Box 1507 <br />Pagosa Springs, CO 81147 <br />Re: Eagle Mountain Gravel Pit <br />Dear Mr. Feyen and Commissioners: <br />APR 16 2010 <br />DiYiWn of Rzdama on, <br />Ahining rnd Safety <br />This letter addresses the potential offsite traffic generated by the development of the. proposed <br />Eagle Mountain Gravel Pit. In evaluating the potential traffic. impact created by the proposed <br />gravel pit, we have considered the traffic flow created by employees, construction. equipment <br />traffic flow, and traffic flow created by disbursement of gravel. mined from the pit. <br />The proposed Eagle Mountain Gravel Pit is not intended for commercial use. Current plans are <br />to develop the gravel pit for use in onsite road construction for the surrounding development. <br />The proposed gravel pit has the potential to provide all necessary gravel for the development <br />eliminating the necessity of importing gravel from offsite pits. <br />Access to the gravel pit. will be via the existing roadway from Cloman Drive. The proposed <br />gravel pit operations will require no more than 4 employees. The number of trips generated by 4 <br />employees on a daily basis would have minimal impact on adjacent roadways. <br />Crushing will be conducted onsite approximately once a year as needed. Crushed gravel will be <br />stockpiled at. the pit. Equipment for the crushing operations will be hauled only during <br />mobilization and demobilization. The development has adequate water rights to provide all <br />necessary construction water onsite, therefore no offsite water trucks will be used for dust <br />abatement. All of the construction traffic will be contained within the project development site, <br />utilizing proposed roads within the development as they are constructed. <br />Based on the above information, there will be no offsite traffic generated by the development of <br />the Eagle Mountain Gravel Pit, other than the four operators reporting to work, and minimal <br />mobilization and demobilization of crushing equipment. <br />If you have any questions or require further information, please call me.. <br />Sincerely <br />Martin.
