occurs purchase and install a dense living fences around % of the South Cell (a mining <br />area of 67.65 acres) perimeter. The living fence at a minimum would stagger 360,15' tall <br />Colorado Blue Spruce Picea pungens and 20,00016 cu. in. native Colorado trees and <br />shrubs acquired from the Colorado State Forest Service Laporte Ave. Fort Collins, <br />Colorado 80523. The shrubs 2,500 Rubber rabbit brush Chrysostamnus nauseous, 2,500 <br />Blue Stem Willow Salix irrorato, 2500 Peach leaf Williow Salix amygdoloides, 2,500 <br />Drummond Willow Solix drummondiona, 2500 Box Elder Acer negundo, 2500 Woods <br />Rose Rosa woodsii 2500 Golden Current Ribes aureum and 2500 Western Sand Cherry <br />Prunus besseyii . The Applicant shall also employee the expertise of the NRCS to quickly <br />establish, maintain' monitor, combat weeds and replace dead vegetation for the life <br />time of the mine. Watering of trees and shrubs shall be accomplished by irrigating with <br />water from the mines dewatering process. <br />C. the applicant as a condition of the permit must develop a ground cover grass stand with <br />a wildlife value meeting specifications that require success before advancing further <br />within the mine limits <br />D. We ask that the Applicant file with the Division and be require as a condition of the <br />permit a verifiable weed control plan that is acceptable to this South Cell adjacent land <br />owners. <br />E. In addition, this land owners property is elevated 14 feet above the proposed mine and <br />is flanked by the mine for a quarter of a mile. To mitigate these weedy condition this <br />land owner requires an earthen berm be construct along this property owner's northern <br />border. The berm would be constructed of pit run topped with 18 inches of top soil. <br />The height of the berm would be 15 feet in elevation on the northwest corner and <br />progress to 35 feet in elevation to the east where an existing driveway exists on the <br />property. East of the drive the berm would be 15 feet tall and progress to the east end <br />at the intersection of Weld County Road 22'/: and Weld County Road 25. The north face <br />of the berm would be terraced and benched at a 2:1 slope while the South facing slope <br />would be 3:1. Seeding with chewing fescue would be necessary and a 90% coverage <br />required. Reseeding shall occur until non erosive slopes area created. We ask that the <br />applicant spade 6"and 8" diameter trees transport and plant 35 trees to be provided by <br />this land owner. The trees shall be planted primarily on the southern facing slope of the <br />berm on a "to -be -determined" spacing. Applicant would also be responsible for any <br />permitting that might be required. <br />Conclusion: The applicants permit should be denied until that time when those items above are <br />incorporated into the Applicant mining permit or the Applicant obtains professional help with <br />developing a meaningful reclamation plan instead of a minimalist plan scheduling quantitative and <br />qualitative performance standards. <br />VII. Night Lighting of the Mine Objection: <br />A. Background: Lighting in the mine is a concern given there has been no lights in the area <br />for 25 years. We ask that the Processing Plants Area plant night lights be contained <br />within a walled installation blocking night lights. <br />B. A walled containment system is required and should be required for approval of the <br />permit. The night lighting is another visual impact that a walled containment system <br />eliminates. Walled containment suppresses the mines processing noise impacts and <br />fugitive dust impacts and causes better emissions control. Typically these walls range in <br />height from 16 to 32 feet and can be installed on all four sides of a Mining Processing <br />Plant Area as support equipment. The height length and layout of the walls are <br />
