Rule 6.4.3 Exhibit C- Pre-Mining and Mining Plan Map (s) of Affected
Lands
The site is located in pasture land approximately 1/3 of a mile south of the intersection of
Weld County Road 120 and Weld County Road 81. Several Maps have been included in
this section in order to provide all of the required information: Map 2 - Assessor's Map,
Map 3 — Existing Conditions Plan (Pre-Mining Map), Map 4 — Aerial Image Map, and
Map 5 —Mining Plan Map.
(a) Map 2 — Assessor's Map depicts all adjoining parcels and surface owners of
record.
(b) Map 3 — Existing Conditions Plan shows the location of all existing conditions
on and adjacent to the site. Porter Creek is an intermittent drainage located in
Section 11 and approximately 950 feet east of the proposed pit boundary. The
closest man-made structure is a residence approximately 400 feet to the south
of the proposed southern pit boundary. There is a dry and abandoned oil and
gas well (API # 05-123-07390) approximately 800 feet northeast of the
northern proposed pit boundary. There are power lines on the west side of
WCR 81 and a buried communication line on the east side of WCR 81, most
likely in the prescribed right-of-way for the road.
(c) Map 3 — Existing Conditions Site Plan shows existing topography with one
foot contour intervals. The site slopes to east at 1% to 5%.
(d) Both Map 3 — Existing Conditions Plan and Map 5 — Mining Plan Map show
the Proposed Borrow Pit Boundary. The only area outside of the Proposed Pit
Boundary to be affected is for the access point onto Weld County Road 81.
(e) Map 5 — Mining Plan Map contains a note stating the type of present
vegetation covering the affected lands. The site is vegetated native grasses and
cactus.
(f) The mining depth will be relatively shallow and no ground water will be
exposed. The pit will be a dry pit with no impoundments.

Rule 6.4.4 EXHIBIT D - Mining Plan
Map 5-Mine Plan Map depicts the overall layout of the borrow pit. The plan shows one
access point for the pit off of Weld County Road (WCR) 81. Five cross-sections on Map
7 have been prepared to depict the proposed slopes during the active mining phase of the
project.
(a) The mining operation is to borrow fill dirt. The fill dirt proposed to be extracted
will be used by oil and gas companies in the surrounding area. As mining occurs,
topsoil will be stockpiled as new lands are disturbed. The proposed Borrow Pit
access road will be 24 feet wide and will be adequate for the level of anticipated
truck traffic associated with this pit. The mine faces will be cut to a 3:1 slope,
which will remain as the reclaimed slope. Map 5 Mine Plan Map and Map 7
Mining & Reclamation Cross Sections depict the mine layout and sections during
mining operations. The surrounding network of Weld County Roads will serve as
haul routes for the pit products to the surrounding oil and gas destinations. All haul
trucks will enter/leave the site from/to the north on WCR 81. Approximately half
of the trucks will proceed west on WCR 120 and the rest will travel east on WCR
120. In accordance with the Town of Grover requirements no trucks will be
permitted to travel through the Town. There will be a portable toilet, potable water,
and a trash container on-site. A vehicle tracking control pad will be placed at the
access to prevent tracking of mud onto WCR 81 and WCR 120. A typical VTC
detail is included at the end of this section.
(b) Earthmoving activities will begin with removal and stockpile of topsoil. The
topsoil is approximately 6" to 8" in depth. Then backhoes and loaders will be used
to excavate the fill dirt. The pit-run fill dirt will either be stockpiled for future
loading of haul trucks or loaded directly into haul trucks. There will not be any
screening or crushing of the mined materials. There will not be any scales on the
site. The haul truck drivers are trained to keep their loads under the maximum limits
through a combination of the following three methods. The air pressure inside the
cab shows the pressure of the air bag support to the trailer, which indicates how
much weight is on the trailer. The second method is by visual volume inside the
trailer. The third method is by counting the loader buckets dumped into the trailer.
(c) All proposed stormwater diversion ditches and sedimentation ponds are shown on
Map 5 Mine Plan Map. The stormwater diversion ditches may be either a cut ditch
or a berm, for the purpose of intercepting and directing surface storm water within
the pit to one of the sediment ponds. The sediment pond will allow settling of any
solids. There will be no outlet for the sediment ponds. The captured stormwater will
dissipate through infiltration and evaporation. A small berm will be created around
the topsoil stockpile areas to prevent sediment transport into adjacent stormwater
diversion ditches. The stockpiles will be protected from wind and water erosion
with temporary seed cover if the piles are left in place for more than 180 days or
one growing season.
(d) The overall maximum area of disturbance proposed is 17.5 acres. Approximately 3
acres will be utilized for the access road, stockpile areas, and sediment ponds. The
remaining 14.5 acres of the 17.5 acres will be used for active mining. The

Rule 6.4.5 EXHIBIT E — Reclamation Plan
(1) The proposed grading at time of final reclamation is shown on Map 6, Reclamation
Plan Map. This map also shows the location of five proposed cross-sections which
depict the proposed final slopes which will be encountered during the reclamation
phase of the operation. Map 7, Mine & Reclamation Plan Cross Sections, depict the
existing grade and final grade after reclamation for each cross section. The outer
perimeter of the mine along the west edge of the pit will be graded to a minimum of 3:1
slopes to ensure long term stability. The interior of the mine will be graded to conform
to the general west to east slope of the existing land. There will be no impoundments.
(2) (a) All of the affected lands are currently pasture land. Reclamation will restore all
of the affected land to pasture land. The amount of disturbed land will be limited
to 17.5 acres at any one time. The mining operation will bring the grades to
within 6" to 8" of the final reclaimed elevation to allow for topsoil application.
(b) The post-mining use will be pasture land which is consistent with the existing
land use in the vicinity of the project. This is also consistent with the Weld
County Zoning designation for this property, which is A-Agriculture.
(c) Section 3.1
3.1.1 Establishing Post-Mining Use: The Operator is the landowner. The land
will be reclaimed to the original use of pasture land.
3.1.2 Reclaiming Substituted Land: N/A
3.1.3 Time Limit and Phased Reclamation: The Operator commits to complete
each phase of reclamation within five (5) years from the date that such phase has
commenced.
3.1.4 Public Use: N/A
3.1.5 Reclamation Measures — Materials Handling: Grading will be performed so
as to create the final topography shown on the Reclamation Plan. The
Operator/Landowner will utilize appropriate earth moving equipment to ensure
adequate compaction for stability. The grading will be done in a manner to
control erosion and siltation of the affected lands through use of stormwater
diversion ditches and settling ponds. Cut slopes will be cut at a 3:1 during the
mining operation and left at this slope at the time of reclamation. Topsoil
placement and seeding will be completed as soon as operations allow. Konig Ag
Company will control the unauthorized release of pollutants to the surface
drainage system and groundwater.
3.1.6 Water — General Requirements: The proposed mining operation will not
have any affect on the prevailing hydrologic balance of the affected land and
surrounding area, nor any affect on the quantity or quality of water in surface and
groundwater systems during and after mining operation. The Operator will
comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
3.1.7 Groundwater — Specific Requirements: The mining operation will not
affect groundwater quality.
3.1.8 Wildlife: See Exhibit H for Wildlife Information.
3.1.9 Topsoiling: See description of topsoiling within this Exhibit. Any
topsoil/overburden stockpiles that are left in place for more than 180 days or one
growing season will be protected from wind and water erosion with the
temporary seed cover proposed in this reclamation plan.
3.1.10 Revegetation: See description of revegetation within this Exhibit.
3.1.11 Buildings and Structures: There are no existing structures on the land and
no structures are proposed.
3.1.12 Sign and Markers: The Operator shall place the required sign and
markers.
3.1.13 Spill Reporting: The Operator shall commit to Notify the Office of any
spill of toxic or hazardous substance, including spills of petroleum products that
occur within the mined land permit area and comply with the requirements of this
section.
(d) We anticipate placing 6-8" of topsoil on all disturbed areas. Following the
application of topsoil, these areas will be ripped with either a dozer with a ripper
bar, a motor grader or a tractor with a chisel plow to eliminate compaction. The
depth of ripping will be consistent with the depth of applied topsoil to ensure that
the quality of topsoil is not diluted by mixing with less desirable subsurface soil
materials. Seeding will be performed depending on when the ripping and topsoil
reapplication operations are completed. Either fall or early spring seeding periods
will be utilized. If the seedbed preparation is completed during the summer or
fall, then seeding will begin in the fall after fall frosts arrive. If the seedbed
preparation is completed during the winter or early spring then spring seeding
will be completed when the soil is dry enough to work, yet still somewhat moist.
The seed mixture will be applied hydraulically along with a wood fiber mulch
and tackifier to ensure seed germination. The seed mixture is as follows:
Species Seeding Rate#PLS/acre
Western Wheat Grass, Arriba 2.40
Green Needle Grass, Lodorm 1.0
Side Oats Grama, El Reno 0.90
Little Bluestein, Native 0.70
Alfalfa, Common 0.40
Since the site is presently devoid of trees, the reclamation plan will not contain
any trees. Native Grasses will be used.
(e) Reclamation will proceed within each mine block as enough space is established
to allow safe equipment circulation and areas for stockpiles. The reclamation will
be completed as follows:
2010-2015 Reclamation of phase 1
2015-2020 Reclamation of phase 2
(0(i) Final Grading— Maximum 3:1 slopes. General grade of 1% along the bottom
of the pit.
(ii) Seeding— See above.
Revegetation— See above.
Topsoiling— See above.
(3) The operator commits to ensuring no livestock will be permitted on site until the
permit or area is released by DRMS.
Rule 6.4.6 EXHIBIT F - Reclamation Plan Map
The anticipated physical appearance of the site following the cessation of mining, is shown on
Map 6, Konig Borrow Pit - Reclamation Plan Map. This map shows the proposed topography of
the site as well as the proposed flow directions of the surface waters on the site.
Rule 6.4.6 Exhibit G — Water Information
(I) The operation is not expected to directly affect surface or groundwater systems.
There is no trace of ground water at the depths in which mining operations will take
place. The pit will be a dry pit with no impoundments. The Porter Stream lies
approximately 950 feet east of the eastern most edge of the proposed mining area.
(2) N/A
(3) Water will only be used for dust control via water trucks.
(4) N/A
(5) The Operator will apply for a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) permit from the Water Quality Control Division at the Colorado
Department of Health. The Operator will supply the Division a copy of the permit
as soon as it is complete.

Preface
Soil surveys contain information that affects land use planning in survey areas. They
highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information about
the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for many
different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urban planners,
community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers. Also,
conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste disposal,
and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand,protect,or enhance
the environment.
Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose
special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil properties
that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions. The information
is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of soil limitations on
various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible for identifying and complying
with existing laws and regulations.
Although soil survey information can be used for general farm, local, and wider area
planning, onsite investigation is needed to supplement this information in some cases.
Examples include soil quality assessments (http://soils.usda.gov/sqi/) and certain
conservation and engineering applications. For more detailed information, contact
your local USDA Service Center(http://offices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/app?
agency=nrcs) or your NRCS State Soil Scientist(http //soils.usda.gov/contact/
state_offices/).
Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are
seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a
foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as septic
tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to basements or
underground installations.
The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States Department
of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the Agricultural
Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources Conservation
Service (NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National Cooperative Soil
Survey.
Information about soils is updated periodically. Updated information is available
through the NRCS Soil Data Mart Web site or the NRCS Web Soil Survey. The Soil
Data Mart is the data storage site for the official soil survey information.

How Soil Surveys Are Made
Soil surveys are made to provide information about the soils and miscellaneous areas
in a specific area.They include a description of the soils and miscellaneous areas and
their location on the landscape and tables that show soil properties and limitations
affecting various uses. Soil scientists observed the steepness, length, and shape of
the slopes; the general pattern of drainage; the kinds of crops and native plants; and
the kinds of bedrock. They observed and described many soil profiles.A soil profile is
the sequence of natural layers, or horizons, in a soil. The profile extends from the
surface down into the unconsolidated material in which the soil formed or from the
surface down to bedrock. The unconsolidated material is devoid of roots and other
living organisms and has not been changed by other biological activity.
Currently, soils are mapped according to the boundaries of major land resource areas
(MLRAs). MLRAs are geographically associated land resource units that share
common characteristics related to physiography, geology, climate, water resources,
soils, biological resources, and land uses (USDA, 2006). Soil survey areas typically
consist of parts of one or more MLRA.
The soils and miscellaneous areas in a survey area occur in an orderly pattern that is
related to the geology, landforms, relief, climate, and natural vegetation of the area.
Each kind of soil and miscellaneous area is associated with a particular kind of
landform or with a segment of the landform. By observing the soils and miscellaneous
areas in the survey area and relating their position to specific segments of the
landform,a soil scientist develops a concept,or model,of how they were formed.Thus,
during mapping, this model enables the soil scientist to predict with a considerable
degree of accuracy the kind of soil or miscellaneous area at a specific location on the
landscape.
Commonly, individual soils on the landscape merge into one another as their
characteristics gradually change. To construct an accurate soil map, however, soil
scientists must determine the boundaries between the soils. They can observe only
a limited number of soil profiles. Nevertheless, these observations, supplemented by
an understanding of the soil-vegetation-landscape relationship, are sufficient to verify
predictions of the kinds of soil in an area and to determine the boundaries.
Soil scientists recorded the characteristics of the soil profiles that they studied. They
noted soil color, texture, size and shape of soil aggregates, kind and amount of rock
fragments, distribution of plant roots, reaction, and other features that enable them to
identify soils. After describing the soils in the survey area and determining their
properties, the soil scientists assigned the soils to taxonomic classes (units).
Taxonomic classes are concepts. Each taxonomic class has a set of soil
characteristics with precisely defined limits. The classes are used as a basis for
comparison to classify soils systematically. Soil taxonomy, the system of taxonomic
classification used in the United States, is based mainly on the kind and character of
soil properties and the arrangement of horizons within the profile. After the soil
scientists classified and named the soils in the survey area, they compared the
5
Custom Soil Resource Report
individual soils with similar soils in the same taxonomic class in other areas so that
they could confirm data and assemble additional data based on experience and
research.
The objective of soil mapping is not to delineate pure map unit components; the
objective is to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that have
similar use and management requirements. Each map unit is defined by a unique
combination of soil components and/or miscellaneous areas in predictable
proportions. Some components may be highly contrasting to the other components of
the map unit. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes
the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The delineation of such landforms and
landform segments on the map provides sufficient information for the development of
resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, onsite investigation is
needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas.
Soil scientists make many field observations in the process of producing a soil map.
The frequency of observation is dependent upon several factors, including scale of
mapping, intensity of mapping, design of map units, complexity of the landscape, and
experience of the soil scientist. Observations are made to test and refine the soil-
landscape model and predictions and to verify the classification of the soils at specific
locations. Once the soil-landscape model is refined, a significantly smaller number of
measurements of individual soil properties are made and recorded. These
measurements may include field measurements, such as those for color, depth to
bedrock, and texture, and laboratory measurements, such as those for content of
sand, silt, clay, salt, and other components. Properties of each soil typically vary from
one point to another across the landscape.
Observations for map unit components are aggregated to develop ranges of
characteristics for the components. The aggregated values are presented. Direct
measurements do not exist for every property presented for every map unit
component. Values for some properties are estimated from combinations of other
properties.
While a soil survey is in progress, samples of some of the soils in the area generally
are collected for laboratory analyses and for engineering tests. Soil scientists interpret
the data from these analyses and tests as well as the field-observed characteristics
and the soil properties to determine the expected behavior of the soils under different
uses. Interpretations for all of the soils are field tested through observation of the soils
in different uses and under different levels of management. Some interpretations are
modified to fit local conditions, and some new interpretations are developed to meet
local needs. Data are assembled from other sources, such as research information,
production records, and field experience of specialists. For example, data on crop
yields under defined levels of management are assembled from farm records and from
field or plot experiments on the same kinds of soil.
Predictions about soil behavior are based not only on soil properties but also on such
variables as climate and biological activity. Soil conditions are predictable over long
periods of time, but they are not predictable from year to year. For example, soil
scientists can predict with a fairly high degree of accuracy that a given soil will have
a high water table within certain depths in most years, but they cannot predict that a
high water table will always be at a specific level in the soil on a specific date.
After soil scientists located and identified the significant natural bodies of soil in the
survey area, they drew the boundaries of these bodies on aerial photographs and
identified each as a specific map unit.Aerial photographs show trees, buildings,fields,
roads, and rivers, all of which help in locating boundaries accurately.

Soil Map
The soil map section includes the soil map for the defined area of interest, a list of soil
map units on the map and extent of each map unit, and cartographic symbols
displayed on the map. Also presented are various metadata about data used to
produce the map, and a description of each soil map unit.

Map Unit Descriptions
The map units delineated on the detailed soil maps in a soil survey represent the soils
or miscellaneous areas in the survey area. The map unit descriptions, along with the
maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit.
A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more
major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named
according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic
class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils.On the landscape,
however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the characteristic variability
of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some observed properties may extend
beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class. Areas of soils of a single taxonomic
class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without including areas of other taxonomic
classes. Consequently, every map unit is made up of the soils or miscellaneous areas
for which it is named and some minor components that belong to taxonomic classes
other than those of the major soils.
Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the
map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called
noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a
particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties
and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different
management.These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components.They generally
are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the scale used.
Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas are identified
by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a given area, the
contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit descriptions along with
some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor components may not have been
observed, and consequently they are not mentioned in the descriptions, especially
where the pattern was so complex that it was impractical to make enough observations
to identify all the soils and miscellaneous areas on the landscape.
The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the usefulness
or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate pure taxonomic
classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that
10
Custom Soil Resource Report
have similar use and management requirements. The delineation of such segments
on the map provides sufficient information for the development of resource plans. If
intensive use of small areas is planned, however, onsite investigation is needed to
define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas.
An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions. Each
description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil properties
and qualities.
Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for
differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major horizons
that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement.
Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness, salinity,
degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the basis of such
differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas shown on the
detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase commonly
indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha silt loam, 0
to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series.
Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas.
These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups.
A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate
pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps.The
pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar in all
areas. Alpha-Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example.
An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or
miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present or
anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered practical
or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The pattern and
relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar. Alpha-
Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas that
could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar
interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion of
the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can be
made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made up
of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil material
and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example.

Rule 6.4.10 Exhibit J — Vegetation Information
(1) (a) The site is vegetated with native grasses and cactus. The cover of this
vegetation is consistent over the site and is sparse, covering approximately 75%
of the land area.
(b) The present vegetation is consistent across the entire site.
(c) N/A
(2) The present vegetation is consistent across the entire site. A note to this affect is

Rule 6.4.11 Exhibit K— Climate
The climate of this area can be characterized as high plains. Grover, Colorado gets 14
inches of rain per year. Snowfall is 33 inches. The number of days with any measurable
precipitation is 73.
On average, there are 235 sunny days per year. The July high is around 87 degrees. The
January low is 13.
Rule 6.4.12 EXHIBIT L - Reclamation Costs
In arriving at the following estimated costs for reclamation, the applicant made some
assumptions based on their current equipment and costs to perform similar load and truck
operations in Weld County.
Equipment to be Used for Final Reclamation. The equipment need for final
reclamation will include bulldozers, scrapers, backhoes, and hydraulic seeders.
Major Phases of Reclamation. Each major phase associated with the final reclamation
is discussed in the following narrative. Where appropriate, the assumptions used to
determine the reclamation time and cost estimates are supplied.
A. Backfilling and Grading of the Borrow Pit Area. A maximum of 17.5 acres of
disturbance will be allowed at one time. Approximately 0.3 acres will comprise the
access road which will be left in place at reclamation for permanent field access. We will
assume a worst case scenario in which all 17.2 acres would require reclamation. The cuts
associated with the mining operations will bring the grade to within 6" to 8" to allow for
topsoil; therefore there will not be any backfilling or grading needed at the time of
reclamation.
The total costs for backfilling and grading the mine pit area is $0.
B. Topsoil Application. The amount of topsoil required to be placed is estimated to be 6"
to 8" thick over 17.2 acres. This equates to 16,187 cy of topsoil. The costs to place
16,187 cy would be $1.80/cy which equals $29,137.
The total costs for topsoil application is $29,137.
C. Revegetation Costs. The revegetation costs for 17.2 acres of disturbed area will consist
of seed costs of approximately $ 30 per acre which equals $516. Seedbed preparation
costs will consist of chisel plowing or deep ripping at a cost of approximately $ 150 per
acre which translates to an estimated cost of approximately $ 2,580. Actual seeding costs
will be approximately $ 50/acre which equals $860. Clean straw or native hay mulch will
be applied at the rate of one ton per acre at an estimated cost of $ 280 per acre which
equals $ 4816.
The total costs for revegetation is $8,772.
Based upon these estimates, it can be determined that the total direct reclamation
costs for this project will be approximately S 37,909.
Rule 6.4.13 EXHIBIT M — Other Permits and Licenses
Colorado Department of Health, Water Quality Control Division. The Applicant will
apply for the NPDES and Storm/Surface Water Discharge Permits through the Colorado
Department of Public Heath and Environment.
Colorado Department of Health, Air Pollution Control Division. The Applicant will
apply for a Construction Permit through the Air Pollution Division of the Colorado
Department of Health.
Weld County Planning Department. The Applicant will apply for a Special Use Permit
to Weld County Planning Department. This is required by the Weld County Planning
Department. Kim Ogle is the contact point at the County.
Rule 6.4.14 EXHIBIT N - Source of Legal Right to Enter
The applicant is the property owner as well as the operator of the proposed Konig Borrow
Pit.
