Army Engineer District, Omaha, Nebraska is evaluating a <br />Department of the Army permit application from 83rd Joint Venture, P.O. Box 3178, Greeley, <br />Colorado 80633. Permits are issued under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act which regulates <br />the discharge of dredged or fill material in the nation's waters. <br />The applicant is requesting authorization to place fill material in wetlands located on the <br />floodplain about 1,000 to 3,000 feet southeast of the Cache La Poudre River. This is in <br />conjunction with a sand and gravel mining project. The project is located west of the intersection <br />of F Street and 35th Avenue in the City of Greeley in Section 35, Township 6 North, Range 66 <br />West, Weld County, Colorado. The location and project details are shown on the attached <br />drawings. <br />The purpose of the project is to mine sand and gravel to be used for commercial asphalt <br />paving. <br />The applicant proposes to mine sand and gravel during the next 15-20 years from 110- <br />115 acres of the 124 acre project site. Mining will occur in eight phases, lasting about 2 years <br />each, and wil! progress from east to west. Reclamation will be concurrent with the mining in <br />order to minimize the amount of disturbed area at any given time. The active pit will be <br />dewatered during mining. Evaporation will occur from the exposed water surfaces of the <br />dewatering trench and the settling ponds. Water from the Boyd Freeman Ditch, which will be <br />relocated from the northeast corner of the project to the perimeter, will be used for augmentation. <br />There are 14.13 acres of wetlands on the project site - 13.17 acres will be excavated and 0.96 <br />acres will be filled with 10,644 cubic yards of sand, gravel, and cobbles. Upon completion of <br />mining, 2 open water impoundments will be created and the area to the south will be developed <br />into residential tots <br />
