SITE DESCRIPTION FOR THE GOODMILLER PIT APPLICATION
SUBMITTED BY VESCO CONSULTING SERVICES, LLC
This property is located in the nw' of section 16, T7N, R59W, of the 6th PM. The site is owned and
managed by the Colorado State Board of Land Commissioners, 1127 Sherman St. #300, Denver, Co. The
land is currently rangeland used as pasture and leased to a local rancher for that purpose.
(a) The site was previously mined for sand and gravel and partially reclaimed after mining ended.
The site is near the top of a hill and is covered with native grasses and some cactus. The soils in
the area are Olney fine sandy loam and Cascajo gravelly sandy loam. A map from the
Conservation Service along with a description of the soils is attached.
(b) There are no existing structures or improvements except for a perimeter fence of barbed wire in
fair condition.
(c) There are no water resources on the property or in the immediate vicinity The nearest defined
drainage is Wildcat Creek to the west southwest approximately 150 ft lower in elevation. It is
our opinion that neither surface nor groundwater systems will be affected by this mining
operation and that no discharge permits will be required.
EXHIBIT C
MINING PLAN
GOODMILLER PIT/ VESCO CONSULTING SERVICES, LLC
(a) Mining will commence on November 1, 2013 and continue thru November 1, 2023 or until the
deposit is depleted.
(b) The mining plan is to strip the topsoil using scrapers and pile it along the northern perimeter of
the permit area. The topsoil stockpile will be graded to a maximum 3:1 slope and seeded with
native grasses to prevent erosion. The topsoil pile will be graded and seeded to prevent erosion.
(c) The depth of the topsoil on the site varies from none to approximately 4 inches with the
previously mined area having little or no topsoil. The upon completion of mining the topsoil will
be replaced to its historical depth including on the slopes which will be sloped to a 4:1 slope
after during the mining process.
(d) There is no overburden below the topsoil in this pit and all material will be used in the finished
product.
(e) The deposit is estimated to be approximately 15 feet in depth across the mining area.
(f) The mining area is 675 ft east to west and 629 ft north to south. There will be a road of 260 ft
long and 20 ft wide leading onto the site. The total affected area is approximately 9.87 acres.
The new road will be 20 ft in width, crowned and ditched to control wastewater. The ditches will
direct wastewater into the pit area where it will be contained.
(g) The access road from the county road will be 260 ft in length and 20 ft wide. The mine roads wilt
also be 20 ft wide and built in a one way configuration. All roads in the pit area will be graded,
compacted, crowned, ditched and hard surfaced with road base.
(h) The only water used on site will be for dust control. Water will be purchased from a commercial
source in the area and applied to the roads as necessary either with a water truck or sprinkler
system on an as needed basis.
(i) There will be no groundwater encountered nor will any surface water be disturbed in any way.
This operation will produce no storm water runoff as all water will be contained on site. The
perimeter of the site will be bermed to contain all storm water and a catch basin will be
constructed on site.
(j) It is my opinion that no Colorado water rights will be affected or damaged in any way by this
mining operation.
(k) The only previous use of this property has been a small mine and grazing so there should be no
refuse, acid or toxic materials exposed during mining of the site. If any refuse is encountered it
will be collected and disposed of at an appropriate permitted disposal site.
(I) By capturing all runoff water on site the subject area should not alter the hydrologic balance in
any way. After mining and reclamation is complete the area will be reseeded and straw crimped
to prevent any excessive runoff from the subject area. The 4:1 slopes and reseeding should
make a stable site consistent with the proposed future use.
(m) After stripping material will be fed into the processing equipment on the eastern side of the
permit area and processed, then conveyed to the stockpile area on the southern edge of the
permit area where it will be loaded, scaled and delivered using CR 115. The pit run will be mined
using a front end loader, loaded into a crushing/screening plant and then stockpiled using
conveyors. When the deposit is mined to its maximum depth the area will be graded and sloped
to a 4:1 slope in preparation for reclamation. The pit will be mined from the northeast to the
southwest, with the processing equipment moving to the mined area as needed to facilitate
mining of the complete permit area. No explosives or chemicals will be used. All trash will be
manages on site and hauled by a commercial trash company.
(n) The primary commodities to be mined are gravel and dirt for construction in the area.
(o) There are no incidental products projected in this operation
(p) There will be no explosives used in this operation.
EXHIBIT D
RECLAMATION PLAN
(1)
(a) The reclamation of the site will take place after completion of mining. The topsoil will be stripped
from the mining area as needed and stockpiled on the north edge of the permit area. The topsoil on
this site varies from 0 to 4 inches in depth in depth. The topsoil removed will be replaced at a
uniform depth across the mined area at the same depth as historically found in the area.
(b) The banks of the pit will be sloped to a minimum slope of 4:1 then covered with topsoil to the same
depth as found originally.
(c)
i. Topsoil depth is minimal. It will be replaced at the same depth as when removed,.
ii. As mining is completed topsoil will be replaced, disced and reseeded. Seed bed will be straw
crimped.
iii. Buffalo Grass 6 lbs/acre
Little Bluestem 4 lbs/acre
Sideoats Grama 3 lbs/acre
Blue Gramma 6 lbs/acre
Total 19 lbs/acre
iv. Seed is to be drilled
v. seed bed will be straw crimped using a mechanical crimper
vi. N/A

(2)
The estimated cost of reclamation is as follows.
Placement and preparation of topsoil and mobilization $1,000 per acre
Soil prep and till $ 65 per acre
Seeding and straw crimping of the site $800.00 per acre
Grading and sloping $ 175 per acre
Total reclamation cost $2,045 per acre x 10 acres $20,450
