed to noise, large amounts of diesel fumes, and industrial lighting. Wildlife, a benefit of this area, will be repelled. This industrial project will affect the value of property in the area by an amount that will exceed the revenues of the pit. The pit is out of place here. I am hoping that the Commissioners will see the high public interest in denying this project. Respectfully, William Lewis 303 506 7416 1 P NOTES: J S 1 v- 4r.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. 1 Good Evening Barbara & Julie, on Wednesday December 5th, 2018 the County Commissioners will be having a Land Use Hearing on the above application As County Commissioners for our District area's I'm reaching out in opposition to this application for the following reasons • There are 15 gravel pits within a 6 (six) mile radius of where this pit wants to be located This is more than enough to support our current growth One of which is already ran and operated by Northern Colorado Constructors (NCC) just south of this location Why is NCC wanting to start another gravel pit when they have an active one not that far away? My knowledge tells me these gravel companies hold on to the pits as long as possible because reclamation of the land is one of the most expensive parts of the gravel operation How do these companies stop from having to reclaim? They start another pit slow the mining of the old and put there attention to the new pit until such time they can find someone to purchase, lease etc the old pit to help off set costs • Our properties WILL experience a decline in value and the impact will radiate through the surrounding area The financial burden of a lucrative gravel pit should NOT be carried onto the backs of us neighboring property owners • The proposed access and exit points out of this pit have not had a FULL traffic study and there are plenty of other options to get trucks in and out out this location by using southern routes similar to what is already being used by the existing pits • The truck counts submitted by the applicant are way too low which is why the Weld County Planning Board is requesting the application be denied • There is NO tax benefit to our emergency services, County Services or anybody else These trucks tear up the county roads and us taxpayers are stuck paying for the repairs • According to the test results submitted, this location has been turned down by several other companies because the aggregate was not sufficient for mining so why does NCC want to mine? My knowledge tells me that the pit will end up having huge piles of 1/4 squeegee rock that will sit on the site for years to come If the Commissioners were to vote in favor I would like to see the following conditions tied to the approval • There be a height limit to how high the aggregate be piled up • Access to the gravel pit be out the south instead of west • Put a limit on the number of trucks that enter the site per day • An end date to when the pit would need to be reclaimed This way it does not drag on for years and years • There be a stop sign at the exit of the gravel pit wherever it will be located Currently there is NO stop planned at the exit of the pit 2 I Will be traveling to CA next week for work and unable to attend, otherwise I would have spoken at the public meeting Thank you for your time and hope you can see why another gravel pit is a bad idea Feel free to contact me with any questions Jeff Rabas, CWP 10959 CR 24 5 Ft Lupton, CO 303-710-9426 3 i titirefrawrafill5 feel ATTE�JTIO. sise Prop05j imwjrect ImpactCII fit Side fhisjnferseclion 1° 25 0 odditionaltuclic5Iil= huqe .1.1111S 0(117)1*.�kdelnysn�rttffi� flow tried bit gwrl 4tiCkt &aril 1NW',6e4,. tllufgwg it7�r>!

Below are some answers to your questions. The mined area will have a slurry wall constructed around each cell or phase to seal it off from groundwater so it will be dewatered as it is mined down to bedrock. Once it is mined down to bedrock NCC would be ready for you to inspect the P&A wells to cut off the stem that would be projecting above the mined surface. Then Anadarko could do what is necessary to continue to keep them safe and cutoff below the bottom of the bedrock surface so the top of the casing is not exposed to the future water that will be stored in the mined out cell/phase. On the shared use of the processing plant area that overlaps OGOA 2 NCC would continue to use that area until the mining is complete. If ample notice is given NCC will move stockpiles in this area if needed. The plant schematic will be pushed as far south as possible and the plant configuration can be laid out to minimize the use of this area. The redlines that address the P&A wells include the existing P&A wells and the Glover and Kuipers wells that would be P&A in the future. Also we are referring to the Glover and Kuipers wells in the redlines and exhibit regarding the access from CR 23. The access would be terminated once the Glover and Kuipers wells are P&A. We are not planning to mine through the access to CR 23 at this time. Regards, J.C.

It was helpful to get a good understanding of the full development plan. After talking with our attorney, I think the redlines that I send back will be significantly more detailed and specific than the form previously discussed. I have a few questions and updates for you to finalize the revisions: • The Glover and Kuipers wells are not on our current schedule to P&A • If the end use of the mined area is water storage/lake, do you anticipate any regular interval where it might be drained/dry where we could inspect the P&A wells? • How do you envision shared use of the processing plant area that overlaps with the OGOA 2? • In the redlines that address the P&A wells and mining through them, is that section meant to address only the wells that are currently P&A or also cover the Glover and Kuipers wells that will eventually be P&A?

Objection to Use By Special Review in the A Agricultural Zone: For 25 years these land owner have lived peacefully in this rural A Agricultural Zone enjoying vegetable farming, animal husbandry, wildlife, uninhibited wildlife communication, fresh air, peace and quiet. The applicants proposed USR is objectionable and unacceptable in its current form failing to consider the adjacent property owners sharing of 7/10's of a mile property line. Likewise, impact will occur to wildlife after an historic South Platte River oxbow planned to be filled and mitigated without a defined Army Corp of Engineers 404 permit as of yet. Reasonable Mitigation: Create Open Space; provide for access to the South Platte River and designate a bike trail. Require the USR Applicant submit an approved Army Corps of Engineer 404 permit before issuance of the USR. Likewise develop a buffer from these adjacent landowners. II. Since 1909 The Lupton Meadows Land Company and Harry J. Bone President Surveyed and Recorded the Lupton Meadows Subdivision September 03, 1909 and after 109 Years a USR Open Pit Mine is Proposed. The area has been an A Agricultural Zone in the Lupton Meadows Subdivision the first Subdivision in Weld County Division Number One. In addition it was the Home of the Denver Laramie Northwestern Rail Road. County Road 22.1/2 is half way between Fort Lupton and Fort Vasquez and once a crossing and trail to foothills and mining. The area adjacent to the applicants USR request is an un-registered Historic Site where a colorful Colorado figure once lived and raised 100,000 cows. This colorful pioneer started and brought US petroleum to Denver started the Denver National Bank, and was an earliest director of The Denver Water Board. His wealth was garnered as a mining engineer creating the deepest drifts' with concrete slip forms in Leadville, Central City and Creed Colorado on the Bachelor Loop. Dennis Sullivan offices were at the Equity Building in Denver. It is the intention of the applicant to acquire an USR for commercial/ industrial purposes an open pit mining operation not considering the subdivision status and adjacent effects to fellow subdivision landowners. Reasonable Mitigation: Create buffers from historic area and natural area buffers. Create Open Space; provide for access to the South Platte River and designate a bike trail. Likewise develop a buffer from these adjacent landowners. Further, require that a historical review report be completed by the USR Applicant with preservation recommendations. III. Objection to Applicants "Fugitive Dust" "Fugitive Particulate Emissions" and Acerbated Harmful Health Effects Caused by North by Northwest Prevailing Winds: A. Background Information. The proposed mine is less than two hundred feet from these land owners whom have owned their A Zoned Agricultural farm in the Lupton Meadows Subdivision for 25 years. The applicants proposed aggregate mining activities will generate exceptionally high dust exposure creating a health risk for these adjacent land owners over time. B. Of Greatest Concern: specifically, is exposure to high levels of dust, silica dust (sand and gravel dust) is hazardous when very small (respirable) particles are inhaled. These respirable dust particles can penetrate deep into the lungs of humans causing disabling and sometimes fatal lung diseases, including lung cancer, silicosis, and kidney disease. C. Currently, the mines in the area are 90% exposed surfaces, fine grain sands, aggregate surfaces, over burden piles, sands and gravel and 10% weeds creating an unnecessary erodible and unstable dusty daily surface condition . D. Mines in the region have mechanically exposed aggregate surface for years and decades generating intensely fierce fugitive dust storms. Exposed aggregate surfaces include; i. mine pit perimeter roads, and internal roads, ii. exposed 3:1 slopes, iii. over burden piles, iv. spoils piles, v. processing piles, vi. active mining face excavation, vii. heavy haul truck transporting within the mine, viii. gravel production stock piling and loading, ix. ingress and egress dusty conditions. E. The applicants Processing Plant Area is within 600 feet of these 25 year adjacent land owners and will generate exceptionally high and unacceptable dust level exposures, i. use of front end loaders, ii. transporting aggregates iii. ingress and egress loading of over the road haul trucks, more than a one and a half miles (1 1/2) mi.) from the entrance of the mine in a north by northwest direction will cause harmful and dangerous leaves of dust. iv. harmful dust levels are expected from the applicant's circulation pattern around the processing plant. v. harmful dust levels are expected from the applicant's methods of mining that utilizes haul trucks and lacks conveyor systems moving pit run closer to the entrance for processing. F. Acerbating dust throughout the mine area are the prevailing winds. Winds and breezes occur daily as warm and cold air travels up and down the South Platte River. G. Moderate to high winds prevail from the north and northwest and given the location of the processing plant and many acres of exposed aggregate a dangerously unhealthy living condition is created for the adjacent landowners. H. Given the mine is being developed 600 feet northwest of this property owner and north by northwest winds occur often, the exposure and health risk is unacceptable. I. Finally, if the completed mine pit is to be used for water storage, once water releases occur and the reservoir is dry, highly dusty conditions will continue to occur. Regionally, the mining activity and these many hundreds of acres of exposed sand and gravel create harmful and fierce dust storms. Reasonable Mitigation: This land owners property is elevated 14 feet above the proposed mine and is flanked by the mine for a quarter of a mile (1,468 If). To mitigate these dangerous health condition this land owner ask that the applicant Pioneer Land Company require any and all mining of this area employ several of the following strategies to reduce affected adjacent landowners; i. Mining Sound and Dust Control Walls that typically range in height from 16 to 32 feet must be installed along two (2) sides of a Mining Processing Plant Area to prevent associated fugitive dust and control processing noise. The ENC's STC-25 modular acoustical and fugitive particulate confinement wall panel system is specially designed to effectively block related noise and fugitive particulate propagating into the surrounding environment. The wall units also allow for quick and efficient installation and alteration.

Chemical Stabilization of Unpaved Roads as often as necessary to minimize fugitive particulate matter, using polymer products (e.g., polyvinyl acetates, vinyl acrylics) must be required and verifiable. iii. Control of Fugitive Particulate Emissions from aggregate storage pile through the use of enclosures, covers, or stabling polymer product be employed by the applicant. iv. Minimize the area to be disturbed by mining and develop a strict mining exposure plan that limits disturbed soils to be employed by the applicant, v. Require prompt removal of aggregates and prompt revegetation, vi. Restrict and limit location of over burden stock piles to minimize fugitive particulate emission by developing a strict staged mining plan, vii. Require prompt revegetation, seeding and mulching and otherwise stabilizing the exposed aggregate surfaces within the mine and the mines perimeter until the mine surfaces are covered with a stand of grasses preventing sources of fugitive particulate emission. viii. Require that the applicant reduce the period of time between initially disturbing the soil and revegetation and otherwise stabilizing the disturbed aggregate surface. ix. Require temporary seeding of overburden and spoils piles within the mine and the mines perimeter, x. Require the applicant to water and establish the grasses trees and shrubs with pit dewatering water. xi. Initiate a High Wind Mining Activities Shut Down Procedure. Xii. Adopt the Western Governors Association, 1515 Cleveland Place Suite 200 Denver Colorado 80202 Fugitive Dust Handbook Guidelines and Recommendation September 7, 2006. J. Other Reasonable Mitigation Continued: Require that the applicant to construct an earthen berm to be constructed along the Windell's northern border. i. The berm would be constructed of pit run topped and cover with 18 inches of top soil. The height of the berm would be 16 feet in elevation on the northwest corner of the Windell's and progress to 32 feet in elevation past the historic Barn and to the east where the Windell's exit their driveway and property. ii. East of the Windell's drive the berm would be 16 feet tall and progress to the east end of the Windell's property at the intersection of Weld County Road 22 and Weld County Road 25. Culverts would be installed under the berm on this reach. The north face of the berm would be terraced and benched at a 2:1 slope while the South facing slope would be 3:1. iii. The berm shall be covered with biodegradable straw mulch erosion control fabric. iv. The entire berm must be seeded at a rate of 65 PLS/acre of seed with chewing fescue, Festuca rubra ssp. Commutata and require 90% coverage. Reseeding shall occur until non erosive slopes area created and a cover crop of grass named above is established, and maintained for the life of the mine. v. In addition, the applicant shall purchase and install 36 Colorado Blue Spruce (Fat Albert ssp.) trees of not less than 15' tall 6"and 8" caliper trees approved by the Windell's land owner, vi. The trees shall be planted primarily on the southern facing slope of the berm on a "to -be -determined" spacing. vii. Trees shall be maintained and or replaced by the applicant until establishment, a period of 18 months before mining and maintained thereafter for the lifetime of the mine. Conclusion: We object to the boiler plate USR statements proposed by the applicant and ask that the processing plant area be relocated north of its existing location and closer to the ingress and egress of the mine and that stringent fugitive particulate emissions "dust" guidelines be incorporated in the applicants permit acceptable to these adjacent land owners or that the applicants USR be denied. IV. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), health effects include eye, nose and throat irritation, headaches, loss of coordination, nausea, liver, kidney and central nervous system irreparable damage, some VOCs are suspected and known to cause cancer. Air Pollution Emission Notice APEN and or the necessity and need of the county to require, administrate assistance and monitoring to state standards. i. The Operation of the Open Pit Mine and the Emissions of air pollutants has given the adjacent land owners great health and safety concerns given adjacent land owners located in the north and north by northwest prevailing winds ii. These Emissions in Our Families and County Resident's Lungs and air space should be unacceptable. However the USR request makes allows a Neolithic mining technique that risks Colorado snow pack, and water for Weld County residences. iii. The Most Common Pollutants emitted from an open pit mine with little or no emissions accountability, or monitoring by Weld County Health Department is air pollution of Silica and by Excavators, Frontend Loader, Dozer, Heavy Haul Trucks, End Dump Haul Trucks and smaller diesel (Pumps) and other petroleum burning equipment. iv. Heavy Equipment Above Emissions are High in Sulfur dioxide (SO2) Red Dye Off Road Diesel is a known carcinogen, that irritates the skin and mucus membranes of the nose throat, and lungs. In high concentrations causes respiratory lung tissue inflammation and irritation resulting in symptoms of pain when taking a deep breath, causing coughing, throat irritation and breathing difficulties. Prolonged exposure aggravates and worsens asthma attacks and can react with other air particles to cause lung damage and after long term exposure organ failure. v. Nitrogen oxide (NO, forms II, IV, 1,III), the main effect of breathing increased levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is the increased likelihood of respiratory problems. Nitrogen dioxide inflames the lining of the lungs and it can reduce immunity to lung infections, This can cause wheezing, coughing, colds and bronchitis, vi. Carbon monoxide (CO) exposure can have long term effects such as amnesia, headaches, memory loss, personality and behavioral changes, loss of bladder and muscle control, and impaired vision and coordination. Some people suffer permanent damage to organs and brain functioning. vii. Off road #2 diesel equipment or high Sulfur (5O2) fuels will be used in the mine by excavators, frontend loaders, heavy haul trucks, and diesel water pumping equipment and will create an unacceptable 25 year emission and consequential lung damage for this adjacent landowners. V. Objection to Open Pit Mining ; i. Creates a Toxic Environmental Condition of Silica and CO, NO, and VOC for the downwind residents with proven sickening health consequences. Reasonable Recommendation: The hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) produced by the Applicants Neolithic Open Pit Sand and Gravel Mining Operation are simply unacceptable and objectionable in 2018. The Applicants application should be withheld until all deleterious emissions are qualified and quantified for the life time of the mine. The health effects and long term exposure to HAPs is known to create compromised health condition in humans. These emission conditions require that a background baseline analysis occur. A Health Sciences Engineer and Ph.D. Air Quality Scientist should be assigned to immediately begin to develop a baseline background health assessment for the Weld County Health Department and Planning Department approving deleterious health effects for its county citizens. A month by month monitoring study that calculates current conditions and future emission inhalation and trigger points would be used to implement exposure limits and compensatory damages. Compensatory damages would be phased over the lifetime of the mine and paid to the adjacent land owners in discernments calculated by exposure. In the alternative these adjacent land owners ask that the applicant construct berms with culvert flow through buffers and natural screens. The equipment can be made to burn compressed natural gas for no cost, thus eliminating a great deal of the impacts. VI. Impact to Domestic and Farm Well -Objection: Agreement with Current Miner No Agreement from Future Miners or USR Applicants Future Activities. A. Background Information: For 25 years this land owners domestic /farm well has produced adequate and reliable water. The domestic /farm well is an alluvial ground water well with a depth of less than 30 feet. This land owners domestic/farm well is less than 200 feet from the proposed mine slurry wall. Recently, a pipeline was constructed at the southwest corner of the slurry wall and will create a underground channel affecting the well the USR Applicant and the Miner NCC have not provided a trigger point. B. The alluvial ground water and domestic/farm well may be significantly compromised by the applicants proposed slurry wall location and recently constructed pipeline. C. Principally the impact to the alluvial ground water domestic/farm wells adequate and reliable water production and water quality is; i. the slurry wall will cause interference with the immediately adjacent ground water, ii. the slurry wall will cause interference with the immediate ground water flow path, iii. the slurry wall will cause interference with the ground waters hydraulic conductivity, iv. the slurry wall will cause interference with sub surface earth materials (fine grained sediments) in close proximity of the well and may cause consolidation of grained sediments and poor hydraulic conductivity, v. the slurry wall will cause interference with the hydraulic head of the well over time, vi. additionally, the ground water flow hydraulic will be interrupted over time given the slurry walls southwest corner is in close proximity to these landowners well, vii. The influence caused by the slurry walls location to the well will create a sucking depression developed overtime and a loss of water production will occur. Reasonable Recommendation: Request proposals, from qualified (PE) water engineers to investigate the potential effects on ground water hydrology and affects of the southwest corner of the slurry wall. Require a two (2) year ground water flow analysis within a described study area starting immediately. Require a described study area, methods, extent of study model set up, require biweekly monitoring of pizometers, data recording and analysis and provide the same to the adjacent land owners. Require engineers to make recommendation for the mitigation of well impacts and stipulate that a well impact trigger point is pre- approved for all costs associated with the wells replacement. Also, require the applicant to be responsible for all federal, state, counties, city permits for construction and installation of a replacement well. Conclusion: These land and well owners are elevated 12 feet above the crest of the slurry wall and will have a very small infiltration elevation of less than 13 feet. These adjacent land owners ask that before approval of the applicant's USR aggregate materials mining permit, conditions above are implemented and stated as a condition of approval of the applicant's aggregate material mining USR permit. Further, redesign of the slurry wall in this area is needed given recent oil and gas pipeline development and recent hydrodynamics complications created in this area. VII. Visual Impacts Objections: A. Background Information: For 25 years the Windell's have enjoyed agricultural activities entering and exits their home to the north and having seven large windows that face north. Given the elevation of this land owners property (approx. 14'feet above the mine) the visual impacts are unacceptable. B. The applicant has located the Processing Plant Area in the South Cell next to this adjacent land owner's residence and farm and is unacceptable. C. The Processing Plant Area is unnecessarily dislocated from the ingress and egress and the central mining area visually creating an eye sore and unhealthy fugitive particulate emission on this adjacent land owner. D. These adjacent land owners observe no thought on behalf of the USR applicant to screen their aggregate miners operation and find this objectionable. E. The USR applicant must be required to identify another area for its Processing Plant Area further to the north of these land owners, F. The applicants USR should be withheld until an adequate resolution to this matter is achieved by the applicant and an agreement recorded with this land owner. G. the applicant as a condition of the permit must develop a ground cover grass stand with a wildlife value meeting specifications that require success before advancing further within the mine limits H. We ask that the USR Applicant file with County Planning requesting that Tina Booton Weld County Weed Program to Regulate and verify that required condition of the USR permit is a verifiable weed control plan that is acceptable to this South Cell adjacent land owners and uses best management practices to prevent KOSHIA. I. In addition, this land owners property is elevated 14 feet above the proposed mine and is flanked by the mine for a quarter of a mile. To mitigate these weedy condition this land owner requires an earthen berm or living fence be construct along this property owner's northern border or the southern property line of the pit. Reasonable Mitigation: The applicant must be required to develop a living fence and wind block. Weed barrier cloth 16' wide must be affixed to the soil around the perimeter of the South Cell. The applicant as a condition of the mine before mining occurs purchase and install a dense living fences around 3/4 of the South Cell (a mining area of 67.65 acres) perimeter. The living fence at a minimum would stagger 36, 15' tall Colorado Blue Spruce Picea pungens or (Fat Albert)and 20,000 16 cu. in. native Colorado shrubs acquired from the Colorado State Forest Service Laporte Ave. Fort Collins, Colorado 80523. The shrubs 2,500 Rubber rabbit brush Chrysostamnus nauseous, 2,500 Blue Stem Willow Salix irrorata, 2500 Peach leaf Williow Salix amygdaloides, 2,500 Drummond Willow Salix drummondiana, 2500 Box ElderAcer negundo, 2500 Woods Rose Rosa woodsii 2500 Golden Current Ribes aureum and 2500 Western Sand Cherry Prunus besseyii . The Applicant shall also employee the expertise of the NRCS to quickly establish, maintain' monitor, combat weeds and replace dead vegetation for the life time of the mine. Watering of trees and shrubs shall be accomplished by irrigating with water from the mines dewatering process. Conclusion: These land owners object to the visual impacts of the applicant's location of the Processing Plant Area and ask that the permit be denied until alternative opportunities and constraints are adequately examined and the health consequences assigned a trigger point and compensatory damaged calculation. Necessary Mitigation: To mitigate land owner ask that an earthen berm or living fence be construct along this property owner's northern border or the southern property line of the pit. Please see above for more details. VIII. Objection to Noise Impacts: A. Background: For 25 years we have heard and listening to sounds of wildlife such as geese, eagles, turkeys, pheasants, hawks, crows, coyotes, foxes, pelicans, San Hill Cranes, snow geese, frogs, lizards, crickets. The Applicants proposed mine like others in the region will be "Noisy". Back up warning signals can be heard locally for 12 hours a day. The constant throttling of the heavy equipment is annoying and sickening day after day for decades years. The impact of the noisy mining enterprise adjacent to the Windell's is objectionable and unacceptable. B. Necessary Mitigation: Back up devices on haul trucks, excavators, loaders, etc. should be equipped with backup sounds of birds, frogs, or other acceptable animals. These back up devices with the sounds of animals can be purchased and installed on the equipment and are OSHA approved. We request that the USR Applicant be required to purchase these backup signals to minimize the noise. In addition, this land owners property is elevated 14 feet above the proposed mine and is flanked by the mine for a quarter of a mile. C. To mitigate noisy conditions this land owner requests that an earthen berm be constructed along the USR Applicants southern border with the Windells on the Windell property. The berm would be constructed of pit run topped with 18 inches of top soil. The height of the berm would be 16 feet in elevation on the northwest corner and progress at 16 feet in elevation to the east where an existing driveway to the south exists the Windell's property. East of the drive the berm would be 16 feet tall and progress to the east and end at the intersection of Weld County Road 22 %z and Weld County Road 25. The north face of the berm would be terraced and benched at a 2:1 slope while the South facing slope would be 3:1. Seeding with chewing fescue would be necessary and 90% coverage required. Reseeding shall occur until non erosive slopes area created. We ask that the USR Applicant purchase 6"and 8" diameter Blue Spruce trees, and plant 36 trees to the south face of the berm. The trees shall be planted primarily on the southern facing slope of the berm on a "to -be -determined" spacing and provided water and care for the lifetime of the mine. IX. Objections to "Weed Control" and Proposed Reclamation Impacts: KOCHIA A. Background: Sand and gravel mining reclamation contemplated by the applicant is weak on substance and timing. Each gravel mine in the area is cover cropped with weeds for years and decades. Typically, the kochia weeds are not controlled by the operating mine. Most mines in the region utilize a dozer, maintainer or loader to perform weed control by leveling and pulverizing the weeds within the mine perimeter, spoil pile or overburden pile. This method assures an annual weedy cover of kochia exposed aggregates and a weedy seed distribution in close proximity of the mine. The prevailing winds will cause dispersion of the millions of weed seed and interrupting this land owner and their 25 years of farming. The applicant proposes a boiler plate USR application response, top soiling and seeding at an exceedingly low rate when the mine is complete and demonstrates a carelessness that requires revision. The applicant must as a condition of the permit before mining starts develop a smart track reclamation plan with specific dates, specifications and standards and fewer generalities. Given the reclamation of the applicants mine is exceedingly important to the health, wellness and safety of these adjacent landowners, further review, requirements and restrictions and protections are required by the Windell's land owners downwind from the pit. B. the applicant as a condition of the permit must develop a ground cover grass stand with a wildlife value meeting specifications that require success before advancing further within the mine limits C. We ask that the Applicant file with the Division Wildlife a Wildlife Access Corridor to the and be require as a condition of the permit a verifiable weed control plan that is acceptable to this South Cell adjacent land owners. Reasonable Mitigation: The applicant must be required to develop a living fence and wind block. Weed barrier cloth 16' wide must be affixed to the soil around the perimeter of the South Cell. The applicant as a condition of the mine before mining occurs purchase and install a dense living fences around % of the South Cell (a mining area of 67.65 acres) perimeter. The living fence at a minimum would stagger 360, 15' tall Colorado Blue Spruce Picea pungens and 20,000 16 cu. in. native Colorado trees and shrubs acquired from the Colorado State Forest Service Laporte Ave. Fort Collins, Colorado 80523. The shrubs 2,500 Rubber rabbit brush Chrysostamnus nauseous, 2,500 Blue Stem Willow Salix irrorata, 2500 Peach leaf Williow Salix amygdaloides, 2,500 Drummond Willow Salix drummondiana, 2500 Box Elder Acer negundo, 2500 Woods Rose Rosa woodsii 2500 Golden Current Ribes aureum and 2500 Western Sand Cherry Prunus besseyii. Each of the above can be purchased for less than $4.00. The Applicant shall also employee the expertise of the NRCS to quickly establish, maintain' monitor, combat weeds and replace dead vegetation for the life time of the mine. Watering of trees and shrubs shall be accomplished by irrigating with water from the mines dewatering process. Conclusion: The applicants USR permit should be denied until that time when those items above are incorporated into the Applicants USR permit or the Applicant obtains professional help with developing a meaningful reclamation plan instead of a minimalist plan scheduling quantitative and qualitative performance standards. X. Night Lighting of the Mine Objection: A. Background: Lighting in the mine is a concern given there has been no lights in the area for 25 years. We ask that the Processing Plants Area plant night lights be contained within a walled installation blocking night lights. B. Awalled containment system is required and should be required for approval of the permit. The night lighting is another visual impact that a walled containment system eliminates. Walled containment suppresses the mines processing noise impacts and fugitive dust impacts and causes better emissions control. Typically these walls range in height from 16 to 32 feet and can be installed on all four sides of a Mining Processing Plant Area as support equipment. The height length and layout of the walls are designed to contain light, sound, dust at the Processing Plant Area. The ENC's STC-25 modular acoustical and fugitive particulate confinement wall panel system is specially designed to effectively block lights, related noise, and fugitive particulate propagating into the surrounding environment. Reasonable Mitigation: In addition, this land owners property is elevated 14 feet above the proposed mine and is flanked by the mine for a quarter of a mile. To mitigate these weedy condition this land owner requires an earthen berm be construct along this property owner's northern border. The berm would be constructed of pit run topped with 18 inches of top soil. The height of the berm would be 15 feet in elevation on the northwest corner and progress to 35 feet in elevation to the east where an existing driveway exists on the property. East of the drive the berm would be 15 feet tall and progress to the east end at the intersection of Weld County Road 22 %z and Weld County Road 25. The north face of the berm would be terraced and benched at a 2:1 slope while the South facing slope would be 3:1. Seeding with chewing fescue would be necessary and a 90% coverage required. Reseeding shall occur until non erosive slopes area created. We ask that the applicant identify purchase, spade, transport, and plant 35, 6" and 8" diameter Blue Spruce Picea pungens trees. The trees shall be planted primarily on the southern facing slope of the berm on a "to -be -determined" spacing. Applicant would also be responsible for any permitting, variance, easement or agreement that might be required. Conclusion: We object to the applicant's location of the Processing Plant Area and asked that the USR be denied until a sensible plan is developed. XI. Hours of Operation Objection A. Background: This mine site is directly north of this property owner's property line and shares 1,470 feet is a peaceful rural area along the South Platte. Allowing a mining operation to develop next to property the Windell's have owned for 25 years is unacceptable. The interruption of the Windell's lifestyle is unwanted and unconsidered by the USR Applicant. The hours of operation proposed by the Applicant are objectionable and unacceptable. B. The Applicants proposed mine work hour as a condition of the permit must be M -F 7:00am to 2:30 pm. The mine should be closed Saturday and Sunday. Special hours of operation should also be denied by the county. Reasonable Mitigation: This land owners property is elevated 14 feet above the proposed mine and is flanked by the mine for a quarter of a mile. To mitigate the working hours this land owner requires an earthen berm be construct along this property owner's northern border. The berm would be constructed of pit run topped with 18 inches of top soil. The height of the berm would be 16 feet in elevation on the northwest corner and progress to 32 feet in elevation to the east where an existing driveway exists on the property. East of the drive the berm would be 16 feet tall and progress to the east end at the intersection of Weld County Road 22 %2 and Weld County Road 25. The north face of the berm would be terraced and benched at a 2:1 slope while the South facing slope would be 3:1. Seeding with chewing fescue would be necessary and a 90% coverage required. Reseeding shall occur until non erosive slopes area created. We ask that the applicant spade 6"and 8" diameter trees. The trees shall be planted primarily on the southern facing slope of the berm on a "to -be -determined" spacing. USR Applicant would also be responsible for any permitting that might be required. XII. Truck Egress and Ingress Impact and Objection: A. Background: Truck Egress and Ingress should be stipulated and required on Weld County Road 23 only. B. Ingress and Egress from Weld County Road 22 %z should not be permitted. Currently the NCCI team enters the Processing Plant Area from Weld County Road 22 1/2. All future ingress and egress by mining personnel must be prevented and stipulated as a condition of the applicants permit. Reasonable Mitigation: Signs indicating No Gravel Trucks and No Gravel Personnel Entry must be posted in both directions at Weld County Road 22 %2 and similarly on Weld County Road 25. XIII. Objection to Time Frame of Mining and Un-Marketable Aggregate Materials Removal: A. The USR Applicant has grossly over looked the time frame of mining understated the life time of the mine and prefers that these land owner who share 7/10's of a mile of adjacent land ownership just live with it. The USR Applicants miner will generate 15 and 20 million tons of aggregate and 4,500 to 5000 acre feet of water storage. Pit runs an aggregate product that consists of just loading the material on a truck costs $9.00 per ton throughout the Front Range of Colorado. Gross sales at $ 9.00 per ton would in a pit of similar size garner $135,000,000 to $180,000,000. Water storage sales have grossed $25,000,000 in similar size pits. Surly the USR Applicant can find some incentive with a project that can garner $160,000,000 to mitigate dust, noise, visual impacts, lighting, weeds and other impacts to the adjacent land owners. Reasonable Recommendation and Mitigation: Incorporate the reasonable recommendations a small sacrifice for decades of mining and impacts to the Windell's. Finally, we are asking that Weld County Planning to incorporate and stipulate the Reasonable Mitigation identified above and curtail fugitive dust and noise impacts and emissions. Please also note that all of these concerns and objection could be mitigated with a modular wall system currently being utilized in the oil and gas industry. It's very difficult to accept that our rural lifestyle can be taken from us and that our health and senesces can be impacted for decades. Further, we respectfully ask that Planning stipulate as a condition of the current application an incorporating of the Reasonable Mitigation identified above into the USR. We ask that the Planning limit the impacts of mining for these effected landowners. We seek a lung healthy and none noisy visually aesthetic alternative that is compatible with wildlife and these adjacent landowners. Finally, we respectfully request that we be able to modify our objections and participate in the process where the USR Applicant provides for the reasonable mitigation. Kind Regards, Bradley T.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. I am writing in opposition to the proposed gravel pit at CR 23 & 24. My husband and I have lived on CR 23 for 22 years and are disgusted with the amount of truck traffic on our road! The new pit would only add to the already unbearable amount of trucks. These trucks are running rough shot on these roads. Rules DO NOT apply to them. We have contacted Weld county sheriff's department numerous times and been told they don't have the resources to monitor these roads!! I travel CR 23 frequently during the day and witness trucks running the stop signs at the four way (23 & 14 1/2) continually. The same thing applies to the two stop signs at Cr 23 and 18. We have seen repeated accidents and excessive speeds. We have to back up to allow them to turn or be hit because they won't stop.The trucks begin running around 5:30 am! Jake brake noise is also a problem. have elderly neighbors that are afraid to get their mail and my 17 year old daughter asks me to take her to school some days because she is so afraid of being hit at the stop signs or run into exiting our driveway. The truckers also use the tank battery across the road as their personal restroom!! ! I am a tax payer and a voter and am sick of being told there is nothing that can be done to curb this traffic. Why are these trucks able to use these roads? Why are there no weight restrictions? Is the small bridge at the north end of 23 actually rated for the load the go over and over it? If this was a commissioners road you can bet this wouldn't be a problem!

Pursuant to Section 106, the purpose of this inventory was to locate and identify any cultural resources located within the project area and assess the potential effects to cultural resources resulting from this federal undertaking. The Class III inventory covered 1 9 1 acres of private land located northwest of Fort Lupton in Sections 1 and 12 of Township 2 North, Range 67 West, in Weld County, Colorado. A segment of the historic Meadow Island Ditch No. 1 (SWL6 107.2) and a field ditch (5WL8064. 1) were located and newly recorded by SWCA during fieldwork. Both of the newly recorded ditch segments have been recommended as not supporting the overall eligibility of the overall historic site for the National Register of Historic Places. Because both resources are recommended non - supporting of National Register of Historic Places eligibility, no historic properties are located within the project area and no additional work is recommended.

Contains Privileged Information —Do Not Release ix A Class III Cultural Resource Inventory for the Proposed Bennett Annexation to Fort Lupton, Weld County, Colorado UNDERTAKING/PROJECT DESCRIPTION In 2016, SWCA Environmental Consultants (SWCA) conducted a Class III cultural resource inventory of a 191 -acre property (or "project area"), encompassing all of five contiguous private land parcels (Parcel Numbers 131101000016, 131112200044, 131112200041, 131112200042, and 13112200004). This inventory was conducted on behalf of the landowner, who is seeking inclusion of the parcels in the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District (NCWCD). The landowner, Tom Bennett, is contemplating further property development and annexation from unincorporated Weld County into the city of Fort Lupton. Since the inclusion of the property in the NCWCD requires authorization from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), this action constitutes a federal undertaking and therefore the survey was requested to fulfill Reclamation's obligations in meeting Section 106 requirements under the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). Pursuant to Section 106, the purpose of this cultural resource survey was to locate and identify any potentially significant cultural resources located within the project area and to assess the potential effects of this federal undertaking on these resources. The project area is approximately 5 miles northwest of central Fort Lupton. These lands are along the South Platte River in the SE% of Section 1, Township (T) 2 North (N), Range (R) 67 West (W), and portions of the N E1 and NW%% of Section 12, T2N, R67W (see Figure 1). At the time of the field survey the inventory area was primarily cultivated agricultural fields with approximately 80 percent of the ground surface moderately disturbed by plowing, harvesting, and oil and gas development. SWCA requested geographic information systems (GIS) data from the Colorado Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (OAHP) on October 24, 2016, and received the GIS files on October 26, 2016. An online OAHP COMPASS file search was conducted by Nicole Kromarek on October 31, 2016. Fieldwork was performed on October 26, 2016, by Nicole Kromarek and Jenny Stokowski. Scott Phillips served as Principal Investigator and Zonna Barnes served as the cultural resource project manager. Copies of field notes and photographs are on file at SWCA's Denver office under project number 40936. ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING The project area is in the Colorado Piedmont, a geographical province characterized by relatively flat topography where the Great Plains transition to the foothills of the Colorado Front Range. Much of the Tertiary fluvial material constituting the surface geology of the region has been eroded away by the South Platte River (Gilmore et al. 1999). The project area is bounded at south by County Road (CR) 221/2 and at east by the South Platte River. The topography in and immediately surrounding the majority of the project area is a generally large, flat valley created by the South Platte River. This semi -arid region naturally supports prairie grassland and riparian habitat. HYDROLOGY The South Platte River, at the eastern extent of the project area, is the major natural drainage in the region. A historic stream channel of the braided South Platte River crosses the western extent of project area. Several irrigation ditches are located in the project vicinity, including the Contains Privileged Information Do Not Release 1 A Class III Cultural Resource Inventory for the Proposed Bennett Annexation to Fort Lupton, Weld County, Colorado Meadow Island Ditch No. 1, the Upton Bottom Ditch, and the Platte Valley Canal. The project area crosses a short segment of the Meadow Island Ditch No. 1 and an unnamed field ditch. CLIMATE The general climate in the project vicinity is described as relatively dry year-round, with cold winters and hot summers (Crabb 1980). Annual precipitation averages for the project vicinity are relatively low. The city of Fort Lupton is documented to receive an average of 12.63 inches of precipitation annually, most of which falls during the summer months (Western Regional Climate Center 2016). The average annual mean temperature is 49.1 degrees Fahrenheit [°F]), with an average maximum temperature of 64.4°F and average minimum of 33.9°F (Western Regional Climate Center 2016). July temperatures average 73.2°F, and January temperatures average 26.8°F (western Regional Climate Center 2016). Inventory of the project area was conducted in November and the weather conditions were dry and warm with clear to partly cloudy skies. FLORA AND FAUNA Based on natural vegetation classifications provided by Kuchler (1964, 1975), 10 natural vegetation communities are within the general Platte River Basin. The predominant vegetation community naturally found within the project area and the greater Platte River Basin is the Grama-Buffalo Grass Grassland. This community is characterized as a sparse desert grassland environment. Specifically, the proposed project area is almost entirely devoid of natural woody cover except in the eastern extent of the project, along the South Platte River (Figures 2 and 3). Outside of this area, a few lone -standing cottonwood (Populus sp.) trees occur along the irrigation ditch. The project areais within the overall ranges of pronghorn (Antilocapra americana), mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). Bird species that are associated with agriculture and open lands include red-tailed hawk (Bute° jamaicensis), great homed owl (Bubo virginianus), and mourning dove (Zenaida macroura). Species observed that are associated with nearby lakes and reservoirs include Canada goose (Branta canadensis), mallard (Anas platyrhynchos), green -winged teal (Ana s crecca), ec ca ), American white pelican (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos), bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), and ring -billed gull (Lanus delawarensis). The surface vegetation within the majority of the project area is no longer composed of natural communities. Vegetation currently consists primarily of medium to tall grasses, weeds, and cultivated and fallow farm fields (see Figures 2 and 3). Patches of cottonwood trees line portions of the concrete -lined irrigation ditch as well as the South Platte River in the project area. The majority of the area is harvested corn (Zea mays) and wheat (Triticum spp.) fields. Ground surface visibility generally averaged approximately 0 to 80 percent at the time of the survey, although areas of grass and weeds in sections of the project area, particularly along the South Platte River as well as the wetland area in the western portion of the project area, had reduced surface visibility due to vegetation cover. The majority of the project area and surrounding region has experienced considerable surface modification through agricultural tillage, oil and gas development, as well as some residential development and associated roadway.

A Class III Cultural Resource Inventory for the Proposed Bennett Annexation to Fort Lupton, Weld County, Colorado GEOLOGY The underlying geology within the inventoried area consists of Quaternary -aged modern alluvium. This also includes Piney Creek Alluvium and younger deposits (Tweto 1979). SOILS Soils within the project area are principally deep, well -drained loams and a combination of loams and sandy foams that form in alluvial environments. Dominant within the project area is Altvan loam (old alluvium) with lesser amounts of Aquolls and Aquents gravelly substratum (recent alluvium), and Bankard sandy loam (sandy alluvium that is frequently flooded) (Natural Resources Conservation Service 2016). Natural soil formation is disrupted within the overall project area as a result of past and present agricultural activities. The soils mapped by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in the area have distinct textures and colors; however, the tilling and mixing of the soils present has created a homogenous horizon across most of the project area through the depth of the plow zone. This horizon consists of a brown sandy loam that is coarser with minimal gravels. Due to the mixing of soils from agricultural and construction development, the soils in the project area are unlikely to support intact, buried cultural materials within the plow zone; however, there is moderate to good potential for buried cultural materials below the plow zone. The inventory area itself is within or on the margins of areas developed for agriculture. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSTRAINTS The project area is used mainly for irrigated agricultural cropland. Generally, cultivated soils in the project area are moderately to well -developed. Surface layers of most soils described for the project area are 5 to 60 inches thick with modern chisel plowing typically reaching 8 to 12 inches in depth. It is expected that archaeological deposits in these soils could be visible on the surface within plow zones, but that deposits retaining integrity might extend deeper. In areas that are not cultivated, soils in the project area are alluvium loam and sandy loam deposits in which archaeological deposits are expected to be visible on deflated surfaces and blowouts. Past flood events are anticipated to have affected potential cultural deposition. CULTURE HISTORY PREHISTORIC OVERVIEW The project area is located in the Platte River Basin as defined in Colorado Prehistory: A Context for the Platte River Basin (Gilmore et al. 1999). The Platte River Basin was used by a variety of Native American groups throughout all of prehistory, beginning with Clovis period hunters at the end of the Pleistocene and continuing through to the onset of the European - dominated occupation of the region (Gilmore et al. 1999). The Platte River Basin prehistoric context provides a comprehensive overview and summary of our knowledge of prehistoric and early historic developments of the region. The Paleoindian stage, ranging from 12,040 to 5,740 B.C. in the Platte River Basin, represented early human migrations to the New World during the late Pleistocene and early Holocene. Projectile points associated with this group are found mostly along rivers, which were Contains Privileged Information Do Not Release 4 A Class III Cultural Resource Inventory for the Proposed Bennett Annexation to Fort Lupton, Weld County, Colorado environments well suited for now -extinct megafauna. Evidence indicates an emphasis on big - game hunting by the highly mobile peoples of the Paleoindian stage. Paleoindian technology is characterized by regionally similar tools, necessitated by a highly mobile, big -game hunting lifestyle. The Paleoindian stage in the Platte River Basin includes three periods: Clovis, Folsom, and Plano. In addition to these periods, there is evidence of pre -Clovis occupation in the Platte River Basin (Gilmore et al. 1999). Paleoindian sites in the Platte River Basin are typically associated with the Kersey Terrace and its equivalent, the Pleasant Valley Terrace, north of the river. Both are Pleistocene terraces of the South Platte River, the channel oanks and bars of which Paleoindian peoples used to travel across the landscape (McFaul et al. 1994:368). Clovis sites (i2,040-9750 B.C.) are rare in the Platte River Basin with only six being recorded in this region by the time the Platte River Basin prehistoric context was compiled. One of these is the Dent site, located just south of the southern end of the project area, adjacent to the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR), and west of the South Platte River. The Dent site (5WL269), a Clovis kill site considered significant as the first site in North America with accepted evidence of cultural material associated with mammoth remains, has been sporadically investigated since the 1930s when it was discovered. The remains of at least 13 mammoths and several Clovis points have been recovered; investigations suggest that there is still likely intact material associated with the site underneath the active UPRR tracks. Another of these sites is the Klein II Clovis site (5WL 1368). Over the course of more than 40 years, the site, which was discovered in 1950, has sporadically yielded severalClovis points, flaked stone material. and Pleistocene faunal remains (McFaul et al. 1994). Its location in a plowed agricultural field, in alluvial deposits less than 20 centimeters (cm) below the Kersey Terrace, is representative of Paleoindian sites in the region. Twenty-three Folsom sites (11,340-8,720 B.C.) have been identified in the Platte River Basin, including the Powars site (5WL1369). Originally discovered in the 1930s and subsequently partially excavated, the site consisted of "Folsom projectile points and other lithic artifacts eroding from eolian sand deposits near the south edge of the Kersey terrace," south of the South Platte River (McFaul et al. 1994:350). The Plano period (10,850-5,740 B.C.) is more substantial with 46 sites recorded within the region (Gilmore et al. 1999). The Late Paleoindian period Frazier Site (5WL268) is one of the only Agate Basin sites excavated in Colorado. This site is interpreted as a secondary butchering site where an extinct form of bison were processed. The main kill site was never identified. Excavations of the Frazier Site were undertaken by Marie Wormington in 1966 and 1967, yielding numerous stone tools including 11 projectile points, as well as butchered bison bone (Wormington 1984). In the Platte River Basin, the Archaic stage developed and lasted from 5,500 B.C. to A.D. 150. During this stage, the native populations apparently modified their subsistence and settlement patterns in response to the fluctuating environmental conditions that existed at the time. During the Early Archaic period (5,500-3,000 B.C.), the mountains and foothills were cool and wet, while the plains were hotter and drier. Twenty- six sites are attributed to the Early Archaic period in this region by the time the Platte River Basin prehistoric context was researched. The Middle Archaic period (3,000-1,000 B.C.) experienced a return to a cooler climate throughout the region, with a corresponding subsistence pattern based on a broader range of plants and animals. An increase in grinding devices, lanceolate projectile points, stemmed projectile points with Contains Privileged Information Do Not Release 5 A Class III Cultural Resource Inventory for the Proposed Bennett Annexation to Fort Lupton, Weld County, Colorado concave bases, and corner -notched Elko or Pelican Lake series projectile points are common for this period. In the Platte River Basin prehistoric context (Gilmore et at. 1999), 35 Middle Archaic sites recorded in the region are discussed. These sites tend to be centered on the foothill transition zone west of Denver. The Late Archaic (1,000 B.C.-A.D. 150) archaeological record is populated by larger sites that were occupied for longer durations and were more intensively used than those of the Middle Archaic period. Projectile points from the Late Archaic period. are generally large corner -notched and side -notched types (Zier and Kalasz 1999:100-136). Forty Late Archaic sites had been recorded in the Platte River Basin at the time the prehistoric context was compiled (Gilmore et al. 1999). Although several burials have been excavated along the streams and drainages in the broader region surrounding the current project area, few have been dated to the Archaic period. The one exception is 5WL2055, the Webster Feedlot Burial. It was discovered eroding from the north bank of the South Platte River near the confluence with Crow Creek and dated to the Late Archaic (wanner and Brunswig 1992). In the Platte River Basin, the Late Prehistoric stage dates from A.D. 150 to 1540 and is divided into two periods: the Early Ceramic (A.D. 150-1150) and Middle Ceramic (A.D. 1,150-1540). The Early Ceramic period is represented by the appearance of the bow and arrow, intensified development in bone and shell technology, the appearance of ceramics, and structural surface architecture. In total, 67 sites had been recorded within the Platte River Basin at the time the prehistoric context was compiled (Gilmore et al. 1999). During the Middle Ceramic period, a semi -sedentary settlementpattern developed and architecture became more prevalent and diverse, pottery became more diversified, and projectile points were typically smaller and triangular with side notches or were un-notched. Thirty-one Middle Ceramic sites have been identified in this region (Gilmore et al. 1999). The Protohistoric period (A.D. 1540-1860) begins with the contact of native populations and Europeans and ends with the European domination of the region, and includes the introduction of horses (Gilmore et al. 1999). Twenty-six Protohistoric sites have been recorded in the Platte River Basin (Gilmore et al. 1999). Gilmore et al. (1999) discuss site types from open architectural, open camps, game drives, and kill sites, to ceremonial and scarred tree sites, that may be expected from the Protohistoric era to potentially relate to ethnohistorically known tribes in the region. By Protohistoric and into Historic times, Gilmore et. al. (1999) indicate that tribes spreading westward across the Plains the Arapaho, Cheyenne, and Sioux were in the region. These tribes displaced earlier Plains Apache and Kiowa, and overlapping Numic- speaking groups (the Ute, Shoshone, and Comanche) from the western mountains. Tribal ethnographic background is further discussed within the historic archaeological context developed for Colorado (Church et al. 2007). The themes of the prehistoric context (Gilmore et al. 1999), including consideration of Settlement Patterns, Paleodemography, Subsistence, Trade and Exchange, and Technology, still apply. HISTORIC OVE ' VIEW To those living in the U.S. power centers of the East Coast in the early nineteenth century, the area now known as Colorado was a distant, remote wilderness. The Spanish, however, had made forays into the region since the late eighteenth century, attempting to establish trading relationships with the Native American groups who occupied the area. Throughout the early nineteenth century, tradingand trapping were the primary activities of the small non -Native Contains Privileged Information Do Not Release 6 A Class III Cultural Resource Inventory for the Proposed Bennett Annexation to Fort Lupton, Weld County, Colorado American population in the region. When precious metal deposits were discovered in the 1850s, miners, their families, and those who hoped to cash in on the mining industry flooded into Colorado. Although mining was the backbone of the economy of the state until the late nineteenth century, industries including farming, ranching, coal mining, and other support industries, arose in conjunction with efforts to extract precious metal from the earth. Immigrants from all over the country and around the world streamed into the territory to work in these burgeoning industries. After 1876 statehood, the late nineteenth century was a time of diversification for the Colorado economy. Farming, ranching, banking, transportation, tourism, and health industries grew in importance. Linked by statehood, the various regions of Colorado possess a common heritage, yet each subregion maintains distinctive characteristics and individualistic aspects of historical development. For this reason it can be important to approach the historic cultural resources in Colorado with both an understanding of how individual sites are shaped by regional and statewide processes and how the actions of people who occupied these sites helped shape and create these processes. The Louisiana Purchase in 1803 brought about confusion over national borders between the governments of Spain and the United States, which resulted in Spanish patrols of the northern plains and the present site of Denver until 1819. That year the Adams-Onis Treaty was signed by both governments, resolving the dispute over where the boundary between U.S. frontiers and Spanish colonial lands was located, and U.S. exploration of the region greatly increased (Mehls 1984). These explorations were first concentrated along the South Platte River. During the Oregon Migration of the 1840s, particular attention was paid in this region to the discovery of alternative routes for travelers moving west (Mehls 1984). The U.S. military also patrolled the northern Colorado plains to control the Native Americans in the region and reduce the threat of raiding to immigrants, traders, trappers, and prospectors traveling through the area. Several regional trading forts were established in the 1830s and early 1840s, including Fort Vasquez, Fort St. Vrain, Fort Lupton, and Fort Jackson. The presence of these forts made northeastern Colorado a popular winter and exchange destination for trappers (Mehls 1984). In the 1840s, the traders and trappers fell on hard times when the fur market crashed. Simultaneously, traders experienced a severe reduction in the number of pelts they were able to obtain due to over -trapping of certain species. Many regional forts closed in the late 1840s, and the trading entrepreneurs moved elsewhere. Afterward, a sparse number of mountain men settled in the region, selling necessary goods to emigrating settlers traveling through the region, or farming (Mehls 1984). The Colorado gold rush of 1859 attracted a completely different wave of people to the northern plains regions. Because of the sheer volume of fortune seekers to the area, the Denver basin became the cradle of permanent U.S. settlement of what would become Colorado (Mehls 1984). Unsuccessful miners tried their hand at farming the plains, and entrepreneurs chasing the growing population's need for goods and services were integral to the establishment of Denver, as was the discovery of gold in Dry Creek, Cherry Creek, and Fountain Creek Canyon. Although the small and quickly depleted gold deposits accessible in those areas eventually produced a reverse migration, many people, especially commercial business owners, chose to stay to permanently establish a supply center for mountain mining communities in the southern Contains Privileged Information Do Not Release 7 A Class III Cultural Resource Inventory for the Proposed Bennett Annexation to Fort Lupton, Weld County, Colorado Rocky Mountains (Mehis 1984). The introduction of the railroad in 1870 finally connected Denver to a nationwide system of cities and transportation. During this period of settlement, great conflict also resulted between U.S. settlers and soldiers and the Native American groups who had previously moved freely through northeasternColorado. One of the most disastrous of these violent encounters occurred at Sand Creek in November 186 4. The UPRR first crossed into Weld County in 1867 connecting Colorado and Nebraska near Julesburg (Lynch 2015). More of the railroad was completed connecting Denver to Cheyenne, Wyoming, in 1869 near present-day Interstate 25. The towns of Greeley, La Salle, and Julesburg, Colorado, were developed due to the railroad boom. The post -1900 period along Colorado's Front Range and on the northern plains is characterized by advances in agricultural techniques. Irrigated crops were dominated by sugar beets (Beta vulgaris), and dryland farming techniques and crops were improved. With the advent of the automobile, the tourist trade increased, and railroads began to decline in importance as many goods were instead shipped by truck. During the first half of the twentieth century, Denver became a large urban area specializing in regional energy development, distribution of goods and services, and a regional administrative center with both state and federal offices. Weld County was first established in 1861, under the Territory of Colorado (Weld County 2009). A majority of the county came to be settled by people of German descent who migrated from Russia in the early 19O0s. These immigrants largely first worked as railroad workers and in the sugar beet fields. The sugar beet industry began in 1902 with the establishment of sugar factories in Greeley and Eaton, and later in Windsor, Fort Lupton, and Johnstown. Weld County has grown to be the third leading agricultural area in the United States, and the leading producer of cattle, grain, and sugar beets (Weld County 2009). The county is also the second leading area inColorado for the production of oil and gas. Irrigation in Colorado Because of its semi -arid climate, the development of agriculture in Colorado was initially hampered by a lack of water. The earliest agricultural irrigation ditches in Colorado were generally small in scale and were constructed by early Spanish and Mexican settlers or by operations associated with early Euro-American trading posts in the area (Holleran 2005:9, 11). After the influx of settlers to Colorado associated with the Gold Rush, settlement of the plains region by Euro-Americans began in earnest. Many who had initially tried their hand at mining and abandoned it for various reasons, settled on the plains, and established ranches and farms (Mehls 1984:20). These early agricultural operations were generally located near watercourses where water could be easily obtained. Those who located farther away from natural waterways, or sought to use less arable land, began to construct small pioneer ditches. These ditches were the first generation of agricultural waterworks and were generally small and simply constructed. These early structure types were typically designated as farm or ranch ditches that served single users and mutual ditches that were operated by ditch companies and were sometimes owned by multiple users (Holleran 2005: 12-13). Ditches were also constructed by agricultural colonies that were formed of groups of settlers that came to Colorado intent on building agricultural communities (Holleran 2005:14). The most successful of these was the Union Colony at what Contains Privileged Information— Do Not Release $ A Class III Cultural Resource Inventory for the Proposed Bennett Annexation to Fort Lupton, Weld County, Colorado eventually became Greeley, Colorado, that established an extensive irrigation system by 1877 (Holleran 2005:14 1 S). The development of irrigation in Colorado motivated the formation of a unique system of water rights administration that would become the model for many western states (Holleran 2005:17). Water rights were based on a system of prior appropriation, a concept related to the c i onological order of water rights claims that was recognized by the territorial legislature in 1864 and the United States Congress in 1866 (Holleran 2005:18). Although the amount of water that could be used was technically limited, those with less senior water rights could only claim their water from what was left over from those with more senior rights (Holleran 2005:18). The system was administered by appointments of a state engineer and water commissioners (Holleran 2005:19). The success of the Union Colony's ambitious project (at Greeley), combined with prior settlement of more favorable areas (in terms of access to water), encouraged the construction ofmore extensive and complicated ditch networks to efficiently irrigate land during in the 1880s (Holleran 2005:25). Unlike pioneer ditches, these systems were too expensive to be built by individual farmers or even mutual ditch companies. As a result, the first commercial canal companies were established (Holleran 2005:22, 25). The earliest companies had easy access to capital often through relationships with British investors or railroad companies looking to increase the value of their grant lands before selling them (Holleran 2005:22). The access to capital made the construction of large systems possible; however, these extensive structures often required significant upkeep and maintenance. These sizeable costs crippled many commercial canal companies and they became a losing proposition for their investors (Holleran 2005:25 -27). Large commercial canal systems further depleted already limited supplies of water in Colorado. The doctrine of prior appropriation worked against many., of the companies which were often left with little water and were unable to fulfill the obligations that they had made to irrigators. Companies often tried to ameliorate these conditions by purchasing ditches with prior appropriations or purchasing water rights from senior holders (Holleran 2005:25). The practice of the purchase of water rights emerged as a consequence of the liberal nature of early water appropriation in Colorado. Early appropriations were often for amounts of water that exceeded actual stream flows and even potential irrigation structure capacity (Holleran 2005:21). The outsized appropriations were not an issue in the early days of pioneer structures as farmers often used only what they needed; however, by the 1880s, the rise of corporate irrigation companies and the ever-increasing need for water began to strain the available supply (Holleran 2005:21). Combined with the tendency of the water courts to uphold early appropriations, regardless of their size, the buying and selling of water rights became influenced by a speculation market (Holleran 2005). Those who were able to purchase older appropriations had the right to use the original structure, divert water from the original structure into another, or, in cases where the structures shared the same stream source, even reduce the diversion of one in order increase the diversion of another, a practice upheld by the State Supreme Court (Field 1902; Holleran 2005). Those who purchased or continued to maintain original structures had the ability to enlarge their ditches and canals under the original appropriation up to the original decreed amount. This practice is in contrast to those that had to enlarge their ditches Contains Privileged Information Do Not Release 9 A Class III Cultural Resource Inventory for the Proposed Bennett Annexation to Fort Lupton, Weld County, Colorado under separate appropriations, one of which would be a less senior appropriation, often resulting in the inability of the structure to run at full capacity due to the prior claims of other irrigation features in the area (Field 1902). Although many irrigators saw the need for storage of large quantities of water far off in the future, by the late nineteenth century it was apparent that irrigation companies with later appropriations were often unable to fulfill their obligations to water users. Water availability was constrained due to high water consumption by those with prior appropriation rights and/or periods of drought, both of which drastically reduced water availability. In some cases water users successfully sued irrigation companies for not delivering their promised allotments. These conditions firmly established the need for reservoirs in Colorado by the late 1880s (Holleran 2005:26). Although the structures built by commercial companies were not profitable financial ventures, the impact of these systems on agricultural productivity was undeniable. Most of the ditch and canal systems constructed by commercial entities were too important to abandon and were absorbed by mutual companies or irrigation districts, many of which still manage the systems today (Holleran 2007:27). The legacy of irrigation systems of all types in Colorado is the growth of a large agricultural sector that would have been impossible without access to water. By 1 890, more than one million acres of farmland in the state were irrigated and by 1910, Colorado surpassed the state of California in terms of the amount of land under irrigation, and had the most in the United States (Holleran 2005:7). Commercial operations were also linked to the development of the sugar beet industry, which became one of the most important agricultural products in the state and in Weld County in particular (Mehls and Mehls 1988). PREVIOUS WORK LITERATURE REVIEW SWCA requested GIS data from the Colorado OAHP on October 24, 2016, and received the GIS files on October 26, 2016. The study area included a 1 -mile buffer around the defined project area. Additionally, the GIS data were compared against the OAHP database COMPASS on October 31, 2016. Four previous inventories have been conducted within the files search area and are listed in the OAHP database (Table 1). These consist of two surveys for bridge replacements, one survey for a pipeline, and one inventory of Colorado farms and ranches in Weld and Broomfield Counties. None of these previous inventories intersect with the current project area. Eleven cultural resources, all historic, have been identified within the fife search area and are listed in the OAHP database (Table 2). Historic sites are typically related to the agricultural economy o f' the region. These sites include four irrigation ditches, two farms or homesteads, two railroads, and one railroad station. Two historic bridges are also included. Two of the resources, Platte Valley Canal; Evans No. 2 Ditch (5WL2188.12) and Lupton Bottom Ditch (5WL2652.9), have been recommended eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Of the remaining resources, seven have been recommended or determined. not Contains Privileged Information Do Not Release 10 A Class III Cultural Resource Inventory for the Proposed Bennett Annexation to Fort Lupton, Weld County, Colorado eligible for the NRHP, and one site remains unevaluated (needs data is table below).

Most previously recorded linear features have only been evaluated based on the segment recorded, and not the resource as a whole. The current OAHP guidance indicates that linear resources not recorded in their entirety are treated as eligible for NRHP inclusion for the purposes of cultural resource reviews, and individual segments can be evaluated as supporting or not supporting that eligibility. LAND PATENT SEARCH The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) General Land Office (GLO) records database was also searched for the project area. The records indicate that three patents were granted for portions of sections in which the project area is located between 1867 and 1885 (BLM 2016). Two of these patents were granted to private individuals under the Scrip Warrant Act and one was granted under the Homestead Act of 1862. All of the land within the survey area is currently privately owned. Patents issued under the Scrip Warrant Act were given to military veterans. The lands often were not patented by the veterans themselves, but sold to other settlers who patented the claim in their place. The earliest settlement in the region coincided with the closing of some of the Army forts along the South Platte Trail, the signing of the Treaty of Medicine Lodge Creek, and the partial end of the Indian Wars on the plains of northern Colorado (Mehls 1984). HISTORIC MAP REVIEW SWCA also conducted examination of the historic GLO plats and historic USGS topographic maps to evaluate the potential for the presence of historic features within the project area. The original GLO plat for T2N, R67W dates to 1863. The plat depicts the north —south -trending South Platte River crossing the eastern half of both Sections 1 and 12. The "Road to Denver" is shown generally following the west bank of the river through the western half of both sections. Although no evidence of the trail was visible on aerial imagery provided by GoogleEarth, it is possible this trail may be within the current project area. The USGS topographic Platteville 1:24,000 -scale quadrangle (1949) map was also reviewed. Examination of this map revealed several features including houses and other structures associated with the William Shortley Homestead (5LW1 415 �), several county roads including CR 221, several ditches including the Meadow Island Ditch No. 1, as well as the UPRR. The only feature within the current project area is Meadow Island Ditch No 1. The house located in the northern portion of the project area and the gravel road leading to it are notdepicted on this map. According to the Weld County Assessor, the single-family residence located within the project area was constructed in 2005.

In general, the objectives of the inventory were to 1) identify all cultural and historic resources within inventoried areas; 2) make initial recommendations regarding identified resources' eligibility for nomination to the NRHP; and 3) make the appropriate recommendations regarding the treatment of all identified resources. The inventory was undertaken to help ensure Reclamation's compliance with Section 106 of the NHPA of 1966 (as amended). EXPECTED RESULTS The project area is located in an environmental setting that is likely to contain historic farming or ranching sites, and historic canals and railroads based on the previous research. Due to surface disturbance from plowing and other agricultural activities in the project area, it is not expected that significant prehistoric resources remain in disturbed surface exposures. It is anticipated that any prehistoric resources that would be located within the current project area would most likely represent isolated artifacts or features. Although historic cultural resources have been previously recorded in the project vicinity, the continued agricultural use and development of the area are anticipated to have largely disturbed much of the surface archaeological material. Identifiable historic resources are expected to be represented by historic artifact scatters, irrigation ditches, and structures associated with agricultural operations. FIELD METHODS The field methods used in this survey followed Colorado OAIP guidelines for conducting cultural resource inventories in Colorado. Field personnel inspected the inventory area using a series of parallel, 20 -meter (m) -wide transects across the inventory area; however, survey transects were adjusted when necessary to ensure full coverage of the inventory areas. Archaeologists examined the ground surface for artifacts, features, and other prehistoric or historic material evidence such as charcoal -stained sediments, as well as aboveground features and structures. Special attention was paid to animal burrows, where present, to assess the potential for subsurface archeological deposits. Landscape features such as depressions, ditches, mounds, and areas of differential vegetation were also examined in particular for evidence of the exposure of archaeological materials. Surface visibility varied somewhat throughout the survey area, with some fields under cultivation and others exhibiting weeds, medium to tall grasses, and the remnants of corn crops. Overall, the extent of bare ground visibility averaged between 0 and 80 percent. Weather was favorable for the field survey, with mostly sunny skies and warm temperatures. No artifacts were collected during the course of this inventory. Contains Privileged Information Do Not Release 15 A Class III Cultural Resource Inventory for the Proposed Bennett Annexation to Fort Lupton, Weld County, Colorado SITE AND ISOLATED FIND RECORDING In the event that cultural resources are encountered, the following field methods are used. The project archaeologists first establish the extent and boundaries of a site by flagging any cultural materials in a 30-rn radius from the find. Appropriate data are collected for all sites and isolated finds to allow for laboratory completion of the Colorado Cultural Resource Survey Forms. Sites are mapped with a Trimble GEO-XT global positioning system (GPS) unit with sub -meter accuracy. When detailed mapping or remapping is required, all pertinent linear site features such as site boundaries, roads, fence lines, and vegetation communities, as well as point features such as the site datum, features, and tools, are mapped with the Trimble (IPS unit. Resulting GPS data are processed using Trimble Pathfinder software and projected into Universal Transverse Mercator, Zone 13 North, North American Datum 1983. All GIPS data are exported into ArcMap 10.3 shapefiles and plotted onto the associated geo-referenced USGS 7.5 -minute quadrangle to ensure accuracy and produce location maps of all resources. In addition to site mapping, sites are photographed in overview. Associated features and diagnostic artifacts are described, measured, recorded with GPS units, and photographed (where photography is illustrative), as appropriate. Environmental setting, depositional context, topography, and geographical location are also recorded for each site. Evaluation of linear resources follows the guidance set forth in the Colorado State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) guidance document: Where to Draw the Line: The Truth about Linears as We Know It (SHPO n.d.). Newly recorded segments of previously identified linear resources were assigned new segment numbers. Boundaries for recorded segments were defined by the limit of the resource physically inspected in the field. Where an existing Management Data Form (MDF) existed for the overall linear resource, only linear component forms were completed for the newly recorded segments. Where MDFs were found to be out of date or when there was no MDF (e.g., for newly recorded segments), new MDFs were completed in addition to linear component forms for the recorded segment. Linear resources that were not field -recorded in their entirety, and did not have a formal determination of NRHP eligibility, are considered eligible for the NRHP for the purposes of Section 106 review. Individual segments that fall within the inventory corridor are evaluated as either supporting or not supporting the eligibility of the overall linear resource. Similarly, project effects are determined based on the effect to the impacted segment. RESULTS On October 26, 2016, SWCA cultural resource specialists Nicole Krornarek and Jenny Stokowski covering the entire 191 -acre project area. Within the inventory areas, SWCA recorded two sites or segments of sites. The sites include an unrecorded segment of the previously documented Meadow Island Ditch No. 1 (5WL6107.2) and the majority of one newly recorded irrigation ditch (5WL8064. 1). Both of the recorded resources are located on private lands. The cultural resource management forms for these sites are provided in Appendix A (detached), and the site locations are illustrated in the map provided in Appendix B (detached).

The Meadow Island Ditch No. 1 is a single -channel earthen ditch that draws water from a diversion on the South Platte River in Section 19, T2N, R66W, and trends generally north for approximately 8 linear miles to the Beeman Ditch in Section 23, T3N, R67W. A farmstead is to the northwestof the segment and CR 23 is 400 feet to the west. A berm with a two -track road across the top parallels the east side of the ditch. Two north —south - trending fence lines are present along both property lines. A gate, which crosses the berm, is present within the southern fence line. Vegetation in the vicinity of the recorded segment is harvested agricultural fields to the south, as well as thick grasses and weeds along the ditch and berm edges, The areas to the east and west of the ditch, on the north side of the agricultural fields, is heavily overgrown with tall grasses and weeds. Ground surface visibility is poor along the banks of the ditch due to density of vegetation. Vegetation on the top of the berm, however, is much shorter, allowing for better ground visibility. Surface sediments on the top of the berm are a brown loam. The ditch is in fair condition and appears to be fairly well maintained. Figure 4.5 L6107.2 segment overview, facing south.

Segment 1 was documented by Centennial Archaeology in 2009 for the Suncor Energy Rocky Mountain crude system expansion pipeline project. This previously documented segment is 2 miles south of the current project segment, south of Volmar. The 1,505 -foot -long segment was recommended as not supporting the overall eligibility of the linear resource since it did not incorporate any notable engineering or construction attributes (Figure 6). No other portions of the site are previously field -documented. The segment in the current project area is of the same construction and appearance as that previously documented to the south. Figure 6. SWL6107.1 detail of the Meadow Island Ditch, facing south-southeast, as previously recorded south of the project area by Centennial Archaeology in 2009. Survey Results SWCA documented the current segment of 5WL6107 on October 26, 2016. The proposed project area crosses the ditch once along a proposed easement connecting to CR 23. The segment consists of a 123 -foot -long north -trending ditch, situated between two agricultural fields and a farmstead. A berm with a two -track field access road on the top parallels the east side of the ditch. Water filled the resource during the current recording. The canal itself is approximately 6 feet deep from the top to the water level and is approximately 10 feet wide at water level, and approximately 20 feet wide across the top. The berm is approximately 16 feet wide across the top and is approximately 6 feet high on the east side. The banks of the canal are covered by dense grasses. No other structural features or artifacts associated with the canal were observed within the current survey area. (Figure 7).

Historic Background According to Centennial Archaeology, the Meadow Island Ditch No. 1 was constructed by the Meadow Island Ditch Company in 1866. John S. Wheeler, who had a significant history in Colorado, was president of the Meadow Island Ditch Company during the construction of the ditch (Gantt et al. 2009). . Water was first appropriated for the ditch in 1866, and was adjudicated approximately 17 years later, in 1883 (Gantt et al. 2009). The original ditch was 2.75 miles long, 5 feet wide at the bottom, and 3 feet deep. In 1876, the depth of the ditch was increased by 1 foot. The current ditch segment is beyond 2.75 miles from the head of the ditch, suggesting that it is part of a later expansion. NRHP Eligibility Recommendation The previously recorded segment of Meadow Island Ditch No. 1, which presents the same structural attributes as the newly recorded segment, was previously found to not support the potential NRHP eligibility of the resource; SHPO concurred. The linear resource, 5WL6107, was not otherwise evaluated in its entirety. The previously recorded segment was found to present no significant structural or engineering features, no important connections to the events important to area history, and only cursory connection to a person important in Colorado's history. The newly recorded segment is of the same situation and, consistent with the previous recording, is also recommended non -supporting of any overall NRHP eligibility for which 5WL6107 may qualify. The current segment, based on documentary evidence, further appears to be a later extension of the ditch rather than part of the original length. Contains Privileged Information Do Not Release 20 A Class III Cultural Resource Inventory for the Proposed Bennett Annexation to Fort Lupton, Weld County, Colorado Management Recommendation The newly recorded resource segment is recommended as non -supporting of the NRHP eligibility of the entire resource and no additional work is recommended. 5WL80 4.1 Site Type Association Site Size: NRHP Recommendation Management Recommendation Historic Ditch/Irrigation Unknown -Present 7,035 by 4 feet (28,140 feet2) Non -Supporting Segment if Site is Eligible No Further Work Site Description SWCA. newly recorded a segment of an unnamed irrigation field ditch (Figures 8 and 9). The ditch consists of a single -channel concrete -lined ditch serving croplands in the northern half of Section 12, T2N, R67W. The western, north —south -trending portion of the ditch is paralleled to the west by a gravel road and to the east by a transmission line. The southern portion of the ditch is paralleled by CR 22% to the south and the eastern portion of the ditch is paralleled by a north —south -trending gravel road. Vegetation in the vicinity of the recorded segment consists of harvested and fallow agricultural fields; dense grasses are also present along the edges of the ditch. Vegetation density varies along the sides of the ditch, allowing for fair to poor ground surface visibility. Surface sediments are a brown loam. Overall, the ditch is in good condition; it is well -maintained and likely currently in use although no water was present at the time of survey. Figure 8. 5WL8064.1 overview, facing east.

The resource consists of a concrete -lined V-shaped channel that borders the edges of an agricultural field. Beginning in the northern portion of the project area, the ditch extends west from the gravel road along the northern boundary of a corn field for approximately 815 feet. At this point, the ditch turns south, for approximately 1,310 feet along the western edge of the field, then turns west again for 860 feet, then turns south again for approximately 775 feet. At this point, the ditch turns to the west for a short distance, under a gravel road, where it then continues on the west side of the road, trending south for another 390 feet (Figure 10). Approximately 35 feet north of CR 22%, the ditch connects to a second east —west -trending concrete -lined segment. This second portion of the ditch begins at the gravel road located in the eastern portion of the project area and curves south along the eastern edge of an agricultural field, then turns west where it parallels the north side CR 22 V2 and the south side of the field. The ditch continues west, outside of the current project area. The ditch measures 3 feet 10 inches wide across the top, 1 foot wide along the bottom, and is approximately 2 feet deep. No water was present at the time of recording. Overall, the ditch is in good condition. Some areas in the western portion of the alignment are cracked due to the large trees growing along it. In most areas, the edges of the ditch are heavily overgrown with grasses and weeds, notably in the southern and eastern portions, and soil has accumulated in the e ottom. Figure 10. 5WL8064.1 detail of where ditch crosses under gravel road, facing east. Historic Background 5WL8064.1 does not appear on any historic maps. The Colorado's Decision Support Systems website indicates that the 66.75 acres of land that is irrigated by the field ditch is fed by the Meadow Island Ditch No. 1. The property on which the currently recorded segment of the ditch is located was originally patented in 1867 to David Ayer through the Scrip Warrant Act of 1855. Contains Privileged Information Do Not Release 23 A Class III Cultural Resource Inventory for the Proposed Bennett Annexation to Fort Lupton, Weld County, Colorado Ayer then sold the land to Nancy Gallemore (BLM 2016 [1867]:Accession MW -0359-024). It was not clear when the properties were sold to the current landowners. NRHP Eligibility Recommendation 5WL8064.1 is a segment of a field ditch positioned to irrigate the agricultural fields that it borders, and draws from the Meadow Island Ditch No. 1 in the NWA of Section 12, beyond the current project area. Although 5WL61O7 was originally constructed 1866-1876, it remains an earthen structure. The field ditch structure is modernly upgraded with concrete lining, probably to stop seepage as well as to simplify maintenance. This segment of 5WL8064.1 presents no significant structural or engineering features, no identifiable connections to the events or persons important to area history, and no relevant archaeological remains. The segment is recommended as non -supporting of any overall NRHP eligibility for which 5WL8064.1 may qualify. The current segment, based on documentary evidence, further appears to be modernly altered and not original although this field likely was irrigated during the Historic period, given the original land patent year. Management Recommendations Because the newly recorded resource segment is recommended as non -supporting of the NRHP eligibility of the resource as a whole, no additional work is recommended. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS SWCA conducted an intensive, Class III cultural resource inventory on behalf of J&T Consulting, Inc., to fulfill the requirements for inclusion of a property in the NCWCD and for access to water resources managed by the Reclamation. Since the inclusion of the property in the NCWCD requires authorization from Reclamation, this action constitutes a federal undertaking and therefore the survey was requested to fulfill Reclamation's obligations in meeting Section 106 requirements under the NHPA. Pursuant to Section 106, the purpose of this inventory was to locate and identify any cultural resources located within the project area and assess the potential effects to cultural resources resulting from this federal undertaking. The Class III inventory covered 191 acres of private land located northwest of Fort Lupton in Sections 1 and 12, T2N, R67W, in Weld County, Colorado. A segment of the historic Meadow Island Ditch No. 1 (5WL6107.2) and a field ditch (5WL8064.1) were located and newly recorded by SWCA during fieldwork. Both of the newly recorded ditch segments have been recommended as not supporting the overall NRHP eligibility of the overall historic linear resource. Because both resources are recommended as non -supporting of NRHP eligibility, no historic properties are located within the project area and no additional work is recommended.

My husband and I are very concerned with the amount of trucks that would be entering and existing that area. As it is the semi trucks fly down County Road 23. It is very dangerous. Last week I witnessed one going way too fast came around the curve and could not stay in his lane due to his speed. Another concern is we believe that it will lower our property value with that pit right behind us. We have been told that Bennett has several gravel pits still open that he runs a few trucks a week through just so he doesn't have to restore them to their natural habitat. I believe if that is true he will do the same here and our property value will drop. Another concern is the amount of dust and noise we will incur due to the operation of the gravel pit. We feel like it is being put right in our back yard and the exit right by our neighbors front door. It is our hope that the gravel pit is not approved for this area. Thank You, George and Pat Sagner 11097 CR 22 1/2 Fort Lupton, CO 80621 George cell - 303-506-6379 Pat cell - 303-229-2386 1 Esther Gesick From: Sent: To: Subject: Julie Cozad Tuesday, December 4, 2018 9:05 PM Esther Gesick; Tom Parko Jr. Fwd: Gravel Pit Site USR 17-0072 Please make this email a part of the public record.

Hello Julie, Our neighbor made us aware of the plans to approve yet another gravel pit that will greatly increase the traffic on CR 23. We would like to see this denied, at least until other sites are closed. The traffic on our road is terrible. The trucks use their jake brakes without regard for us and this will only make the disturbance worse. There is already too much traffic and there are too many accidents at the crossroads of CR 23 and highway 52.
