F;C S,,ntt - Ftfle 'G'ravel P 1, #1 IV�AV 2(1Li Section 4.203.E of the LUDC outlines the Landscaping Plan requirements. This section of the LUDC also mentions that industrial uses are exempt from landscaping standards. The Project constitutes an industrial use; therefore, a reclamation and revegetation plan has been developed for the site in lieu of landscaping. Please refer to Section 2.12.7 Revegetation/Reclamation regarding post-mining reclamation plans, and to Figure 6 for schematic details. 2.5 Impact Analysis Section 4-203.G of the LUDC outlines the Impact Analysis requirements. This can be found in Appendix G. 2.6 Development Agreement/ Improvements Section 4-203.J and 4-203.K of the LUDC outline the Development Agreement / Improvements Agreement requirements. Scott believes there are no vesting issues and identified improvements to the North Frontage Road have been permitting and will commence upon approval of this permit application. 2.7 Basic Traffic Study Section 4-2031 of the LUDC outlines the Traffic Study— Basic Traffic Study requirements. A copy of the CDOT-approved Traffic Impact Study is included Appendix B. The 1-70 N Frontage Road (also known as CR 346)will be used to access the site(Figure 1). The County Road and Bridge staff confirmed that any increased traffic along this road is to be addressed using the CDOT process. CDOT has approved the traffic impacts of this project as part of their review and issuance of an Access Permit for the Project. 2.8 Water Supply/ Distribution Plan Scott is requesting a waiver from this standard. The Garfield County Public Health Department, Mr. Edward R. "Ted" White, (in a letter dated August 27, 2020, to Mr. Patrick Waller) communicated the following specific to the Potable Water waiver(see letter in Appendix D): "The location of the proposed project does not facilitate water service from either the Town of Silt or the City of Rifle.Additionally,the nature of development and dewatering of the gravel pit does not facilitate the drilling of a well for potable water use. The applicant proposes to purchase water for on-site use from a bulk water seller and haul to the site for storage and use. We believe that this proposed variance is acceptable, provided that adequate hand washing facilities, in addition to the mentioned water bottle filling are provided to employees during the proposed 12-hour days of operation. We would recommend that annual testing of the water in the storage facility on-site occur to ensure that water quality is maintained throughout the project. Additionally, we would recommend maintaining invoices from the bulk water purchases on-site in case an employee develops a water-borne illness, to allow for tracking of the potential water source. Garfield County Public Health supports this variance request from the Water Supply and Distribution standard, provided that hand washing stations are provided, and water quality is tracked." 2-2
