INTRODUCTION <br /> The proposed Ewing Gravel Pit is located just east U.S. Highway 85 and directly north of the <br /> city limits of Fort Lupton in Weld County, CO. The property is bound by the South Platte river to <br /> west. BURNCO Colorado, LLC is both the permittee and operator of the proposed aggregate <br /> mining operation. The site is currently a group of agricultural fields with a few oil producing well <br /> areas, residences, and agriculture related building dispersed throughout the property. The site <br /> contains two terraces divided by the Platteville ditch: the lower terrace to the west near the <br /> South Platte River, and the upper terrace to the east near the highway. Access to the site will be <br /> via the existing connection to US-85 in the northeast corner of the site. <br /> BURNCO is proposing that the site be converted to a gravel pit to produce aggregate products <br /> for the use in construction materials. The permit and affected area of this operation will be 156.7 <br /> acres. Approximately 116.0 acres of new disturbance will be created for mining. Mining will <br /> occur on both terraces across three pods. Reclamation will convert the site to water storage <br /> ponds surrounded by rangeland, which will serve as open space and public recreation for Fort <br /> Lupton. <br /> The proposed operation at the Ewing Gravel Pit will consist of mining and processing sand and <br /> gravel for the production of construction materials. Processing of the extracted materials will <br /> include crushing, screening, washing, and the use of concrete and asphalt plants. <br /> Ewing Gravel Pit <br /> August 2023 �-� Lewicki&Associates <br />
