Consultants Inc.. This technical report can be found as Attachment 2 of Volume 11 of the Cresson Project <br />Mine Life Extension Permit M-1980-244 Application submitted in April 2008. CC&V does not anticipate any <br />adverse hydrologic impacts to the Grassy Valley drainage area. <br />Traffic Impact Stuff: <br />Comment #7. The TIS identifies two specific roadway modifications (intersection improvement at SH 67/CR 821, <br />and realignment of CR 82), but does not identify the financial responsibility or schedule for completing these <br />improvements. Please provide details on anticipated construction. <br />Response CC& V is responsible for completing the improvements to the intersection of County Road <br />821 and Highway 67, and the realignment of County Road 82. The anticipated time frame for completion is <br />December 2009 for CR 821/ Hwy 67 and December 2010 for CR 82. An Improvement Agreement for the <br />completion of these improvements will be presented to the Planning Commission on August 13, 2008 and <br />the Board of County Commissioners on September 11, 2008. The Improvement Agreement will be amended <br />with detailed engineering and cost information prior to initiation of any work. <br />Comment #8. The modification of the SH 67/CR 821 intersection will most likely require a CDOT access permit <br />and approval of construction plans. <br />Response CC&V is aware that modification of the SH 671CR 821 intersection will most likely require <br />a CDOT access permit and approval of construction plans and that process is ongoing and will be completed <br />by the time construction activities commence in 2009. <br />Comment #9. The discussion of a left turn deceleration lane from SH 67 and an acceleration lane on to SH 67 on <br />Pages 10 and 11 should include the proposed acceleration lengths, based on AASHTO guidelines. Additionally, the <br />determination of the left turn storage requirement, listed as 100 feet so that two 50-foot tractor-trailer combinations can <br />be stored, should be based on the length of vehicles reasonably expected to use the lane. If the typical delivery truck <br />that would use this lane is 50 feet long, then the assumption of 100 feet of storage is reasonable. If it another vehicle <br />is typical, the proposed storage length should be adjusted accordingly. <br />Response CC&V will incorporate the appropriate storage length requirement for the left tum storage <br />as approved by CDOT in the final approved construction plans for the project. <br />Thank you for your time as it pertains to this matter, and should you have any further questions, comments or need any further <br />information, please contact me at (719) 689-4056 or Timm Comer, Chief Environmental Coordinator at (719) 689-4055. <br />, Environmental Resources <br />Attachments <br />CC: Berhan Keffelew, Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br />Paul Clarkson, Teller County Community Development Services
