FILE NUMBER M-1977-223 WILEY PIT (AM-01)
OPERATOR: SIBS Five Rivers Cattle Feeding
Dear Mr. Cunningham:
This letter is provided as clarification to design and operation aspects of the proposed Colorado Beef
Reservoir for the Colorado Beef feedyard owned and operated by JBS Five Rivers Cattle Feeding LLC
(JBS). A freshwater reservoir will be constructed on property owned by .IBS north of the leedyard that will
be used as a water storage structure for livestock use. Water will be transferred from the reservoir to the
1'ecdyard via an underground pipeline. This underground pipeline will cross man-made structures: U.S.
Highway 50, the Amity Canal and existing utilities. The construction of the water pipeline is not related to
any mining activities but is specific only to the supply of water to livestock at the feedyard.
The design of the pipeline considers the referenced man-made structures and no damage is expected to occur
to the structures during construction. Furtherniore, construction is expected to occur such that no
interruption will occur with the operation of the Amity Canal or the existing utilities. JBS, as owner of the
project, will pay for any damages that occur to the man-made structures during construction.
The contractor selected for project construction will be expected to complete the proiect without any damage
to the man-made structures. In addition, the contractor will be responsible for all utility line locates (through
the Utility Notification Center of Colorado) prior to construction and any damages incurred to utilities during
construction will be covered under the contractor's liability insurance policy as part of the project contract
with JBS.
Prior to construction, the contractor will be responsible for obtaining the required utility/special use pennit
from the Colorado Department of "Transportation (CDOT) for crossing U.S. Highway 50. Additionally. J13S
will the for a Stonnwater Construction Permit through the Colorado Department of Public Health and
Environment (CDPHE) prior to construction.
In my opinion, there should be no inherent problems associated with this pipeline construction project and
that no damage is expected to occur to any manmade structures. Should you have any questions or require
additional information, please contact me.
