Re: Camilletti -Gravel Pit Application
Dear Commissioners:
Aquatic Environmental Services, Inc. (AES) has been hired as a consultant to the Community of
Milner (rep. Ms. Loretta Van Norstand) in regards to the Camilletti Milner Gravel Pit Application.
The Applicant's intention is to apparently mine gravel from beneath property located in the Yampa
River floodplain at the confluence of the Yampa River and Trout Creek. Said property is bounded
by the Yampa River on the north, and on its south and westerly sides by Trout Creek. The engineer
for the Applicant is Water Resource Consultants, LLC (Mr. Paul Currier), and the surveyor is D&D,
Inc. (Mr. R.C. Moon).
AES reviewed documents provided by Routt County that are in support of the Applicant's
application. We also reviewed the Flood Insurance Study for Routt County, Colorado
(Unincorporated Areas) published September 29, 1989 by the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA). AES' comments related to these documents are as follows:
Survey MapuinQ
AES received several documents from Routt County Planning Department (Mr. John Eastman)
related to the application. These documents included a floodplain delineation report performed by Mr.
Paul Currier, and several accompanying maps with D&D title blocks on them. Because mapping is
an extremely important aspect of any project located within a floodplain, AES wanted to review the
field survey cross-sections taken across the river channel and question Mr. R.C. Moon in regards to
his survey procedures, determine where data was collected and to obtain control information. We
made several attempts to contact Mr. Moon but were unsuccessful in receiving a response. In lieu of
having direct contact with Mr. Moon we asked Mr. Eastman in the Routt County Planning
Department, through several telephone conversations and with written request (letter attached), to
ask the Applicant to have Mr. Moon contact us. Because the information we were seeking is
