Peters 313 Pit Pre-Mining Engineering Evaluation <br /> The Peters 313 pit area currently has slopes ranging as steep as 5:1 and the area is stable. Weld <br /> County plans to mine the pit so all slopes are mined to a 3:1 slope or less. All slopes will be <br /> reclaimed to a 3:1 slope or less. No high wall mining will occur. The minimum offset from any <br /> structure will be 25 feet. In most areas,the distance from the structure to the edge of the pit <br /> will be much greater than 25 feet. <br /> To ensure that no vehicles or equipment travel onto the OneOk Bakken pipeline that runs <br /> north-south along the far west edge of the permit area, Weld County will construct the access <br /> road entirely outside of the 50-foot pipeline easement (25 feet on each side of the pipe), on the <br /> East side. Additionally, Weld County will install a small berm along the western edge of the <br /> access road to prevent vehicles from wandering into the OneOk Bakken easement. <br /> There are four pipelines operated by Tallgrass and Kinder Morgan which will be crossed by the <br /> access road. The access road will be raised to add cover over all of these pipes. No mining will <br /> occur within 200 feet of the pipelines. <br /> Weld County has included evidence of attempts to contact the owners of structures which are <br /> located within 200 feet of the permit area in the original permit application. Certified mail <br /> receipts for those structures owners which have not returned the agreement were also <br /> included with the original application. Weld County also commits to compensating all <br /> structures owners if damage occurs to their structures as a result of our mining activity. <br />
