O. Box 471 Boulder, CO 80306 Re: Dowe Flats Mining and Reclamation Project Boulder County Permit No. SU-93-14 and V-93-8 Dear Cazolyn, A meeting was held on November 10, 1994 to discuss this project. In attendance was yourself and Jeff Moline representing the Parks and Open Space Department (POSD), Clark Misner, Boulder County Transportation Department (BDOT), and representing Southdown was John Lohr, Gerald Anderson, and myself. Issues discussed at this meeting pertained to the floodplain and grading permits, conveyor alignment and the preliminary haul road construction scheduled to begin later this fall. The preliminary haul road construction includes one box culvert over each of the following imgation ditches: Palmerton, Rough and Ready, and Supply; bridge piers in the Highland Ditch, and bridge piers in St. Vrain Creek. This meeting followed a field meeting on October 31 where these same issues were discussed. In attendance at this meeting were Preston Douglas, Curt Parker and Wayne Ellis from BDOT, and Jeff Moline from POSD. Representing Southdown was John I.ohr, Gerald Anderson, Darrel Buffington, Don Van Buskirk, and Mike Figgs. With respect to the November 10 meeting, we discussed in addition to the above referenced issues, vacation of County Road 49, the closing of the bridge on County Road 49, and access to the Wallace property With respect to conveyor alignment, it was agreed by the parties present at the November 10 meeting that the conveyor alignment, after crossing St. Vrain Creek, would be moved farther south and be adjacent to the plant entrance road, as displayed on the enclosed map. The purpose of this realignment was to move the conveyor farther away from the St. Vrain Creek riparian zone, and reduce the visibility of the structure from Ute Highway. Southdown agreed to this change of alignment with the provision that an additional amount of the gravel pit pond area would need to be filled, in order to accommodate both the plant entrance road and the conveyor. This additional amount of fill (also displayed on the enclosed map) is beyond what was originally anticipated in the grading permit, but does not affect the characteristics of the floodplain. (over)
