The permit allows for disturbance <br />of 9.9 acres for the County's dry extraction of sand and gravel. <br />the county has stripped and stockpiled topsoil and overburden for most of the stage I mining area and part of stage II. Stage I is <br />nearly mined out and the pit floor of stage I is used for stockpiling rock and old asphalt for recycling into new pavement. <br />A drainage ditch has been cut through the Stage I area to help drain the pit when irrigation water from upland fields seep in through <br />the gravel bed. The ditch holds a lot of dead brush that acts as a sediment filter for the site before the water discharges to Seep <br />Ditch on the northern pit boundary. <br />The 25 foot buffer zone for Seep Ditch is being complied with. <br />The site does need additional permit boundary markers installed so the boundary is readily identifiable. <br />The county will need to ensure that all topsoil to be stockpiled for over one season will be in piles with 3:1 or less slopes and that <br />the piles are seeded to protect against erosion and weed infestation. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME John Timbreza <br />OPERATOR Delta Countv <br />STREET 501 Palmer St., Suite 277 <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP Delta, Colorado 81416 <br />cc: Tom Gillis, DMG <br />~ CE <br />~ BL <br />~ FS <br />~ HW <br />~ HMWMD ICH) <br />~ SE <br />~ WOCD (CH) <br />~ OTHER <br />
