Current Activities
Larimer County is working to keep road maintenance efficient and cost-effective while ensuring a sustainable gravel supply for years to come. We are identifying new aggregate sources in western Larimer County to ensure continued road maintenance after current supplies run out.
Locating New Aggregate Sites
The County is working to identify land in western Larimer County with natural deposits of gravel, cobble, or suitable bedrock that can be processed into gravel aggregate for roadway surfacing material.
To minimize haul distances and environmental impact, Larimer County aims to develop several small regional aggregate quarries rather than one large operation.
Ideal sites are easily accessible from existing roads, close to non-paved roads needing maintenance, and create minimal impacts to County residents, visitors, and wildlife.
Regulatory Oversight & Environmental Considerations
Any aggregate extraction project in Larimer County must comply with County and State regulations, which include:
Environmental reviews to assess potential impacts.
Compliance reviews and approvals to ensure the project meets federal, state, and local requirements.
Opportunities for public input to ensure community concerns are considered before the project is approved.
Current & Future Projects
The County is actively working with multiple landowners to explore the development of new aggregate resource projects.
These efforts will help maintain a reliable, cost-effective supply of road surfacing materials for years to come.
✔ Stay Updated: Updates will be added as new aggregate sites are identified and developed.
