JOHN WARD: BRAD JANES: Which never went out, iC came about through meetings. The reason why this staff member wants to see this operation be permitted was to resolve the problem with the lease and the problem with the overall flood hazard to the area, created by the narrow of the existing berms or placing of the berms between the existing excavation and the St. Vrain River. Why don't you go ahead and finish reading those things so it gets on the record, The applicant needs to provide a final contour map of the permit area. We are concerned that the contours are essentially parallel to that of the river so that they do not create a situation which would obstruct flow during high water. That the applicant provide an on-site description of the existing cover of vegetation. This would be provided with their work with the SCS. That the applicant provide pond dividers in such a manner which would provide for the salvage and protection of mature cottonwood trees, since their operation is for creation of wildlife habitat, obviously the salvage of the cottonwood trees would be an asset to the overall operation. This is the advantage of planning ahead and excavation and creating buffers in advance during excavation in that you can salvage mature vegetation (inaudible) and in that way excellerate reclamation to the area. 11) That the applicant acknowledge that the expiration of the mining lease on June 30, 1981, does not necessarily release Weld County responsiblity to reclaim affected land. 12) That the most suitable and durable rip-rap available be provided on the reconstructed buffer along the St. Vrain. That the applicant obtain a well permit from the Division of Water Resources prior to any excavation. I don't know what the thoughts are of the current Board on that particular situation. That the applicant provide a letter indicating any stipulation regarding the County Zoning approval of October 22, 1980, we haven't seen the stipulation that were mentioned. We do have good assurance though that iC was primarily related to access of the utilization of county roads (inaudible) We have an objection letter to the operation filed by Don Corsen, Air. John Slovac's attorney, a hydrology report that was conducted by the adjacent landowner, and Randy Seaholm is also here to explain questions regarding creation of those two buffers that were mentioned, 50 foot wide buffers following the contour on [he East between the two properties and the 100 foot wide buffer between the excavation and the St. Vrain River along that portion of the area that was previously disturbed.
