Botnam <br />~' OFFICES IN <br />Denver and <br />Granby, Colorado <br />February 28, 1977 <br />Mr. Robert Fleming, Planning Director <br />Adams County Planning Department <br />450 South 4th Avenue <br />Brighton, Colorado 80601 <br />Dear Mr. Fleming: <br />The attached report, "Water Planning for Adams County <br />Gravel Permit, has been completed in accordance with our <br />proposal dated January 5, 1977. Material prc anted in <br />this report. can be used to meet the Adams County rezon- <br />ing requirements for drainage and water supply. The <br />report also has been prepared for submittal to the Mined <br />Land Reclamation Bo. ~ for application for a mining per- <br />mit in the subject area. <br />We have found that there will be negligible impact on the <br />water resources of South Platte River near Henderson due <br />to the ..pining operation. By utilizing water rights that <br />historically irrigated the property to replace water con- <br />sumed by grass and schrubs after reclamation, impact of <br />streamflow depletion is minimized Drainage and flooding <br />characteristics during and after mining will not be al- <br />tered significantly. The creation of the two lakes by <br />the mining process may provide additional flood storage <br />which could reduce property damage during future flood <br />events. <br />After you and your staff have had an opportunity to review <br />the report, we are prepared tc ..~eet and discuss any ques- <br />tions you may have. We appreciate the opportunity to work <br />with you and look forward to discussing the investigation <br />with you in the future. <br />Very truly yours, <br />LE A RICE ONSULTING WATER ENGINEERS, INC. <br />Prepared By / <br />Robert E.
