R.C.R.P.C. MINUTES DECEMBER 18, 1997 the gravel mined at the Bfitco pit went with third party contractors. The truck traffic table in the fact packet is based on 10 yard trucks. Routt County trucks haul 20 yards which would reduce _ -- the number shown in the table by half. Commissioner Garren asked about the steep grade in a portion of the interior haul road. CD Johnson has scaled the grade and indicated that he can live with it. In response to a question from Commissioner Garren, Pat Tellier stated that a pump test done in 1989 on the Anderson well showed a production of 8 gallons per minute. The well was drilled in 1977. Concerning access to the soil stockpile area, Mr. Crofts stated that this depends on the direction of mining, however, access will always be around the pit. He said as reclamation proceeds, the soil will not be stockpiled but rather put directly onto the reclaimed area. In response to a question from Commissioner Nichols, Mr. Crofts stated that the estimated worst case truck traffic trips is all inclusive at 186 loads per year. Mr. NichoL~asked about the status of the sludge truck haul permit.-Ms Fox stated that the City has not submitted an application yflt. She said she informed GilbeR.Anderson, Wastewater Plant Manager, that no more sludge can be removed by truck until the permit application is received. Mr. Crofts spoke about the wetlands, the Mine Land Reclamation Board Permit, and explained where reclaimed wetland areas will be located. He said the proposed plan is acceptable to Libby Miller, Division of Wildlife local district manager. In response to a question from Commissioner Wolf, Mr. Crofts stated that the Tellier pit is a direct replacement pit for the closed Brilco pit. Commissioner Wolf asked about the noise monitoring plan betore and after pit start up. Mr. Crofts stated that although site specific noise studies have not been done, he believes there is ample scientific data available to Indicate ambient noise levels. Commissioner Wolf said it may be informative to measure the noise levels at the Anderson house currently and after the pit is operational. Ms Hoj stated that mining operations are subject to Section 8.4.1 of the Industrial Standards. If noise is an issue, the regulations allow Planning Commission and/or the Board of County Commissioners to require noise level monitoring. Mr. Crofts stated that OSHA has strict noise requirements. The Brilco pit does not have a crusher and has not run one in the last 5 years. Mr. Crofts explained the calculations used in determining the probable noise increase caused by the crusher. Public Comment: Diane Anderson, adjacent property owner to the proposed gravel pit area, slated she is concerned about truck traffic, safety on the road, narrowness of the road, the road shoulder, and the need for octet/decel lanes at U.S. Highway 40. Ms Anderson stated that the gravel pit is not compatible with adjacent neighborhood properties and it will adversely affect the public safety health, safety and welfare and should be denied. '
