Land Uses <br /> The proposed permit area currently consists of cultivated dryland grasses used for general <br /> agriculture and areas previously disturbed by the property owner. Properties surrounding the <br /> proposed 5J Pit site are primarily rural agricultural with some areas of historic aggregate mining. <br /> Transportation rights-of-way (ROWs) also dominate the area immediately adjacent to the <br /> property with the Interstate 25 (I-25) ROW east of the proposed site and the Burlington Northern <br /> Railroad ROW to the west. <br /> With the exception of Poudre Valley REA power lines and ROWs and a Northern Colorado <br /> Water Association waterline and ROW, the interior of the property does not contain structures, <br /> easements, or ROWs. There are no established oil and gas wells, tank batteries, or other <br /> associated facilities located on the property. Several utility structures and associated easements <br /> and ROWs are located on the edges of the property or immediately adjacent to the proposed <br /> permit boundary including I-25 and associated ROW, LCR 5J and associated ROW, and the <br /> Burlington Northern Railroad and associated ROW (see Exhibit C-1, Existing Conditions Map). <br /> None of the easements, ROWs, or associated structures are expected to be negatively affected by <br /> mining or reclamation operations. <br /> 5J Pit <br /> DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 2 <br />
