Re: Siegrist Construction Company: Application
for Special Use Permit.
Dear Greg:
On behalf of the St. Vrain and Left Hand Water Conservancy
District, I wish to notify you of our concerns regarding the
Siegrist Construction Company Gravel Mining and Reclamation Plan.
1. The applicant must supply augmentation water for
the evaporative losses which will occur as a result
of the proposed ponds. The applicant stated that
Siegrist Construction Company owns six shares of
Hayseed Ditch stock and one share of the Rural Ditch
stock, however; no mention was made of an augmentation
plan. It appears that the applicant's water rights
are insufficient for augmentation since testimony in
a recent water court case casts doubt on the validity of
the Hayseed Decree. _
2. The draw-down during dewatering could adversely affect
the Last Chance Ditch. The District requests that Weld
. County contact the Last Chance Ditch Company for their
input.
3. The applicant states on page 2 of his plans, note #7,
that "excess overburden material is to be spread
uniformly along both sides of St. Vrain Creek, in pond
access areas, and along north side of excavated areas
as indicated on Reclamation Plan." The proposed change
in the flood plain could affect land owners downstream
from the mining operation.
4. The proposed dewatering could adversely affect wells in
the area.
5. All historical drainage ways must be maintained.
The St. Vrain ~ Left Hand Water Conservancy District requests
that the applicant enter into a contract with the District to insure
that all of the above items will be rectified prior to issuance of
a permit.
