11.0 Air Quality
' The operator will comply with all State air quality permitting requirements and will
develop and implement a fugitive dust control plan for the property. The batch
plant will be equipped with a dust collection baghouse.
'
The sand and gravel deposit will be mostly wet and this will greatly inhibit fugitive
dust. Haul and access roads will be watered to control dust and the processing
plant will be equipped with spray bars at approximate locations.
12.0 Pesticide Contamination Issue

Pesticides and herbicides used for agricultural applications were historically used
and stored on the property. This creates the possibility for soil and ground water
' contamination on the property. The applicant is fully aware of this and has
performed an investigsttion of the soil and groundwater. Extensive soil and
groundwater testing has been performed on the property. Groundwater is not
contaminated above State drinking water standards and surface soil
contamination was found to be very localized in a small area near the buildings.
Toxaphene (a pesticide) is believed to be the only chemical compound found in
' the soil that exceeds State standards.
The applicant /operator commits to appropriate remediation of any
contamination on the property in cooperation with CDPHE. Soil or ground water
that is contaminated above adopted State standards will not be disturbed until an
approved clean up plan is implemented. A Voluntary Cleanup Plan (VCUP)
application has been submitted to CDPHE. We wish to have the County process
the Conditional Use pt:rmit with the understanding that no disturbance of the
contaminated area of the property will take place until the VCUP is approved. A
copy of the VCUP application is included with this Conditional Use Permit
application.
' 13.0 Wetlands /Protected Species

A preliminary assessment has been performed for wetlands, Preble's Meadow
Jumping Mouse, and S•piranthes Diluvialis. Appendix 1, contains the results of
that assessment (as well as the results of a file search by the Colorado Natural
Heritage Program). No jurisdictional wetlands will be disturbed.
According to the preliminary assessment there does not appear to be any
Spiranthes Diluvialis habitat present on the property. Potential Preble's Meadow
Jumping Mouse habitat does exist however the applicant is seeking clearance
from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that a trapping survey is not required.
Evidence of such clearance shall be forwarded to the County as soon as we
receive a response.
