This water treatment plant supplies <br />daily domestic water demands to approximately 60,000 people <br />in the Grand Valley of Mesa County. <br />The District does not object to the quarry proposal but <br />does have some concern over the method(s) of operation. <br />The water treatment plant has substantial sub-surface <br />concrete features and facilities which may be subject to ground <br />transmitted shock waves resulting from dynamite blasting. <br />Two large diameter water mains deliver untreated water to the <br />treatment plant and two large diameter water mains deliver <br />treated water from the plant. Any or all of these water mains <br />may be subjected to heavily loaded truck traffic, resulting <br />from the quarry operation and may, therefore, require additional <br />protection. <br />Please provide the District with any "Operations Plan" <br />that has been or may be submitted. <br />Sincerely, <br />/~~/GG~ <br />Charlie Stockton, Assistant Manager <br />Ute V7ater Conservancy District <br />CES/rlc <br />xc: Rudy Fontanari <br />Mesa County Planning Department <br />Tom Crumpton, Superintendent Treatment b Source/Ute Water <br />
