to <br /> ' INTRODUCTION <br /> All Rite Paving and Redi-Mix is making application to the Colorado Division of <br /> Mines and Geology to mine, process, and batch aggregate materials from <br /> Mapproximately 275.45 acres of land located in Otero County, Colorado near the <br /> town of La Junta and north of and adjacent to the Arkansas River (North Mining <br /> ' Area). Also, as part of this 275.45 acre permit application, the operator is <br /> 1 requesting to remove sand and gravel fill from an area south of the Arkansas <br /> River that has previously been disturbed for this purpose (South Borrow Pit <br /> Area). These locations are more accurately described in Exhibit A, Legal <br /> Description, and shown on Exhibit B, Index Map. <br /> ' The proposed North Mining Area is currently utilized as farm and pastureland <br /> ' and has been used for that purpose for over 50 years. Property surrounding this <br /> land is also used for farmland, except for one parcel that contains North La <br /> ' Junta's sewage treatment plant and lagoons. Almost all the property north of the <br /> river is located within the designated 100-year flood plain, including the sewage <br /> lagoons. <br /> The proposed South Borrow Pit Area south of the Arkansas River is located <br /> outside and above the 100-year floodplain. The only use of the majority of this <br /> land has been for borrow material by a previous owner. This area has not been <br /> farmed, although a small portion was used to corral livestock at some time in the <br /> past. <br /> 1 � <br />
