NON -URBANIZING areas.
Detention pond waived and a simple drainage narrative:
A drainage narrative is required and full drainage report and detention pond waived if the site qualifies for
an exception to detention requirements listed below.

This site is not in a defined Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) area which is a more urbanized
area with state mandated, higher water quality requirements
Grading Permit
Grading permits are not required for mining activities, however a Grading Permit may be required for over
one (1) acre of ground disturbed for construction of roads, driveways, buildings, parking areas, accesses,
drainage facilities, landscaping or other construction not directly in the mined area.
A Weld County Grading Permit will be required if disturbing more than 1 acre. Grading Permit applications

Hayley Brown,
In regard to the Weld County Public Works proposed gravel pit (Peters 313 Pit, USR16-0032),
am requesting a variance for the drainage of the site. The site will be excavated using methods
that will allow for drainage back into the site. There will be no drainage that exits the site, on to
parcels that are not included in this USR. Storm water historically flows to the south side of the
site. There are no areas within the site that have drainage issues. The natural flow patterns do
not cause a buildup of storm water.
Sincerely,
Evan Pinkham

Entrance gates (if applicable) must be set back a minimum of 100 feet from edge of shoulder to allow a
truck with trailer or RV to pull completely off of the roadway and open the gate. In no case shall any
vehicle(s) stopped to open a gate be allowed to create a safety issue for roadway users.
Roads:
County Road 136.5 is a gravel road and is designated on the Weld County Road Classification Plan as a
local road, which requires 60 feet of right-of-way at full buildout. The applicant shall delineate on the site
plan the future and existing right-of-way. All setbacks shall be measured from the edge of future right-of-
way. This road is maintained by Weld County.
Traffic:
Latest ADT on CR 71 was taken on 10/01/2015 which counted 105 vpd with 44% trucks.

roadways.
A development standard will be included on the recorded site plan. "The access shall be maintained to
mitigate any impacts to the public road including damages and/or offsite tracking."
Improvements and Road Maintenance Agreement:
No improvements agreement will be required as the anticipated traffic is less than 21 round truck trips/day
or 50 round passenger vehicle trips/day or if defined as a Site Plan Review (SPR). A development standard
will be applied to the recorded map indicating any impacts to the road must be mitigated by the owner. The
access on the site shall be maintained to mitigate any impacts to the public road including damages and/or
offsite tracking.

Re: USR16-0032 Peters c/o Weld County Public Works
Environmental Health Services has reviewed this proposal for a Site
Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for
mining or recovery of other mineral deposits and materials
processing (gravel mining) in the A (Agricultural) Zone District.
As this is a temporary use, portable toilets and bottled water are acceptable for
sanitary uses.
Noise will be restricted to the level allowed in the industrial zone district.
Dust abatement will consist of utilizing a water truck with water brought in from
County owned wells that are permitted for dust control use.
Environmental Health Services recommends that the following requirements be
incorporated into the permit as development standards:
1. All liquid and solid wastes (as defined in the Solid Wastes Disposal
Sites and Facilities Act, 30-20-100.5, C.R.S.) shall be stored and
removed for final disposal in a manner that protects against surface and
groundwater contamination.
2. No permanent disposal of wastes shall be permitted at this site. This is
not meant to include those wastes specifically excluded from the
definition of a solid waste in the Solid Wastes Disposal Sites and
Facilities Act, 30-20-100.5, C.R.S.
3. Waste materials shall be handled, stored, and disposed in a manner
that controls fugitive dust, fugitive particulate emissions, blowing debris,
and other potential nuisance conditions. The applicant shall operate in
