Jim Drinkhouse ~r·\ \ \
County Commissioner 1 ,·0. L
Garfield County Colorado ) ~u ~~1
Dear Jim,
Just a quick note to voice my opposition to a limestone
quarry near the Rifle Fish Hatchery. Not because J am opposed
to the idea of industry in this area, but because of the danqer
involved on the road to and from the proposed quarry.
As a frequent traveler through the Rifle Gap State Recreation
Area, and the Rifle Mountain Park, I am acquainted with the
narrowness of the road that connects the two. I have no desire
to be driving my camper around one of the blind curves on that
road and meet a fully loaded, 18 wheel truck. I have a young son
that needs me as he grows up.
I am fully convinced that it would be of serious danger to
residents who travel the road much more than I do for the
Commisioners or the courts to allow that quarry to be put in
without substantial improvement to the only road connecting the
quarry and highway 13.

RE: Colorado Lie n Lime stone Quarry
When t his request wa s previou s ly made, th e si te raised several concer ns based
on the traffic and e quipment to be used for hauling t he lim esto ne. State
Highway 325 is a very narrow winding road whi c h ha s not been built t o adequately
provide for l arge truck move ment s.
During the s ummer months considerab l e traffic movements are generated on State
Highway 325 by tourists go ing to Rifle Gap Re se rvoir , Rifle Fal l s State Park ,
Rif l e Moun ta in Park and the State Fi s h Hat chery . During winter months the
hi ghvJ ay is heavily use d by cross co untry s kiers, s nov-1mobil e rs, and fishermen .
Increased tru ck traffic could result in rapid deterioration of the road base
and a lo ss of the touri s m that is presently occuring within this area .
The Ci ty staff wou l d st ill r ecom mend denial of thi s request until the road
restr ictions ca n be corrected.

RE: Colorado Lien Special Use Pennit
Dear Terry :
--• ·~-~~-1
l\f.11< 2 ;5 198?
April 21, 1982
Division of Wildlife personnel have reviewed Colorado Liens proposal and have
several corrment s. To begin with, it appears that information contained in the
application should be updated and new maps should be included . Our wildl ife
stat errent is outdated and a l though three years have e lapsed there has been no
attempt in the present application to address some of our past or present con-
cerns. We have the fol lowing concerns:
1 . Safety for workers and families residing at the Rifle Falls Hatchery . The
presence of a dditional large truck traffic generated by the quarry only seives
to canpound safety problems on SH 325, a road used extens ively by Division
personnel in operation of the hatc hery as well as by their f amilies on a
daily basis. Ten families (25 individuals) live at Rifle Falls Hatchery.
Noise levels of 85 db at 200 feet may be inadequa te because canyon walls
may amplify the 85 db well beyond 200 feet imposing unacceptable noise
levels on hatchery residents.
We are also concerned about the safety of our work operation with truck
traffic accessing through a major work area at the hatchery. The proposed
access r ute is within 30-50 feet of our maintenance shop. Since the enact-
ment of the game damage l aw in 1979 we now use the area in front of the shop
where the access road is proposed for the production of game damage prevention
niaterials, as vve ll as the shop itself. The operation employs 6-8 personnel
in addition to hatchery personnel. Truck traffic through this area poses a
safety threat to l::Dth hatchery personnel and game damage workers.
2. Access road -Af ter talking to County Road Supervisor, Leonard Bowlby and
Division real estate personnel , it appears that the old county road (proposed
access road ) through Division property was abandoned fo llowing construction of
the new road (SH 325) in 1954 . It is our understanding that under normal
abandonment procedures the exi s ting road reverts back to adjacent property
o\Al.t1ers. As this appears to be the case and since the property is o\Al.t1ed by the

Divis ion of Wildlife, a r ight-of-way access must be granted. before entry to
the mine can be gained.. As previously mentioned. we are concerned. atout the
safety threat posed. to our operation and personnel as a result of truck
traffic-through the area. In addition, accessing through this area poses a
security problem for the Division since the area is normally locked. off to
protect materials and equiµne.nt.
3. Water problems -Although not mentioned. JJ1 the application, a sprin g e..xists
on the east end of the quarry site. We are concerned. that the spring may be
the water source for a domestic spring located bel ow which the Division uses
and has established water rights for. This should be investigated if mining
occurs to ensure Division water rights are not injured as water is a critical
element in hatchery operations.
The water source for dust abatement need.s to be identified.
Since water chemistry is critical to our hatchery operation we are concerned
atout any possible water pollu tion from the limestone which could a lter total
h ardness or pH leve l s in the water.
4. Temporary housing -Because of access, safety and securi ty problems the
Divis ion requests that there be no tenporary ho u sing allowed on site.
5. Deer-vehicle accidents -An increase in truck traffic has the potential for
additional deer-vehi cle accidents . Reference our previous corrments of June
26, 1979. If an operation i s permitted we would request that those sti p-
ulations in addition to those addressed in this letter be included, especially
the report card system for deer kills .
The Hatchery since
our state or f eral
JJ1 the United States. 11.ich contributes si -
nificantly to both state and local ar ie County) economy. The Rifle Hatchery
prwuces 22 percent of tile catchable trout stocked in Colorado's waters and wi ~
in waters wit Garfield Count . In addition..
fingerling trout are roduced each ear at Rifle Falls for stockin in
es an streams. e value of catchable and fingerly trout produced at
approaches one half million dollars annually which in turn generates a ;
significant nUriiber of dollars to local and sfafe econ.omy.,

Re: Colorado Lien Company Limestone Quarry
Dear Mr. Stranger:
My father and I own 300 acres in Sec 15 T 4S R 92W adjoining
the BLM ground in Sec 15 on which Colorado Lien Company
propos ed to deve l op a limestone qu arry. The mo s t valuable
"!. L. ...
asset of this ground is t h e water e man ating from severa l springs
that f l ow i n to t h ree ponds. Th e water see p s t h rou g h the porou s
limestone in the bottom of the pond s, re-emerging below in
numhrous places to irrigate the grass. It then folws into the
pond below a nd t h e process is repeated.
Our concern is that if a l a rg e amount of soil and rock are
removed immediately adjoining this drainage the water may all go out
the bottom greatly depreciating the usefulness and value of this
property.
·rt this quarry is developed and this should happen, wh at recourse
would we, the adjoining landowners have for recovering any losses
that may occur?
Sincerely, ;__------

Fra n k A Trayl o r. M .D.
Exec ut ive Dir ec t or
I have reviewed th e information you gave me on Colorado Lien Company con -
cerning a lime s ton e quarry located north of Rifle . A r eview o f our files
indicates that no permit application has been received for this project .
Colorado Lien Company does have a permit to operate a limestone crusher
presently located at Livermore, Colorado. It is possible this crusher may
become part of their Rifle operation .
Until a permit is granted for t h e air po l lution emission s from t h e mining
and h a ul ·ing operations it is recommended that Garfie l d County not issue
its approval for this proj ect.

COLORADO LIEN COMPANY POSI 'TION STATEMENT
The Garfield County Citizens As sociati o n oppo se s the granting
of a special us e pe rm it to Colorado Lien for a limestone quarry.
We recomm e nd denial of this application.
We !incere l y appreciate the willingness of Colorado Lien to
respond to road safety concerns of residents,the RE 2 sc hool dis-
trict, the City of Ri f l e a nd others. Th e 12 conditions und er which
Colorado Lie n has agreed to haul the limeston e obvio usly go a long
way towards addressi ng road hazards.
As s u ggested in th e road study, vegetation co uld be c ut and
maintained, ban ks could be reduced, the road can be widened in cer-
tain port ions, the crests of hill s can eve n b e lowere d. However,
no amount of road alteration can make people's use of this road
for recreat ion a l purposes compatible with the proposed industrial
t ruck u se. Quite aside from safety considerations, trucks and camp-
ers do n ot constitute a c omp at ibl e use of a n arrow scenic mountain
road.
The presence of trucks alone co uld inhibit people from enjoy-
ing the f ull use of Rifle Falls State Park, Rifle Gap Reservoir
Area and Park and the City of Rifle Mountain Park. The Valley is
narrow, and some of the recreational facilities are sandwiched in
petween the road and the creek. There are overnight camping fac i -
iities within 1 00 ft. of the road. Similarly, th ere is estab -
lished popular fishing in close proxi mity to the ro a d.
The proposed haul route serves and passes through several
approved· residential developments a nd in many cases is their only

2.1 Current Traffic Pattern s
Existing traffic of S.H. J25 is, to a l arge extent, recreational
in nature. The highway serves Rifle Mountain P ark, Rifle Gap State
Recreation Area, and Ri fle Falls State Recreati on Area (i n cluding
hatchery). Residential and business traffic, including la rge trucks,
is also gener ated by the Rifle Falls Fish Hatchery.
Since the road is a state highway, the Colorado Department of
Highways conducts annua l traffic counts. The results o f the most
recent counts are liste d in Table 2 .1 .
TABLE 2.1
Traffic Counts for State Highway J25*
Rifle Gap State
North of S.H. lJ Recreation Area
1978 700 ADT 270 ADT
;r .. 1979 900 ADT
1980 1050 ADT 480 ADT
* Source: Colorado Department of Highways
The traffic counts ind icate a 50 percent to 77 percent increase
in traffic on S.H. J25 over a two year period.
Due.to the heavy recre ational use of the road , the daily
travel pattern for S.H. J25 differs considerably from a typical
rural highway.
According to Boyd Co rnell of the Colorado Parks and Recreation
Division and Ken Stead of the Colorado Wildlife Division, 46,000
vehicles per year use S.H. J25 for recreational purposes. Of these
trips, 81.25 percent travel the road during June , July , and Augu st .
Weeken d traffic represen ts 65.40 percent of the recreational traffic,
starting at J:OO p.m. Fridays and ending late Sunday afternoons.1
2.2 Yea~ 2005 Traffic Projections
To adequately exam ine the effect of traffic from the proposed
quarry, future traffic on S.H . J25 must be exa mined . Future traffic

• •
can be divi de d into two types: site generated traffic and backgroun d
traffic .
The background traffic consists of all the traffic using S.H. J25
r ega rdless of the proposed quarry operation. There are two commonly
used methods of traffic projections for background traffic. The
first method uses histor ical traffic data to project future traffic
demands.· This method assumes the land uses in the area will not
change dramatically bu t that area -wide population and growth trends
will affect the travel deman d.
The second method of travel demand is based on land uses within
the study area. This method is valuable in projecting traff ic for
s p e cific areas of developmen t but does not consider community -wide
chan g es.
Due to the long -term commitment of recreational areas along
S.H. J25, and the overall growth in populatio n projected for. the
Ri f le area, the first metho d of traffic projections wa s chosen for
this study (traffic project ions based on historical data). CDH
traffic counts for S.H. J25 north of S.H. lJ were us ed as historical
data and extrapolated to the year 2005. Figure 2.1 s hows the
procedure graphically. Us ing this method of straight li~e projection,
a J95 percent increase in traffic is expected on S.H. J25. The
p roj e cted traffic is shown in Table 2.2.
TABLE 2.2
Year 2005 Traff ic Projections for S.H. J25
Rifle Gap State
North of S.H. lJ Recreatio n Area
Ye a r 2005 5200 ADT 1900 ADT
These traffic proje ctions are for average daily traffic (ADT).
Since quarry trucks wil l only be used on we ek -days and the recrea-
tional traffic is predominantly weekend traffic , an adjustment has
been made to develop average week -day traffic (AWDT). According to
the vehicle counts provide d by the Colorado Parks and Recreation
Division approximately J7 percent of the traffic on S.H. J25 is
recreational in purpose. Of these recreation trips , 81.25 percent
will occur on weekends. Assuming these factors will not change for
background traffic, an average weekday traffic projection can be
derived ~nd is shown in Table 2.J.

The capacity o f a roadway is defined as the max i mum numbe r o f
vehicles which have a re a sonable e xpectation of p a s sin g over a g i ven
section of roadway. S ince most roadways are not u s e d t o t h eir
maximum capacity, a me thod of judging the flo w of traffic has b een
established by the High way Research Board kno wn as "Le v e l of S erv ice ".
Five categorie s have be en defined for Level of Service ; A thr o ugh E.
Level o f Service A rep resents free flowing conditions with no
traffic interferenc e . Heavily congested, stop a n d go t r a ffic is
represented by Lev e l o f Service E. The Colorado De p a r tm ent of
Highways , and most loc al g o vernments, design new r u ral r o adway s to
operat e at Level o f S ervice C, while existing r u ral roadwa y s are
allowed to operate a t Le vel of Service D or wors e b ef or e i mprove-
ments are considered.

A number of factors cun affect the capacity of a roadway. Thes e
factors include:
operating speed
available pass ing sight distance
lane width
shoulder width
percent grade
length of e_-rad e
percent truck traffic
On urban streets, or relatively flat high ways, the operating
speed of vehicles is an important factor in determining the level of
service of the roadway. On mountainous highway s , operating speeds
are limited by physica l constraints, rather than traffic congestion;
and, thus, operating speed is invalid to use as a factor. For this
study, available passing sight distanc e rather than operating speed
was used as a criteria for the level of service of S.H. J25 .
A level of service ana lysi s was conduc ted for S.H. J25 using
the two lane rural highway method described in Highway Capacity Manu al
.12.2...2 1 Highway Research Boa rd , Special Report 87. To assure that a
worse case situation was considered,. the analysis was conducted f or
two sections: S.H. lJ to Rifl e Gap Park, and Rifle Gap Park to th e
Quarry Entrance. Tabl e J.l lists the assumptions and factors us e d
in the analysis.
The analysis was conduct ed for Year 2005, p eak hour traffi c
for Level of Service C. The calculations are sho wn in Table J.2.
By comparing the servic e volume s for Level of Service C wi th
the year 2005 traffic projections, the l evel of service of S.H. J25
can be determined. This comparision is shown in Table J.J.

As can b e seen from Table J.J, the addition of a quarry operation
on S.H. J25 will affect the capacity of the roadway, but S.H. J25
will continu e to operate at greuter than Level of Service C for the
year 2005 with the quarry operation.
4.0 Acciden t/Safety Analysi s
The portion of State Highway J25 wh ich has been proposed as a
haul route for the Colorado Lien Quarry is a rural highway with a
narrow cross-section, steep grade s and winding alignment. Safety
concerns have bee n expressed by both public and private interested
parties. The purpose of this chapter is to consider the safety
implications of using S.H. J25 as a haul route .
Colorado Department of Highways accident records for 1981 indicate
six (6) accidents occurred on S.H. J25 between the jun c tion with S.H.
lJ and th e Fish Hatchery. The types of accidents which occurred
that year are shown in Table 4.1. The 1981 accident rate for
S.H. J25 wa s 2.46 accident s per million vehicle miles of . travel.
These accident rates are highe r than the average accident rates for
rural movntainous highways in Colorado. This is probably due to the
cross-section of S.H. J25, which is narrow with sharp curves in a
number of locations.

Accident Rates
The prediction of future a c cident rates is of ten an unre liable
art . Du~ to the low volume of traffic on S.H. J25 and the low number
of quarry trucks proposed to use the road, it would not be practical
to predict future accident rates. Rather than use a crystal ball
-6-
• • •
for accident rate proje ctions, this report recommends that potentially
hazardous locations be identified and remedied before any quarry
haul begins.
A field inspection of the haul route was conducted to identify
potential safety problems. Three types of safety problems wer e
identifie.d:
poor h orizontal or vertical sight distance
poor sight distance at driveways and access points
narrow lane widths
All of these problems are related to the cross -section of
S.H. J25. Most of the sight distance problems, either for through
traffic or at access point s , are caused by poor horizontal alignment
(blind curves). The remainde r of the horizontal sight distance
problems are caused by vegeta tion which has grown too high along the
side of the road. The third problem identified during the field
inspection, narrow lane widths, are directly related to the blind
curves. Most of the blind curves involve an earth or rock bank to
one side and a drop off to the other. Due to the restrictions of
the terrain in these area s , the lane widths are often too narrow to
accommod~te a large truck without using both travel lanes.
This report recommend s three types of i mprovements to S.H. J25
as a result of the safety problems that were identified:
reduce the bank and widen the pavement at blind curves,
cut vegetation wh ich is causing restricted sight distance,
and
sign for "hidden driveways" at access points with restricted
~ sight distance.
Exceptions to these so lutions as well as the location of the
problem areas to be remedied are des~ribed in the remainder of thi s
chapter.
The most common solut ion to the restricted sight distance along
S.H. J25 is to reduce the bank and widen the roadway at b l ind cu r ves.
Figure 4.1 indicates the location of these blind curves as well as
a recommendation of the ho rizontal distance each bank should be
reduced. It may not be practical to provide this solution at the
blind curve 1.2 miles north of the junction with S.H. lJ. This curve
is bounded on one side by a rock face and t he other by a 20 foot
drop -off. This report recommends that the speed limit be reduced and
traffic monitored at this section for a period of time. If problems
exist, the possibility of wid enin g the ro adway at this curve should
then be investigated.

Veee~ation along the s ides of the road way can also obstruct t h e
sisht distanc e. Fit;--ure 4.2 indicates locations whe re the v egetation
should be cut often to prevent potential sight probl ems.
The fina l safety p r oblem which was identified by the field
inspection wa s hidden driveway s , which cause poor sight distance
for both the access dr ive way and S.H. J25. Because of the low
traf:fi c volume on the roadway, signing the necessary a ccess points as
"hidden driveways" shou ld suffice. The location of these driveways
is shown in Figure 4.J. Several of the acc ess points requ ire some
additional wo rk. The Rifle Golf Course has two driveways on either
side of the crest of a hill causing very poor sight distance for both
driveways. To improve this situation, the crest of the hill should
be lowered several feet. As an alternative to lowering the crest of
the hill, the driveways cou ld be relocated to a point with adequa te
sight distance. The other access point which may require additional
work is the ea st side of S.H. J25 approximately nine (9) miles no rth
of the junction with S.H. lJ .. The existing driveway grade is lower
than the highway and intersects at a skew. A new location for the
driveway should be investigate d. If this is not pract icable , the
vegetation at the access point should be kept well tri mmed and
S.H. J25 should be signed for a hidden drive way with a corresponding
speed reduction.
In addit i on to the immediate improvements f or S.H. 325, the
following maintenan ce procedures should be followed to max imize the
safety aspect of this ro a dway:
keep vegetation along the highway cut back,
plow and san d the roadway during the winter months, and
repair deteriorated roadway as it occurs .
It ~as been stated by Colorado Department of Highways personnel
that they are expecting S.H. J25 to "break-up " with the addition of
heavy truck traff ic . The scope of this study did not i n clude a
structural analys is of the pavement; however, it is common for pave-
ment to deter iorate und er continuous ·loading from large trucks. If
the surface of S.H. 32 5 is allowed to "break -up ", it will adversely
affect both the sa fety and capacity of the roadway. For this reason,
it is important to repair potholes and broken pavement a s soon as
possible.
The completion of the immediate improvements and continuing
ma i ntenan ce of the roadway will provide a safer highway for the
users as well as increasing the capacity of the roadway.

i·O Vehicle Suitabil ity
It is the intention of the Colorado Lien Company to haul crushe d
limestone from their quarry site to S.H . 13 along S.H . J25. This
will require the use of large trucks on a roadway wh ich ha s numerous
curves and narrow lane widths. Even with th e sa fety improvements
recommenOed in th e previ ou s chapte r, n ot all types of truc ks would
be suitable for use on S.H. J25. In their application for a condi -
tiona l use permit, Colorado Lien Company has provided the following
restrictions for vehic le type and use:
1. App licant will coor dinate with the R i fle school boards
to ensur e that truck traffic will not oppose schoo l
bus traffic;
2. Truck l eng th will be limit ed to 38 feet :
J. All safety requireme~ts required by the State Depart -
men t of Highways will be i mplemented, i nc luding:
a. Log book s on drivers;
b. Regular phys ical inspection of al l vehicles;
• c. Limitat ion o f driving hou rs to reduce accidents
caused by driver fatigue :
4. Tacographs will b e installed in all vehicles to monito r
vehicle speed and engine r.p.m. to provide add i tional
checks on veh icle safety and sp eed on highway;
5. Semi-annual report s will be made to Garfield County,
including:
a. Number of c itations issu e d to i nd ividua l d ri ve rs ,
if any;
b. Number of mot or vehicle accidents involving
Colorado Lien drivers , _if any ;
c. Numbe r of deer killed, if any ;
d. Number of loads hauled per week ;
e. Number of work ers employed ;
f. Monthly quarry output ;
g. Any other relevant informati on requested by the
County;
6. Drivers wil l be paid on a per hour salary rather than on
a per load hauled basis in order to reduce incentive
for high spe ed.
-9 -
• •
In addition to the restrictions of the application, the hau l
trucks will have to meet we ight r estr ictions . The most seve re
weight restriction along th e haul route occurs at the spillway
bridge. The br i dge is rated for a 20 TON load and is 28 feet i n
length. Because of this, the ma ximu m weight of a truck with less
than 28 feet axle to axle is 20 TONS. If a truck is used wh ich has
an axle -to -axle d istan ce greater than 28 fe et the max i mum allo wa ble
weight wo.uld be 40 TON S . To accommodate a full load o f mat erial
while meeting all weigh t restrictions, a tract or/trailer combinat i on
with an over -cab configuration is recommended . One alternat ive to
this would be the use of a box truck wi th a pu ll trailer. Wh il e
this configuration is much longer than a tractor/trailer, the pull
trailer has a closer turning track than a semi -trailer, making it
easier to manuever on mounta in ou s roadways.
In consideration of t he road wa y improvements recommended in
this report, an increased truc k length up to appr oxima tely 44 feet
overall length may be acceptab le . This incr eased length would allow
gre a ter flexibility on the part of Colorado Lien Company in achievin g
a suitable axel -to -axe l dis tance to clear the restricted structure .
The maximum length of veh icle should be determined i n a vehicle test
drive. The max i mum siz e truck should be dr iven i n the prope r lane
in both direct i ons with out crossing the road way center line .
6.0 Conclusion
As a resu lt of the ana lysis conducted for this study, a number
of recommendations are mad e here regarding the use of S.H. 325 as a
haul road. The recommendati ons have been divided into three sections
corresponding to Chapters 3, 4, and 5 of this report.
Recommen dations for Capacity
While the addition of 32 haul trucks per day to S.H . J25 wi ll
lower the capacity of the roadway, the capacity analysis indicates
that for year 2005 traffic, including the quarry traffic , the
roadway will funct ion above Level of Service C. The h a ul operation
Colorado Lien Company has proposed in their application will not
present a capacity problem to S.H. 325 .
Recomm endations for Safety
The rural mountainou s nature of S.H . 325 results in a numbe r
of safety problems wh ic h are not compatible wi th increased t ruck
traffic. Before additiona l trucks are permitt ed to use S.H . 325
as a haul route, the follow ing improv em ents should be made:
-10 -
.
• • •
reduce the side banks and widen the pavement at
blind curves,
cut the vegetation along the side of the roadway, and
sign for "hidden dr ive way" at acc ess points with
restricted sight distance .
Chapter 4 discusse s these improvements in more deta il. The
following cont inuous maint enance should also be provided:
sand and plow roadway during winter months,
keep vegetation well trimmed along the sides of the road,
and
repair "pot -holes" and pave men t "break-ups" as soon as
they occur.
The immediate improvement s and continuing ma inte nanc e should
help to offset the incre ased safety problems associated with
increased truck u se .
Recommendat i ons for Vehicle S ui ta bility
The mountainous character of S.H . J25 and low weight r estrict ion
of the spillway bridge requ ire special cons ideration in choosing
the type of hau l truck to us e . A tract o r /trailer with an overcab
would be a suitable truc k con figuratio n becaus e it provides a reason -
ably short overall length wh ile providing a long enough wheel base
to accommodate the weigh t r e striction of the bridge. An acceptable
alt e rnative would be a box truck with a pull trailer.
The vehicle restric tion listed in the application provides
for a nu~ber of safety checks and these restrictions should be
upheld.

Hatchery off State Highway 325.
The affected area is a 40 acre
tract of land owned by BLM. The
actual mine site and processing
area would encompass approximately
26 acres.
The applicant would haul by way of a
access road onto State Highway 325,
then to State Highway 13, and then
proceed to the respective destinations
either by way of State Highway 13 north,
or possibly through Rifle to I -7 0.

The applicant propos es to develop an open pit mine to extract high calcium limestone
and to crush and stockpile this product on a 26 acre parcel of BLM land. As
mentioned above, the product would be transported by State Highway 325 from the
sjte . The year -round emp loyee count is expected to be eight miners. Five to
six of these employees would be seasonaill employees, living in temporary quarters.
The t~ema ining emp loyees would be permanent, and they are expected to live either
in Rifle o f Gl enwood Springs.
Colorado Lien's transport operations would be conducted 52 weeks per year, five
d ays per week at an average of 384 tons per day. This would require approximately
16 rou nd trips per day or 32 vehicle trips per day. Colorado Lien has proposed
certain prov isions and guidelines by which they would transport their product.
The applicant has indicated that the hauling will take place as follows:
1. The applicant will coordinat e with the Rifle school boar'ds to ensure that
tru ck traffi c will not opp ose school bus traffic;
2. Truck length will be limited to 38 feet;
3. All sa~ety requirements required by the State Department of Transportation
will be implemented, including:
a . Log books on drivers ;
b. Reg ular physical i ns p ection of all vehicles;
c. Limitation of driving hours to reduce accidents caused by fatigue.
4. Tacographs will be installed in all vehicles to monitor vehicle speed and
en gine r.p.m. to provide additional checks on vehicle safety and speed
on highway;
5. Semi -annual reports will be made to Garfield County, including:
a. Number of citat i ons issued to individual drivers, if any;
b. Number of motor vehicle accidents involving Colorado Lien drivers, if any;
c. Number of d e er killed, if any;
d . Number of loads hauled pe r week;
e . Number o f workers employed;
f . Monthly quarry output;
g . Any other relevant informat ion requested by the County.
6 . Dri vers will be paid on a per hour salary rather than a per load hauled
basis in order to reduce incentive for high speed;
7. Tru ck traffic will be limited to the hours between 7:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M.
during summer months and daylight hours in the winter . No loads will be
hauled after 3:00 P.M. Friday, on weekends, or on state or National Holidays.

FRI:VIOUS HISTORY OF TH I S RE QUEST
This application was fir s t r eviewed by the Garfield County Planning Commi s sion in
August of 1980 . Th e P lanning Commission recommended approval with conditions
(see copy of August 1 9 80 minutes, pages 15 ,1S. On September 22, 1980, the Garfield
County Board of Commiss ioners held a pub lic hearing on this request. This hearing
was continue~ u nt il Oc t o b er 6, 1980, at which time the Board accepted further testimony .
The hearing was t hen clos ed , and a decis ion was schedu le d for October 20, 1980. On
that date , the Ga r fie l d County Commi ssioners denied the application by Colorado Lien
Company , due to the ina de q uacy of the road systems providing access for the mine
site , and due to the impact o f this use and the resultant traff ic o n t h e recrea tional
facilities in the a r ea .
Subsequent to this de c is ion b y the Board, Colorado Lien filed suit against the county.
liow~ver , when i t was d i s covered that Colorado Li en had applied for the wrong type
of permit, (Special Use vs. Conditi onal Use), the lawsuit was withdrawn.
The county , fn th e meantim e , had amended the zoning regulations to allow for a
determination of certain uses on pub lic lands to be either special or conditional
uses , dependi ng o n the issue of Federal or State preemptive regulations in regard
to the specific p ro p osals.
On April 5 , 198 2, t h e Coun ty Commissioners heard legal arguments from the County
Attorney and co un s el f or Co lorado Lien in regard to the question of federal preemption
and whether t h is pro posal constitute s a special use or a conditional use. On that
date , the County Co mm issioners mad e the decision that the Colorado Lien proposal
was a spe c ial u se , a nd the project was referred to the Planning Commission.
Since that time, the a pp licant and the county have joint ly employed a traffic
consultant to r e vi ew t h e access route proposed by the applicant. Mr. Ma tt Delich,
the consu l tant, wi ll p resent his findi ngs to the Planning Commission a t the August
1 1, 1 982 mee~ing. A co p y of his study is also enclosed.
ST.A.ff COMMENTS:
1. Colorado Lien p ro p ose s to use Stat e Highi~ay 325 as its immediate access to the
mining area. The r o ad p r esently cannot safely accommodat e the type of heavy traffic
p:r'oposed by the app l i c a nt. This road is recognized by the Colorado State Highway
Department as being n a r row and having numerous curves. The Department also acknowledges
that the roacf a n d structural b ase is not suff icient to carry the types of heavy
traffic p r ojected for t he mining operat ions . Improvements to this road are not
included in the Depa:r 'tm e nt' s present five -year construc tion plan.
2 . Colorado Lien propose s to limit its haul truck size to 38 feet in length. These
tvucks would carry a n a verag e load of 76 ,00 0 pounds. Due to the existing winding
conditions of St a te Hi g hway 325, and the narrow width of the road base, 1i:his typ e
of heavy industr i al t raf fi c would have a maj or impact on the safety of the recreat i ona l
and residential u sers of th e h ighway.
3 . In the traffic s tudy it was noted tha t Stat e Highway 325 had capacity to handle
the inc r e ased v olume o f traf fic as gener ate d by Colorado Lien. The consultant also
disc ussed s a fe t y i mprovemen t s and vehicle s pe ci fications that need to be addressed
before State Hi ghway 3 25 experiences increased taffic volumes.
However , on e is su e needs to be further stress e d; that is, the structural (road base)
capacity of State High wa y 325. As indi cated, the State Highway Department is of
the opinion that th e increased heavy h aulage precipitated by Colorado Li en 's proposal
Page 5
• • w~ll cause fur ~her deterioration to the road base. It is the responsibility of t he
llighway Departmen t to maintain the roads as needed . Yet the State has indicated
that they do not have additiona l monies budgeted for improvements to the road;
and they have asked the county to "bear with them" in the time re q uired f o r needed
road maintenance.
Because of the condition of State Highway 325, regardless of the many im prove-
1nents suggested by the traffic consultant, the actual structural condition of the road
Lase is of utmost importance . Lack of swift and adequat e maintenanc e o f any road
])ase deteriora~ion decreases the safety of the road, and therefore, r aises ton cerns
regarding the t ypes o f traffic which would likely precip itat e this deterioration.
4. The environmental report supplement for the Union Shale Oil Upgrading plant and
truck loading facility noted that "Highway 1 3 from Rifle to the county l ine is alr eady
over capacity and additional truck traff ic will add to present over capacity.'' Although
11ot part of the e xis ting 5 -year Cap i t al Imp rov ement Program of the Co l orado Department
oJ !Ijchways, the reconstruction of Highway 13 and addition of hill clim bing lanes
to the road were suggested by the Colorado West Ar e a Cou n cil of Go vernments as a
111PdDS o -improving the road fo r proje cted traffic increases by the year 2000.
,) . Re cent traff ic counts are showin g an increase in usage of State Highw ay 325 over
1.revious years. The 1980 annual average daily county fo r Stat e Highway 325
just north of its intersection with Sta t e Highway 13, showed 1050 vehi cles per day.
TLe previous year indicated 900 vehicle s per day. Increasing area populations
wiJ l Jurthcr stimulate an increase in this traff i c.
]'0u1 ism and recr'eation play major roles in the economy of Garfield County. In
t lit-ctl'c:d of the mine site and along the applicant's proposed access ro ute, there is
con~:;iderahJe public investment in numerous t o uris t and recreational facilities·
Ti1usc public facilities could e x peri ence substant d.•al adverse impacts as a result of mining
'·• t'.1\ io11~; in ~;uch close proxim ity.
The Rifle Fal ls State Park and Rifle Gap Reservoir Area had a visitor count of
148,026 in 1981. The Rifle Gap State Park had a vi sitor count of 166,103 from
,July 1979 to June 1980. The City of Rifle Mo untain Park, north of the mine site,
also has subst'antial usage.
Tl1e Division of Wildlife has operat ed th e Rifle Fa lls Fish Hatchery since 1954.
Tl1e Hatchery had an estimated count of over 3 0,000 visitor s in 1981. The operators
jndjcated that slightly less than half o f these visitors are from out of state.
To the best knowledge of the Wildlife Division, the Rifle Hatchery h as the largest
trout production of any state or fe deral hatch ery in the Uni t ed States. It re pres e nts
d 1nulti -million dollar operation that contri bu tes to both t he state and local econ omi es .
The value of catchable and fi ngerling trout produced at the ha tchery approaches
one half mjllion dollars annually, g enerating a si gnificant num ber o f do llars for t he
r(-::1~1'eat ion industry.
J. The character of the land uses adjoining St a t e Highway 325 can be characterized by
two distinct p-atterns. The land uses surrounding St ate Highway 325 from the Rif le Gap
Reservoir to the Rifl e Falls F ish Hat chery is gener ally recreational in nature, with a
fe w residentia l units interspersed. The character o f the southerly port ion o f State
Jlighway 325 has, in fa ct, been changing in recent y ears. Several residential developments
have been approved (Rifle Creek E states) or are now in the review process (Rifle Creek
Ra nch, Cedar Hills PUD) in this area.
8 . The Garfield County Comprehensive Plan encourage s industri al expansion where
similar development already e xists in a p propriate areas. The Plan also encourages
industria l development in areas where adequate tran s port ation facilit ie s are
a vailable . Further , the Comprehensive Plan allows for the c9unty to deny a project
based on inadequate road acce s s which would lead t o f urther deterioration o f the road
and /or large daily traffic volume s .
The Ccir.~prehensi v e Plan addresse s a t length, the issue of compatibility o f propos ed
and e x isting uses. Sp ec ifically, it spe aks to a proposal's ''adverse impacts on the
desirability of the surrounding community," "alteration of the basic charac ter of
adja cent land uses" and "impairment of t he stability o r value of adja cent or
surrounding propertie s."
REVIEW AGI:NCY COMMENTS:
1 . State Highway Department indi c a ted that the J une 27 and July 30 comments still
apply: The road can handle increased traffic volume, b ut that State Highway 325 is
not structurally capable of ha ndling the heavier truck traff ic ; and some deterioration
j s to be e x pected (see pages 1 7 f, 18 ) .

IN THE MATTER OF ENVIRONMENTA L
NOISE IMPA CT OF PROPOSED RIFLE
LIMESTONE QUARRY, PROPOSAL
SUBMIT TED BY LI EN MINING CO.
AFFIDAVIT OF HOW ARD N. McGREGOR
S TATE OF COLORADO
SS.
COUNTY OF ARAPAHOE
•
I , Howard N. McGregor, being f irst du ly swor n, state:
GENERAL
1. I am currently President and Director of Engineering
Dynamics, In c., Englewood, Colorado. I am an aco ustical engineer
a nd a re gis tered professional engineer in Colorado. (No. 3928).
A summary of my q u alifica ti ons a nd experience is a tt ached to this
Affidavit.
2. I served as principal investigator for the noise impact
a na lysis, contracted by Lien Mi ning Co. to Engineering Dy namic s,
Inc. (EDI) for the proposed Rifle Limestone Quarry. I am res-
ponsible for either having performed or supervised the field
investigations and analyses from which the conclusions specified
in this affidavit were derived.
3. I was present at the proposed q u arry site an d I hav e
performed a theoretical analysis to determine the magnitud e of
noise at the Rifle Fa lls Fis h Hatchery, resultin g from the pro -
posed quarry operation. Projected sound levels resulting from
• • • haul truck t raffic were a l so addre sse d . Th e fo llowing comments
are the r es ul t of my observation a nd analysis.
NOISE IM PACT ANALYSIS
4. A theoretical noise impact analysis was performed to
determine the magnitude of sound at the Rifle Falls Fish Hatchery
resulting from the proposed Rifle Limestone Quarry. The effects
of barriers existing between the noise source (quarry) and receiver
(fish hatchery ), which result from the existing topography, were
considered in the ana lysi s. In addition, the increase in sound
levels resulti n g from the reflection of sound waves on the canyon
walls arid focusing ef fec ts at t h e receiver location were al so
i n corporate d into the analy sis .
5 . Sound l evel measur e ment s were performed at the fish
h atche ry to determi n e th e range of sound lev els which exist durin g
typical operatio n s of th e f i s h hatchery. The impac t of noise from
the quarry may then be evaluated in relation to existing sound
levels at the site. The meas ur ed so un d levels a t the hatchery
ranged from 46 to 56 dB(A).
6. Based on the existing topography at the site, there are
locations at the site where the front-end loaders will be visible
from the fish hatchery. When the loaders are operating at these
locations, the magnitude of quarry noise at the fish hatchery is
the greatest, in the range of 50 dB(A ). Figure 6.1 shows the
locations at the site which are not shielded from the fish hatchery
by barriers, and the resultant sound levels which are predicted
to occur at the f i sh hatchery.
7. At the present time, it is projected that medium size
Predicted Sound Level at Fi s h H a t c h e ry Wh e n Front -End Loaders Are Vi s ibl e

• • (2 4 ton ) haul tru cks will carry th e limestone fro m th e q uarry t o
market. The estimated numl>er of round trips initial l y from the
quarry is 4 per day (8 drivebys ). Depend in 8 on market dema n ds ,
the round trips could increase to 16 per day (32 drivebys ). The
State of Colorado Noise Ordinance in Title 25, Article 12, Section
107, states the maximum sound pressure level for motor vehicles
with a manufacturer 's gross vehicle weight rating of six thousand
pounds or more shall not be g reater than 86 dB(A ) at 50 feet for
a speed limit of 35 mph or less. Th e haul trucks us ed at the
proposed Rifle Limestone Quarry will be in conformance with the
State of Colorado Noise Law.
NOISE CONTROL MEASURES
8. When th e topograp hy pro v ides i nt er v eni n g barriers between
the noise so urces a nd receiver, th e magnitude of q u arry n oise at
the fis h hatchery will be less than 50 dB (A ). The actual attenua-
tion (noise reduction) provided by the topographica l barriers is
dependent on the relative location of the noise sources and receiver
with respect to the barrier. The magnitude of attenuatio n provi-
ded by b arriers which shield the fish hatchery from the quarry
can be increase d if the easte rn bound ary of the mine site is Ler'med
to a minimum elevation of 7100 feet. This is accomplished by
'
building a 100 foot long berm, approximately 20 feet high, at the
lowest elevation along the eastern boundary.
If this berm is implemented as specified, the barrier
attenuation of quarry noise will range from 6 to 14 dB (A ), de-
pending on the l ocation of the front-end loaders. Thu s , when
noise reductio n i s provided by topographic barriers at the site,
• •
t1 1e max imu m magn it ude of qua r ry noise a t the fi sh hatc h e ry will b e
36 to 44 dB (A ). Ex i s t i n g t op o g r a phi c barrie r s shie ld the qu arry
such t h at t h e s it e is n ot vis ib le from the so u th se cti o n o f the
fish hatc h ery. These barriers are o u tside the bo un daries of the
proposed mine plan and will remai n u nchanged through o ut t h e life
of the mine, The existing topography provides approximately 16
dB of noise reduction. Therefore, the maxim m sound levels in the
south section of the fish hatchery, resulting from quarry noise ,
will not exceed 35 dB (A ). Th u s, quarry noise at the south section
of the fish hatchery will be in audible or barely perceptib l e
throughout the life of the mine. Figure 8.1 s how s the shielded
areas a t t h e si t e and t h e re sult a nt r a n ge o f ma x im u m s ound l evels
at the f i sh h atc h ery .
9 . Th e h a u l t r u cks u se d a t th e Rifl e Lim es t one Qu arry w il l
be certified by fie l d tes t s , as n ecessary , to a ss u r e th at th e
trucks conform to the Sta t e Noi se Law Cr i teria.
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
10. The noise level at the fish hatc h ery resulting from
quarry noise is dependent upon the location of the front-end
loauers. When the front-end loaders are visible from the fish
l1atchery, maximum noise levels will be in the range of SO dB (A ).
When the loaders are blocked from view by berms or existing topo-
graphic barriers, t he maximum sound level~ at the fis h hatchery
from quarry noise will be 36 to 4 4 dB (A ). In the so uth section
of the f i sh ha t chery where t h e quarry is n o t v is i ble , maxi mum
so un d l e ve l s fr o m q u a rry no i se wi l l n ot ex c e e d 35 dB (A ).

Th e ma x i mum l eve l of q u arr y noi se (50 dB (A )) is wi t h in the ran ge

tions are no t in view from the f ish h atchery, qua r ry n oise wil l
be either ina u dible or barely perceptible because the existi n g
ambient noise level will excee d quarry noise by 10 dB (A ).
12. The eastern boundary of the quarry site sho u ld be bermed

14. I n s u mmary, it is my p r ofessio n al opinion that t h e quar-

the quarry noise is less than,or within the range of, exis t ing
sound levels at the fish hatchery.

Special Us e P er mi t
Colorado L i e n Com pa ny
April 5 , 19 82 h ear in g
I received a noti ce o f a public heari n g o n t h e ap p li cation
of the Colorado L i en Co mp any for a special use per mit to e x t r act
and mine limeston e on pr o p erties bordering or n ea r p r ope r ties wh ic h
I own. I own the prope rt i es described i n "Ex hib it A" attache d
hereto. You can readi l y see closeness of the propo se d o p eration
to the approximat e ly 2 60 0 acres.
I object to th e issuance of the permit a n d e xp ress my v iews
for su c h obje ct ion as s u ggested in the notice a s follo ws :
i. I own si zea bl e properties next to or clos~ to t h e property
described in t he appl ication and such an operation w i l l substan-
tially affect my pr o p erty an d will devalue my pro per t y g r eat ly
as to pre s ent and fu t ur e v alues.
2. My proper t y, as we ll as other property i n t he ar ea , ha s
na t ural vegetation, is a n atural habitat fo r game and wild life ,
and is naturally beaut i ful. Game, wildlife and n a t ur a l b eaut y
are abundant. The p r opose d operation will i n terfe r e wi t h a nd da m-
age the same. No doubt it w ill upset, damage a nd dest r o y ecolog i cal
and environmen t a l qu a li t i es off my properties as wel l as ot h er
property in the area. Ge n erally, the proposed o p eration w i ll ad -
versely affect the en t ire a r ea and thereby h a rm a nd destr o y . T h ese
things cannot be r e plac e d o r reinstated .
3 . Such an opera t i o n certainly w ill pollute a n d damag e t he
air and ground quality o f t he area i n cluding that of my property.
This will in turn hav e a n adverse effect on the pr ese n t ac ti v i-
ties conducted in the ar e a and on my property .
4. The traffic cr eated by such an operation n o doubt w i ll
have a very adver s e ef fe c t on the surrounding pro p ert i es . I t will
destroy, damage or alien ate much of the charact e r o f t h e area . No
doubt, it will de s troy muc h of the value of a $1 00,00 0.00 lodge
and activity on my prop e r ties.
5. The cont e mplat ed operation probably w ill a ffect t h e a mount
and quality of wat e r a v ail a ble to the area.
6. An ex a min a tion of the area north of Ft . Coll in s , Colo r a do
where the applicant op e r ates a similar facility w ill s ub s t a n tiate
my objections, ass e rtion s a nd conclusions eve n t h oug h t h a t area
is not ble s sed with t h e k ind of environment, beau ty, terrai n a n d
conditions that exist in t h e requested permit are a in Garfield
County.
7. You are urged to g i v e full and due consi dera ti on a s t o
what will happen to the na tural beauty , the w i ldl i f e and t h e l i fe
style of this area if th e ap plication is gra n te d fo r thi s acti v ity.
8. I respectfully re qu est that t h is objecti on b e c on si d ere d,
be made a part of the recor d an d that t h e spe c ial u s e pe r mit b e
denied the applican t .
This matter was c on si d ered i n September , 198 0 by you a n d I
am informed a similar appl ication was denied.

ADDKL~DUM
To further my objection to the issuance of the special use
permit, which, in effect, is a rezoning or a change in the
zoning, I wish to state the following:
1. When I purchased the described property and improved the
same I relied on the existing zoning regulations then in effect
for the neighborhood or territory. Since that time there has been
no material change in the character of the territory or community
that requir(ja a change in use or rezoning to serve an urgent
public need or for the public good. It is only when cnanging
conditions exist and the public good will be served ~hat changes
should be made. I believe that when I purchased my .property I had
a right to rely upon the rule of law that the classification then
in effect will not be changed unless the change will be required
for the public good.
2. As I recall this same matter was before the Board in
S ptember of lio and in April of 1982. I was advis~d that at A
both times the applications were tarned down. Most counties
operate under a rule th a t after an appLication for rezoning or
special use is ~enied the Board will nahear another application
for the same until at least one year has passed .
J. It seems unreasonable that a landowner ahoJld have to
go the tne time, effort and expense to repeatedly defend hia
objection to a rezoning or special use permit.
4. As a taxpayer I wish to point out that I think the
proposed operation will certainly have an adverse effect

Dear Mr . Rhodes :

RE : State Highway 325
We are writing this l etter to a dvise you of the understanding reached by
Colorado Lien Company and the Colorado Deparbnent of Highways regarding the coop-
erati ve effort of the two entities to accomplish the improvements to State Highwa y
325 referenced in paragraph 8 (c ) of Resolution No. 38-16 6 of the Board of County
Cornnissioners of Garfield County.
,·._(
Colorado Lien Company has agreed to provide the necessary men and equiprnent
to drill and shoot three rocky rx:>int s along Highway 325 for the purrx:>s e of improving
alignment and sight distance. The three rx:>ints will be identified by Highway Depart-
ment personnel . Counsel for Colorado Lien Company will assist in determining the
status of the highway right-of-way at the three specified locations. At this time,
however , the Highway Deparbnent has no f unds a vailable for purchase of right-of-way
so if it is determined the additiona l right-of-way will be necessary to accompl i s h
the rerroval of the three rocky rx:>int s , the \\Drk will have to be rx:>stponed until funds
become available and the right-of-way can be acquired .
Colorado Lien has also agreed to provide the necessary rranpower to reduce
vegetation along Highway 325 urx:>n the Highway Deparbnent 's designation of the location
it wants such vegetative reduction . Again, this \\D r k may be r estricted to a degree
by highway right-of-way limitation but we anticipate that some vegetation can and will
be reduced without acquisition of additional right-of-way.
The Colorado Deparbnent of Highways doe s not desire any participation by
Colorado Lien Company in mak ing improvements to State Highway 325 beyond that stated
in this letter . Any additional improvements to Hi ghway 325 shall be the responsibility
of the Highway Department and will be made as funds become available and such improve-
ments become necessary.

May 6, 1983
It has come to our attention that COLORADO LEIN is once again
ready to proceed with~~gotiations to reepen the quarry on State
i-fi tT hway 325 across from'" th e Rifle Falls Fish Hatchery.
It was also pointed out t o u s that t h e reaso n they advanced so
far last tifue ~~~·lack o f publicity. Well , if need be, we will
c 1 im 1' the.highest mou-fi'tain· and shout to the world that 1.tlE DO NOT
':,'A '·1"'.' TPE QUARRY REOPEN ED! :
·~e are not against anyon e mak ing money or be ing g ainfully
emDloyed, especially in th is d ay and ate, however reopening the
quarry is DANGEROUS and not feasible du e to the f o l lowing
reasons:
1. Since the quarry was last in operation, many things have
changed. Ther e are far more to urists on Highway 325 and
we unders tand there would be at leas t 16 larg e trucksa
day up and down the road . The sch ool bus alone wou ld
meet and pa ss 4 of them a day. There are lots of teenager s
from town uu and down the r oad. There are many many
family outi~gs and senior citizen g atherings along this
road. There are those of us who live here, who work in
town everyday. The re are those of us who liv e her e , who
have children on th e school bus, and who have childre n
just learning to dr ive . The nieghbors have a small child
who wil l ride the bus this fall to start school. ANYONE
who has driven u p and down h i ghw a y 325 KNOWS t ha t there
are ulaces wh ere two vehicles wou l d find it hard to
safely me et and pa ss , especially if one o f them we re a
huge truck. On e pl ace for example is the uphill curve
right at~~··the entrCI":Ce to the waterfal l s , in the State
recreation ar ea , So wh o is going to give the righ t-of-
way? Having be en around constructi on and truck drivers
for many year s , and human nature being what it is, many
of them think,,,. "Huh! , ... I 'm big2"er so let the othe r
t;uy stop or g et run o v er!" At this point let me QLJICKLY
point out th at I am NOT running down truck driver s.
I know MANY and they are the finest drivers on earth, but
there are those few wh o give other drivers a bad nam e
and we are just stating that Hi ghway 325 is NOT sa fe
enough to h andle large trucks with all th e additiona l
traffic ...••• e ven if every truck driver hauling for the
quarry were~·:ntl"mb er one safe 0 ri ve r-s , because you also
have your other dr i v ers t h at must b e watched out for.
I must also add, t h at Highway 325 is constantly being
re~aired as it is and additional huge truck traffic
would on ly make matter s wo r s e .
..·. continued 0n page 2 ,.·
r
2. ~any people do n ot rea l iz e how ea s y it is for rocks to fall
off these cliffs around h ere , s o c a n you i magine wh at
aaditional ELAST ING with dyn a mi t e would do? Anyon e wh o
~as ever lived in the mountains KNOWS t ha t rocks can fall
easily wh en it rains'~ or s now s J ""or -if the wind blow s and
we don't need shocks from e xp l o s ion s to help them down any
faster. Not only do we h a ve s he e r cliffs and falling rock s
~utmost people don't know th at th e ground here is very
unstable also. In fa c t th e house s her e at t h e h a tch ery are
setting on pilings, b e cau se wh e n they dug for the houses,
they never did hit so l id ro c k. Th e ground is a n etwork of
holes and cavern s unde r ne a th. An d most people don't know
that earthquakes are noth i ng n e w h e re either . We experienc e d
two last year alone . The one just before Christmas was
recorded in Golden at 2 .9 f or those wh o wou l d like to check
i t out. So how would you l ik e to live here with bl asting
zoing on? You can't ev e n im a g i ne th e chills up and down
your s pin e un less you -l ike u s - a wok e at 1:20 AM and felt
the bow els of the ear t h r umb ling a nd grumbling and your
hous e shaking and cre a k i n g . And a fe w years ago , the
neighbor's sofa slid acro ss t h e ro o m in th e middle of the
night. No .. we do NOT need b las ting in this area .
It is our understandin~ th at this is NOT the only p lace to g et limestone
:o~ the u se cf the uow~r nlant in CraiE, Colo. Another point we
under s tand i~ that ~e -ope~in~ ih e qu a r r y wi l l not prbvide additional
jars for the people in Ri fle, but they are bringing in t h eir own
em::iloyei:;s,
~-a y~g som e folk fi~ure there aren't e nough people living in this area to
matter -if someth i n~ s hqu ld happen to one or two of us. Eu t WZ are
neoDle too! Peopl e with feeling s , n e ed s and but for t h e grace of God
are alive, safe and well ! Plea se k eep u s th a t way!

SUBJECT: Overlay Recommendations for S.H. 325
Dynaflect readings were taken on Colo. State Highway 325 on Sept. 23 by the
Central Lab Uit.
Calculations for recommended overlay was based on the following information:
18 K EDI.A (10 yr)
Serviceability Index
Strength coefficient of HBP
Critical fact o r ad justmen t
MP 0 .0 to MP 11.4
Existing Pavement thickness
11

11.4 Mi.
3"
Dynaflect readings were uniform throughout the entire length, indicating over-
lay should be continuous.
Calculations indicate a l~" overlay would satisfy the Colorado Department of
Highways overlay requirements at this time.
Proposed increase of 16, 25 ton loads per day would increase the 18 K EDI.A to
50 (10 yr.). This increase in 18 Kips would require an additional l~" overlay
or total of 3" plant mixed bituminous pavement.

PAVEMENT OVERLAY DESIGN -605
6-35
J ULY 1981
Asphaltic overlays are used to correct both pavement surface and struc-
tural deficiencies. The type and thickness of the required overlay is
based on an evaluation of present pavement conditions and estimates of
future' traffic.
When a pavement surface evaluation indicates adequate structural
strength, but the condition of the surface needs correction, a thin
overlay (3/4" to , 1-1/2") may be used. Surface conditions which may
require correction include excessive permeability, surface raveling,
surface roughness, distorted cross section, and iow skid resistance.
When a pavement surface evaluation indicates possible structural defi-
ciencies, a more detailed analysts should be undertaken. If the pave-
ment shows deep rutting or distortion or is badly cracked, total
reconstruction is warranted. Ref lective cracking potential should be
considered in making a determination whether to reconstruct or overlay.
For a co mplete reconstruction, a soil profile should be taken a nd
drainage and climatic conditions assessed in order to design a new
pave ment structure .
When structural deficiencies exist which may be corrected by an over-
lay, the thickness of the overlay s hould be s ufficient to accommodate
predicted traffic for the se l ected design period . Normally a ten year
design period will be used. Thickness will be determined by either
Pave ment Deflection Analysis or Component Analysis.
Overlay Design by Pavement Deflection Analysis
A. Deflections will be determined with either the dynaflect or Benkle-
man Beam. The distance between deflection readings will be no more
than 0.1 miles.
On two-lane roadways, deflection readings will be taken in the outer
wheel path; the odd test site readings will be taken in one direction
and the even test site readings will be taken in the opposite direc-
tion. On multi-lane roadways, normally the deflection readings will
be taken 0.1 mile apa~t in the outer lane of each direction. Other
testing patterns may be requested by the districts for special
reasons.
When test sections are less than one mile in length, a minimum of ten
tests will be taken.
B. When deflection testing is completed, the deflection data will be
processe d to correct the readin gs for pave me nt temperature. The
corrected defl e ctions will be provided to the district for furt her
ana lysis .

more t ha n 15 test sites no r l ess t ha n 7 test sites need be use d ,
so long as the deflections are si mi l ar in va l ue .
The mean and standard deviation will be calculated for each sec-
tion . Add the mea n plus two standard deviations to obtain the
representative deflection. If one or mor e def l ections fall out-
side t he lim~ts of the mean plus or minus two standard deviations,
delete them as outliers a nd recalculate the mean and standard
deviation. Outliers s hould be removed from the calculations
only once. The representative deflection may be multiplied by
an appropriate critical factor if the readings are taken other
than when the highest deflections are expected.

obtained from the Divisi on of 1ransportatio n Planning, Traffic
Survey Sectio n .
E. Using the r e pres e ntative defl ect ion and the 13k EDLA for the
design period, obtain the structural number fro m the t hickness
design chart (Figure 605 -2 ) or the tabulated Structural Number
Book. Divide the structural number by t he strength coefficient
of the proposed aspha l t overlay materia l to determine the thick -
ness required. Design t hickness s ha l l be rounded to t he next
highest 1/4 " increment (mi ni m.u m thickness, 3/4 ").
F. Overlay projects, whic h inc l ude sr;ou l der and/or l ane widening, may
be designed by deflection analysis. The wid e ned sections shall
be sta bili zed with a thickness e quival ent to the struct ural num -
ber of the exist ing pavement lay ers plu s the overlay thickness.
The thickness and strength coefficient of t he existing pavement
layers can be determined from DOH Form No. 903 (Figure 605-4).
1he struct ural number will then be determined for each section of
the project. Widening which will carry traffic shall be fully
stabilized in accordance with the standard procedure for new con-
struction.

BASIC CONCEPTS FOR FLEXIBLE PAVEMENTS -603
Introduction
6-5
JULY 198 1
The design procedure for flexible pavements is a reflection of judg-
ments based on data obtained in the AASHTO Road Test at Ottawa,
Illinois, reported in 1962. This infonnation was supplemented by
data developed from practices now in use by other State Highway De-
partments and the Federal Highway Administration. Assistance was
generously given by these organizations and is hereby acknowledged.
Design of the pavement structure involves the consideration of numer-
ous factors, of which the most important are: volume, weiqht and
distribtuion of traffic loads; quality of the materials used; sup-
porting capacity of the subgrade soils; the resistance of the surface
to wear, expansion and contraction; climatic and other environmental
conditions.
The main obj ective of this section is to: A. define the various
design factors and their functions; B. evaluate the materials used;
a nd C. describe si mply and bri ef ly the design procedure to be used.
A met hod is presented in t his section for the desi gn of the pave ment
structure with respect to total overall thickness; and for thickness,
composition and quality of the s ubbase , base course, and surface
c ou rse. It ca n also be used in evaluating the quality and strength
of the material in place.
Definitions
A. The following specific tenns are pertinent to this section:
( 1) Axle load
The total load transmitted by all wheels on a single axle
extending across the full width of the vehicle. Tandem
axles 40 inches or less apart shall be considered as a
single axle.
"
6-6
JULY 1981 DESIGN MAN UAL
(2 ) Equivale~ce Factor
A numerical factor that expresses the relationship of a
given axle load to anot her axle load in terms of their
effect on a serviceability of a pavement structure. All
axle loads are equated in terms of the equivalent number
of repetitions of an 18,000 pound single ax le .
(3) 18k EDLA
18,000 pound single axle Equivalent Daily Load Applications
(explained in 11 Axle Load 11 and 11 Equivalence Factor 11 above).
(4) Regional Factor
A numeri ca 1 factor expressed as a surrma tion of the va 1 ues
assigned for precipitation, elevation, and drainage. This
factor is used to adjust the structural number.
(5) Servicabi lity Index
A number indicative of the ability of the pavement to serve
traffic at any particular time in its design life.
(6) Soil Support Value
A number which expresses the relative abi lity of a soil or
ag gr egate mixture to support traffic loads through the pave -
ment structure .
(7) Strength Coefficient
A factor used for expressing the relative strength, or sub-
stitution value of, layers, one to the other, for conversion
purposes in a pavement structure.
{8) Structural Number
A number derived from an analysis of roadbed and traffic
conditions. A Weighted Structural Number is a Structural
Number which has been adjusted for environmental condi-
tions. A Weighted Structural Number may be converted to
pavement structure thickness through the use of suitable
factors related to the type of material being used in the
pavement structure.
B. The following terms are general and their definitions may also
be found in introduction of th e Roadway Design Manual, the Stand-
ar d Specifications, or in the AASHTO Highway Definitions :

re: SH 325
Dear Earl:
Pho n e 945-6 1 1 1
The purpose of this letter is to determine the approximate costs of
improvements that are needed to SH 325 prior to being accepted into
the Garfield County road syste m .
The report submitted July 28, 1982 by Matthew J. Delich en titl ed
"Quarry Site Traffic Report" is quite adequate in every respect with
but two exceptions, that being the costs for those improvements
recom m ended and the need of the entire 11 plus miles of roadway
receiving an as phalt mat prior to acceptance by Garfield County.
In his report, Mr. Delic h recomm e nds the following:
reduce the side banks and widen the pavement at the blind curves.
cut the vegetation along the side of the roadway.
s i g n for hidd e n driveways at access points with restricted sight
distance.
The costs for cutting the vegetation and the signing progra m are
minimal, however the work required to reduce the side banks is major.
There are
Hatchery.
to arrive
estimate
8 troublesome areas from the Rifle Gap Res ervoir to the Fish
Without an in depth engineeri ng and cost study, it is difficult
at an accurate cost figure for this work but the primary
is in excess of $100,000.00.
The major cost for improvement of SH 325 will be the asphalt paving.
It presently is in very poor condition and should have at the very
l east a 3/4" chip and seal coat applied. This however would only
accomadatet he present so mewhat light traffic load. If the Lime Quarry
were to start with the resulting heavy truck load traffic then a 3"
asphalt mat would be required. The cost of this asphalt mat will be
$70-8 0,000 per mile or in the $800,000 completion range.
In conc lu sio n, I feel that the Delich report is adequate a nd that the
total cos t of improvements needed to the road for safe travel with
h eavy truck traffic will exceed $1,000,000.00.
