INTRODUCTION <br /> Newby Aggregate Recycling is located just north of US Highway 6 approximately 1 mile east of <br /> Gypsum, Colorado. Newby Aggregate Recycling will be located on the site of the currently <br /> permitted Carol Ann Pit. The permittee for this project, as well as the operator, is Carol Ann Pit <br /> LLC. The Carol Ann Pit has been mined since 1997 under Colorado Division of Reclamation, <br /> Mining, and Safety (CDRMS) permit# M1997-026. Mining at the Carol Ann Pit is completed. <br /> The final land use of the Carol Ann Pit as currently permitted is pastureland. The site comprises <br /> 30.0 acres located in a part of Section 4, TSS, R85W of the 6th prime meridian, all of which is <br /> currently permitted for mining under CDRMS permit#M1997-026. The site makes up roughly <br /> half of the property owned by Bob Newby. <br /> This amendment changes the post mine land use of the Carol Ann Pit from pastureland to <br /> industrial/commercial in order to accommodate the planned Newby Aggregate Recycling facility, <br /> a concrete and asphalt recycling operation. <br /> The project area is located on the site of a former gravel pit just below the main grade of US-6, <br /> northwest of the Eagle County Regional Airport and north of US-6. A biomass plant is located to <br /> the west and the Gypsum Ranch Pit is located to the east of the Newby Aggregate Recycling <br /> facility. North of the project area is the Newby residence and farm with the Eagle River north of <br /> the residence. The project will consist of two main areas: the Production Area and the Storage <br /> Area. The Production Area will be on the west side of the site and is where material is delivered <br /> to the site and recycled. Additionally, production of secondary products from the recycled inputs, <br /> such as concrete or hot mix asphalt, will also be conducted in this area. The Storage Area will <br /> be where long-term product storage of material will take place. This area will consist of <br /> stockpiles and a road for customers. Sales will come from both the Production Area and the <br /> Stockpile Area. <br /> The reclamation bond in place for the Carol Ann Pit is based on reclaiming 29 acres. The <br /> majority of the site is already reclaimed, and there are currently five acres of disturbed ground <br /> within the permit area. The proposed construction of Newby Aggregate Recycling will not disturb <br /> any additional ground within the permit area, thus the current condition of five acres of disturbed <br /> ground requiring reclamation is the worse-case reclamation scenario. Because the current bond <br /> is based on reclaiming 29 acres, and the current, worse-case scenario requires reclamation of <br /> only five acres, no increase in the reclamation bond will be required by implementation of this <br /> amendment. <br /> Carol Ann Pit <br /> November 2021 i-1 ®Lewecki&Associates <br />
