Loukonen operates a gravel pit in Boulder County, Sec. 6. T3N. R70W, 6th P.M., pursuant to 110 permit no. ht-81-277. Loukonen is currently in the process of converting its 110 permit to a 112 permit to expand reclamation to cover a larger area. 2. In November of 1998, a modem survey of the LarimerBoulder County line adjoining the Helsinki Quarry site revealed that the site extended over the line into Larimer County. Previously, it was thought, based on property line surveys from the 1800's, that the site was completely within Boulder County. 3. Loukonen appeared before [he Board to request that the 0.7 acres of the site in Larimer County be exempted from the current 1 12 conversion application being considered by the Division. Loukonen wishes not to undergo project review in two different counties, and also states that the area in Larimer County will be reclaimed and returned to beneficial post-mining land use. ORDER Based on the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, the Board hereby GRANTS Loukonen's request for an exemption of the 0.7 acres in Larimer County from the current 112 conversion application process on the condition that Loukonen reclaims the affected areas of the site to the satisfaction of the Division.
