<br />FXHT$T - A (.ONTT TEDI <br />(Revised 01/06/95) <br />The existing site can be divided into the following three basic <br />areas: <br />1. The south 250±~ (5± acre) portion of the permit area abutting <br />88th Avenue south of the Wyco Pipeline and west of an existing <br />home on the property to the east. This is the only portion of <br />the property abutting 88th Avenue. It is utilized as <br />pastureland. Soils in this area are Loamy Alluvial Land, <br />moderately wet (Lw). The conveyor from the mining operation <br />to the south traverses along the west boundary of this area. <br />This portion of the property is designated as Area 1 on the <br />MINING PLAN (EXHIBIT C-2) AND RECLAMATION PLAN (EXHIBIT F) <br />MAPS. <br />The structures within 200' of this portion of the proposed <br />mining area that are not under the ownership or control of the <br />applicant are: (1) the Wyco Pipeline; (2) two homes and other <br />miscellaneous structures including several power poles on two <br />parcels to the east of this proposed mining area; and (3) 88th <br />Avenue with approximately 24' of paved road, underground <br />utilities, and several power poles within the 88th Avenue <br />right-of-way. <br />An agreement was reached with Wyco on setback, conditions of <br />mining, etc., from their pipeline. A copy of this agreement <br />is contained in Appendix I. On the other structures, the <br />required setbacks and the final sloping insure the stability <br />of these structures. An opinion by a registered engineer to <br />this effect is also contained in Appendix I. An additional <br />opinion that the installation of the slurry wall should have <br />no affect on these structures by the same registered engineer <br />has also been added with this revision to Appendix I. <br />2. The second and largest portion of the permit area is 141± <br />acres from the Wyco Pipeline to the South Platte River on the <br />north and west, and the Bull Seep Ditch and adjacent property <br />on the east. This area is utilized for irrigated and non- <br />irrigated cropland, pastureland, and other non-farmed or <br />pastured area along the South Platte River. There are also <br />several tenant homes and on-site power poles in this area, <br />which will be removed with mining. The conveyor from the <br />mining operation to the south traverses across the western <br />portion of the this part of the proposed permit area roughly <br />parallel to the South Platte River until it crosses the River <br />to connect to the plant to the north when the river turns <br />east-west. Soils in this area are Loamy Alluvial Land, <br />gravelly substratum (Lv), Loamy Alluvial Land, moderately wet <br />(Lw), Sandy Alluvial Land (Sm), and Wet Alluvial Land (Wt). <br />
