ThR T/_~ ~_is located along west <br />Bijou Creek, where sand has deposited. 1'he 4n+ acre area is part <br />of a lar~' _ =e~ropert}• owned by the applicant. The permit <br />• area h s no structure~n it, although there is a barn a 1/l± mile <br />to the west locat_a on the same properti - <br />The material would be e~:ported for use in [oundation bac;.fill <br />pro.iects, ar.d County or State Hightaa~- pro.iects in the area.

Since e~: ort of material off of the <br />g_ p property is involved, <br />County land-use approvals are necessarc as in a NLRB permit. <br />Existing Site Description <br />• The site is located i+_ miles north of Byers, ~± miles north of the <br />U.S. 36 (County linel, and 1/-4~ mile west of the County road i;nown <br />as Calhoun-Byers Mile Road. <br />The site is a fairly level one. except for the draw area created bv- <br />the intermittent flowing of West Bi.iou Creep which traverses the <br />• proposed permit area. The total elevation fall over *_he distance <br />of the site I1/ii+ mile east-west x 1/_+ mile north south) is <br />approximately 15+ feet. The site is located in the draw which has <br />been formed by the Creek and is not easily visible from the County <br />Road. <br />~• The permit area itself can be divided into three basic areas: <br />1. fhe south 100' is where a 30' access road from the County road <br />traverses the permit area and previous excavation has been <br />undertaken. The area mined for sand in the past was prior to <br />permits being required, and for uses on the property recently. <br />• For instance, sand from the excavation area was used as <br />foundation fill for the barn structure on other portions of <br />the property. This access road will remain after e::cavation <br />to proviite access to the western portion of the property where <br />the barn is located. <br />• ". The second basic area of the permit area, is the bare usually <br />dry West Bi.iou Creep channel area approximately 100' wide, <br />which traverses the permit area from south to north. The <br />channel is a dry' creek bed which only runs after upstream <br />storm events. usually in the spring and early summer. There is <br />no topsoil and the surface is predominantly bare sand with <br />• little if any vegetation, except for some volunteer cottonwood <br />trees along the edges. <br />• <br />
