Based on our phone conversations, it is my understanding you have the following <br />concerns. <br />Visual Appearance <br />Aggregate Industries has agreed to plant a landscape buffer between your home and the mining <br />operation before mining begins. I have attached a mining plan that illustrates the proposed berm <br />for your review. <br />Impact on Irrigation Well and Domestic Wells <br />I spoke with our geologists about the impact of the slurry wall on your wells. They believe that <br />the slurry wall will not have a dramatic impact on your irrigation well because it is within the <br />South Platte alluvium and the groundwater is flowing from your well southeast, towards the <br />Platte. They also believe that the slurry wall should not have an appreciable impact on the <br />domestic wells' available pumping rates. <br />To ensure that the slurry wall does not negatively impact the operation of your wells, Aggregate <br />Industries will install pizometers near the property line to monitor [he groundwater. We would also <br />like your permission [o drill a monitoring well near your irrigation well so that we can measure the <br />drawdown of the water table during pumping. With this knowledge we should be able to anticipate <br />the likelihood of the well being prone to production problems during mining, and can anticipate the <br />need for mitigation. Aggregate Industries will commit to fix any well production problems that arise <br />during mining. <br />Weed Control <br />I have attached the weed control plan that Aggregate Industries submitted to the Division of <br />Minerals and Geology. <br />Fencing <br />Aggregate Industries does not anticipate that the site will be fenced. <br />CIVIL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING PLANNING <br />
