Mr. Gary Alle <br />October 23, 2001 <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />Inc <br />scarce. Both the State of Colorado and Weld County recognize this fact and suppor~g~ <br />gravel extraction. The Weld County Comprehensive Plan states, "Weld County .1 <br />recognizes that mineral resource extraction is an essential industry. The availability and <br />cost of materials such as sand and gravel has an economic affect on the general <br />construction and highway construction industry" (March 1999, page 6-5). The Plan <br />further states, "Access to future mineral resource development should be considered in <br />all land-use decisions in accordance with Colorado State Law. No Weld County <br />governmental authority ...shall... permit the use of any area known to contain a <br />commercial mineral deposit in a manner which would interfere with the present or future <br />extraction of such deposit by an extractor"(page 6-5). <br />We believe that it can be a benefit that Aggregate Industries is permitting this resource as <br />one operation, rather than having several smaller operations in this area. This is <br />providing more opportunities for reclaiming site and enhancing the riparian comdor. <br />Please call me when you receive this letter so we can ensure that we have adequately responded <br />to your concerns. If this letter is satisfactory please indicate your acceptance by signing where <br />indicated below. <br />Sincerely, <br />Rock Mountain Consultants, Inc. <br />Danna Ortiz <br />Natural Resources Planner <br />cc: Norm Roche, Aggregate Industries, Inc. <br />Greg Squire, Division of Minerals and Geology <br />Kim Ogle, Weld County Department of Planning Services <br />Acceptance <br />I, the undersigned accept Aggregate Industries - WCR, Lic.
