The City of Colorado Springs has applied to the Planning
Department for a Special Use Permit for gravel mining in an A-1
zone at the Hanna Ranch Utility Complex located south of
Fountain. This proposed mine has been designated Hanna Gravel
Pit.~2.
The proposed mining site is located along the south City limits
of the City of Fountain with a small portion inside the City
limits and the majority of the site located in unincorporated E1
Paso County. The proposed mine boundary was selected to recover
the best gravel deposits on City owned lands on Hanna Ranch. The
land within the City limits of Fountain is outside the
jurisdiction of El Paso County and this is a concern of the El
Paso County Planning Department. The concern is that technical
revisions which may occur in the future to the State Mining
Permit could be made for the area outside the jurisdiction of E1
Paso County.
The City of Colorado Springs has also applied for a mining permit
from the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Division and agrees to
follow the mining plan in the permit application for areas inside
and outside the jurisdiction of E1 Paso County. We consider the
proposed gravel mine as an entire operation and not two parts
divided by the Fountain City Limits. Any changes in the mining
plan as it effects lands within either the City of Fountain or
unincorporated E1 Paso County that would require a technical
revision to the permit will be submitted to El Paso County for
review and approval at the same time they are submitted to the
Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology (previously Mined Land
Reclamation Division). We understand that any changes submitted
may result in a review or rehearing of the E1 Paso County Special
Use approval.
