CONDITIONAL USE APPLICATION FOR ROADGATE FARMS, LOT 7 FILING 7 Items 5 & 6: Narrative The site, Roadgate Farms, lot 1, filing 1, is a reclaimed gravel pit (zigan # 1). When Zigan opened pit # 2, he had a great excess of sand and some squeege. The material we intend to remove is, to a very large extent, the material they could not market. The plan of 124th Estates Partners is to remove screen and wash the material, remove it from the site, and line the pit for water storage. The sealing of the pit witl be accomplished with material from the floor of the mined area of the pit. This material is a claystone and wi{I provide and excellent seat. Brian Reck of GROUND ENGINEERING will be doing the evaluation and testing to ensure the lining meets State of Colorado standards We have been approved by the Division of minerals and geology for this project. Below are issues that have been addressed by them followed by the responses to that issue. Issue: We will "Dry" mine the pit and this may impact the local shallow wells that people are using for landscaping and garden irrigation. Response: Local residences were provided with South Adams water taps during the migrations of the polluted alluvial flow from the ROCKY MOUNTAIN ARSENAL. 1. We will pay the water bills for anyone who loses use of a shallow well. 2. We will escrow $ 10,000.00 to repair any well damage that occurs. Any repair necessary viili be completed after the pit has been lined. issue: The Henderson Water Ski Club is concerned about maintaining water levels both during the mining and after lining. Responses --- We-will.pump into.the.lakeas-wadewater-the-pit.as-theyrequest.--The-balance-af-. -- the water will be pumped into the Fulton ditch. (agreement attached) After the lining of the pond, we will determine the level of the lake. If the lake is not ant agreed upon level, we will lower the floor of the shallow area of the Ski Clubs' lake. ( agreement attached). SCOPE OF WORK, WORK HOURS AND RECLAMATION PLAN We plan to remove approximately 500,000 cubic yards of material from the site in 12 to 15 months of operation. The material will be washed and screened on site (no crusher wiA be on site). The "wash-ouf" material will be incorporated into the reclaimed slopes. The slopes will be lined with a 10 to 14 ft. thickness of the clay stone from the floor. The current surface elevation is on average 5040 feet. The claystone elevations currently range from 5001 at the north east corner to 4997 at the south west. We plan to finish the floor to an elevation of 4996. Our proposed work and hauling hour are 7 am to 5 pm Monday through Saturday. We have a
