GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Dolores (Dee) B. Blue
Revocable Trust and Dee Blue
(Applicant) seeks to amend a
Special Use Permit for an B2.lO
acre gravel mining operation
known as the Blue pit. This
amendment proposes to expandthe existing mine by
approximately 60 acres, asubstantial change
necessitating a review through
Major lmpact Review.
The subject parcel is ZBt.94
acres in size and consists of twoproperties (Parcel Numbers:
2393-254-00-265 and 2393-254-00-285) This parcel presently conta.ins.an existing mining operation (g1.2g acres), irrigatedpasture land (with several agricultural outbuildings and iree rarm;, commercial nursery, and steeptreed slopes. A 165 acre conservation easement has been place on the north portion of theparcel. See above map.
The site is accessed from SH 82 with a secondary access off of County Road 103 (CR 103) andCounty Road 104 (CR 104). The existing grrret mining site contains a scate/administrationbuilding, office/shop building, concrete batcn ptant lownei and operated by Casey Concrete, asubsidiary of Western Slopes Aggregate (WSA)), piimary crushei, wash plant, wash pond, andmaterial storage and crushing areas.
The Blue Pit expansion is proposed to commence in the sprin g of 2013 if approved this year. Thesite will be mined in four phases for 46 years and reclamaiion will occur concurrenfly with mining.This timeline is an estimate and is dependent upon demand and market conditions.
!I. BACKGROUND
A Special Use Permit (.SUe) for gravel extraction was originally approved in 19gl by GarfieldCounty for the Blue Pit (Resolution 81-384, Exhibit G). Theie have been various amendments tothe original SUP through the years including access io sH 82, addition of a concrete batch ptantand defining the hours of operation (Resolutions 93-051 and 96-4g, Exhibit C; to 1.,rr" a few.The approvals set forth in these resolutions have been maintained as conditions throughout theproject history.
ln 2010 a SUP amendment was proposed to add 64 acres to the existing permitted area of whichonly two of the four mining phases (Mining Area 2 -18.49 acres and Mining Area 4 - z2.os acres)were approved by the Board of County Commissioners (BoCC). The min'ing oi pn6". 2 and 4without the two other phases made the extraction of gravel unfeasible, proriting the submittal ofthis application. The Applicant also indicates that ttie present applicaiion oir"L from the 2010proposal in that mining is to occur in a "sweeping" manner instead of minint in blocks or cells.Also, the perimeter of the mined area will also und-ulate giving it a more naturai rpp"rrrn." ratherthan rectangular shape proposed in the last applicati6n. "nn undulating edge was a desiredcharacteristic voiced by the surrounding property owners during the review of the mine in 20rc.
II!. SITE DESCRIPTION
The Blue Pit is located
approximately 2.5 miles direcfly
northeast of Carbondale, CO,
north of SH 82, and between CR
100 and CR 103. primary
access to the site is provided by
SH 82 and maintains an accesspermit from the Colorado
Department of Transportation.The property also has asecondary access off of
CR104/CR 103. The primary
access point is direcfly across
from The Ranch at Roaring Fork
subdivision sharing the median
break for site access. The
driveway from SH 82 is paved up
to the top of the ridgeline which
screens the site operations from
this roadway.
The overall site plan shown on page 2 illustrates the existing mining operation and the proposedexpansion area.
The subject site is bounded on the south by SH 82, on the east by private property (a portion ofwhich was the old Carbondale Landfill), on ihe north is a steep rrittsioe and pasiureland within theparcel boundaries and protected by a conservation easement, and an agricultural field to the westthat will become the Cerise Pit. The Ranch at Roaring Fork subdivision is located direcfly south ofthe site adjacent to and across SH 82 and the WoodJn Deer subdivision is located approximately
Ya mile north of the proposed expansion area. There are three ponds and two ditches present on-site The Basin Ditch runs through the central portion of the site and Spring Ditch lies along theeastern perimeter of the property. Existing topsoil is presenfly stored ealt of existing mlningoperation and will be used for reclamation oflhe existing slopes in phase 1.
IV. SITE PLAN
The expansion area has gravel at depths of more than 100 feet and groundwater g0 feet belowthe ground surface' ln order to prevent intercepting groundwater, all proposed mining will be kepttwo feet above the designated groundwater depth. - -
Mining will occur in four phases (Phases 1-4), see map below. From the Mining and ReclamationMaps provided in the application, the site is proposed to be mined at 1.5H:1V (1.5:1) with theexception of the north facing slopes which will be mined at a 3H:1V (3:1) slope for the first 30 feetand 1 5:1 below the initial 30 feet to the pit bottom. This mining technique is proposed in order toreduce visual impacts to land owners to the north such as the Wooden Deer subdivision andprovide rapid reclamation. The depth of the proposed mining will be approximately g0 feet deepbut will depend on geologic/soil conditions and the level of groundwater.

rir
i
Reclamation will occur concurrently with all mining and all slopes will be reclaimed to a 3:1 slopein Phases 2 -4' Recla.I3liol a_t a 3:1 slope is a deviation from the Unified Land Use Resotution of2008, as amended, (ULUR) Section 7-B4o (H)(1Xb)(1) which specifies s:t itopes for dry tand
,4: :A
$s
slope areas. The Applicant is seeking approval to deviate from the 5:1 to 3:1 reclaimed slopesfrom the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC).
WSA calculates that there is approximately 18,369,000 tons of gravel that can be mined within thesubject site, see chart below, The Applicant indicates that the maximum amount of gravel thatcan be mined in a year is 450,000 tons, however due to a decrease in market demand it isanticipated that only 200,000 to 300,000 tons will be mined per year. please note that theprojected time shown below is based on mining approximatety +OO,oOO tons per year.
Phase Area to be Mined

3 20.74 99 3,978,000
4 862 66 2,654,000
TOTAL 95 23 458 18,369,000* The total acreage within phase 1 is g1.29 acres. Theicreage id"ntified in thiiffi
reflects the remaining amount of land to be mined.
There will be between 20 and 30 employees working at the site but will depend on the time of theyear and work load.
Mining and processing will operate 12 months a year. The hours of operation proposed in theapplication are 7:o0 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Saturday with administrative andmaintenance functions occurring one hour before and triro hours afier the hours of operation.Therefore' the site will be open from 6:00 am to 7:00 pm, Monday through Saturday in some sortof capacity. This proposal deviates from what was memorialized in Resolution zo11-10 whichstates: "Hours of Operation: the gravel pit shall be allowed to operate Monday - Saturday, withcrushing, digging, andheavy hauling only occurring between 7:00 am to 5:00 p, rvronJlv.li;J;;Friday; heavy hauling from 7:00 am to s:oo pm on-saturday; and crushing and digging from g:00am to 5:00 pm on Saturday. There shall be no operationi on Sunday eicept in the case of anemergency or for standard maintenance purposes." The BOCC ,.y 'rnlr. this conditionregarding hours based on the testimony presented at the public hearing.
The mining sequence for each phase is described as foilows:
Phase 1 181.29 acres)o This phase consists primarily of the existing 198l mining permit area with minimat additionalexpansion area;o Relocate the Basin Ditch along the west property line;. Relocate the existing farm road along west and north property lines;o Build a five foot tall berm and plant 65 to 140 trees on the berm along the north property lineof the subject site;. Strip topsoil and overburden;

VI. REVIEW STANDARDS & STAFF COMMENTS
Major lmpact Review for Gravel Extraction are required to adequately address topics in the listed
submittal requirements of Section 4-501 (F) Major lmpact Review which includes: Land Suitability
Anatysis (Section 4-502(D)), lmpact Analysis (Section 4-502(E)), Erosion and Sediment Control
(Seciion 4-502 (C)(4)), the General Development Standards found in Article Vll of the Garfield
dounty Unified Land Use Resolution of 2008 (ULUR). Pursuant to Divisions 1-3 of Article Vll all
applications for land use change shall conform to the listed standards. Divisions 1-3 discuss
General Approval Standards, Resource Protection, and Site Planning and Development. The
Applicant has addressed all of the requirements of the ULUR that apply to this Major lmpact
Review and specifically for Gravel Extraction with standards listed in Section 7-840, Additional
Standards Applicable to Gravel Extraction. The following provides a review of specific standards
that are of interest when considering the impacts caused by Gravel Extraction followed by a staff
response.
Section 4-502 (Dl Land Suitabilitv Analvsis
1. Public Access fo Site. Show historic public access to or through the site.
Staff Response: Access to the site is from SH 82 and CR 104/CR 103.
Access to adjoining Roadways. tdentify access to adjoining roads and site distance
an d i ntersecti on co n strai nts.
Staff Response: The subject site accesses SH 82 by a private access road. A CDOT access
permit has been issued for this road (DOT Permit No. 396055). This permit expires on
September 24,2012 but the Applicant has received an extension from CDOT (Exhibit L). The
acceleration and deceleration lane improvements on SH 82 as per this permit will be built the
summer of 2013 if this application is approved. No sight distance or intersection constraints
are evident with this access location. The site is also accessed from CR 104/CR 103 which is
rarely used.
Easemenfs. Show all easements defining, limiting or allowing use types and access.
Staff Response: There is a gas line and overhead power lines south and adjacent to the
subject site. No easement widths are given for these utilities. The Basin Ditch runs through
the site and the Spring Ditch is located along the east property line, outside the area to be
mined. The application indicates that both the Basin and Spring Ditches have a 25 foot
easement but is not shown on any of the maps within the application.
Topography and Stope. Topography and slope determination.
Stiff Response: The property is hidden from view on the south by a 90 foot high ridge that
runs the length of the property along the southern boundary effectively screening mining
operations from SH 82. The eastern portion of the site contains the original Blue Pit
operations consisting of the office/shop building, scale/administration building, concrete batch
3.
plant, and crushing/screening operations. The western portion of the site is slightly bowl
shaped and currently in agricultural production as grazing land. The topography increases
significantly north of the Blue Pit (labeled Pinyon-Juniper Woods on Map C-1 Phase 1-
Existing Site) with this portion of the property contained within a conservation easement. The
topography within the expansion area has no significant slope and increases in elevation
when moving to the east. The Garfield County Geographic lnformation System identifies an
area of moderate Soils Related Hazard in the northeast corner of the site.
5. Naturat Features. Significant natural featureson-sife and off-site.
Staff Response: The expansion is slightly bowl shaped and currently irrigated
pastureland. There is an increase in elevation as you move eastward in the proposed
expansion area. There is one pond on-site fed by the Basin and Spring Ditches and used to
irrigate the pastureland on the parcel. The Basin Ditch runs north/south through the site and
the Spring Ditch is located within a pipe at the extreme east perimeter of the property. One
wash pond is located within the confines of the current mining operation and shown on the
mining plans. There is a significant g0 foot high ridge that runs easUwest along the property's
southern boundary. A significant hillside is located north of the Blue Pit and out of the mining
area.
6. Drainage Features. Existing drainages and impoundments, natural and manmade.
Staff Response: There are three man-made water bodies on-site including an irrigation pond,
ditch pond, and a wash pond. The Basin Ditch is used to fill the irrigation pond which waters
that existing hayfields. The Ditch Pond located in the southeast corner of the property collects
runoff from the topsoil stockpile along the east property line. The wash pond is located in the
bottom of the pit and used for the washing process of the mining operation.
The Basin Ditch runs north/south through the existing mining operation and the Spring Ditch is
located at the extreme eastern perimeter of the site.
7. Water. Historic irrigation, tailwater issues, water demands, adequate water suppty plan
pursuant to Section 7-104.
Staff Response: The proposed expansion area will not create an additional demand for water.
Water for the site is supplied from the Basin Ditch, Spring Ditch, and two water wells
(Sunnyside lndustrialWell No. 1 and Sunnyside Pit Weil No. 2).
The mining operation has an approved augmentation plan for the use of the water from the
Basin Ditch and Sunnyside lndustrial Well No. 1. This water is used for dust suppression,
material washing, and concrete production. The purpose of the Sunnyside lndustrial Well No.
2 is for drinking and sanitary facilities on-site. However, due to the poor taste of the ground
water, the Applicant has bottled water transported to the site by Mountain Clear Water. Both
Basin and Spring Ditches are used to irrigate the pastureland within the property.
The Basin and Spring Ditches only run during irrigation season and the wells on-site are not
affected by seasonal variations. During non-irrigation season, all water for the mining
operation comes from the Sunnyside lndustrial Well No. 1.
8. Floodplain. Flood plain and flood fringe delineations.
Staff Response: The Garfield County Geographic lnformation System does not identify the
site in a designated floodplain or flood hazard area.
area:in
10
9. Soi/s. Soils determination, percolation constraints, as applicable.
Staff Response: The site consists mainly of Empedrado loams. These soils range from 2-60/o
slope and are deep, well drained soils with moderate permeability and high water capacity.
Surface runoff is medium and erosion hazard is slight for these soils.
Presently, an lndividual Septic Disposal System (ISDS) is on-site along with several port-a-
potties located around the site. The existing ISDS is designed to serve five employees. The
application indicates that there will be 20-30 employees on the property and they wish to
continue with the existing wastewater configuration. lf a land use is in place longer than one
year the County directs Applicants to provide a permanent wastewater system that can
accommodate all their employees. lt will be up to the BOCC's discretion if this wastewater
scenario is adequate.
The Colorado Geologic Survey (Exhibit K) identifies the area as having collapsible soils but if
the site is mined as proposed this agency won't have any concerns.
10. Hazards. Geologic hazards on-site, and adjacent to site.
Staff Response: The Garfield County Geographic lnformation System identifies the site as not
having any geologic hazards.
The Geotechnical Stability Analysis prepared by Greg Lewicki and Associates dated February
2012 states "that the mine and reclamation plans in this application will lead to stable slopes
during and after mining and that there is no realistic threat of failure or to the stability of any
structures outside the permit area."
The Colorado Geological Survey indicates that there are subsidence risks in the area but if the
mining occurs as discussed in the application, the side slopes proposed should be stable.
This agency finds this application acceptable and no further analysis is required.
11. Natural Habitat. Existing flora and fauna habitat, wetlands, migration routes.
Staff Response: A Wildlife and Habitat Assessment was prepared by Banks and Gesso, LLC
dated April 2009 for the expansion area. The report notes that the site consists primarily of
irrigated hayfield with a pinyon-juniper covered hillside in the northeast corner.
Deer and elk are the two most affected species that use the site both during the summer and
as winter range and that deer make less use of the site than elk. There are no mapped
summer range, production areas, or migration routes for elk. The report states that there will
be a reduction in habitat area during mining activities but proper reclamation and replanting
will enhance the site for wildlife. The report suggests the proposed weed control plan is a
mitigating measure and that pet restrictions be imposed to limit harassment of wildlife.
No wetland species were found on-site.
12. Resource Areas. Protected or Regisfered Archaeological, cultural, paleontological and
historic resou rce areas.
Staff Response: The application contains a letter from the Colorado Historical Society dated
May 22, 2012. The letter does not identify any archeological or historic sites within the
project area.
Section 4-502 (El lmpact Analvsis The lmpact Analysis shall provide a description of the
impacts that the proposed land use change may cause, based upon the standards that the
proposed use must safisfy. The lmpact Analysis shall include a complete description of how the
tt
applicant will ensure that impacts wilt be mitigated and standards willbe saflsfied. The following
iniormation shalt be inctuded in the lmpact Analysis'
1. Adjacent Property. An address lisf of real property adiacent to the subiect property,
and the mailing address for each of the property owners'
Staff Response: The Applicant provided an addrels list for property owners within 200 feet of
the parcelfor Public notice.
2. Adjacent Land lJse. Existing use of adiacent property and neighboring properties
within 1500'radius.
Staff Response: The site is located in an area of irrigated pasture, gravel mining, commercial
uses, and rural residential uses.
3. Site Features. A description of site features such as streams, areas subiect to flooding,
lakes, high ground water areas, topography, vegetative cover' ctimatology' and other
features that may aid in the evaluation of the proposed development'
Staff Response,
-From
SH 82 the site steeply slopes up to a plateau usetl fo-r agriculture and
gravel mining. This rise effectively screens the mining operation form SH 82. The eastern
portion of the site contains the original Blue Pit operations consisting of an office/shop,
administration/scale house, concrete-batch plant, and crushing and screening equipment' The
western portion of the site is currently in agricultural_production as irrigated pasture The
topography increases significantly nortn of the Blue Pit (labeled Pinyon Juniper Woods on
fr1lp-C-il w1h this portioi of the farcel contained within a conservation easement. There are
no natural water bodies on the site but three man-made ponds used for irrigation and mining
and two ditches (Basin Ditch and Spring Ditch). There are no areas of flooding or high ground
water located on the site.
Climate data for the site is assumed to be similar to that of the Glenwood Springs #2 (053359)
weather station. The average precipitation is 16.47 inches. The average temperatures range
from the 80's in the summer to low teens during winters'
4. Soil Characferisfics. A description of soil characferistics of the site which have a
significant influence on the proposed use of the land'
Staff Response: This is addressed under Section 4-502 (D) Land Suitability Analysis, 9' Soils'
5. Geotogy and Hazard. A description of the geologic characteristics of the area including
any potential natural or man-made hazards, and a determination of what effect such
factors would have on the proposed use of the land'
Staff Response: This is addressed under Section 4-502 (D) Land Suitability Analysis, 10'
Hazards.
6. Effect on Existing water supply and Adequacy of supply. Evalua.tion of the effect of the
proposed tand ise on the iipacity of the source o.f wa,ter supply to meet existing and
future domestic and agricultural iequirements and meeting the adequate water supply
requirements of Section 7'104.
Staff Response: This is addressed under Section 4-502 (D) Land Suitability Analysis' 7'
Water.
T. Effect on Groundwater and Aquifer Recharge Areas. Evaluation of the relationship of
the subject parcel to floodplains, the natui of soils and subsoils and their ability to
adequaiely-support waste disposal, the stope of the land, the effect of sewage
effluents, ana ine pollution of surface runoff, stream flow and groundwater'
Staff Response: The Mining and Reclamation Plans shows new buildings for a
scale/administration, maintenance, and shop. No details on these buildings are provided in
the application since they will be construction sometime in the future. A new wastewater
disposal system will also be installed at the time of building construction.
The site is outside any identified flood hazard zones. The application narrative reports that
groundwater in the expansion is at 90 feet below the surface and all mining activities will be
maintained at least two feet above groundwater.
There is an existing lndividual Septic Disposal System (ISDS) (Permit No. 2038) located near
the existing office and shop (Exhibit N). This ISDS is designed to accommodate five people,
which isn't sufficient to serve the 20 to 30 people proposed. Presently, several port-a-potties
are located around the site to accommodate employees and are serviced by Mountain Roll
Offs, lnc. No "will serve" letter has been provided in the application and submittal of this letter
shall be made as a condition of approval.
The application narrative reports that groundwater is located 90 feet below the ground surface
and all mining activities are to stay above the groundwater. lf any spills occur on-site, the Spill
Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC) dated January 2010 will be followed to
contain these spills. Fuel storage tanks are located east of the scale/administrative building
and have a secondary containment around them.
8. Environmental Effects. Determination of the existing environmental conditions on the
parcel to be developed and the etTecfs of development on fhose conditions, including:
a. Determination of the long term and short term effect on flora and fauna.
Staff Response: This is addressed under Section 4-502 (D) 11. Natural Habitat.
b. Determination of the effect on significant archaeological, cultural, paleontological,
historic resources.
Staff Response: This is addressed under Section 4-502 (D) 12. Resource Areas.
c. Determination of the effect on designated environmental resources, including
criti cal w i I dl ife h abitat.(1) lmpacts on wildlife and domestic animals through creation of hazardous
attractions, alteration of existing native vegetation, blockade of migration
routes, use patterns or other disruptions.
Staff Response: A Wildlife and Habitat Assessment was prepared by Banks and Gesso,
LLC dated April 2009 and states that there will be a reduction in habitat area during mining
activities but proper reclamation and replanting will enhance the site for wildlife. The
report also suggests the proposed weed control plan is a mitigating measure and that pet
restrictions to limit harassment of wildlife be imposed. The area is not identified as critical
habitat with limited impacts to native vegetation. lmpacts appear to be minimal.
d. Evaluation of any potentiat radiation hazard that may have been identified by the
Stafe or County Health Departments.
Staff Response: There are no radiation hazards identified for this site.
13
e. spill Prevention control and counter Measures plan, if applicable.
Staff Response: The application includes a Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure
Plan prepared by Greg Lewicki and Associates, PLLC. The plan details on-site storage
and handling of liquids, how spills are handled, emergency response, and training.
9. Traffic. Assessment of traffic impacts based upon a traffic study prepared in
compliance with Secfion 4-502(J).
Staff Response: The property has public road access onto SH 82 with an active access
permit issued by the CDOT which was recently renewed. This permit is based on 77 Design
Hourly Volume (which includes passenger car equivalents) rather than acreage mined. There
are no issues using the current access permit for gravel mining activities. Secondary access
to the site is through CR 104 connecting to CR 103.
Garfield County Road and Bridge had no issue with the proposed expansion. A traffic study
was prepared by Kimley-Horne, dated May 31 , 2012 which didn't identify any increase in
traffic volumes.
10. Nuisance. lmpacts on adiacent land from generation of vapor, dust, smoke, noise, glare
or vibration, or other emanations.
Staff Response: Mining activities are known to impact surrounding areas in which they are
situated. This application addresses this section as follows:
Air Permit (Construction Permit)
The Applicant has provided in the application Construction Permits for the gravel pit and
equipment to be used for the mining operation. All permits are current which was verified by
County staff on August 16,2012 with Jonathan Brickey, Colorado Department of public Health
and Environment (CDPHE).
Noise
Gravel extraction emits significant and constant noise. Noise levels related to certain uses in
Colorado (as well as is referenced in the County's land use regulations) is governed by state
law (CRS 25-12-103). The law provides that the noise emitter cannot exceed certain noise
levels (measured at 25 feet beyond the gravel extraction property line) based on the adjacent
receiver property's use. ln this case of the Blue Pit there are several uses that surround the
subject property that the County identifies as residential (northwest, north, northeast, and
west), light industrial (south), and industrial (east and west).
Section 5 of CRS 525-12-103 of the noise abatement law also states, "Construction projects
shall be subiect to the maximum permissible noise levels specified for industrial zones for theperiod within which construction is to be completed pursuant to any applicabte construction
permit issued by proper authority or, if no time timitation is imposed, for a reasonable period of
time for completion of the project." Therefore, during "construction" a use can be as loud as
the table permits (at 80 dB(A)). The statue, however, does not describe what activities are
included as "construction."
A Noise Assessment prepared by EDI dated January 2010 and revised June 2012
accompanied by an August 2012 Supplemental Data (Exhibit O) states the noise analysis is
based on two requirements: 1) during development (construction of access roads, top soil
removal and storage, set up stationary equipment such as crushers, screens, and enginegenerators, installation of utilities, and construction of earthen noise barrier berms) the
daytime noise limits shall not exceed the maximum allowable for lndustrial Zoning of 80 dB(A)
at a distance of 25 feet beyond the subject site in all directions; and, 2) during production
(hauling and processing of materials) in the expansion area, the noise limits shall not exceed
the maximum allowable for Residential Zoning of 55 dB(A) during the daytime and 50 dB(A)
during nighttime at a distance of 25 feet beyond the subject site or at the receptor.
Construction Noise Levels
This report indicates that the maximum noise levels during all the phases is to occur when
front end loaders are moving overburden at ground level and near the subject site boundary
line. The noise levels at the closest homes to the north and south of the subject site will be 62
dB(A) or less. Twenty five feet from the west and east boundaries of the subject site the noise
levels will be 70 and 66 dB(A), respectively. As indicated above, the "mining construction" is
subject to the maximum permissible noise levels specified for the industrial zone and since
these anticipated noise levels are below 80 dB(A) they'll be in compliance with applicable
limits identified in CRS S25-12-103.
The Noise Assessment Supplemental states that during production the noise levels 25' from
the subject property line will range from 35 to 66 dB(A)s (see map below) which are in
compliance with the CRS noise standards. However, please note that the reclaimed landfill
will have 66 dB(A) which contradicts the statement in the lV. Analysis A 2, page 7 of the report
which indicates that the noise levels of the subject site will not exceed the residenttal noise
limits of 55 dB(A) during production.
15
Glare
The existing buildings and storage tanks are painted neutral colors and mining equipment is
located in the pit and non-reflective. The application doesn't mention lighting but a condition
of approval shall be set stating that all lighting on-site is to be shield and directed inward and
downward.
Vibration
WSA will not conduct any activities within the Blue Mine permit boundary that causes
perceptible ground vibration at any point along the boundary line of the subject property.
ll.Reclamation Plan. A reclamation plan consisfent with the standards in Section 7-Z1Z
(B).
Staff Response: Reclamation will occur concurrently with all mining and slopes in Phases 2, 3,
and4 will be reclaimed to a 3:1 slope, see Erosion Control Map2 - Reclaimed Site or Phase
4 - Fully Reclaimed Site/Reclamation Plan Map. Phase 1, located within the existing permit,
has approval to reclaim to a slope of 2.5'.1. Reclamation at a 3:1 slope deviates from the
Unified Land Use Resolution of 2008, as amended, (ULUR) Section 7-840 (H)(1)(b)(1) which
specifies 5:1 slopes for dry land slope areas. The Applicant is seeking approval to deviate
from the 5:1 to 3:1 reclaimed slopes from the BOCC. The shape of the pit will undulate to giveit a more natural appearance, an appearance desired by Wooden Deer subdivision
homeowners.
The post-mining land use includes irrigated pasture, rangeland, and industrial. The concrete
batch plant will remain in its current location and continue to produce concrete for the
surrounding area, but all the aggregate will be imported to the plant. The pit floor will be
seeded with a pasture grass and the side slopes with Dryland (Rangeland) Seed Mix. A
temporary seed mix will be used on the north facing slopes during the mining phases to
reduce visual impacts to neighbors to the north and will be reseeded with the Dryland Seed
Mix when final reclamation occurs on-site. The pastureland is to be irrigated and dryland
areas only during drought years. Staff recommends that the dryland seeded areas be
irrigated for the first two years to assist it becoming established.
Prior to any mining occurring in the expansion area,65 to 140 trees (deciduous and
evergreen) will be planted along the north perimeter to reduce the visual impact of the mining
operation (see Landscape Plan) and irrigated by a sprinkler system with water supplied from
the Basin Ditch.
Several roads shall remain after reclamation in order to provide access to site.
No surface water shall leave the site. Stormwater will be directed to the pit bottom where it
can drain through the porous materials at the bottom of the pit. Stormwater falling on the pit's
reclaimed side slopes will be caught in catchment benches with grouted channels that will
transfer all water to the pit floor.
Secfion 7-101 Compliance with Zone District Use Resfrictions
Staff Response: The property is in the Rural Zoning District and a gravel extraction facility is
considered a permitted land use subject to Major lmpact Review. All development standards are
met.
16
Section 7-102 Compliance with Comprehensive Plan and lntergovernmental Agreements
Staff Response: The Garfield County Comprehensive Plan 2030 encourages resource extraction.
This is expressed in Section 9 - Mineral Extraction Vision which states "Resource extraction,
including oil and gas development, has been encouraged to remain in the county due to their
contribution they make to the county's overall goal of having a diverse and stable economy.
While resource industries are welcomed in the county, they have been expected to fairly mitigate
negative impacts that might have resulted due to their operations."
Ultimately, this gravel extraction project is an industrial activity with long-term impacts to the land
and is not generally compatible with residential uses; however, both the Comprehensive Plan and
the ULUR indicate that gravel extraction can be "compatible" if adequate mitigation is proposed
that is acceptable to the BOCC.
The Future Land Use Designation for the subject site is Residential Medium (6 to <10 acres per
dwelling unit) however, the Applicant is proposing an end use of agriculture. The subject property
and site are also identified as being in the Aggregate, Sand and Gravel Potential area of the
County indicating its importance as a resource.
Secfion 7-1 03 Com p ati b i I ity
Staff Response: The site is located in an area of agriculture, gravel mining, commercial, and rural
residential uses. The proposed mining operation is compatible with the adjacent Cerise Mine and
Powers Mine situated to the west of the site. The views of the property from SH 82 are not
possible due to a 90 foot elevation difference and vegetation. Pinon and junipers situated along
the southern edge of the subject property screen the site from parcels to the south. A large earth
berm screens the site from the east. There are residential properties to the north and northwest
of the Blue Pit (i.e., Wooden Deer Subdivision) which are at a higher elevation than the mine. ln
order to mitigate the views of these property owners, the Applicant proposes to plant trees along
the north permit boundary, reclaim the north facing slopes when mining, and place mining
equipment in the pit.
Secfion 7-104 Sufficient Legal and Physical Source of Water
Staff Response: This is addressed under Section 4-502 (D) Land Suitability Analysis, 7. Water.
The Carbondale & Rural Fire Protection District indicate that they have no issues with the
application.
Secfion 7-105 Adequate Water Supply
Staff Response. Water supply requirements will not change with this expansion. The estimated
supply requirements are 7.4 acre-feet per year with the following breakdown:

Staff Response: This is addressed in Section 4-502 (E) tmpact Analysis, 9. Traffic.
Secfion 7-109 No Significant Risk from Natural Hazards
Staff Response: The Garfield County GIS maps do not identify any areas of natural hazard onthe site.
Secfion 7-201 Protection of Agricultural Lands
Staff Response: The use of the site will not adversely affect surrounding agricultural uses. TheGarfield County GIS identifies soil at the northeast corner as "Prime, lrrigJted;' and at the southernboundary of the expansion area as "lrrigated, Not Prime". The majority of the mining impacts willbe centrally located with some impact to the northeastern edge anO soutnern boundary. On-sitesoils will be stockpiled and reused in the final reclamation. The end use of the site is pastureland.
ln the application the Basin Ditch will be moved to the west and north perimeters of the subjectsite and placed in a siphon. As per Section 7-201 (G) (1), no design deiails ordocumentation forthe Basin Ditch was provided that ..."shall insure that the uie of those ditches includingmaintenance, can continued uninterrupted.", therefore, this standard has not been met. There arethree options the BOCC can consider regarding this deficiency including: 1) set a condition ofapproval to provide a design of the proposed ditch alignment; 2i continuithe public hearing untilthe design is documented and reviewed by staff; or, 3) deny the application.
Secfion 7-202 Protection of Witdtife Habitat Areas
Staff Response: This is addressed under Section 4-502 (D) 11. Natural Habitat.
Secfion 7-203 Protection of Weflands and Waterbodies
Staff Response: The Garfield County Geographic lnformation System does not identify anydesignated flood plain, flood hazard area, wetlands or other water bodies on the site. The BasinDitch runs through the center of the existing mining area and the Spring Ditch is located on theeast perimeter of the site.

Section 7-205 Erosion and Sedimentation
Staff Response: The application contains Erosion Control Maps 1 and 2 prepared by GregLewicki and Associates dated February 2012.
Presently, all stormwater runoff in the mined area of the site is directed to the pit floor where it willfilter into the groundwater. As the mining progresses into the expansion area (pastureland), allstormwater will be directed to the pit bottom. The consulting engineer has requested that theApplicant provide runoff volume, surface areas, depths, infiltration rates of the site. staffrecommends that this be made a condition of approval.
Once the site is reclaimed, drainage will be directed to three 8.25 foot wide stormwater catchmentbenches as illustrated on the Erosion control Map 2 - Reclaimed site. These benches will conveystormwater to four grouted channels that will carry the water to the bottom of the reclaimed pit.
Since all the stormwater runoff is contained on-site no Stormwater Management plan orStormwater Discharge permit are required.

Secfion 7-840 Additional Sfandards Applicable to Gravel Extraction
A. Water Quantity & Quality lmpacts / Floodplain lmpacts
Staff Response: This section generally applies to site located within a floodplain but does have
other requirements that apply. This site is not located within a designated floodplain and all
drainage on-site will be directed inward. The application contains an Erosion and Sedimentation
Control Plan (ESCP) prepared by Greg Lewicki & Associates with Erosion Control Map 1 and 2.
Drainage will be directed to stormwater catchment benches on the reclaimed portions of the pit
which will then convey this water to the reclaimed pit floor by grouted concrete lined channels as
illustrated in Map 2. All stormwater originating on the site will be directed to the pit floor.
ln the application the Basin Ditch is proposed to be moved to the west and north perimeter of the
site and placed in a siphon as shown on Map 2. No design documentatiorr for this ditch
realignment has been provided in the application.
The application includes a Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure Plan prepared by Greg

minor spills are handled, emergency response, and training.
A letter from the Carbondale and Rural Fire Protection District dated January 29,2010 is included
in the application stattng that on-site storage of flammable liquids meets the requirements of the
District. A referral email was also received (Exhibit M) indicating that the fire protection district
doesn't have any concerns regarding the application.
A standard in this section states "The proposed operation will be located a sufficient distance from
other mining operations so as not to create cumulative impacts to the integrity of the water course.
The Board of Commissioners will determine sufficiency of distance" This section is not applicable
to this application.
There are no water bodies or natural surface water on this site. This standard does not apply.
The proposed expansion area will not create an additional demand for water. The current Blue Pit
operations has an approved augmentation plan for use of ditch water and an approved wells for
site operations and demonstrated adequate legal and physical water for the mining operations.
B. Air Quality
Staff Response: The Applicant has provided in the application Construction Permits for the
gravel pit and equipment to be used for the mining operation. All permits are current which
was verified by County staff on August 16,2012 with Jonathan Brickey, Colorado Department
of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE).
To controlfugitive dust on-site the Applicant proposes the following:. Reclaim and re-vegetate slopes while mining;. Use a water spray bars in the crushing and screening plant;. Drop heights of gravel will be limited for conveyor loading, transfer points, and screening
and crushing activities;. Limit on-site vehicle speeds; and,. Frequently traveled on-site roadways will be sprayed.

A Phasing Analysis was provided in the application. This report anticipates that during the initialphase of the cerise Pit, when the site improvements (entry road, lsDS) and the large berms areconstructed and 20 to 30 acres are stripped of top'soil and overburden is when the greatestamount of dust and disturbance will occur. The mining oi pnffi" 1 of the Blue pit will occur duringthis time period As per the chart above the cerise iit *itt be mined in 15 years and during thistime period pastureland will provide a 1,300 foot separation oetween the Blue and cerise pits (seegraphic on page 24).
As per the air permits (aka construction Permits) issued by cDpHE each pit must meet theNational Ambient Air Quality standards (NAAOS) *ni.n-Gres into consideration the impacts ofthe mining project and background concentrations of pollutants in the area. The NAAQS requireall mining operations to meet.air quality.standards at ineii permit boundaries. To meet air qualitystandards construction Permits restrici the amount of emissions into the air (fugitive particulatematter) and/or request emission controls measures for the equipment. ln order to meet the airquality permits standards, the Applicant has a fugitive ousi control plan they are apptying to theexisting pit and wiil continue to use on the proposed expansion area.

C. Noise / Vibration
Staff Response: This is addressed under section 4-so2(E) lmpact Analysis, 10. Nuisance.
D. Visual lmpacts
Staff Response: This application proposes to mine the subject site in four phases in order tominimize the visual impact.
Due to the rise in topography of the gropgrtv, the existing and proposed mining activities willnot be seen from areas south of the site. However, the la"no north of the Blue pit is at a higherelevation and maintains views of the subject site. A Visual Jmpact Report prepared by GregLewicki dated January 2012 recognizes these impacts ind proposes methods to minimizethem including:
' Plant 65 to 140 trees (mix of deciduous and evergreen) approximately 10 feet in heightalong the northern perimeter of the site;
' Mine the top 30 feet of the southern edge of each phase to a 3:1 slope in order to allowrapid reclamation through grass seeding;o Reduce dust by reclaiming areas while mining;o Removal of topsoil and overburden for each phase will be stripped in a rectangular fashionto emulate a plowed field which is done on the exisfing fields from time to time. Theremoval of this soil will occur once a year;. Mine 4.2 acres in phase 3 as quickly as possible;
' Keep the concrete operation and wash plant in the existing mined area since this area isnot visible from surrounding properties; and,
' Keep the mining operations below the visible sight line of the homes to the north byutilizing the depth of the deposit and mine ,"qr"n"ing.

The Visual lmpact Report also identifies three visual sensitive areas: 1) Area 1-Highway 82;
2) Area 2-The Roaring Fork River Valley; and, 3) Area 3-Homes North of the Pit. The
analysis states that impacts to Areas 1 and 2 are minimal due to the topographic rise and
vegetated slopes which shields site operations the full length of the existing site and proposed
expansion, Area 3, views of the site is the most prevalent from property owners to the north.
Visual impact is minimized by mining and reclaiming concurrently, mining techniques as
stated above, and keeping equipment at the bottom of the pit.
ULUR 7-840(H) states "Reclamation shall be done to create an aesthetically pleasing site or
reclaimed area that will blend with or improve upon the surrounding areas." The plan
proposed incorporates slope undulation to meet this section of the code.

Compatibility with Surrounding Land lJses
Staff Response: The site is located in an area of residential, irrigated pasture, gravel mining,
commercial uses, and rural residential uses. The property is hidden from view on the south by
a 90 foot high ridge that runs the length of the property along the southern boundary
effectively screening mining operations from SH 82. The proposed mining expansion area will
impact surrounding property to varying degrees. Mining activities do generate a certain
amount of dust, noise, and vibration.
The Blue Pit site has been in operation since'1981 and has obtained all required mining, air
emission, and access permits. Each permit, including the approved Special Use Permit
issued by Garfield County, have specific requirements to reduce or mitigate nuisance impacts
to surrounding property. The original SUP conditions remain in force and are included as
recommended conditions of approval to reduce and mitigate impacts to surrounding property
owners.
Other mining operations in the area are the Powers and Cerise gravel pits. The existing Blue
Pit operation is approximately 0.9 miles from the eastward edge of the Powers Pit, 0.5 miles
from the Cerise Mine, and the Blue Pit's Phases 3 and 4 are adjacent to the eastern property
line of the Cerise Pit.
No additional storage, crushing, or batch plan operations are proposed for the expansion
area. A new maintenance and shop buildings are shown in the bottom of the pit of the
Phasing Maps but no details of these buildings are given as part of this application. All
equipment storage areas are more than 300 feet from existing residential dwellings. All
loading and unloading of vehicles are conducted on private property and not on any public
right-of-way. There is no storage area for uses not associated with natural resources greater
than ten (10) acres in size. All site operations must comply with the requirements of the
ULUR for lighting, signage, and storage.
Mining of aggregate occurs where the resource exists. This is evident by the location of the
Powers, Cerise and Blue pits along SH 82. ln order to create non-mitigatable cumulative
impacts to roads, air, and water quality, etc. the Applicant proposes the following:
F.

. Not to increase in traffic generated from the site;. Truck traffic to continue to use existing access point onto sH g2;o Maintain 1,300 buffer between the Cerise Pit to provide a separation between the pits;' lmplement mining/reclamation technique to reduce fugitive dust and visual impact; and,' Continue to adhere to the air quality permits and fugitive dust control plan
As per Resolution 2011-10, the Blue Pit is to operate Monday through saturday with crushing,digging, and heavy hauling to only occur between 7:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday throughFriday; heavy hauling from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm on Saturday; and crushing and digging from8:00 am to 5:00 pm
-on saturday. No operations are to occur on Sunday except in the case ofan emergency or for standard maintenance purposes. The Applitant indicates in theapplication that,they will be willing to adhere to the ULUR which states ,,Unless otherwisedetermined by th9 F^oard of county commissioners, tii gravel pit hours of operation wilt befrom 7:00 am to 8;00 pm Monday ihrough Saturday with crushing, digging, artd heavy haulingallowed from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm altowiig for administrative and maintenance activities to takeplace until B:00 pm. No operations except emergency maintenance to ensure the integrity of
Tcerating equipm.e!- shall take place on sundiy." -lhe approved conditions set forth inResolution 2O11-10 for hours of operation have been restated in the conditions but the BOCCmay alter this condition regarding hours based on the testimony presented at the publichearing.
The proposed expansion of mining area activity, as conditioned, meets the requirements ofthe ULUR of 2008, as amended.
H. Reclamation / Enforcement
Staff Response: The final site reclamation is shown on the Erosion Control Map 2 -Reclaimed Site and Phase 4 - Fully reclaimed site/Reclamation plan Map. This plandemonstrates final site contours with a flat central basin for both tne expansion ,r", and thecurrent mining area. Slopes are proposed at 3:1 for the expansion area with the original(Phase l) at 2'5:1.as previously approved under the existing permit. The revegetation planincludes a tree buffer along the northern perimeter of the site, a'blend of native grasses, forbs,and shrubs for the rangeland areas, and an irrigated pasture seed mix to return the pit,sbottom to its previous use.

Staff Response: The Erosion control Map 2 - Reclaimed site and phase 4 - Fully Reclaimedsite/Reclamation Plan Map demonstrates final site contours with a flat central basin for boththe expansion area and the current mining area. slopes are proposed at 3:1 for theexpansion area with the original (Phase l) RJclamation Plan al2.s:1 as previously approvedunder the existing permit. The ULUR requires dryland slopes to be 5:1 with at least g5o/o ofthe slopes 5:1 or shallower.
An Applicant may propose an alternate slope plan for a dryland area which modifies thestandards to accommodate special needs when:
? The existing terygiy s/ope rs steep (greater than S:1) or;b. where there is ritile or no avairabre on-site backfiil materiar;
26
c. other specialneeds or uses that may be proposed by the applicant.
The Applicant states the reasoning to vary the slopes from 5:1 to 3:1 is to create useable
irritated field at the pit bottom. lf 5:1 slopes were used it would reduce the available land for
agricultural production. Modification to the listed standards requires a separate finding for
modifying the Dryland Slope standards. A finding has been added for modification oi the
dryland slope standard.

Veqetat ion/D rvl and C rite ri a :
Staff Response: The revegetation of the site is discussed in the Landscape plan in theapplication. The plan proposes to reclaim the mining areas to rangeland anO irrigatedpasture. However, the concrete batch plant will remain at the eastern most end of the pit
bottom after mining is concluded and will continue to produce concrete. This area will not be
revegetated.
Prior to mining any of the expansion area, trees will be planted along the north perimeter of
the site. Thesetreeswill be irrigated and maintained overthe life of the operation.
Areas from the site perimeter to the pit slopes and all slopes of the pit will be revegetated witha Rangeland Seed Mix consisting of grasses, Four Wing Saltbrush, and Rubber Rabbit Brush.This seed mix will be drill seeded into the tilled soil with straw and irrigated by a water truck.The sloped rangeland planting areas will contain the stormwater benches and grouted

RE: Blue Pit MIPA 7189
Dear Molly,
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this permit.
Noxious weeds: Our 2010 staff comments on the Pit Expansion requested that the applicant provide more detail on the
weed management map. The map indicates the presence of weeds by the term "WEEDS" on the map, we'd like to see
specific locations on the map of the county listed noxious weeds: Plumeless thistle, Musk thistle, Houndstongue, and
Common Burdock.
Trees: Staff suggests that the applicant consider some type of wildlife protection around each individual tree.
Reclamation Bonding: Prior to mining of the expanded area, the Applicant shall provide the Garfield County Planning
staff for review the reclamation bond amount required by the Colorado Division of Reclamation and Mining Safety (DRMS)
for the expansion. lf this bond is not sufficient, county staff may request additional funds to be secured with the DRMS.
It may be helpful for the applicant to include a Reclamation Bond table that would estimate the amount of security for each
proiected phase with detail on the reclamation activity associated with each phase.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Garfield County Vegetation Manager

Dear Molly:
This office has performed a review of.the documents provided for the Blue pit Major ImpactReview Application of western slopes Aggregates, Inc. The submittal was found to be thoroughand well organized. The review generatedlf,e 6tto*irg questions, concerns, and comments:
1' The Applicant proposes to relocate the Spring Ditch and the Basin Ditch. A letter isprovided by the Basin Ditch Company thai staies they have no immediate issues with theconcept' The Applicant should address if the Spring oitctr is operated by the same companyand/or provide a similar letter.2 No design was submitted for the redesign of the irrigation ditches, per Section 7-201.G.3' The Applicant mentions that easements will be provided for the realigned ditches but fioplatting or documentation is provided to convey these easements.4' The Applicant does not provide well pump iests nor water quality tests, per Section 4-203.M.
5' The Applicant requests a variance for 3:1 slopes instead of 5:1. Ultimately the variance willneed to be granted by the Bocc but this officl has no problems with the request.6' The Applicant mentions that the existing ISDS is to remain. The Applicant should evaluatethe existing ISDS and evaluate the Jir., upprrtenances, and performance against theanticipated flowrates to verify that it ir riz.a'and designea uaequately to accommodatethem' The Applicant should contact Garfield county Environmental Health to obtain anISDS permit as necessary.
7 ' The Applicant mentions that storm water will pond in the bottom of the excavation andinfiltrate into the soils. No calculations, locations, or sizing of these retention areas wasprovided' The Applicant shoulcl provide clesign on these basea on the anticipated locations,runoff volume,.surface areas, depihs, infirtratiJn rates of the pit soils, etc.8' Depending on how approvals pioceed, it appears that another request for extension of theCDor access permit may be required since^ii is set to expire on Septemb er 29,2012 per theemail from Mr. Roussin.
Feel free to call if you have any questions or comments.

State Geologist
Thank you for the submittal ofthe above referenced proposal. The proposal is for an expansion ofa gravel pit. In
total, aiproximately 146 acres would be included within the permit boundary. The site is adjacent to County Road
I 04 on tire northeast, SH 82 on the south and irrigated pasture on the west. The expansion area is to the west and
northwest of the existing pit.
The site is underlain by both simple and complex geology. Geologic maps show that the eastern part of the site is
underlain by colluviums and sheetwash deposits. Sheetwash deposits are derived from surficial materials that are
transported by sheetwash and deposits in or near stream valleys and hillslopes. These areas may be subject to
further deposition or mud floods. Such events are not likely to greatly impact mine expansion.
The western part of the site contains terrace alluvium deposited by rivers. Wind-blown or loess soil was found
capping terraie deposits on the edge of the site. Loess soil is also prone to excessive settlement when loaded or
wetted.
All of the surficial deposits overlie the Eagle Valley Evaporite. This sequence of evaporitic rocks consists of
gypsum, anhydrite, halite, and beds of mudstone, sandstone, shale, limestone, and dolomite. This formation is
.im.only subject to dissolution-related subsidence or collapse. A subsidence trough called the Crystal Trough
traverses the site.
This subsidence trough appears to be related to evaporate dissolution and/or flowage ofbedrock. The dissolution
creates sags in the bedrock that express as depressions in the overlying surficial deposits. Sinkholes, created by
pipingorcollapseofsurficial depositsintobedrockcaverns,arecommonintheEagleValley. Duetocurrentand
past site disturbances, it is difficult to determine if sinkholes formed in the past.
Subsidence or collapse of bedrock near or beneath the site could temporarily impact mining activities or cause slope
stability problems. Ofgreatest concern would be bedrock failures near county roads or drainage structures.
However, these hazards exist, regardless of mine's expansion.
Removal of overburden and ponding of water in the pit could increase risks to any structures built aftermining is
completed. Again, there would be risks regardless of gravel mining. In summary, the site does contain geologic
hazaids that should be considered; however, I believe such hazards will not greatly impact mine expansion.

Access Permit #310112
MP 14.6 Blue Gravel Pit 2010.pdf',310112 L3.pdf
Here is the access permit. The access permit does require the permittee to do up-grades to the access on to SH 82. Long-term, the
access goes away and access to this site will go onto CR 103. CDOT agreed to give the permittee three years to make the
improvement. The permit was signed in September 24,2070. These improvements are based upon a traffic study dated July 27,
2010 from Kimley-Horn and Associates. lf you have any direct, questions, please let me know.

Blue Pit Traffic Study
Garfield County, Colorado
Dear Mr.
Per State of Colorado Department of rransportation (cDor)
requirements, this traffic study presents the results of an auxiliary tum lane
improvement identification for the Blue pit access intersection along sH-
82 in Garfield county, colorado. The intersection is located along SH-g2,
approximately three miles east of the sH-133 intersection that provides
access to Carbondale.
sH-82 is a four-lane divided cDoT maintained highway with a 65 mile
per hour speed limit through the subject intersection *i u., access
category of EX (Expressway). Left turn and right tum deceleration and
acceleration lanes have been constructed for ali tuming movements to and
from the minor street approaches. The southbound Blue pit Access and
northbound stagecoach Lane minor street approaches to sH-g2 operate
with stop control. The existing intersectionconfiguration and control of
the intersection is shown in attached Figure l.
Existing morning and afternoon peak hour of adjacent street tuming
movement traffic volume counts were conducted at the sH-g2 and Blue
Pit Access intersection on Tuesday, April 20,20ro and wednesday, Aprir21,2010. Attached Figure 2 illustrates the existing traffic volume count
(data sheets are also attached). Arthough the gravel pit was not operational
during the afternoon peak hour of adjacent street traffic between 4:00 pm
and 6:00 pm, the morning counts colrected for this reg are uniform and
typical for operating hours. During the summer, longer gravel pit
operation times exist.

Westem Slope Aggregate Inc. has requested a change in location from
Garfield County for their current excavations for the Blue Gravel Pit.
Although the proposal is to change location, the overall pit excavation area
and access is proposed to remain the same. Westem Slope Aggregate has
identified that with the change in excavation location, the existing
operations will be maintained. Therefore, based on the operations
remaining the same for the existing Blue Gravel Pit, the amount of
existing traffic generated by the gravel pit is not anticipated to change in
the future due to the excavation location change. No increase in traffic
volumes are anticipated along CR-104, CR-l03, or SH-82 due to the Blue
gravel pit excavation location change.
Future twenty-year horizon traffic volumes for SH-82 were projected for
2030. To determine a possible growth rate for traffic, CDOT traffic
volume projections were used for the State Highway. According to
information provided on the website for CDOT, SH-82A carried
approximately 17,700 vehicles per day east of SH-133 through this
intersection annualized in2009. The 20-year growth factor along this
stretch of highway was identified as 1.60, which equates to an average
annual growth rate of approximately 2.4 percent. SH-82 traffic
information is provided as attached. The existing traffic volumes were
grown at this annual rate / twenty year growth factor in order to determine
future 2030 total traffic at the study intersection. The future projected 2030
traffic volumes are shown in attached Figure 3.
An auxiliary turn lane improvement identification has been conducted for
the future Z)-year 2030 traffic volumes. The auxiliary turn lane
requirements were calculated based on the State of Colorado State
Highway Access Code (SHAC) for the existing Blue Pit access
intersection along US-6. According to the SHAC for category EX
(Expressway) roadways with a 65 mile per hour speed limit, the following
thresholds apply:
. A left turn deceleration lane and taper is required for any access
with a projected left turn ingress volume greater than 10 vehicles
per hour (vph).
. . A right turn deceleration lane and taper is required for any access
with a projected peak hour ingress right turn volume greater than
10 vehicles per hour (vph).
. A right turn acceleration lane and taper is required for any access
with a projected peak hour egress right tum volume greater than 10
vehicles per hour (vph).

Mr. Daniel Roussin, July 27,2010, Page j
o A Ieft tum acceleration lane may be required for safety and
operational considerations based on the speed limit being 65 miles
per hour.
Based on warrants contained in the Access Code, the EX (Expressway)
designation of SH-82, the 65 mph posted speed limit, and the traffic
volumes when considering Passenger Car Equivalents (PCEs), all possible
auxiliary tum lane thresholds are believed to be met.
These auxiliary tum lanes exist today. For the Blue Pit project, these lanes
were constructed as part of Access Permit 396055 dated March 21,1996.
This Access Permit identified auxiliary turn lane construction with the
following requirements :
e Westbound Right Turn Deceleration Lane of 485 feet including a
270-foot taper (215 feet of full lane width plus 270-foot taper)o Westbound Right Turn Acceleration Lane of 960 feet including a
270-foot taper (690 feet of full lane width plus 270-foot taper)
o Eastbound Left Tum Deceleration Lane of 485 feet with a270-foot
taper
. Eastbound Left Turn Acceleration Lane of 960 feet includinga2T0
foot taper (690 feet of fuIl lane width plus 270-foot taper)
These turn lane lengths were field verified for these lengths. The through
lane redirect taper identified within this original Access Permit was 50 to
1, which identifies that possibly the speed limit through this intersection in
the late 1990s was 50 miles per hour.
Since the auxiliary lane construction in the late 1990s, a new Access Code
has been adopted by CDOT. The current standards and requirements of
CDOT are greater than previous standards. In addition, it is believed that
the speed limit along SH-82 as well as the classification of the roadway
has increased since the existing auxiliary lanes were constructed.
Therefore, the existing auxiliary turn lanes do not meet the current SHAC
standards. Based on previous discussions, CDOT will require that the
auxiliary turn lanes that serve the Blue Pit project traffic be brought to
current standards within a three-year timeframe.
V-Jl xrmrorl-Hnrn
L.rf Zl ano Assocrates. rnc.
Mr. Daniel Roussin, July 27, 2010, Page 4
Therefore, within an identified three-year timeframe, it is recommended
that deceleration and acceleration lanes along SH-82 be reconstructed in
accordance with the current SHAC. At the 65 mile per hour speed, the
deceleration lane length is identified as 800 feet plus a 300 foot tapet (25
to l). Likewise, the acceleration lane requirement at 65 miles per hour for
EX category roadways is 1,380 feet plus a 300 foot taper (25 to 1).
Therefore, the following improvements would be required:
o Westbound Right Turn Deceleration Lane of 800 feet plus a 300-
foot taper
o Westbound Right Turn Acceleration Lane of 1,380 feet plus a 300-
foot taper
o Eastbound Left Turn Deceleration Lane of 830 feet (including 30
feet ofstorage) plus a 300-foot taper
o Eastbound Left Tum Acceleration Lane of 1,380 feet plus a 300-
foot taper
Therefore, the approximate lengthening required for the westbound right
turn deceleration lane would be 585 feet, for the westbound right tum and
eastbound left turn acceleration lanes would be 690 feet, and for the
eastbound left turn deceleration lane would be 345 feet to meet current
CDOT standards and requirements.
If you have any questions relating to this analysis, or require anything
funher please call me at (303) 228-2300.

Garfield County
Garfield County has no ordinance or regulation addressing noise in general and relies upon Colorado
Revised Statutes, Title 25, Article 12,"Noise Abatement" for determination of compliance. However,
Garfield County has a supplemental Gravel Extraction Regulation and Section 5.17.03 titled
"NoiseA/ibration" addresses noise and vibration. This Garfield County Regulation resolves conflicts that
have occurred previously into the interpretation of CRS 25-12 section 103 as to whether the noise limits
are determined by the zoning of the noise emitter property or the zoning of the receiver property. The
Garfield County Regulation clearly states in 5.17.03 $ (2) that the noise limits are determined by the
zoning of the receiver property.
The Garfield County Supplemental Gravel Extraction Regulation and the Colorado Noise Law are silent
on another factor which is the setting of the sound level meter used during the measurement of the
noise. Most sound level meters have two settings available when using the A-weighting; the settings are
dB(A)fast and dB(A) slow. The dB(A)fast setting always indicates a dB(A) value that is equalto or
greater than the dB(A) slow setting. The difference can be as great as 10 dB(A) for non-steady noise
sources such as a dozer or front-end loader.
For the stationary equipment such as crushers, vibratory screens and conveyors, there is essentially no
difference between the dB(A) fast and the dB(A) slow because the noise is constant or steady.
However, the dB(A) values used in the analysis section of this report (Section lV) are the maximum,
either measured or provided by the equipment manufacturer. They are not the average decibel value,
which could include minimum noise levels.
Zoning of Adjacent Land
1. North
A residence is located 868 ft. north of the boundary of Mining Areas 3 and 4 just north of the "Y"
intersection of County Road 103. The residence is at an elevation of 6180 ft. and due south at the
pit boundary the elevation is 6158 ft. There are two residences north of Mining Area 4', one is at a
distance of 880 ft. and at an elevation of 6180 ft. The second residence is at a distan ce of 712 ft.
andatanelevation of 6175 ft All threeresidencesarenorthof theirrigationditch/pipe. Thereisa
50 ft. offset to the south from the edge of the permit boundary to the mining excavation.
2. South
Residential property is located to the south and across Hwy 82. The distance to the nearest
residential property from the Expansion Area is about 430 ft" and the distance from the mining limit
boundary is 480 ft. The residential property is lower than the mining limit boundary by about 80 ft.
therefore the line-of-sight between these two locations is broken. This is shown as cross section A-
A' in the drawing titled "Western Slope Aggregates, Blue Pit, Visual Map 2, Cross-section Map.
3. East
Due east of the existing mine and the mine Expansion Area is the Garfield County Waste Disposal
Area. This parcel of land has not fully been reclaimed and in all probability will never be rezoned to
residential. lt could be rezoned to industrial. Additionally there is an enormous topsoil stockpile on
the eastern portion of Mining Area 1 that will remain in place untilthe mine nears its final reclamation
stage.
4. West
The Cerise property to the west has been approved by Garfield County for gravel extraction and processing and
the site is now "lndustrial" zoning. The noise limits at the western property line are now 80 dB(A) daytime ind 75
dB(A) nighttime, CRS 2s-12-103.

ItI. EQUIPMENT INVENTORY AND NOISE EMISSION LEVELS
Table 1 presents a list of the equipment that will be in operatron at the pit during development, mining. and
reclamation. The noise emission tevets foiine equipment listed in Table I is presented as so many dB(A)at
100 ft. This avoids the confusion associated with the use of the sound power level dB. The '100 ft' dB value
can be used to determine the noise level at other distances by use of a simple calculation using logarithms'
However, the calculation does not include the effects of terrain, vegetation, verticalthermal gradients in the
atmosphere and wind and should be used only for initial analysis purposes.

Processing Plant - Noise Emissions
The processing plant works as follows:
The front-end loader (CAT988) will dump the raw rock material into the jaw crusher feed bin The
crushed rock and fines will then feed to vibratory screens located under the jaw crusher.
Rock of the selected size will be washed and go via conveyor to storage piles. Rock that is too large will
be transported via conveyor to the cone crusher where the material is reduced in size. From the cone
crusher, the material goes back to the vibratory screens, where it is separated by size, washed and then
conveyed to storage piles.
The processing plant will initially remain at its present location and then move in a westerly direction but
remain at the same level as the existing pit floor, which is 61 10 ft.
Table 3 presents the stationary and mobile equipment that make up the processing plant and the noise
level of each. At distances greater than 100 ft., the processing plant can be mathematically treated as a
single noise source having the total noise emission of 80 dB(A)at 100 ft. as presented in Table 3.

It should be pointed out that the terrain reductions occur when the receptor is beyond the upper edge ofthe pit and the line-of-sight from the receptor to the processing plant is broken. otherwise, there is noreduction in the noise from the plant at that receptoi location iue to the pit wall. Also, the data presentedin Table 4 are when all of the equipment is in operation including the front end loader. such a situationwould not be continuous because, for example, the front end loJder would be away from the crusher binwhen it was scooping up another load of rock.
E. Mine Site HaulTrucks
Mine site haul trucks are high capacity units capable of hauling up to 30 ton toads. The trucks willtransport material to storage areas near the processing plant ,i,nere the front end loader will pick up thematerial and dump it into the jaw crusher bin. The truc.-ks will also be used to irrnrport over burden tostorage areas. The mine site haultrucks willbe limited in speed to 15 mph or less and willproduce 76dB(A) at '100 ft. and 55 dB(A) at an unobstructed distance of about 1OO0 ft. The only time this conditionwould occur is when the trucks were transporting overburden to storages areas during development ofthe Expansion Area during which time the 80 os-(A; permissibte noise-tevet, CRS 2s-\2-103g(5), wouldoccur at distances of less than 100 ft. During mine production the trucks will initially start out at about 10ft' below grade and the 55 dB(A) distance would be at 700 ft. As mining progr""s"i the trucks will befurther below grade and the distance to the 55 dB(A) will become tess and lels and eventuaily be pulledin to the pit edge.
F. Highway HaulTrucks
Highway haul trucks will be loaded with rock products or concrete and leave the pit via the access roadand onto Highway 82. once the trucks are on Highway 82, they will be required io not exceed thepermissible noise limits of CRS 25-12-106 of 86 os1nl'at 50 ft. at speeds of tess than 35 mph. Customerhaul trucks that exceed the 86 dB(A) may be denied access to the pit untit they have been repaired.
There is a change in Crs-25-12-107 that is effective, July 1, 2010 and is as follows:
(1) Counties or municipalities may adopt resolutions or ordinances prohibiting the operation of motorvehicles within their respective iurisdictions that produce noise in excess of i-he sou'nd tevels in decibels,measured on the "A" scale on a standard sound level meter having characteristics
"sfrOlaf,"O
by theAmerican National Standard-s tnstitute, publication 51.4 - 1971, and measured at a distance of fifty feetfrom the center of the tine of travel and within the speed limits specified in this section.
This change removes the requirement that this section is applicable to of highway vehicles such as thosewithin the Blue Pit Expansion areas. How3lel,.Garfield County can stiil enict noise timits for highwayhaul trucks that are less than those in CRS-25-12, for example; haul trucks on Highwav ez.
G. Reclamation
Topsoil may be taken from the topsoil storage areas to the mined area using the dozer, front end loaderand haul truck. Distribution of the topsoil wiit be done with the front end loaders. Smaller equipmentsuch as a skid steer may be used for ditching and seeding. Most of the time during-rectamation, theequipment will be below grade.

V. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Noise emissions during mine development (construction as defined in CRS 25-12-103 g (5) wiil not
exceed 80 dB(A) at 25 ft. beyond the existing or amended pit boundary.
2. During mine development noise emission levels from the front end loader at the homes to the north and
south will be less than 62 dB(A) when the front end loader is at grade level and at the closest property
line. At all other locations that do not abut to the mining boundary the noise level during developmeni
will be less than 60 dB(A).
3. During mine production in any of the four mining areas, the noise level from mobile equipment occurring
at the homes to the north, northwest and south will be less than 55 dB(A) and intermittenfly lower. ThiJ
condition will only occur during the initial mining operations, as mining progresses and the mobile
equipment goes deeper and deeper, the noise level will decrease.
4. Noise levels from the processing plant will always be less than 46 dB(A) at the homes to the north,
northwest and south. The process plant will always be at an elevation of 61 10 ft (the pit floor), even
when it is moved in an easterly direction.
5. All backup alarms will be of the white noise type and will be adjusted during installation to meet all
regulatory requirements.
6. Customer haul trucks that exceed the noise limits specified in CRS 25-12-107 may be denied access to
the pit untilthey have been maintained and are in compliance.
7. Ground vibration caused by any of the stationary or mobile equipment operating in the mine pit or on the
mine access road will not be perceptible. ln addition, there will be no blasting oi any type in ihe pit or
elsewhere on the mine property.
8. Noise measurements will be taken once the pit expansion area of the pit is in production to verify
compliance with CRS 25-12-103. Measurement results will be detailed in a report certified by a
Professional Acoustical Engineer registered in the state of colorado.

This is a truly speciar county resource, arguabry one ofthe best in the state of colorado. This ii a resource
that is not located in an environmentafly sensitive
area such as on Roaring Fork River or a riparian
corridoL an area that is not heaviry popurated yet
close enough to our transportation system to make itcommercially viable. This resource is out of sight to amajority of the general public and tourists that traver
through our county. This is a resource that is finite
and will only become more difficurt for future
generations of our county and region to acquire.

RE: Major lmpact Review for a Gravel Mine (Extraction) MIPA 7189
Dear Sean,
I am writing this letter regarding the The Dolores (Dee) B. Blue Revocable Trust and Dee Blue
application for Major lmpact Review for the "Extraction" of gravel. At this time the application
does not include all required information per Garfield County Regulations. The application is
therefore deemed technically incomplete and the Planning Department will not process this
application any further until the following information, listed below, has been provided to the
satisfaction of this office, Please address the following items and submit three copies of the. modified information to this office so that we may continue the review of this application. I would
like to schedule a meeting to review and discuss the items listed below and answer any
questions you may have.
L'< r-v t . I Generat Submittal Requirements
L Authority/Ownership: Please provide information regarding Authorizations or a Deed of
ownership and a letter of authorization allowing Western Slope Aggregate to act on behalf of the
property owner(s) or a copy of the Lease Agreement between Western Slope and Dee Blue as
a demonstration of authority.

Gadield County
Lu-tLu1 Mineral Ownership: The application does not clearly designate which of the individuals listed in
\ Exhibit G are the mineral owners. Please clarify.
Legal Access: The CDOT Permit allows access directly onto State Highway 82 and is still valid,
provided there is no change in the use of the access. Two letters in the application indicate
therewill benochangeinuse: 'l)April 6,2010LetterfromP.E.CurtisRowe; and,2)April21,
2010 Letter from Sean Mello. A third letter from Greg Lewicki dated April 7, 2010, also states
that there will be no change in use, but this analysis is based on the prior phasing plan which is
not included in this current proposal. This letter needs to be updated to reflect the current
proposal.
(i''t-Lu1 LegalWater: Please provide documentation demonstrating that the Applicant has the authority
\ to relocate the Basin Ditch. Depending on what this agreement states the County may also
need to see the Decree entered in Case No. 87CW364 regarding the Basin Ditch.
