SUBJECT: Application for a Department of the Army permit under authority of Section
404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) and for water quality certification under Section 401 of
the CWA to discharge dredged and fill material in wetlands adjacent to Maryland Creek, as
shown in the attached drawings.
APPLICANT: L. G. Everist, Incorporated
9065 Quince Street
Henderson, CO 80640-
LOCATION: Maryland Creek, immediately west of State Highway 9, approximately 2
miles north of Silverthorne, Summit County, Colorado, Sections 15 and 22, Township 4
North, Range 78 West.
PURPOSE: To construct an operations site for the removal, stockpiling and processing of
aggregate reserves for the sale of aggregate products in the Summit County azea.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant would discharge approximately 11,000 cubic
yards of clean dirt and gravel in 3.31 acres of wetlands for the construction of the
operations site. The total mining project would occur on approximately 216 acres. The
applicant's entire property consists of approximately 1,054 acres, known as the Maryland
Creek Ranch, and was purchased in 1995. The applicant has a conditional use permit from
Summit County and a mine permit from the Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology.
The proposed project includes facilities for aggregate extraction and processing, and asphalt
and concrete plants. Construction of the operation site would begin in the fall of 1996 and
continue through the summer of 1997. Aggregate processing, including asphalt and concrete
production, is scheduled to begin in the summer of 1998.
The applicant has an existing facility across State Highway 9 from the proposed site. The
existing facility has been in operation for the past 17 years but will run out of aggregate
reserves by the end of 1997. The applicant's lease with the landowner also will expire on
December 31, 1997.
The applicant is the major supplier of aggregate products, and the only entity that provides
the full range of aggregate products (gravel, asphalt, concrete, wintertime sand, gabions,
leach field material, etc.) in the Summit County area.
