The applicant <br />has made a diligent effort to conserve productive agricultural land by <br />locating the use adjacent to the St. Vrain corridor while leaving <br />areas south for continued agricultural use. The use will not <br />1 adversely affect agricultural ditches, wells, or senior water rights. <br />The applicant will comply with all conditions of State and local <br />' permit:a thus insuring the protection of the health, safety, and <br />welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and the County. <br />Specific conditions will apply to air quality, water quality, noise, <br />on-site mine safety, and reclamation according to applicable state <br />permits. <br />Noise Erom the processing site equipment at the property line will not <br />' be a problem. The closest processing site is a minimum of 1,500 feet <br />from Weld County Road 20-1/2. This distance will adequately dissipate <br />any noise which could be louder than the noise created by vehicles on <br />the gravel road. The nearest residence is 1,500 feet away. At this <br />' distance all noise will be less than the agricultural noise standards <br />developed by the State Department of Health. <br />Compatibility with surrounding land uses is insured by location and <br />setbacks. To the west, north, and east exist agricultural lands which <br />are not affected by the proposed operation. To the south exists the <br />i ' Distel farm residence, but the 1,500 mining setback safely separates <br />the house from the operation. <br />The mining and processing operations will generally work on one a-10 <br />i ' hour shift, 5-6 days per week. It is expected the operation will <br />employ five workers on-site. <br />' There will be no animals allowed near the mining and processing <br />activities of the proposed use. Vehicular traffic and access routes <br />are discussed in the accompanying "Traffic Patterns" statement. The <br />statement has been provided separately for ease of reference by County <br />Engineering personnel. Domestic sewage facilities will consist of one <br />portolet at the scale house. <br />There will be no permanent structures proposed with this use. A <br />portat~le conveyor, processing plant, and scale house will be erected <br />for ue:e with the site mining. The equipment used is delineated on the <br />' Use by Special Review application and in the attached Exhibit D. <br />1 <br />
