Carbondale, CO 81623
Mr. & Mrs. Blue:
On December 21, 1981, a Special Use Permit was approved by Resolution No. 81-384 for a
sand and gravel mine on your property (legally described as being in Sections 25 and 36,
Township 7 South, Range 88 West of the 6th Principal Meridian). In the Conditions of
Approval for this Special Use Permit, item #6 specifically states that all access to the project
site shall be from County Road 103.
On May 3, 1993, over forty (40) vehicle trips were observed in and out of the gravel pit with all
but three (3) being from County Road 103. The three (3) trips that were directly from Highway
82 via the gravel road were by Kirkland Construction equipment, two pickups and one fuel
tank truck.
These three (3) trips, although a small percentage of the activity:
(1) Specifically violate your conditions of approval; and
(2) Seem to be all from one source, Kirkland Construction.
If these violations are not discontinued within the next thirty (30) days, Garfield County has
several options including prosecution by the County Attorney for violating the revised, 1978
Garfield County Zoning Resolution and the revocation of your Special Use Permit for the
gravel pit. Please contact this office with a proposed solution in writing to place in the file.
I sincerely hope that this matter ca n be quickly resolved with a minimum amount of
inconvenience to you and I f hank you in advance for your cooperation.
Thank you,
Michael E. Watts

TO: Officials and Public of Garfield County
FROM: Blue Pit in Carbondale
RI:: Temporary Highway 82 Access Road
•
This special use permit application represents a request for the
addition of the temporary use of an existing access road to the
existing permit issued in the name of Jean and Dee Blue and Zemlock
and Sons, Inc. (Garfield County Resolution No. 81-384). The
yeneral character and nature of the gravel mining operation shall
remain the same as in the existing permit.
Present access to the permit is via County Roads 103 and 104. The
new access road would utilize the existing access from the gravel
piL to the new Ilighway 82 construction project.
Uncle): the present permit work hours are 7:00 am through 5:00 pin
daily. Truck sizes will be tractor trailer units. Existing
structures onsite presently include a scale house (200 sf),
maintenance shop (3600 sf) and the crushing equipment.
The existing methods of sewage disposal are portable chemical
toilets for the gravel pit operation and truck drivers and a leach
field for shop personnel. Water for pit activities, including
washing of material and equipment and dust suppression, is obtained
from the landowners water rights in the Basin Ditch in the summer.
Water rights for the pit operation are provided for through
District Court, Water Division No. 5, Case No. 87 -CW -364. WaLet
will be trucked in for winter use as needed.

Temporary Access Road Permit
May 13, 1993
The proposed temporary permit provisions offer the following
benefits to the county, general public and the applicant:
TEMPORARY ACCESS ROAD
1. Truck traffic will be removed from County Roads 103 and 104.
This will remove the conflicts of truck traffic with the
growing residential traffic on County Road 103, increasing
public safety. Conflict between school bus traffic and
existing bus stop at the 103/104 intersection would also be
removed. Maintenance requirements on these roads will also be
reduced.
2. The new route will reduce the trip time by ten minutes over
the present access. This will save fuel and improve truck
efficiency. This is of course beneficial to the applicant,
but it is, in the long run, also beneficial to the public.
3. Trucks would be able to haul overweight do to the fact that
no county roads or state highways will be travelled on. This
will reduce the amount of trucking by one half.
4. Trucks will pass in front of the Ranch at Roaring Fork either
ori Highway 82 or new access. If temporary access is used,
traffic will be reduced by one half.
The temporary access road is presently in place. It has been
constructed within the new Highway 82 Four -Lane Project presently
under construction.
IMPACTS OF THE PROPOSED REVISIONS
1. Truck traffic will be accelerating and decelerating in the
vicinity of the Ranch at Roaring Fork, introducing some
additional noise in the area. The impact of this noise is
difficult to quantify when considered in context with the
existing noise levels of highway 82 traffic volumes and the
present construction project.

MINING OPERATIONAL CRITERIA
1. All mining operations will be contained within the boundaries
of the site as defined by the meets and bounds description
attached with this application.
2. The hours of extractive operations shall be limited to 7:00 am
through 5:00 pm daily.
3. Dust conditions on the temporary access drive will be
controlled through frequent water applications, the use of
magnesium chloride or other chemicals effective in the
suppression of dust.
4. Water shall be used as a dust suppressant in the pit area and
applied in a frequency and manner sufficient to mitigate any
adverse impact from dust.

SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR TEMPORARY ACCESS
May 14, 1993
This impact report is offered as a supplement to the previously
submitted special use permit application. The report responds to
the subject and issues identified in Section 5.03.07 - Impac:L
Report and Section 5.03.08 - Industrial Performance Standards.
1 N'I'RODUCTION
The site which is the subject of this report is presently occupied
Icy a gravel mining and crushing operation which was permitted iii
1981 (Garfield County Resolution No. 81-384). This special use
permit application requests a change in the access route to the
mining site. The operational plan has been brought up to date, but
the remaining aspects of the proposed operation will remain
consistent with the presently inforce use permit. A more detailed
explanation of the proposed revisions and additions is included in
Lite text accompanying the permit application and will not be
repeated here. This report intends to describe any possible
impacts of the operation and, where appropriate, to discuss
mitigation measurers.
GOVERNING LAWS AND REGULATIONS
The operations at the site will fall under the jurisdiction of the
Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board (MLRB) and the Colorado
Department of Health. The existing MLRB operations permit for the
site has been transferred into the name of Western Slope
Aggregates. The pit is presently in operation under the provisions
of Permit NO. M-81-207, Revision No.SO-02.
Tlie Air Pollution Control Division of the Colorado Department of
IlealLli has issued an Emission Permit for the site, Permit No.
83GA233F. This permit is presently in the process of being
transferred to Western Slope Aggregates.
SURFACE/SUBSURFACE WATER
`!'here are no active natural streams heading on or running across
the project area. The Basin Ditch and a feeder ditch cross the
project and irrigates lands within the projct boundary. The
mining and relcamation plans incorporate provisions for maintaining
uninterrupted flows in these ditches.
The hydrologic characteristics of the reclaimed area following
mining will be very similar to thsoe existing today in that surface
drainage is now and will remain tributary to the Roaring Fork River
e i Ll,er by suiface flow or entry into the water table.

generated by the highway construction.
On August 5, 1991, Mr. Rick Adams, Officer with the Division of
Wildlife, was ment at the site and provided with a description of
the proposed modifications of the special use permit. It is
anticipated that Mr. Adams will address a letter to Lhe County with
his comments regarding the application.
TRAFFIC IMPACTS
Presently, access to the pit site for all traffic is provided via
County Roads 103 and 104. The proposed access will remove almost
all pit traffic from these county roads and provide a much more
direct and safer route to Highway 82 for this project. Elapsed
time for truck trips will be reduced by approximately ten minutes
by the proposed road with reduction in fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions. The long term detrimental impacts of the truck traffic
on the structural and surface conditions of the county roads will
also be eliminated.
The removal of truck traffic from Conty Roads 103 and 104 will make
these roads safer for the local residential, agricultural and
school bus traffic.
DOMESTIC WATER AND WATEWATER
The piirnary factor influencing water and watewater services on the
site are the nurnbe of employees located on site. The operatoLs
project a range of five (5) to ten (10) employees to be located at
the pit site. The existing well will provide domestic water while
wastewater will be processed by a standard individual septic
disposal system. Restroom facilites will be located in the pit
maintenance building, and chemical toilets will be used for piL
operators and truck drivers.

`1'U: officials and Public of Garfield County
f'1WH: Blue Pit in Carbondale
RE: Temporary Highway 82 Access Road
This special use permit application represents a request for the
addition of the temporary use of an existing access road to Lhe
existing permit issued in the name of Jean and Dee Blue and Zeurl uek
and Sons, Inc. (Garfield County Resolution No. 81-384).
The
general character and nature of the gravel mining operation shall
remain the same as in the existing permit.
Present access to the permit is via County Roads 103 and 104. The
new access road would utilize the existing access frorn the gravel
piL to the new Ilighway 82 construction project.
Under the present permit work hours are 7:00 am through 5:0U pm
daily. Truck sizes will be tractor trailer units. Rxisl,.irrg
structures onsite presently include a scale house (200 f),
maintenance shop (3600 sf) and Lhe crushing equipment.
The existing methods of sewage disposal are portable chemical
LoileLs for the gravel pit operation and truck drivers and a leach
field for shop personnel. Water for pit activities, including
washing of material and equipment and dust suppression, is obtained
from the landowners water rights in the Basin Ditch in the summer.
WaLer rights for the pit operation are provided for. through
District Court, Water Division No. 5, Case No. 87 -CW -364. Water
will be Lrucked in for winter use as needed.

Temporary Access Road Permit
May 13, 1993
The proposed temporary permit provisions offer the following
benefits to the county, general public and the applicant:
TEMPORARY ACCESS ROAD
1. Truck traffic will be removed from County Roads 103 and 104.
This will remove Lite conflicts of truck traffic with the
growing residential traffic on County Road 103, increasing
public safety. Conflict between school bus traffic and
existing bus stop at the 103/104 intersection would also be
removed. Maintenance requirements on these roads will also be
reduced.
2. The new route will reduce the trip time by ten minutes over
the present access. This will save fuel and improve truck
efficiency. This is of course beneficial to the applicant,
but it is, in the long run, also beneficial to the public.
3. Trucks would be able to haul overweight do to the fact that
no county roads or state highways will be travelled on. This
will reduce the amount of trucking by one half.
4. Trucks will pass in front of the Ranch at Roaring Fork either
on Highway 82 or new access. If temporary access is used,
traffic will be reduced by one half.
The temporary access road is presently in place. It has been
constructed within the new Ilighway 82 Four -Lane Froject presently
wider construction.
IMPACTS OF THE PROPOSED REVISIONS
1. Truck traffic will be accelerating and decelerating iri the
vicinity of the Ranch at Roaring Fork, introducing some
additional noise in the area. The impact of this noise is
difficult to quantify when considered in context with the
existing noise levels of highway 82 traffic volumes and the
pLesent construction project.

MINING OPERATIONAL CRITERIA
1. All mining operations will be contained within the boundaries
of the site as defined by the meets and bounds description
attached with this application.
2. The hours of extractive operations shall be limited to 7:00 am
through 5:00 pm daily.
3. Dust conditions on the temporary access drive will be
controlled through frequent water applications, the use of
magnesium chloride or other chemicals effective in the
suppression of dust.
4. Water shall be used as a dust suppressant in the pit area and
applied in a frequency and manner sufficient to mitigate any
adverse impact from dust.

SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR TEMPORARY ACCESS
May 14, 1993
This impact report is offered as a supplement to the previously
submitted special use permit application. The report responds to
the subject and issues identified in Section 5.03.07 - Impact
RepoLL and Section 5.03.08 - Industrial Performance Standards.
INTRODUCTION
The site which is the subject of this report is presently occupied
by a gravel mining and crushing operation which was permitted in
1981 (Garfield County Resolution No. 81-384) . This special use
permit application requests a change in the access route to the
mining site. The operational plan has been brought up to dale, but.
the remaining aspects of the proposed operation will remain
consistent with the presently inforce use permit. A more detailed
explanation of the proposed revisions and additions is included in
the text accompanying the permit application and will not be
repeated here. This report intends to describe any possible
impacts of the operation and, where appropriate, Lo discuss
mitigation measurers.
GOVERNING LAWS AND REGULATIONS
'T'lie operations at the site will fall under the jurisdiction of the
Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board (MLRB) and the Colorado
Department of Health. The existing MLRB operations permit for the
site has been transferred into the name of Western Slope
Aggregates. The pit is presently in operation under the provisions
of Permit: NO. M-81-207, Revision No. SO -02 .
'1'1►e Air Pollution Control Division of the Colorado Department of
Health has issued an Emission Permit for the site, Permit No.
83i3A233F. This permit is presently in the process of being
transferred to Western Slope Aggregates.
SURFACE/SUBSURFACE WATER
There are no active natural streams heading on or running across
the project area. The Basin Ditch and a feeder ditch cross the
project and irrigates lands within the projct boundary. The
mining and relcarnation plans incorporate provisions for maintaining
nninLerrupted flows in these ditches.
The hydrologic characteristics of the reclaimed area following
mining will be very similar to thsoe existing today in that surface
diai.nage is now and will remain tributary to the Roaring Fork River
e1il,er by surface flow or entry into the water table.

generated by the highway construction.
On August 5, 1991, Mr. Rick Adams, Officer with the Division of
Wildlife, was ment at the site and provided with a description of
the proposed modifications of the special use permit. It is
anticipated that Mr. Adams will address a letter to the County with
his comments regarding the application.
TRAFFIC IMPACTS
Presently, access to the pit site for all traffic is provided via
County Roads 103 and 104. The proposed access will remove almost
all pit traffic from these county roads and provide a much moue
direct and safer route to Highway 82 for this project. Elapsed
time for truck trips will be reduced by approximately ten minutes
by the proposed road with reduction in fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions. The long term detrimental impacts of the truck traffic
on the structural and surface conditions of the county roads will
also be eliminated.
The removal of truck traffic from Conty Roads 103 and 104 will make
these roads safer for the local residential, agricultural and
school bus traffic.
DOMESTIC WATER AND WATEWATER
The primary factor influencing water and watewater services on the
site ate the nurnbe of employees located on site. The operators
project a range of five (5) to ten (10) employees to be located al
the piL site. The existing well will provide domestic water while
wastewater will be processed by a standard individual septic
disposal system. Restroom facilites will be located in the piL
maintenance building, and chemical toilets will be used for pit
operators and truck drivers.
