1.0 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND <br />Lafarge West, Inc. is seeking approval of a sand and gravel mining permit (USR-1455) <br />on the Duckworth property in Weld County, Colorado as shown on the attached Vicinity <br />Map. Gravel material will be moved by field conveyors and in one location the conveyor <br />must cross Idaho Creek. The planned crossing is designed to span the bed and bank of <br />Idaho Creek and avoid wetlands by placing the conveyor support stands on the ground <br />outside of both areas. <br />The conveyor crossing location (and conveyor stand locations) are shown to be within <br />the 100 year floodplain of Idaho Creek/Boulder Creek as shown on the applicable Flood <br />Insurance Rate Map (see attached FEMA FIRM). <br />Banks and Gesso, LLC has been retained by Lafarge West, Inc. to prepare and submit a <br />Flood Hazard Development Permit application for this conveyor crossing. This report is <br />part of the permit application and addresses the requirements of Sections 23-2-480 and <br />23-2-490 of the Weld County Code. <br />
