"' �9 .\A Zoning posesforproblem Zoning regulations may further complicate the CF&I request for a special use per- mit to mine limestone in the Deep Creek • area of nor- theastern Garfield County, it was reported )Monday. County Building Inspector Bud Milner told the county commissioners that while the quarrying operation and a crushing plant world meet county zoning regulations. CF&I's proposal for a sanitary landfill and waste disposal area on its property would not. I1l1Iner explained the land on which the quarry is to be built is zoned Agricultural Rural Residential Density (ARRDI. Sanitary landfills and mineral waste disposal are not allowed. even as a special use, ruder that zoning, he said. However, Milner said the landfill would be allowed un- der the open space zoning of nearby federal land, but Would require a permit from the U.S. Forest Service or the Bureau of Land Management (BLJ fl, CF&I will have mining claims on surrounding federal land if its operation is approved. The commissioners briefly considered options which would allow the CF&I proposal to -proceed. but decided instead to inform the steel company of the problem and let its officials handle it. "I don't think we want to get into a zone change for them," Commissioner Larry Velasquez said. He added CF&I should be treated as any other developer would be. and he said that changing the zoning regulations to allow sanitary landfills under ABRD zoning .could have serious con- sequences throughout the county. Velasquez was also con- cerned about potential taxes that would he available to the count\ if the quarry is up. proved. He• questioned whether limestone would he included under the minerals severance tax .recently passed by the Colorado Legislature, and asked if there is anv way of requiring the company to license its heavy equiptnent in Garfield rather than its home base of Pueblo County, "They are going to have het - ween $4 and $5 million of equipment in Garfield County alone," he said. "Most of that will be trucks and heavy equipment. I1 may have a hell of a bearing on this." Velasquez asked county of- ficials to investigate both questions. The commissioners also looked at ways of limiting the expansion of training claims in the area if the CF&I permit is approved. Velasquez suggested placing 0 limit on mining claims above• a certain elevation, which he said would effectively restrict expansion of the claims. But County Atty. Gerald Harlert said that although the county could limit expansion on the CF&I claims as a con- dition of approval of the special use permit, it would he difficult to do so on other privately held claims. He explained that Velasquez' suggestion amoun- ted to a rezoning of the remaining claims. and would therefore have to go through the rezoning process. ile in- dicated. however, that other requests might be turned down to protect caves in the area. Commissioner Flaven Cerise suggested the county set up a meeting With officials of the Forest Service and BLJ1 to discuss restricting ex- pansion of quarrying operations i n 1 he area. ATTACHMENT Colorado Fuel and Iron Corporation has made application to Garfield County for approval of a special use permit for industrial operations for construction of a limestone quarry and related facilities. Quarry and Crushing Plant The limestone project for which a permit is sought will be located on a tract of land approximately three to five miles WNW of Dotsero, Colorado. The tract slopes upward from an elevation of approximately 6,500 feet on the east boundary to 10,000 feet in the NW corner. The entire tract is underlain by a 40- to 150 -foot thick stratum of metallurgical -grade limestone which is covered with varying depths of overburden and which generally follows the monoclinal dip of the land to the east. The quarry will be located in the E= of section 28, T. 4 S., R. 87 W. An initial area amounting to approximately 80 acres in the northeasterly portion of Tract No. 40 would comprise the active quarry site which will include topsoil storage area, drill roads, overburden stripping, and production benches. Initial production of metallurgical -grade limestone will be scheduled at a rate of 300,000 tons per year. Limestone will be quarried from 30 -foot high benches. These benches will proceed up a slope surface which dips to the northeast at about 13 degrees. Initial drilling indicates a thin layer of overburden five to 20 feet in thickness which will minimize requirements for waste disposal. As shown in the accompanying computer drawings (Exhibit B) access between the quarry and the crushing and screening facilities will be via a 65 -foot wide haul road which trends easterly at a minus five -percent grade. Conventional quarrying methods will be used; i.e., drilling with medium-sized rotary drills, blasting with water -gel and ANFO blasting agents with millisecond delay periods to minimize ground vibrations. Primary blasting will normally occur on a three-week cycle with occasional small secondary shots for "toe" and boulders. Shot rock will be loaded by a 31/2- to 4 -yard shovel and/or front-end loader into 35 - to 50 -ton trucks. This will be hauled 4,500 feet to the primary crusher (located as shown in Exhibit C) for crushing to minus 4 inches. From the primary crusher, the minus 4 -inch product is conveyed by belt to an adjacent secondary crushing and screening plant. At this plant, the stone will be separated into different sizes and. stored in piles for later blending and shipping. The screened fine material (-3/8 in. will be discarded. Fine stone and overburden waste will be used to level parking and storage areas around the quarry and mill sites and to provide surfacing for the construction and maintenance of the main haul road. Excess waste stone will be disposed of in a draw east of the mill area, terraced, treated, and revegetated. The main haul road from the crusher to'the railroad will trend easterly 6.4 miles with an alignment which provides for an average -9 percent grade. Location of this haul road is shown in Exhibit C. Additional location information may be found on Exhibit A. Transfer Feeder Facility Thirty-five to 50 -ton quarry trucks will haul the product limestone over the main haul road to a transfer facility which will span the Colorado River at a point 0.6 mi. south of where the Forest Service Road No. 600 Junction meets the county road. This facility will consist of a conveyor belt in a tube or completely covered structure to loading facilities on the east side of the Colorado River. From there, the stone will be shipped to CF&I's Steel Plant in Pueblo, Colorado. (more) STATE OF COLORADO RICHARD O.

Dale Andrus, State Director U.S. Bureau of Land Management 1600 Broadway Denver, CO 80202 Dear Mr. Andrus: At the Colorado Land Use Commission meeting of April 22, 1977, Dr. Norman Pace with the Colorado Grotto of the National Speleo-' logical Society informed the Commission of a proposal by Colorado Fuel and Iron Corporation to begin a limestone quarry operation in Garfield County. Dr. Pace requested that the Commission review the CF&I proposal and consider requesting Garfield County to designate one or more matters of state interest. The Commission passed a motion to have the LUC staff review the proposal and report back at the May 27th meeting. The staff was further directed to work with the County, other state agencies, and interested parties in this review. The Commission staff requests your assistance in conducting this review. If your response to the questions listed below results in further action by the Commission, we shall be contacting you for further detailed information. The attachment summarizes the CF&I proposal and lists reports and other documents which we can supply if necessary. Because a portion of CF&I's proposed haul road from the quarry and mill to the railroad transfer point will be on lands managed by BLM, we would like to know the following: (1) Is it possible for CF&I to obtain a permit or lease from BLM for the road and transfer facility? It is my understanding that lands adjacent to the Colorado River have been withdrawn for a possible hydroelectric facility and, therefore, may be unavailable for the transfer facility. If so, does this pose any special problem for CF&I's proposal? Mr. Dale Andrus May 13, 1977 Page 2 (2) If. BLM decides natural resource lands are available for the road and transfer facility, are there any special requirements for granting a lease or permit that Garfield and Eagle Counties or the Land Use Commission should be aware of? If so, what are those requirements? (3) Is the proposed CF&I operation compatible with existing or proposed BLM land use plans for the Deep Creek area? (4) Is the BLM aware of other metallurgical -grade limestone deposits either within Colorado or out of state which could supply CF&I's needs? (5) If Groaning Cave, an extensive limestone cavern near the proposed CF&I quarry, were designated as a National Landmark, what federal restrictions would be placed on adjacent mineral claims and future proposed quarries? (6) Are there any specific issues that BLM would like Garfield and Eagle Counties or the Land Use Commission to consider? Because the Commission wishes a report on this matter at its May 27th meeting, I would appreciate receiving a response by May 24th. I realize this is an extremely short time in which to conduct an adequate review but hope some response, either written or verbal, can be made by the 24th.

If so, what types of information would have to be supplied to the Forest Service by CF&I that Garfield and Eagle Counties or the Land Use Commission should be aware of? (2) Is the proposed CF&I operation compatible with existing or proposed USFS land use plans for the Wilson Peak - Deep Creek area? (3) Is the USFS aware of other metallurigal-grade limestone deposits either within Colorado or out of state which could supply CF&I's needs? (4) If Groaning Cave, an extensive limestone cavern near the proposed CF&I quarry, were designated as a National Landmark, would adjacent mineral claims on USFS lands be affected? If so, how? Would any quarries that might be proposed in the future be affected? If so, to what extent? (5) Have the non -mineral resources of the Wilson Peak -Deep Creek area been inventoried? Specifically, does the USFS have informa- tion relating to the area's wildlife species and habitats, water resources, vegetation, and recreational potential and use? If so, is that information readily available? (6) Are there any specific issues that the USFS would like Garfield and Eagle Counties or the Land Use Commission to consider?

At this time we want to know: (1) Will„Mined Land Reclamation Board permit be required before this proposed operation can begin? If so, will the permit address reclamation plans for the crushing and screening facilities and the haul roads as well as the quarry itself? (2) The Mined Land Reclamation Board's Rule 4.11(4) states that the application must contain a letter from the local government specifying conformance with existing zoning regulations. Is a letter from the local government stating that such conformance is contingent upon the operation receiving the Board's permit acceptable? Since the haul road is located in Eagle County as well as Garfield County, is a similar letter required from Eagle County? May 13, 1977 Mr. Larry Brown Page 2 (3) It has been stated that because of the numerous limestone caverns in the area it is difficult to say whether road building excavation and quarry blasting will pollute ground water or disrupt existing flow patterns. Will the Board's Rule 6.2a require the operator to conduct additional studies and provide specific hydrological and water quality data? If so, what additional studies and data are required? (4) If the CF&I operation includes or will impact areas which are considered critical or significant wildlife habitats, does the Board have any specific requirements for dealing with these areas beyond having the mining and reclamation plans take these into account? If so, what are those specific requirements? (5) Do the rules and regulations of the Board address the potential impacts of quarry blasting on the nearby limestone caverns? If so, are any additional studies and data required? (6) Are there any specific issues that the Board would like Garfield and Eagle Counties or the Land Use Commission to consider?

C. i:ilner Building Official Garfield County 2014 Blake Avenue Glenwood Springs, CO 81601 Dear V r. t:ilner: We have reviewed the copy of the CF&I application for a special use permit for construction and operation of a limestone quarry and related facilities. We wish to submit the following comments for your consideration and for inclusion in the hearing record of this project. Our particular interest is in the reclamation, plan of this application since we know of no limestone quarries in Colorado which have been successfully reclaimed. It is essential that proof of reclamation success be shown before mining takes place and before a reclamation plan is accepted. The REclamation Plan submitted by CF&I with its application is incomplete and inadequate. This may be due at least in part to the fact that the information base for that area does not now exist to determine the most suitable method of reclamation for the site. It is stated that CF&I has a contract with Colorado State University and that experiments will help determine the reclamation methods. However, it is not com- pletely clear if these experiments will be conducted before raining takes place or if the experiments will be conducted as part of the reclamation plan. It is our opinion that all the necessary baseline data on vegetation, soils, wildlife, ground water, etc. should be gathered and experiments concluded before mining takes place. The reclamation plan should be based on the information obtained from the experiments. The necessity of having the research completed before the' reclamation plan is formulated appears also to be the conclusion of the authors of the Prospectus which was submitted as part of the Reclamation Plan. The Prospectus states that the "de— gree of reliability" in identifying the practices necessary for acceptable restora— tion depends on the "research data from studies dealing with each vegetation ecosys— tem specifically." There are several statements in the Reclamation Plan which should be clarified. For example, the plan states that seeding "will continue as long as necessary to insure adequate cover...." Does this mean that the seeding will be repeated until there is establishment of vegetation to the density before mining? Since the sub— sequent use of the land is intended to be for "wildlife habitation" will the "ade— quate cover"be sufficient to support large game animals, predators, rodents, etc.? The intended subsequent use of the site is an important aspect of the revegetation. a state-wide environmental coordinating council April 5, 1977 Page 2 In other words, what will the vegetation be adequate for? Also it is unclear what will be done about the seeding. On page 7 of the Prospectus the authors point out that "less than 10% of the viable seeds emerge and less than 50% of those survive beyond the growing season." Success of reclamation does not depend on whether or not vegetation appears at the beginning of the first growing season, but rather whe- ther or not vegetation will continue to appear season after season over a period of years. The applicant should be held responsible until the vegetation has been suc- cessfully established through several seasons. The Reclamation Plan states that "finer waste from mill operations will be placed over the relatively coarser overburden waste..." We assume that the chemical com- position of this waste is known. How will this affect vegetation! If the chemical composition is such that there could be detrimental effects on vegetation and ground water, how will it be controlled? Again, it is our opinion that there should be a determination of the chemical composition of all waste materials and their effect on vegetation and ground water before mining takes place or a reclamation plan accepted. The Reclamation plan should also include a timetable and maps which show how much and when each phase of the mining and reclamation plan will be completed. This is the only way that one will be able to determine if the company is proceeding as it said it would. The section on Haul Roads is particularly unacceptable, in our opinion. How are benches and "near vertical high walls" going to be reclaimed? We certainly concur that the road will "pose several unique reclamation problems." How these problems will be solved should be spelled out in detail and research and experimentation com- pleted before any haul roads are constructed. Finally, we share the concerns of the Colorado Chapter of the National Spelio- logical Society in regard to the blasting. There was no information in our copy of the CF&I application on the frequency, duration, and intensity of the blasting opera- tions. The effect of repeated blasting on nearby caves and on wildlife has not been addressed in the application. We do not believe that the results of the large shot which was monitored at Monarch !quarry is sufficient to determine the cumulative ef- fect of repeated blasting. The report included with the application states that the results of the large shot at Monarch Quarry can be used to predict "the ground motions to be expected from a thirty ton blast at distances of about 5000' in a geologic environment similar to that characterizing the Monarch Quarry." It says nothing about the effect of repeated blasting. It was pointed out that Groaning Cave may have up to 19 miles of passageways, only four miles of which have been surveyed. Certainly there is little evidence in the report that the safety of Groaning Cave and others in the area will not be affected by repeated blasting. We suggest that more information be requested from the applicant on this matter. Sincerely yours, COLORADO OPEN SPACE COUNCIL 1'ary C. Taylor APRs 7 1977 GARFIELD CO.

As a resident of Eagle, I feel it will have more of an effect in Eagle Coonty than in Garfield. The ouary would not only destroy a really beautiful area, but I believe it would have an adverse effect on living conditions in Eagle County. Right now there is a housing shortage in the lower Eagle Valley, and what housing there is is expensive. With the Interstate highway going through, it can only get worse. If Adams Rib ski area is approved, it could be disasterous. The cheapest house now for sale in Eagle is 537,000. There is just too much happening too fast. It is hard for me to believe that this is the only limestone that C.F.GI. can mine. They once operated en iron mine in the San Luis valley where the ore was in limestone. what about the ouary just north of Glenwood Springs? Is it still useable? Please rule against their application. There are just too many things against it, and almost no benefits. Thank you far reading my letter. 8'cerely, APR_ 7lE7 GARFIELD CO.

Box 847 Canon City, Colorado 81212 Attn: Mr. Curtis Miller Superintendent of Quarries Dear Curt: The purpose of this letter is to inform you of a meeting to be held by the County Planning Commission reviewing the CF&I special use request on Monday, April 11, 1977 at 7:30 P.M. in the County Courthouse. The County Commissioners have referred the special use application to the Planning Commission for their recommendation. This meeting will be for the purpose of covering all the material in the application and gathering any public testimony. I plan to recommend to the Planning Commission that they not plan to make a decision on a recommendation that night, but rather, use this night to examine and listen. After this meeting with the Planning Commission, I anticipate setting a public hearing date with the County Commissioners, so that the Planning Commission knows the deadline for their recommendation, and everyone else involved knows when a final decision will be made. For the purposes of this Planning Commission meeting, I would suggest to you that you treat it as a full public hearing. Although the statutory public hearing will follow later, because of the interest generated by this request, and the fact that this is the first public meeting concerning it, all parties to the meeting should be prepared to present all their information and comments as well as answer questions. As soon as I get an agenda together for this meeting, I will send one to you. If you have any questions prior to the meeting, please give Bud or me a call. Sincerely, RAW/kay Robert A. Witkowski Director STATE OF COLORADO Richard D. Lamm, Governor DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES DIVISION OF WILDLIFE Jack R. Grieb, Director 6060 Broadway Denver, Colorado 80216 (826-1192) April 10, 1977 Mr. W. C. Milner Garfield County Building Inspector 2014 Blake Avenue Glenwood Springs, Colorado 81601 Dear Mr. Milner, Thank you for your letter dated February 15, 1977 regarding the C. F. & I. Steel Corporation request for a Special Use Permit to operate a limestone quarry. We appreciate the opportunity to review and comment on the proposed request. How severe the impacts of this quarry will be on the wildlife resources of Garfield and Eagle Counties will depend on three factors: (1) The extent of the C. F. & I. quarry; (2) the number and extent of similar quarries which may be approved later in this general area; and (3) the extent to which Division recommendations are implemented. Wide-ranging wildlife may or may not tolerate an eighty acre quarry and the necessary processing facilities, but the disturbance and alteration of nearly 6000 acres under mining claims in this area would have drastic effects on wildlife populations. The Division of Wildlife believes that C. F. & I. has not adequately complied with section 4.03.07 of the Zoning Resolution of Garfield County (1973) and specifically paragraph 1 (c) of that section. The C. F. & I. impact statement dated February 2, 1977 is incomplete, misleading and filled with misinformation, specifically with regards to wildlife. 1.) It states that the actual affected land will amount to 4,411 acres in Garfield County and 779 acres in Eagle County, but it does not mention which areas. (other than the initial eighty acre quarry) will be affected and to what extent it will be affected. With the large investments required for initial construction of the road and the processing facilities, it appears the quarry will eventually exceed the eighty acre request. 2.)It states there will be no impacts on wildlife migration routes and speculates rodent and prey populations will be increased. Removal of large areas of sage, oak, serviceberry aspen and Douglas fir will have a negative impact on local deer, elk, mountain lion and blue grouse populations, and depending on the extent and location of the operation could impact migration routes. 3.) There is no mention of plant species that will be used, nor water available for revegataf,n..There is no mention of cover stands or migration routes left available while old quarry sites are reveg- atating, assuming the eighty acre quarry will be expanded. DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES, Harris Sherman, Executive Director • WILDLIFE COMMISSION, Vernon C. Williams, Chairman Thomas Farley, Vice Chairman • Sam Caudill, Secretary • Jean K. Tool, Member • Roger Clark, Member Jay K. Childress, Member • Dean Hull, Member • Dean Suttle, Member page 2 April 10, 1977 The Division of Wildlife believes that the impact statement presented by C. F. & I. is nothing more than a four year plan of operation and for this reason we must oppose the issuance of the Special Use Permit. Approximately half of the area under mineral claim by C. F. &. I. is critical deer and elk winter range with about three-fourths of the area being utilized by deer and elk this winter. Recent ground and air surveys have identified deer and elk using the area where the quarry operations are planned. In 1975, game management unit 34 in which these mining claims are located, had the highest number of elk hunters per square mile and the fourth highest elk kill per square mile of any game management unit in the state 1/. During the summer of 1971 a mountain lion with three unborn kittens was killed on the mineral claim area. During the winter of '75-'76, two lions with two cubs each were inhabiting areas within one-half mile of the mineral claims. Using projections from recent surveys 2/ of sportsmens expenditures, only those deer and elk hunters,hunting in game management unit 34 spent $240,000 in Garfield and Eagle County during the 1975 big game season. The Division of Wildlife fe1s this quarry will result in a net loss of wildlife habitat, both directly and indirectly, and will produce on - and off-site adverse impacts affecting wildlife. There are several topics discussed in the C. F. &.I. impact statement having biological significance with regards to wildlife impacts: HAULAGE: The Division of Wildlife does not agree with the conclusion that a conveyor belt would have more visual and environmental impact than a road. A sixty-five foot wide road would be as visible, if not more visible than a conveyor belt and its service road. It would remove more habitat and be more dangerous to wildlife. The conclusion that the mechanical movement of a conveyor belt would be more detrimental than that of trucks is not valid. Any haulage system should be developed on north facing slopes only and as far away from Deep Creek as possible. 1/ Division of Wildlife. 1976. 1975 Colorado Big Game Harvest. Dept. Natl.

RECLAMATION/REVEGATATION: Only native plant species should be used for revegatation with similar relationship of trees, grasses and schrubs existing before removal. Water used for fugative dust control could better be used for revegatation. With a conveyor haulage system, their water should be stipulated to this use. TRAFFIC: C. F. & I. should look into the possibilities of transporting employees from the dump site to the plant site by means of bus. This would minimize wildlife -auto accidents, additional disturbance, and the traditional associated game violations. Sincerely,�'7ry Lar L.

(CF&I) proposal for a limestone quarry in the northeastern section of the county, the county planning commission Was told Monday right In a public meeting to consider a special use permit for the limestone quarry in the Deep Creek -Willow Peak area the planning com- mission heard from a representative el CF&I aS well as numerous people who requested more information about the proposal. An impact statement submitted by the steel company for the proposed quarry shows an m - acre quarry site and a nearby plant for processing the limestone covering another 60 acres. The plant would be on private land near the edge of the White River National Forest. In addition the company would cofietruddl a facility for.,lrading the mineral onto. railroad Continued from Page 1 Ile said A is im- possible to determine what ef- fect the dumping of sediment from the quarries may have on ground wafer supplies. Many persons questioned the CF&1 impact statement, which cited information from blasting done at the com- pany's quarry near Monarch Pass as evidence That blasting will have little effect on the caves. Link and others maintained that the effects of blasting in that area may bear little relation to the effects it could cars at the Colorado River about De miles north of Dotsero. An enclosed conveyor would carry the limestone across the state highway and river to the railroad cars. CF&l proposes to build a road approximately seven miles long and 65 feet wide to connect the quarry and processing plant with the loading facility. The mad would be solely for the use of the company's trucks and would eliminate the need for the trucks to use the present U.S. Forest Service road to the area. Much of the concern expressed about the proposal centers on the total amount of land in the area with mining claims on it — some 5,000 acres. Led by the Mount Sopris chapter of the Sierra Club and the Colorado Grotto of the U.S. SpeleologicalSociety, membersof the audience questioned why so much land is under claim, and asked if the 80 -acre quarry might burgeon. Into a muchlarger operation. Curtis Miler, superintendent of quarries t6 , have in the DeepCreek area. There is not enough eviden- ce, they said, to prove that caves like the Groaning Cave, reportedly the second largest in the Western United Slates, would not be damaged by the blasting. Also questioned were the company's claims that the dust and noise problems from the quarry and the road with the mammoth ore trucks traveling it would be minimal. Again people said, there was not enough information to justify Madelyn. Others questioned the effect co D. A. Link, chairman of the Mt Sopris Chapter of the Siena Club, listens to discussion of the proposed CF&I limestone quarry in the Deep Creek area during Monday night's planning commission meeting. In the background u Curtis Miller of the quarry and road would have on wildlife in the area, whether conveyors could be used rather than trucks to move the minerals to the loading facility, and whether the loading facility could be moved to the 1-70 corridor rather than the Colorado River Road. Several people questioned Miller's claim that the proposed quarry site H nearly the only feasible limestone Ste in Colorado. A Denver at- torney Ltorney who said he worked for several trucking firms main- tained aimtained that CF&I could economically mine and tran- sport the mineral from sites in Wyoming and Kansas. Link presented a haiGmur slide show on the area and the caves, and offered to the plan- ning commission a I7 -page document questioning most of the CF&l impact statement. ' Link said he represented not only the Sierra Club but a group of citizens which has been meeting weekly for the past two months to discuss the quarry. And he said a petition of concern about the proposal now has 300 signatures and is stili being circulated. Not everyone at the meeting was so worried about the ef- fects of the quarry, however. Bill Moulton, a Silt -area ran- cher. said he likes the com- pany's Monarch quarry and thinks copper strip mines inUlah are beautiful. He asked the planning com- mission to consider CF&I's record as a "good neighbor" and remember the many steel products the company CF&1, maintained there "will not be a 4,000 - acre quarry." He said the 60 -acre site with its deep limestone deposits would provide Ole steel Company with limestone for approximately 72 years. 'We're not asking for or planning for 'la larger quarry(,' he said. "We don't need it." Miller said the Company will seek other mining claims in the area to act as a buffer zone around the quarry. "1 like to be out all by myself with a quarry, and this is an excellent opportunity;' he said. Miner also indicated that few of the remaining mining claims had Limestone deposits of sufficient quality to make quarrying economically feasible. Miller's explanations failedlo allay all d the fears, however. D.A.

Similarly, Glenwood Springs resident Stan Dodson urged the commission and the audience to 'think of priorities" "We need steel," he said. "Let's help CF&1 get limestone here or in another location as judiciously as possible. John Savage of Rifle said he supported the proposal since it provided multiple use of the land. He suggested that mining claims above the caves should be purchased to prevent damage tolhecaves. The planning commission look no action on the proposal Monday, but is expected to study it and make a recom- mendation to the county com- missioners next month. The commissioners Monday set a mid-June date for a public hearing on the proposal and will make a decision 15 days after the hearing. Originally Monday they scheduled the public hearing for Aug. 15 to give them more time to visit the area and review the proposal.r However, they needed CF&I approval to set the hearing later than this month, so in conversations with Miller they worked out the compromise date for June. Garfield County approval is one of nine government agen- cies gercies that must give approval to some part of the CF&1 plan, Miller said. Others include Eagle County, the Colorado Department of Mines and the Army Corneal Engineers. large claims in the area. Robert Scarrow of Glenwood own on which the quarry would be built.

ICF&II will meet with the Garfield County Plan- •ning Commission tonight to seek approval of a special use permit for a limestone quarry in the northeastern section of the county. AI least one group, however, will ask That approval of the request be withheld until more detailed information and analysis of the impacts of the quarry are available. A number of area citizens, led by II1e MI. Sopris Chapter of the Sierra Club, are skep- tical of several parts of the CF&I proposal, including the potential air pollution problem, possible detriment to recreation in the area, and future expansion of the quarry. According lothe proposal CF&I would develop an 80 - acre limestone quarry' on properly now owned by Robert Scarrow about 10 miles southeast of Deep Lake near Willow Peak. The company wouldalso construct .an 80-acremill for proeessiog the limestone on proposed quarry, Link said, but they do not intend to present that petition tonight. Link said the' Sierra Club is nol totally opposed to the proposal at this point. Instead, the group is simply saying there is not sufficient in- formation available, Link said, and it could possibly sup- port the proposal with certain conditions. In addition to approval from Garfield County, CF&I must seek approval for a special use permit for its loading facilities from Eagle County. Eagle County officials have held lit- tle discussion on the proposal to date. The CF&I request is the the Scarrow properly. The company will put -chase the properly if the permit is gran- ted, Scarrow said. To transfer the mineral from the plant lo the railroad loading site al the Colorado River near Dolsero the com- pany plans lo build a 61_ mile road through BLM land. CF&I representative Curl Miller told the county com- missioners in February that the company chose to build its own road rather Than use the the present U.S. Forest Ser- vice road because of the traf- fic problems that would occur if 35- to 50 -tun trucks were compering with recreational vehicles. The proposed road would require massive cuts and fills to negotiate the mountain terrain 10 I he quarry site. D.A. Link, chairman of the Mt.

He said the road will. be 65 feel wide and noted hal is wider than the proposed four -lane highway I hrough Glenwood Canyon. second of three items on the planning commission agenda tonight. Also to be discussed are Chelyn Acres zoning and the West Glenwood Industrial Park. The meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Garfield County Courthouse. Link said the group is also concerned that the loading facility on the river may require the relocation of Iwo families, and that the com- pany plans 10 place a conveyor across the river. He said a per - mil from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is required for such a project. The group is also concerned about possible expansion of operations if the permit is ap- proved. Link noted that there are 5,000 additional acres in the area with mineral claims filed on I hem. "The initial project may nol detract thal much from the area," he said. "but surroun- ding projects will. If the operation begins it will sound the death knell for recreation in the area." Link said a group of people, many of whom do not belong to the Sierra Club, have been meeting every Wednesday for the past Iwo months to discuss the CF&I proposal.

COX GLENWOOD SPRINGS — Bill Moulton likesthe sight of open pit mines on mountain sides. And that's one of the reasons he favors the request of a big steel company to open quarry- ing operations in the Willow Peak -Deep Creek area of northwest Gar- field County. As a matterof fact, Moulton told the coun- ty's planning commis- sion Tuesday night, one of the pictures shown, to the commission by op- ponents of the proposed pit — a slide showing a huge open scar onthe side of a Utah mountain — pleased him very much. "I thought the slide of the Utah pit was beau- tiful," Moulton said. And. he added, he also likes to look at the lime- stone quarry- pits near Monarch Pass in central Colorado, the quarries now operated by Color- ado Fuel & Iron Steel Corp. of Pueblo. Opponents, however. see the proposal as a warm-up for "total de- struction of the area's present wild recreational quality." CF&I, which is the 11th largest steel man- ufacturer in the country, uses about 600 million pounds of limestone each year in its steel- making operation. It cur- rently takes the mineral from its Monarch quar- ry. but that supply is running out. and the company will have to move to a new site in the next several years.

This quarry site, besides being located in one of the few unspoiled areas left in a quickly growing state, is the site of the larg— est and most well preserved cave in the state of Colorado. Over the years since it was discovered in 1968, The Colo— rado Grotto of the National Speleological Society has explored and mapped over 12 miles of passage, including some very beautifully decorated rooms. This cave is one of a kind in the state of Colorado and I feel that it is very important that it be preserved for the enjoyment of Coloradans who are interested in the vast variety of nat— ural beauty it contains. Colorado is a quickly growing state and as it grows, it is expanding into more and more unspoiled portions of the state. The White River Plateau and especially the Deep Creek/Coffee Pot Springs area has been a favorite recreation area for many citizens of this state in add— ition to cavers. It is important that such areas be preserved for that recreational purpose or in the very near future Colorado will find itself with few truly mountainous areas left to offer its growing population. Aren't unspoiled mountains the reason that so many people visit and live in Colorado? Please help preserve one of the natural areas remain— inin Colorado. There are not very many left. I urge you to turn down Colorado Fuel and Irons' permit to destroy one of the most beautiful mountain recreation areas in the state of Colorado.

I think the will of the people most effected by this permit has been expressed in the form of the petition against its issuance. I think it is time that you, as elected officials, pay attention to the voices of the people who elected you rather than to special interest groups whose only interest is monetary. The people who are more strongly in favor of this permit being issued live in Glenwood Springs and will not be adversely effected in any way. I wonder what their reaction would be if the proposed quarry were to be located on the hillside directly west of the Glenwood Springs city limits? We have to live with the increased traffic congestion, air pollution and generally poor quality of life that this proposed quarry will bring to our area. The people of this area, as I have previously stated, are expressing their desires. Please listen to us. Thank you.

When Mr. Miller assured us that they would do a job "comparable to the one on Vail Pass" I remembered a 2 hour slide - show and lecture I had attended in March, presented by Erik Martin, for the APES (Architects, Planners, Engineers and Surveyors). Mr Martin is the landscape architect who works for the Forest Service on Vail Pass. called him Tuesday, May 10, and asked him to repeat some of his figures: he says Vail Pass ran one and one-half to two million dollars per -mile for construction. In addition, for revegetation it cost $6800 per acre, of which $3500 went for mesh and the balance went for mulch, fertilizer, and topsoil. He also told me that Vail would be the easier of the two roads to revegetate because of exposure, slope, and soils. Using Vail (at Mr. Miller's suggestion) for comparison, revegetation on a six mile haul road would cost approximately one million dollars, for a seven mile road one million two hundred thousand dollars. Obviously I don't expect them to spend such vast sums, but it seems prudent for them to research the magnitude of their assurances to our commission before stating them at public hearings.

I am vehemently opposed to such a Quarry for many reasons. These stem from my own well being, which is dependent on my cattle and the feed that I grow to support them, as well as the ecological damage that the proposed site will have on the Willow Peak -Deep Creek Area. The prevailing wind in the Sweetwater Valley is from the West and my ranch along with the rest lie to the East of the pro- posed site. My knowledge of Limestone Quarry's is not ex- tensive, however, I do know of one, North of Fort Collins, in which all vegetation within a 4 mile radius is non-existent and local residents have sued and collected damages. My property and its value are dependent upon the Hay I grow and the stock I raise, not withstanding my own personal enjoy- ment of my Community and its surrounding area. The area around Deep Creek and Deep Creek itself are extremely unique and beautiful. The Creek itself is one of the clearest in the State. Any proposed Limestone Quarry would grossly damage the immediate site along with having a long term damaging effect on the surrounding Community. I strongly urge you to turn down any proposed development of this land in Garfield County. Sincerely, DICK ANDERSON DA/p 1972 WORLD CHAMPIONS -Jr Er** 0 Planning board requests. added quarry information By Bob Silbernagel Post staff writer CF&I will have to provide more in- formation concerning its proposed limestone quarry in the Willow Peaks - Deep Creek area of northeastern Garfield County if the county commissioners today. follow the recommendations of the plan- ning commission. The planning commissioner decided to seek more information in five specific areas Monday night during an arduous 31/2 hour meeting and hearing on the proposal. The main concern among planning com- mission members is the water the quarry operation will require for holding down dust and revegetating exposed ground. The commission asked for more in- formation on the historical amounts of water of available from Broken Rib Creek, where CF&I says its major rights are, and the amount of water the operation and revegetation procedure will require. Also req sled was information on the rights and istorical availability of water in Grizzly,reelt, to which broken Rib is a tributary. 2' In addition to water, the commission asked for more data concerning alternate methods of transporting the limestone from the quarpysite to the Colorado River, ICF&I has pro ed a 65 -foot wide, 7 -mile long haul roar or that purpose). Thee,ep+? :ion is also seeking more in- formation on the loading facilities at the river, dust control measures and more specifics on the revegetation plan. Despite a presentation by several local cave explorers who registered concern over the future of the caves in the area on- ce blasting for the quarry begins, the plan- ning commission requested no additional information from CF&I on the effects of its operation on the caves. County planner Bob Witkowski ex- plained that the only real information con- cerning the caves could not be gathered until the quarry was actually in operation. CF&I engineer Curt Miller suggested that the company would begin testing with - small blasts to determine the effects on the caves while initial construction of the quarry is under way. Several planning commission members questioned the value of the caves when they are used byso few people —generally only experienced cave explorers. Witkowski, however, noted that the caves are available for those who have the inclination, knowledge and energy to ex- plore them, and said the fact that so few people do use them does not make them less valuable. Blaine Colton, one of the cavers, invited members of the planning commission to explore the caves with him. The invitation was a response to a recent fieldtrip'by planning commission members to the Continued from Page 1 recreational purposes. "CF&1 is a big industry," she con- tinued, "but recreation is the biggest industry in Colorado." Harris also provided in- formation from steel publications indicating CF&I's high profit margins compared with other steel fir- ms. "You're not looking at a denial which would put CF&I out of business," she con- cluded. In addition to deciding whether or not the information CF&I supplied in its impact statement was sufficient, the planning commission had to determine whether or not to accept the site rehabilitation plan provided by the com- pany. Since it was one of the items for which more information was requested. the com- mission voted to approve the rehabilitation plan provided that . information is supplied quarry site with CF&I officials. Colton described that trip as "one-sided." As in all previous discussions -on the proposal, many people were concerned about the possible development of the more than 5,000 acres of mining claims in the area around the proposed quarry. Miller reiterated his claim that the steel company is interested only in the 80 -acre quarrywhichis expected to supply its limestone needs for 72 years. When questioned further, however, he could not make a legal commitment against further developmentsince, "I am not a lawyer." John Tripp, a member of the planning commission, suggested the county pass a resolution prohibiting additional limestone quarrying in the area if the CF&I proposal is approved. :But County Atty. Gerald Hartert said that such a resolution would amount to a rezoning of the area and as such would be illegal. Dorothy Harris, an Eagle County resident whose home is near the proposed dumping and loading facility on the Colorado River, said, "I feel strongly that such an operation is not necessary up there." She questioned whether the economic benefit from the quarry would be greater than if the area -was leif for strictly Please tum to Page S , and meets with the approval of the county commissioners. The .commissioners .are -to meet this morning to review the planning commission recommendations and reach their own decision as to the need for more information and acceptance of the rehabilitation plan. - If they do not require more information, county building inspector Bud Milner must make a recommendation to them within 10 days on final approval or disapproval of the proposal, and the com- missioners must hold a final public hearing within 30 days after that.
