• <br />• The DMG or Weld County should have a comprehensive approach for planning [he gravel mining in <br />this portion of Weld County. The current Varra operation on Hwy 66 combined with this proposed <br />operation and other applications currently under consideration present a significant overall impact on <br />this part of the county. <br />• The applicant will generate considerable wck traffic on roads adjacent to our plan[, which may affect <br />the safety of our employees and contractors. Improvements [o the roads will help mitigate this effect, <br />but we don't know what improvements are being proposed as part of this project. Improvements [o <br />the area where WC Road 23 joins WC Road 32 '/:just east of the bridge over the South Platte should <br />be completed. It's our hope the recent SW Weld Vansporta[ion impact fee will provide additional <br />funding [o expedite the needed improvements. <br />• Hwy 66 should be improved to accommodate this traffic and the increasing traffic associated with the <br />growth in [he area. Our employees frequently take WC Road 34 west [0 1-25 because of their current <br />safety concems for travel ott Hwy 66. These multiple mining operations will exaggerate this problem. <br />• FSV has completed significant environmental studies during our nuclear operating history. Most of <br />[his information is in the public domain and we are prepared [o assist in identifying any potential <br />problems such as wildlife habitat, historical or archaeological issues. <br />We appreciate your willingness to seriously consider these concems and we look forward to our continued <br />involvement in this permitting process. <br />11 ~ lc Fae <br />B ck <br />Director <br />Ft St Vrain Station <br />Xcel Energy <br />
