Further, on 31 May 2018, Diana Aungst, Weld County Planner and Floodplain Manager; indicated that no FHDP or other floodplain permitting are needed: • The Dakolios Map as approved by the OMLR by Technical Revision in 2013 is included with this correspondence for ease of reference. Also included as part of this Technical Revision is a revised map altering the relocation of the planned vegetative buffer strips (necessary to better protect the reclaimed seep/irrigation ditch traversing Area 3). Beyond that -no other changes are anticipated, with the exception of some clarifications, detailed as follows. • The two reservoirs shown (Areas 2 and 4) are completed and shorelines re- soiled and vegetated. The planned scalehouse and stockpile area surrounding it is outside and above the present day 10- year floodplain. • Area 1 is outside of the present day 100-year floodplain. Weld County is aware and acknowledges that the existing scalehouse and yard that presently occupy this location, supports on-going and continuing recycling activities and will remain in place and active subsequent to planned OMLR release. The remainder of the focus is upon Area 3. • Area 3 outside the buffer strips pertains to: 1. Sub-area A: These are locations for planned agricultural stockpiles and mobile equipment which lie within the approximate 100-year floodplain, consistent with that for common agricultural activities found in the A- Agriculture Zone. 2. Sub-area B: The location of the concrete and asphalt recycling processing equipment and stockpiles - which are also outside and above the approximate 100-year floodplain - are activities consistent with that found in the A- Agriculture Zone and acknowledged as an allowed use under the existing Weld County USR 616; and will remain so subsequent to release of the OMLR permit. 3. Sub-area C: This is a defined area of a 4.0+/- acre buffer strip and vegetative filter to better stabilize and segregate lands from planned activities. The strip has been modified from the previous Technical Revision by changing the location of the buffer from along the southern boundary of the recycling area, to 25 feet either side of the existing buffer strip - where it will provide the greater benefit. Please refer to the revised Reclamation Plan Map included with this revision. • With the completion of grading, soiling, and revegetation of all areas other than the 4.0+/- vegetative buffer of Area 3(c), no other reclamation activity remains. For this reason, the existing $87,200.00 financial warranty may be reduced to the current cost of seeding the 4.0+/- acre buffer strip, or $124.43/acre x 4 Acres Varra Companies, Inc.
