`'T " Tr OF COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION II I I II I II I II IIII III ass OT P.O. Box 850 Greeley, Colorado 80632-0850 ~ (970)35&1232 Connell Resources Wellington Downs Pit W. of I-25/S. of SH 68 July 31, 1995 Mr. Patric N. Sorenson R~{iFIVC~ Tuttle Applegate, Inc. AU6 11990 Grant Street, Suite 410 Denver, Colorado 80233 Dear Pat: Your letter of July 21, 1995, regarding the Connell Resources- Wellington Downs Pit has been reviewed with respect to potential impacts related to Interstate 25. As noted in your letter, our Region 4 Development/Access Coordinator, Teresa Jones, has also been contacted regarding traffic issues related to State Highway 68. She will respond to you and Larimer County by separate letter. We appreciate your concern about the location of the proposed pit adjacent to I-25. At this time, we do not have any identified additional right of way width for the interstate in this area. Such long-range needs are difficult to identify along an interstate corridor without a comprehensive study. There is a project for reconstruction of the S.H. 68 Interchange in late 1997, but any required right of way for this work will not impact your pit area. In view of the above, it does not appear that this pit will conflict with any of our immediate or future plans along I-25. It is not in our authority to grant "approval" of this pit location, as requested in your letter. We hope the lack of conflict with any anticipated improvements will be sufficient for your needs. Please contact Teresa at (970) 350-2163 if you have any further concerns on this matter. Very truly yours, <t ~7 Dougl D. Rames Region Transportation Director cc: Ms. Richael Michels, Larimer Co.
