Due to the location near the confluence, the gravel deposits <br />are much deeper with bedrock estimated at 60-80 feet. Prior to the purchase of this property, there are different <br />and land uses that should be considered. <br />The intent of this letter is to provide a brief understanding of the various end land use alternatives. No <br />evaluation was performed for this site specifically, but the estimates given are based on past experiences and <br />knowledge of the area. The estimates are merely' provided to help understand the potential values and costs <br />associated with each alternative, but are limited by the fact that a detailed evaluation has not been completed for <br />this particular site. <br />There are three end land uses that can be considered with a gravel pit: <br />Alternative A -- The gravel pit will be backfilled. This end land use alternative requires no augmentation of <br />evaporative losses. <br />Alternative B — The gravel pit will be left unlined. This end land use alternative requires augmentation of <br />evaporative losses. <br />Alternative C — The gravel pit will be developed into Iined storage. This end land use alternative requires <br />creating water storage by lining the gravel pit to segregate the lake from the surrounding groundwater system. <br />Alternative A - BackHU <br />This is a potential and land use to eliminate any augmentation responsibility. Because the gravel deposits are so <br />deep, howcvcr, thorc most likely is not enough overburden to backfill the entire pit. <br />11990 Groat Street, Suite 304 • bcuver, Colorado 80233 & (303} 452 -6611 • (Fax) 452 -2759 <br />
