DEPnxrWrrr otr lkC NSroRTNMN NH R I00-131 US 40/287 Hugo-East SA: 16262 The Colorado Department of Transportation has approved the construction of the temporary access associated with the embankment borrow source (Vick Pit) adjacent to US 40/287 at approximute MM 408.7 on the northerly side of the highway. The Department commonly issues access permits tlu•oughout the state at locations for which overhead power Pules exist. 1 understand that the Mine Land Reclamation Board is requesting a letter that acknowledges that Castle Rock Construction Company has followed all required regulations for the permitted access to the Vick property for the purpose of mining the soil as embankment for a CDOT project. At the planned temporary access to the Vick Pit, a single phase line conducting 14,400 volts crosses above on CDOT Right-of- way. The access permit for this pit identifies the location of this power line relative to the pla.rtned access point. The minimum height above the traveled surface required for power lines of this voltage is 20 feat. The Department's Access Manager, Nick Dickens, has confirmed that the presence of the power line was considered prior to approving the placement of this temporary access permit. The actual height at this location is well in excess of the minimwn height of 20 feet. There is also a buried fiber- optic line that follows the old CDOT Right-of-Way at the proposed location for the access to the Vick borrow pit. Qwest is the owner of this fiber. T met with the Qwest Senior Ops Tech, Steve Albricht, on Thursday, J my 15, 2010, to review impacts of the planned construction throughout the 9.7 mile project. Mr. Albricht located 1nie and estimated depths of the fiber at all proposed excavations near their line. The average depths were from 6 to 9 feet below ground in drainage crossings and 4 to 5 feet below ground throughout the rest of the project limits. lie had no concerns at locations where no additional cuts or excavations were planned. The site proposed for the access to the V ick Pit will not impact the Qwest fiber optic line provided no excavation is required or no decrease in the existing ground cover is anticipated. Do not hesitate to contact me if additional information may be needed regarding the access permit, underground fiber line, or overhead power line.
