I I I .I,TAJOR CONCERNS AND ISSUES
Review Agency Comments:1. Colorado_oepartuent of Health, Air Quality Division
A Tetter-GEea-January-I9;fgE4' was recefteA-Erom scottI,tiller of the Colorado Department of Health. (see Ietter
page_ /4__) . Mr. MiIler pointed out that casting plant
operations would have an insignificant effect on airquality. He also pointed out that since no specific
asphalt batch plants had been identified for the operationthat he could noL make a determination on air quality. Hestrongly suggested that no permits be issued from the
County until air quality permits had been obtained. lltr .Miller also makes reference to the advances in air qualitycontrol over the last few years. In a telephone conver-
sation, Mr. Miller indicated that plants permitted afterApril 5, L975 have inuch stricter regulations and are more
effective in terms of controlling air quality.

Reclamation Board indicated that the Mobil Pre-l,lix
Company was in good standing with the IILRB regard-
ing their permits for their pit near Rifle.
Rifle Mr. Brent Beanr the planner for Rifle,
indicated in a letter dated January 24,L994 (see
paqe fi ), that Ehe town of Rifle had no specific
iront6ils wftfr the proposal. With regard to traffic
Loncerns, he pointed out that the roadway (ttwy 6 & 24)
had been improved last falI lo provide a center turn
lane at the intersection of County Rd. 2L0 and the
entrance to Mobil Pre-Mix.
B. Staff Comments
l. Applicants have an aceess agreement dated 1889 with the
D.R.e-.n.n. This lras purchased f rom Charles Todd who originally
owned the Mobil Pre-ttix property. Another agreement dated 1982
give the applicant a 16' wirle pr ivate roadway and crossing.
2. The total area that would be used of the 45 acre site for the
casting plant and storage area and the asphalL batch plant is
apProximatelY 6.4 + acres.
3. Although, the property owned by Mobil Pre-Mix does si! below
the grade of the highway, the plants will be visible from 6 &
24. The two plants (asphalt and casting) will be located to the
north sicle of the property. This will put them relatively close
to the railroad right-of-way and the highway 6 & 24
r ight-of-way.
4. The surrounding area consists of the following:
Northeast - (L/4 mile) Cottonwood Springs Mobile t{ome Park
South (1/4 mile) Scott ProPertYEast CaseY Concrete
West CitY of Rif1e PumPing station
North Golden Bluff Enterprises and the Lee Johnson
ProPer tY .
5. The access to the l,lobile Pre-l'lix site was improved last faII
by adding acceleration and deceleration lanes on Highway 6 & 24.
It is noted in the application that there has not been an
accident at the intersection of Highway 6 & 24 and the operations
driveway in the past 23 years that the gravel pit and concrete
batch plant have been in operation.
6. The request is for intermittent use of various asphalt batch
plants. Because there is not one permanent plant and operator
involved, a temporary permit of 5 years seem more appropriate
than a permanent Special Use permit. The applicants may reapply
for another permit after the 5 year permit expires.
7. The applicants anticipate that the operations wilI require
approximately 45 oneway vehicle trips per day (35 trips for the
asphalt plant and 10 for the casting plant).
IV. FINDINGS
1. That the hearing before the Board of County Commissioners was
extensive and complete, that all pertinent facts, matters and
issues were submiEted and that all interested parties were heard
at that hearing.
2.
3.
2. That the proposed land use will be compatible with existing
and permitted land uses in all directions.
3. That for the above stated and other reasons, the proposed
zoning is in the best interest of tl:e health, safety, morals,
convenience, order, prosperity and welfare of the citizens of
Garfield County.

Dear Cindy:
The City has no major objections to the Mob'il Premjx property be'ing used for
an asphilt plant sit. und casting p1ant. The.request was not-clear, however, -
as to whether or not the asphalt"piant would be a permanent plant or a seasonal
plant to be in operation oniy on demand. I^lil'l Mobil Premix own the plant or
i^ritt other compan jes such as Grand River Construction or E'lam Constructjon
Companies be operating on the property? If other compan'ies operate on the
proberty, the Lse guiielines fbr tfre'property need to be c'lear enough that all
users will be on n6tice of such conditions as height or EPA requirements.
A seasonai operation w'tll also generate varying peak traffic loads on H'ighway
6 & 24. This roadway has been ilidened to provide a center turn lane at the
intersection of Couniy Road 210 and the entrance to Mobil Premix. These
improvements were maaL tast fall and should help to reduce any potential traffic
hazard to this area.
