A pre-operation inspection was conducted of the Green/Croissant Property. Present during <br />the inspection was Steve Fancher of Loveland Ready Mix Concrete, Inc. <br />2. The primary purpose of the inspection was to verify the location of water features <br />and permanent man-made structures as noted on the Mine Plan Map and as discussed in the <br />permit application. The location of gas pipelines and irrigation return flow ditches was <br />noted. Mr. Fancher noted that the gas well and pipeline located between Cells 1 and 2 is <br />abandoned and may be mined through, following written approval from the owner of the <br />structure. Also discussed was the possibility of needing to relocate any irrigation return <br />flow ditches. Those owned by parties other than the applicant will require written approval <br />from the owner prior to relocation. <br />3. The majority of the site is a sub-irrigated meadow with pockets of wetland vegetation. <br />This inspector noted a large presence of rushes and some carex throughout the meadow. The <br />applicant is working through the process of determining whether a U.S. Army Corps of <br />Engineers 409 Permit will be needed, and also whether there will be wetlands enhancement, <br />creation, or mitigation within the permit area. <br />4. The Big Thompson River, immediately east of the Cell 4 area was inspected and <br />photographed. The applicant has proposed to mine within 110 feet within the channel of the <br />Big Thompson River. This inspector discussed with Mr. Fancher the Division's concerns for <br />flood control/mitigation within the context of the Construction Material Rules & Regulations. <br />Various options for resolving the Division's concerns were reviewed with Mr. Fancher. <br />I & E Contact Address <br /> ~ CE <br />NAME Steve Fancher ~ BL <br />OPERATOR Loveland Readv Mix Concrete, Inc. ~ FS <br />STREET P.O.
