The Simpsons have indicated that they plan on planting a crop of winter wheat in this particular area. I hope this will alleviate any future problems with dust. Very truly yours, /S/ r R. Russell Anson Assistant County Attorney RRA:cc V J 4 \ Kit- . •ate' '!;,:�' ;?+' x2°f• COLORADO July 16, 1976 Mr. Louis Simpson Star Route, Box 8 Hudson, Colorado 80642 Dear Sir: Be advised that this office represents the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County. The Board has received a complaint from a neighboring property owner of blowing dust from your property onto his property. In accordance with Section 35-72-103, CRS 1973 , when the Board of County Commissioners receives a complaint in regard to blowing dust, it must make an investigation to determine what can be done to prevent future blowing of soil from one property to another. Mr. Olson of the Engineering Department made an inspection of the property and is of the opinion that this blowing of dust has con- tinued over quite some period of time. This letter is a request that you take some kind of action to prevent blowing of dust from your property to your neighbor ' s property. If this problem is not alleviated in the future, the Board of County Commissioners will have no alternative but to take appropriate action under Section 35-72-103, CRS 1973. Very truly yours , R. Russell Anson Assistant County Attorney RRA: cc cc: V. Jacobucci • C. Peterson I • • 'won _ . 4 0' • 11 PIDE) • To Russell Anson Date July 7, 1976 • COLORADO From Gilman E. Olson Subject: Clyde Peterson complaint dated 6-24-76 (Dust blowing and ditch erosion) An on site inspection of the Peterson property was made July 6 , 1976 at about 3 : 00 P .M. , also talked to Mr. Peterson. There is evidence of much blowing of dust as the fence line between the Peterson property and the Simpson property is full of dirt causing a high ridge at this point . The worst being the west one half , more or less , of the division line along with the northeast corner of the Peterson property, and the east line of the Simpson property. I would estimate that Mr . Peterson is unable to farm a strip of his land about 10 feet to 20 feet all along the west one half , more or less , of his north line. The irrigation ditch mentioned in the complaint is eroding into Mr. Peterson ' s property and he has had to move the fence to the south to keep it from falling into the deep ditch. After the inspection , my opinion would be this blowing of dust to "fill" the fence line has been building up for some length of time, however, at this time all indications are that Mr. Simpson has tilled subject ground in an approved summer fallow method as the field is roughed up and has slight ridges in it , but with very little straw and/or trash incorporated in the surface soil . The ditch , at this time, is in a very erosive condition and eroding very badly into Mr . Peterson ' s property , however , I would assume this would be a civil care of some kind. Perhaps a letter to Mr. Simpson stating the County Commissioners have had a complaint of "dust blowing" and "ditch erosision" of his property in the past and should this be the case in the future , some kind of an action will have to be taken. If I can be of further help in this matter , let me know. • ' Gilman` E.

HIGHWAYS SIMPSON BORROW PIT This 42-acre tract lies on eolian or wind-blown sand deposits adjacent to the partially buried valley of Beebe Draw. Although we mapped a considerable amount of wind-blown sand in the Hudson quadrangle, we showed none at this site because of a lack of definite dunal form. However, the Department of Highway's logs show more than 20 ft of usable sand, silt and clay. The 60-day mining plan calls for an average excavation of 13 ft with finished graded slopes at 15:1 . Most of the area can thus be converted to irrigable farm land. I see no problems involved with the Department's thorough plan.

IW SIMPSON PIT EXHIBIT 0: MINING PLAN This borrow site is located in an irrigated and dryland area about 2 miles southwest of Hudson, Colorado. It is adjacent to and west of Interstate Highway I-76 at station 712+00. The borrow site sets above irrigated crop land on a west facing slope. The mining plan is to excavate enough borrow material so the area will be approximately the same elevation as the adjacent irrigated crop land. As a result, the land owner should have more usable land for irrigation. The material in the borrow site consists of blowsands, silts, and clays. The blowsands are located in the top 8 feet approximately. Below the blowsands to 20 feet plus are silts and clays with an occasional sand lens. All three types of material will be excavated and used for highway construction. The following pit log shows the nature and depth of the materials.

Area No. 1 contains 32 acres. It will be excavated first. The depth of the excavation in this area will average about 13 feet. Except for a 2:1 backslope along a portion of the east boundary of this area, the slopes will be left no steeper than 15:1. Area No. 2 contains 11 acres. It is a relatively flat area adjacent to and west of area no. 1. If all the material in this area is needed, it will be excavated on a 15:1 slope or less to area no. 1. It is estimated 600,000 cubic yards could be excavated. The methods of mining are left to the contractor. However, the following are generally the phases and sequences in an operation similar to this: 1. Approximately 4 to 8" of topsoil shall be excavated and stockpiled. It will be used later during reclamation of the areas. 2. The borrow material will be excavated and hauled to the adjacent project. The material will be hauled over the newly constructed west frontage road. 3. The following is a list of equipment that could be used in the mining operation. A. Earth Moving Scrapers - used for stripping, stockpiling, and replacing the top 4 to 8" of material - can also be used for hauling borrow to the project site. B. Bottom Dump Trucks - used for hauling borrow to project site. C. Crawlers - generally used for pushing scrapers while loading, and for pit maintenance. D. Motor Graders - used for building and maintaining haul roads. E. Rubber Tire Front End Loaders - can be used for loading trucks. F There are supporting fuel and service vehicles in and out of the pit areas for the above listed equipment. 4. After the excavation is completed, the areas will be smoothed and left in a neat condition. Unsightly humps and depressions will be SIMPSON PIT EXHIBIT D: MINING PLAN "CONTINUED" cut and/or filled. 5. The estimated time to excavate and haul the borrow material is about 60 days. This estimate is based on past performances on similar projects. The contractor is allowed some latitued on time, equipment, and sequence of operations. SIMPSON PIT • EXHIBIT E: RECLAMATION PLAN The goals of the reclamation plan are as follows: 1. Prepare area no. 1, the low land area, for growing crops. 2. Revegetate area no. 2 for pasture. Since area no. 1 will be mined to the elevation of the adjacent irrigated land, the land owner is going to irrigate and grow crops in the area. As previously noted, this is a 32 acre area. The smaller 11 acre area no. 2 is best suited for pasture, its premining use. It will still be too high for irrigation after the excavation and also the land owner desires this pasture for his livestock. These proposed post mining uses are consistent and compatible with the surrounding agricultural activities. Implementation of the reclamation plan will have no adverse affect on the water, wildlife, air, soil or vegetation. WATER Surface and ground water systems will not be affected. WILDLIFE The Division of Wildlife stated in their letter that the mining impact on wildlife will be very minor. The irrigated hay that will probably be growing in area no. 1 and the immediate revegetation of area no. 2 will provide a covered landscape for the smaller animals living in the area. AIR The action of the mild winds blowing in the area almost daily ventilates the area. Except for a slight increase in dust during construction there will be no adverse affect on air quality. SOIL Approximately 4 to 8" of soil will be stripped and stockpiled before the excavation of the borrow material. After the excavation is s SIMPSON PIT EXHIBIT E: RECLAMATION PLAN "CONTINUED" complete it will be placed over the mined areas. It does not contain any toxic materials and it will not come into contact with any toxic material. Other than disturbing the soils, there will be no adverse affect. VEGETATION Following are the revegetation and/or fertilizing types and rates for each area. AREA NO. 1 Before any fertilizing is placed the previously stockpiled topsoil will be placed over the area as uniformly as possible 4 to 8" thick. Next the area will be fertilized. Since this area will be used for irrigation crops, it was felt heavy cow manure would be the best type. Therefore, this fertilizer when spread at the rate of 18 tons per acre will yield 180 lbs. of nitrogen per acre. The land owner will plant a crop in the following season. AREA NO. 2 This area will be reclaimed for its premining use as range pasture. Again, 4 to 8" of topsoil will be placed over the area as uniformly as possible. Next, it will be seeded, fertilized and mulched. The following types and rates will be used and have been agreed upon by the land owner, Colorado Division of Highways and the Soil Conservation Service. SEEDING PERCENT PERCENT RATE COMMON NAME BOTANICAL NAME PURITY GERMINATION PLS/ACRE Crested Wheat Agropyron Cristatum 90 85 4 (Fairway Strain) Sand Lovegrass Eragrostis Trichodes 95 70 1 Sand Dropseed Sporoholus Cryptandrus 95 85 1 Annual Rye Grass Lolium Multiflorum 95 90 6 Alfalfa (Nomad Strain Medicago Sativa 99 85 1 or Rhizoma Strain) Switchgrass Panicum Virgatum 90 80 1 * Winter Wheat Tirticum Aestirm 99 90 15 (Witchita Strain) Total PLS/ACRE - SEEDING 29 SIMPSON PIT EXHIBIT E: RECLAMATION PLAN "CONTINUED" * Winter Wheat is to be used if seeding is done in the fall. If seeding is done in the spring, 10 PLS/ACRE of Proso Millet (95%) will be substituted for Winter Wheat. FERTILIZER LBS/ACRE LBS/ACRE PERCENT AVAILABLE AVAILABLE RATE COMMERCIAL FERTILIZER AVAILABLE NITROGEN SUPERPHOSPHATE LBS/ACRE Available Nitrogen 18 50 278 (18-0-0) Available Superphosphate 45 100 222 (0-45-0) Total LBS/ACRE - Fertilizer 500 MULCHING Material for mulching shall consist of Prairie Hay applied at the rate of 1 1/2 tons/acre. It is estimated the seeding, fertilizing, and mulching, for both areas, will take approximately 4 days. SIMPSON PIT EXHIBIT G: WATER INFORMATION There will be no water diversion or impoundment since the operation does not affect surface or ground water systems. SIMPSON PIT EXHIBIT H: WILDLIFE INFORMATION On May 12, 1977, Don Bogart, environmental biologist for the design of wildlife, inspected the Simpson borrow area.

Mine Type and Location : Dry pastureland for highway fill-parts of the S z, SW4, and parts of the SE47 S16, 1N, 65W. 0 P6 QTS �Y t\t/�� U.-•%saA G-So-77 3. Duration of Operation : One year - possibly less 4. Total Area Disturbed : 38 acres 5. Wildlife Species List : Jackrabbits and some passerine birds and small rodents 6. Endangered Species Impacted : None 7. Assessment of Mining Impact on Wildlife : Very minor - the area has very sparse cover of grasses and forbs. 8. Proposed Mitigation Measures Including Reclamation for Wildlife Habitat The area will be mined to a level with the river bottom land and reclained by fertilization and leveling and used as irrigated farm land. The slopes will be reclaimed and reseeded to SCS standards.

Information with respect to yield goal,plantingdate, manure and fertilizer applied, previous crop and residue, method of irrigation, and method of fertilizer application, is directly related to re- commending fertilizer application to provide adequate plant nutrients for the proposed crop. Cow manure is valued on the basis of 5 lb/ton N, 2 Ib/ton P2O5, and 5 lb/ton potash. If manure to be applied is dry,not diluted with soil or excessive straw, and has not been leached, these values can be increased up to 100%. Other manures are valued according to their average analysis. GENERAL ANALYSIS Texture- LoSn, SnLo (light); Lo, SiLo, SnCILo, SiCILo, CILo (Medium); SnCI, SIC', CI (Heavy) pH(H2O) - This is the normal soil pH indicating acid (less than 7), neutral (near 7), alkaline (over 7)or free lime (over 8). Best range for most crops is pH 6-7. pH(salt) - Used in conjunction with pH(H2O) as an indicator of excess soil salts. If the two are nearly the same, high salts are indicated. _ pH(buffer)-Used to calculate the lime requirement for acid soils. CEC - Cation exchange capacity (FEC Field exchange capacity)- an index of the soils ability to store exchangeable cations (ammonium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sodium and acidity). Varies from about 3 in very light soils to about 30 in heavy high OM sots. SALT - An index of excessive soluble salts in the soil water. Poor germination and reduced growth may be expected according to the following table• SALT 0 -2 No significant effect - - 2-4 Sensitive crops effected, beans and garden crops 4 -8 Many crops effected, except beets, alfalfa, grains _ 8-4- Most crops effected Na- Sodium- An index of the exchangeable sodium in the soil If Na/CEC is greater than .15 soil is classified as alkali Lime - Free lime tends to cause many soil nutrients to become"fixed" and rendered substantially unavailable. OM-Organic matter provides nitrogen and moisture holding capacity. • OrgN- Organic nitrogen is the nitrogen calculated (lb/acre)to be released by the OM during the growing season. AVAILABLE NUTRIENTS Reported in parts per million (all test levels are available, total element is usually higher) NO3 - Nitrate nitrogen. 1 ppm NO3 - N is equivalent to from 2 to 4 lb/acre N depending on crop and soil conditions. The NO3 -N test is particularly important for crops such as sugar beets and potatoes where regulation of the total N supply is critical. NH4 - Ammonia nitrogen -Usually low as applied ammonia and ammonium fertilizer convert to NO3 -N. P - Phosphorus - 1 ppm phosphorus is equivalent to 4.6 lb/acre phosphoric acid (P2O5). Applied P2O5 becomes "fixed" to a large degree and releases only a fraction each season, therefore the soil test is not a meosure of total previous application but is a measure of the fraction currently available. K - Potassium- 1 ppm potassium is equivalent to 2.4 lb/acre potash (K2O). Potash requirement is determined by the cation "balance" method according to the intended crop. ' Ca & Mg -Calcium and Magnesium-Used primarily in calculating CEC. For calcium and magnesium deficiency see "Lime". S - Sulphur- This is the level of chemically combined sulfur (SO4-S) in the soil. Recently applied elemental sulfur is not included. B (Boron), Zn (Zinc), Fe(Iron), Mn (Manganese), Cu(Copper) These are trace elements or micronutrients, required at relatively low levels, Inorganic forms of iron (ferrous sulfate)become "fixed" in alkaline soil, therefore specific recommendations are usually not made for alkaline soils. Some cheloted iron fertilizers are stable in alkaline soils and foliar spray is effective. Recommendations for all trace elements are in pounds of actual element in inorganic form. If chelates or other organic forms are used, refer to the manufacturers instructions. A smaller amount is usually required. Lime - Lime is recommended to bring a low ph soil into a more desireable range. Where both calcium and magnesium ore deficient a Dolomitic Limestone should be used. COMMENTS SIMPSON PIT EXHIBIT J: VEGETATION INFORMATION Attached is an inventory of the vegetation in the borrow area prepared by the Soil Conservation Service Office, P.O. Box 487, Brighton, Colo. 80601. This inventory lists species, % composition, and mature height. In the summary, the predominant vegetation is cheatgrass and western wheatgrass. These two represent about 70% of the total. The balance of the vegetation is crested wheatgrass, blue grama and mustard weed/ annual forbs. The estimated carrying capacity of the area is one annual unit per month per 3 acres. �e .. UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE - P.O. Box 487 - Brighton, Co. 80801 SUBJECT: Vegetative Analysis of Simpson Borrow Area DATE: 5-12-77 TO: Mr. Kenneth Wood Asst. District Materials Engineer Colorado Division of Highways P.Q. Box 850 Greeley, Co. 80631 Dear Mr. Wood: The following is a vegetative -analysis of the Simpson Borrow Area, located in the NWvr,,).�6, TIN, R65W. A- ,a.. i D s ►v4 y' ?"c The area is pr sditly classified as non-irrigated pastureland. The species of grasses found on the site are not native but rather are seeded or introduced species. The following is a composite of these species, their percentage composition and mature heights: SPECIES .% Composition Mature Height Crested Wheatgrass 15% 12-16 inches Western Wheatgrass 30% 12-16 inches Blue Grama 5% 6-8 inches Cheatgrase 40% 8 inches Mustard Weed/annual forbs 10% 14-16 inches The area to the northwest, inside the fenced area, is Intermediate Wheatgrass with a 70-807 ground cover. This grass will attain a mature height of 24-30 inches. I hope this information will be satisfactory for your needs. If you should need any further information or assistance, please feel free to call on me. Sincerely,CliNorman J.
