r There are lots of gravel pits that are in flood plains, and yes indeed we are concerned about adjacent landowners. GARY SLOVAC: The flood plain, inaudible, river is two feet lower than my side. I don't think I am in a possible flood zone because the other side of the river is two feet lower than ours. The St. Vrain has never had a reputation of flooding there. Inaudible, several voices. JOHN WARD: Just a moment, lets conduct this thing in an orderly way. DAVE SHELTON: If you would like a statement on that fine, we've got the flood plain study from the Corps of Engineers, but so what, ... BRAD JANES: The significant thing in my mind, to my knowledge, all of the environmental concerns from both parties have been worked out to an assessible solution. That was the reason for getting this thing kicking into operation, get the bond thing done, to get it out of the way, and on their way and to resolve the situation. I felt that we had worked out a situation that did resolve it, in the form of buffer strips proposed. JOkQI WARD: That may be true, I think, speaking for myself, I'm not sure that it hasn't all been resolved. I'm feeling very uncomforable, with what we have heard here today, and I think this suggestion, lets find out what the County can do about their lease, as it might bear upon their abilities by the November 19th meeting, otherwise, if that can't be accomodated. We will gather up four bodies and have a special meeting on this thing and try to take it so you can operate it, if this is a good mine, capable of operation. WAYNE SMITH: I guess I don't understand, are you worried about what type of seed we are going to use for reseeding2 DAVE SHELTON: That is one. DICK WARD: One of several things. It in itself if fairly minor but it is a requirement for a plan, etc. So what we are really asking you, I think, as I understand it, before you is a set of two possibilities. One is if the someone would recommend approval or denial of this, the board would vote. I guess my thought is that there is at least a fair chance that it would be denied today. The other possibility is for you to say I wish for it to be continued with the proposition that a special meeting be called of the Board prior to November 19th if you cannot work out an extension on your lease from the 15th to the 19th. WAYNE SMITH: That isn't really the problem, extending the lease, it is a matter of the option to purchasing. Anew landowner with whom we have no, well, I think the thing would be gone. I think it is clear to Weld County that the Board
