not be damaged by activities occurring at the mining operation." No agreements or analyses has been submitted at this time. Either compensation agreements must be aereed upon with the land and structure owners listed on the Exhibit C map and in Exhibit, a 200' setback must be preserved, or a detailed engineering geotechnical stability analysis must be submitted. It also appears that some of the structures on the Exhibit C Map which are within 200' of the mining limits have not been included on this list (see Attachment 2, List A). Plese verify [he exact distances [o the structures in question. This is in accordance with Rule 6.4.19 of the Construction Materials Rules and Regulations. l 1) Objector Issues: The City of Greeley is concerned that designating the end land-use as "water resources" will compromise the wildlife habitat in the area. They would prefer that the reclamation plan included several more measures (such as the inclusion of more native species, and the oversight of the project by a quali5ed wildlife biologist/ecologist) that would make it a wildlife habitat. They are also concerned about dust and noise impacts to the City residents to the south of the site. The Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE) has commented that their office should contacted if any dredging or filling associated with this project is to take place in waters of the United States, with Mr. Terry McKee to be the contact. Comments from the State Division of Wildlife regarding the Weld County permit have been forwarded to DMG. The Division of Wildlife's main concerns involving this development are the narrowing of the riparian corridor associated with the Poudre River; obstruction of the movement offree-ranging wildlife; loss of wetlands, subirrigated pasture, warm-water sloughs, wildlife movement corridors, and potential habitat; water quality issues that may impact small fish habitats, and the permanent loss of wildlife value because of increased human disturbance. They recommend a different seed mixture, a weed control plan, variation of the shorelines, protection of the warm-water sloughs, cazeful design of the fencing so as not to trap wildlife, a minimum 100-foot setback from the center of the river, and a complete survey for Preble's jumping mouse and Ute Ladies' Tresses prior to the onset of mining. Several residents have written in with objections, including [he following issues. DMG can only address those concerns over which it has jurisdiction under the Colorado Land Reclamation Acto for the Extraction of Construction Materials (C.R.S. 34-32.5-101 et.seq.). With this in mind, the list below summarizes the objector's concerns and notes which adequacy items listed above address these concerns. l) Incorrect siting of buildings and homes on the map, with fencing omitted from the maps. Please verify distances and include fencing on the maps. This is concern is included above under DMG technical adequacy item number 4. 2) Incorrect sizing of Rocky Road on the map. Please verify the dimensions of this road and adjust the map if errors have been made. This is concern is included above under DMG technical adequacy item number 4.
