STOATER MANAGEMENT PLAN <br />PROJECT: Wellington Downs Pit <br />LOCATION: SW I/4 of Section 3, Township 6 North, Range 68 West, of the 6th <br />P.M., Larimer County, Colorado <br />RECEIVING WATERS: Mallard Creek to Cache La Poudre River <br />CONTACT PERSON: David Simpson <br />Vice President <br />Connell Resources <br />4305 East Harmony Road <br />Fort Collins, Colorado 80525 <br />(970) 223-3151 <br />I.0 Site Description <br />This site is the future location of an aggregate extraction operation. I-25 is located to the east of <br />the property, with Larimer County Roads #7 and #36 bordering the property on the west and <br />south, respectively. Drainage at the site is generally from northwest to southeast. There is an <br />existing stockpond in the northern portion of the site, and irrigation ditches on both the east and <br />west sides. This property consists of 109.5 acres of which approximately 93 acres will be <br />disturbed by the mining operation. <br />The site is located within the Cache La Poudre River 100-year floodplain. The floodplain <br />boundaries are shown on the included site map. This information was taken from the November <br />17, 1993 FEMA Panel # 080101 208. A portion of the Cache La Poudre River floodway also <br />passes through the site. This is due to the undersizing of the I-25 bridge passing over the river <br />north of Harmony road. <br />2.0 Description of Operation <br />This operation will be an aggregate extraction operation using dry mining techniques requiring <br />dewatering of the site. Aggregate extraction will occur from the south towards the north, with <br />phases proceeding from the west to the east. This operation will produce approximately 200,000 <br />to 250,000 tons of materials per year. <br />Crushing and screening equipment will be brought on-site to create and size aggregate for road <br />base materials and asphalt materials. Aggregate washing facilities with wash ponds will also be <br />located on site. An asphalt batch plant will be brought on site in the future. <br />An office trailer and a truck scale will be set up neaz the access point of the site. A haul road will <br />be constructed in the southern portion of the site to access the scale, office, final product <br />stockpiles and asphalt batch plant. <br />
