<br /> <br />r1 <br />LJ <br />General Overview <br />The Geisert Pit is located in the central part of Weld County next to the Town <br />of Greeley, CO, at 933 N 11th Ave. and '0' Street. Because of a new water line <br />going across the gravel pit area to supply water to the county administrative <br />offices, we need to adjust the size of the lakes on the mining plan; making one <br />lake longer and one smaller. <br />Weld County will make use of this additional gravel area to obtain sand and <br />gravel for use in the immediate quadrant of county roads to eliminate long <br />hauling distances. <br />This procedure establishes an intermittent use of the pit. The mining plan is <br />to haul material to county roadways in the vicinity when the need arises. <br />Operating equipment will consist of a dozer, loader, trucks, and crusher plant. <br />Existing topsoil will be removed from the area to be mined and placed on the <br />previously exposed and finished pit area. All excess topsoil will be <br />stockpiled for the final reclamation process. The mining and processing will <br />then take place. As each block of mining is completed, the pit edges will be <br />finished to a 4:1 slope. <br />• <br />
