Mr. Rob Helmick <br />July 20, 1999 <br />Page 9 <br />e) Any weed killers used must be compatible with use near waterways since this <br />site is in a floodplain. For example, Roundup should not be used neaz running <br />water. If noxious weeds become a problem, Connell will contact the <br />Department of Natural Resources or the Extension Office for recommended <br />chemical weed killers. <br />f) In areas where mining is not occurring, existing vegetation will be left on the <br />ground to slow stormwater runoff and prevent erosion. No stormwater <br />prevention structures will be constructed in areas not currently disturbed by <br />mining activities. <br />/1. Land uses t~~ithin 500 feet. The current use of this site is for irrigated crop growth. <br />The land immediately to the east of the site, owned by Terra Resource, is <br />agriculture land. Connell has an active mining operation (Wellington Downs Pit) <br />immediately to the west. Immediately to the south, Lewis Swift [II has used his <br />property for sand and gravel mining, but is currently undergoing reclamation <br />efforts. To the north of the proposed site is additional property owned by this <br />property owner and is used for limited crop production and livestock grazing. <br />12, Existing/proposed access to nearest public road. Connell is proposing to access <br />the site from the I-25 frontage road at the location of an existing access for the <br />current property owner. CDOT has been contacted regarding an access permit for <br />the changed use of the existing access. <br />/3. Details jor roads and parking areas. There will be one access point [o the site <br />off of the 1-25 frontage road. This access will be at the location of the plant site <br />and Connell will construct a gravel roadway 125?? feet in length. The width of <br />[he access will be approximately 24 feet. Connell will design the roadway to <br />drain stormwater and limit erosion and sedimentation. This access will meet all <br />the requirements of CDOT. <br />The parking area for the site will be located by the plant site. It will be a gravel <br />lot. Please see the enlarged site plan of the processing area for additional <br />information. <br />14. Detailed landscaping plan in compliance with the Larimer County Landscape <br />Guidelines. Detailed landscape information is included on Exhibit F, <br />Reclamation Plan. This includes berms, plant lists, seeding information and <br />cross-sections of the pond slopes. All information submitted is in compliance <br />with the Larimer County Landscape Guidelines. The proposed landscaping will <br />compliment the approved plan on the west side of I-25. <br />~: <br />
