The berm on Varre's <br />side of the river is a IM higher than on our side, and if a Rood does occur, the flood will push the water <br />onto the north side of the river due to the building up of the berm on the south side. Tn a Floodway ,there <br />is supposed to be no buildup ofmaterials or structures to disturb the natural Row of water in a event of <br />floods or high wale. We have an Industrial Park already existing north of the river in the floodplain with <br />numerous commercial buildings and plan to continue w build. We ere very ooncarted about flooding on <br />our side due to the floodway violations that Varre Co. Inc. has incurred. <br />We ere asking you to reconsider this permit and take necessary action against Varna Co Inc. to velum the <br />berm to it's original height of 8 fact high from the bottom of the rive bed. <br />Enclosed are pictures of Varna Co Inc. dumping dirt onto the berm and raisiog the elevation of the berm <br />or dike. Please note, writing arl front or back ofpichues explaining different heights of original berm and <br />elevated berm done by Varna Co. Inc. <br />Also enclosed is information from the City Of Greeley an the new studies of the Floodway and Floodplain <br />and their feelings on Varna ever being out of the Floodway. <br />In addition, the new gravel pit well permit that they are requesting crnlcems us in depleting the existing <br />wells an our property.
