Extraction of planned basins and lining of basins is complete as determined under a previous 2010 Technical Revision and attending correspondence. As part of the excavation activity, nearly 5.0± acres remain open with exposed surface waters and needing fill (refer to Exhibit D — Extraction Plan and Exhibit E — Reclamation Plan). Since there are adequate water resources to account for the exposed surface waters over the 5.0± acres pending fill, if fill activity stopped, at this point or when the acreage is less, since this is an area designated for post permit agricultural stockpiles and equipment storage, no additional expenses for resoiling or revegetation for this area are necessary. The activity extends the extraction/excavation out an additional five years, with finished revegetation of the surrounding vegetation strip an additional five years, with an estimated end date of 2021. Area 1 fill is complete and Area 3 fill is predominantly needed within a portion of 3 (A) and (B). Estimating nearly half of Area 3 (A) is filled with little to no exposed groundwater; nearly 3.3± acres will require an additional top of 1.5 feet of fill/and 0.5 feet of additional fill in lieu of soil (consistent with those conditions specified in the 1996 Technical Revision) for this portion of the agricultural stockpile and storage location, or approximately 2.0± feet of total fill. Area 3 (B) will require the same over 5.0± acres, for a total of 8.3± acres. All other excavation is complete, including two basins which have been lined and approved by the Colorado Division of Water Resources, as provided in previous correspondence consistent with the approved 2010 Technical Revision. All other aspects of the affected land and planned reclamation are attended to further under Exhibit E — Reclamation Plan and Exhibit L — Reclamation Costs; and attending maps. Varra Companies, Inc.

Kerr-McGee Gas Gathering LLC, a subsidiary of Anadarko Petroleum Corporation has high pressure natural gas facilities in the project area. Using the information you provided in your public notices it appears that your company will be mining the NW1/4, NE1/4 and the SE1/4 of the SW1/4 of Section 31. KMGG owns and operates a high pressure pipeline (14-200-3") that enters the 1/2 section line of 31/T3N/R67W at a point about 1,050' north of the south section line of Section 31. This line continues approximately due west for about 1,660 ft. At the west end of the 200-3" Anadarko Petroleum Corporation has a tank battery/meter station, the Gould L. G Jr UT 1 (MS 008005), I have attached a portion of our plat for T3N R67W showing your area of interest and the gathering line and tank battery/meter station in question. The locations shown on the attached plat are approximate. The actual locations and depths of the KMGG facilities should be field located, flagged and surveyed and shown on your development drawings. I have also attached the KMG General Guidelines for Design and Construction. Please contact Mr. David Ankle at 303 748 5742 to initiate the procedure for KMGG pipeline facilities relocation. For information on the tank battery/meter station please contact Mr. Dave Bell at 303 655-4350. Please contact me at 303-655-4319 if you have any questions or need further information.

The pit is proposed to be located at or near section 9, T5N, R65W. DMRS Rule 34-32.5-109(3) requires that the mining operator comply with local land use and zoning regulations. Since FEMA and the Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) requires local jurisdictions to administer the Federal and State floodplain regulations, Weld County requests that a condition be added to the reclamation permit requiring a FEMA approved Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) prior to the release/vacation of the DMRS permit. The reason for the above request is that Weld County has recently been informed by FEMA in a letter dated January, 13, 2011, that in order to remain compliant with the National Flood Insurance Program, Weld County has to ensure that LOMRs are submitted to FEMA for gravel pits located in a floodplain (See attached letter). FEMA requires that chances such as 100-year flood water surface elevations, floodplain boundaries, and floodway boundaries be documented and accepted through their LOMR process. Subsequently, Weld County requires evidence of a FEMA approved LOMR prior to vacation of the County's land use permits. The Federal Regulations that apply can be found in 44CFR 60.3 and 65.3. FEMA, the CWCB, and Weld County have floodplain regulations which potentially impact how the site can be used after reclamation. The above mentioned agencies also have regulations in place regarding the erosional stability of any fill that may be left in the floodplain at the completion of mining. Gravel mining activity has potential adverse impacts on the hydrologic balance of the groundwater and surface water systems. The FEMA mapped floodplain is a part of the hydrologic balance and is therefore potentially impacted by gravel mining operations. DRMS Rule 34-32.5-116(4)(h) requires that changes to the hydrologic balance of the affected land be minimized. Since the function of the floodplain is a piece of the RECEIVV.„Pto,2 M\PLANNING-DEVELOPMENT REVIEVA7-DayCompletenessReviews120101PA10-067 Flootlplain Comments to DMRS 4-19-11 docx APR 2 2 2011 hydrologic balance, we request that the operator show what impact their mining activity has had on the 100-year flood water surface elevations and floodplain functions through a FEMA approved LOMR prior to DMRS releasing the reclamation permit. ORMS Rule 34-32.5-116(4)0) requires that areas outside of the affected land shall h. protected from damage occurring during the mining operation and reclamation. Mining and reclamation activities may have changed the conveyance of the floodplain in the 100-year flood. Since the currently mapped floodplain extends beyond the operator's property, the potential exists for surrounding property owners to be impacted or even damaged by the mining and reclamation activities that have occurred on the operator's property. The operator can reduce their liability by obtaining a FEMA approved LOMR which documents the impacts that mining has had on the FEMA mapped floodplain. To summarize, in order to be consistent with applicable Federal, State, and Local floodplain regulations, Weld County requests that the DRMS place a condition on the amended permit to require a FEMA approved LOMR prior to the release/vacation of the DRMS permit. This requirement will provide evidence that the mining operation has not adversely impacted the hydrologic balance or adversely impacted properties outside of the affected land from damage caused by the mining and reclamation operations.

Weld County joined the NFIP Sept. 16, 1974 at which time a Flood Hazard Prevention Ordinance was adopted in exchange for flood insurance being available to anyone in the community. The currently effective FIRM was preceded by two maps; a Flood Hazard Boundary Map (FHBM) dated March 21, 1978 and a FIRM dated March 18, 1980. Weld County's current Flood Insurance Rate Map(FIRM) and floodplain prevention ordinance is dated September 22, 1999.The County currently has 268 flood insurance policies in force and has experienced 22 paid claims since 1978. There is currently a question whether a development activity that was permitted prior to the initial FIRM requires a Letter of Map Revision(LOMR) to be completed. Due to the current FIRM not reflecting the current physical features due to manmade actions, it is interpreted that a LOMR will be required to meet the minimum NFPP requirements codified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 44 Part 60.3, specifically 44 CFR 60.3 (b)(3): "Require that all new subdivision proposals and other proposed developments (including proposals for manufactured home parks and subdivisions) greater than 50 lots or 5 acres,whichever is the lesser, include within such proposals base flood elevation data."For the purposes of the NFIP, development is defined in CFR 59.1 as any man-made change to improved or unimproved real estate, including but not limited to building or other structures,mining, dredging, filing, grading,paving excavation or drilling operations or storage of equipment or material. This action is supported 44 CFR 65.3 Requirement to submit new technical data which states that: A community's base flood elevations may increase or decrease resulting from physical changes affecting flooding conditions. As soon as practicable,but not later than six months after the date such information becomes available, a community shall notify the Administrator of the changes by submitting technical or scientific data in accordance with this part. Such a submission is necessary so that upon confirmation of those physical changes affecting flooding conditions,risk premium rates and flood plain management requirements will be based upon current data. 44 CFR 60.3 (b) (7) also states...Assure that the flood carrying capacity within the altered or relocated portion of ay watercourse is maintained. www.fema.gov • • Clay Kimmi January 13, 2011 Page 2 With the changes that have been made within the floodplain, and for the County to remain in compliance with the NFIP,per 44 CFR 65.3.
