The pit Is located appro~dmatelp 15 tulles southeast otlgnacla Colorado and Is permitted to disturb 31.6 amen for the dry extraction at <br />gravel. In 1990 m amendment to the permit was approved to allow the county to wise a 30 toot butter zone between the two pits to bring the level <br />of the ridge between the two pits down sa that the pit Aoore match up at Anal reclamatlon. Thle butter zone Is almost entlrely mined out at this <br />tlme and will need some backAltlng to match up the pit Aoors. <br />Some patches of Canadian thistle were note on site. The operator needs to perterm weed control measures on the affected areas of the operatlon. <br />Rule 3.1.10(6) etatee that weed control shall be employed for all prohibited aabous weed species, and whenever Invasion of a reclaimed area by other <br />weed species serlouely threatens the candnued development et the desired vegetatlen.
