United commits to prompt reclamation after the final Phase is mined and all materials are sold <br />from the site. This is also discussed in the Reclamation Plan. <br />14. Visual Impacts and Contemporaneous Reclamation <br />As with any earthwork activity, during the operation there will be visual impact. The primary <br />viewshed is I-70 and is significantly higher in elevation than the proposed site, therefore limiting <br />the mitigation techniques. Berming or fencing will not provide any mitigation nor is it required by <br />County Standards. The pit will be much more difficult to see from the other three directions due to <br />flat terrain and the presence of very large trees and shrubs. Also, the adjacent property to the east is <br />the La Farge Mamm Creek gravel pit. The area to the north is all industrial use on the other side of <br />the Colorado River. Highway 6 is further north but cannot significantly see the operation due to <br />the large trees and shrubs along the 100' buffer between the river and the pit. <br />Much concern has been expressed about visual impacts and the following commitments have been <br />made to address this issue: <br />The County will be invited to any bond release inspection of the State Division of Reclamation, <br />Mining and Safety. The County inspector will have the opportunity to demonstrate that any item of <br />the permit has not been complied with and that bond should not be released. <br />The County will have the opportunity to evaluate the performance of the Operator with regard to <br />the County permit and take action if it is demonstrated to the Operator that certain conditions of <br />the permit have not been met. The Operator acknowledges that the County has performance <br />standards in place that could lead to revocation of the Land Use Change Permit if continued <br />violations of the permit occur over a period of time. <br />15. Potable Water and Sanitary Facilities <br />Similar to other gravel pits in the area, portable toilets will be provided by a local service provider <br />at the main facilities area where the plants are located. Due to the reduced life span of the <br />operation, only porto-potties will be used on site for sanitation. Potable water will be provided <br />through a bottled water supplier like Deep Rock.
