INTRODUCTION <br /> The proposed Marcovich Mining Resource is located just west of U.S. Highway 85 and <br /> southwest of the city limits of Fort Lupton in Weld County, CO. The property is bound by the <br /> South Platte River to the west. Asphalt Specialties Co., Inc. (Asphalt Specialties) is both the <br /> permittee and operator of the proposed aggregate mining operation. The site contains a group <br /> of agricultural fields, a residence, stock watering ponds, and agriculture related buildings. Mining <br /> access to the site will be via an easement across the agricultural parcel to the south and into the <br /> Asphalt Specialties Chavers Mining Resource (M-2015-030). <br /> Asphalt Specialties is proposing that the site be converted to a gravel pit to feed raw materials <br /> to their processing and sales point at the Chavers Mining Resource. The permit area of this <br /> operation will be 57.28 acres. The affected area will be 44.3 acres. Reclamation will convert the <br /> site to water storage ponds surrounded by rangeland. A portion of the ponds may be refilled <br /> based on market conditions for inert fill disposal. <br /> The proposed operation at the Marcovich Mining Resource will consist of mining sand and <br /> gravel, then transporting material to the Chavers Mining Resource. Processing of the extracted <br /> materials at the Chavers Mining Resource will include crushing, screening, washing, and the <br /> use of concrete and asphalt plants. <br /> Marcovich Gravel Pit <br /> May 2024 i-I 0 Lewicki 8i Associates <br />
