The excavation will be pumped dry after reaching the water table. Mining will proceed from the eastern edge of the property and move toward the west. Topsoil will be stripped by scrapers or front end loaders and stockpiled on locations shown on the -mining plan map Aggregate to be mined will be removed by a -dragline and seposi ted in the area of the processing plant or near the end of the conveyor which will transport the material to the plant site. As mining -progresses westward, the plant will be moved ahead of the mining area. Earthmoving will be conductd in three phases. Phase I will be the removal and stockpiling of topsoil and overburden. Phase Il will late the removal of the aggregate uteri al 5y dragline. Phase III will be the replacement of overburden and topsail . Phases I and II will be conducted by scrapers, front end loaders or dragline. There iEs no water -diversion expected. A drainage ditch which runs through the property from south to north will be allowed to continue to drain into the excavated position of the mi-ning operation and then out of the excavation back into its normal drainage if. flow is sufficient.sn-ough to raise the water level to the assigned discharge level . The maximum area to be mined during a _one year period will be 11 . 5 acres. The plant site will require approximately .3 acres. The access road will -be no more than 2500 feet iDrrg and 2° -feet' will be . or- a maximum area of 1 .4 acres. The area _o= the road disturbance will reduce as the mining moves westward. The timetable o mining will take place in five stages as shown _on the mining map. Each stage is _expected to be f i-r:i shed during pne year -of operation. A strip _approximately 50' X 1200' will be mined each :month. Each stage will be mined from East to West. Overburden and topsoil varies from 0. 5' to 7' with an average depth :f about 2. ' . N ax_i mum depth to the bottom of the aggregate material is 27' . The stratum i mrasd=.ate y beneat.: ti- a material to be mined is the Pierre Shale. D-1 � I- IEI E F;EC€.._P,l 1IT i C!'J F='1_Ati1 Final reclamation will result in a pond approximately 60 acres in size. The remainder of the 72 acres property will be planted with native grasses. -Earthmoving during reclamation will be the replacement of -overburden material to insure the proper slope of the backfill below the waterline. The selection of a pond for reclamation is that there is insufficient material remaining as waste to completely fill the void where gravel was removed. This general area has been used for mining aggregate for a number of years. Some mininc of other pits is contineinc at this time. The end use of a pond and native grasses is also compatible with the general area of wetlands and open spaces that are common to the region. The operator who is also the landowner, does not intend for any of this land to be for public use. Grading Grading will be planned to provide a slope of 3: 1 from the undisturbed terrain to 10 feet below the expected water surface. Where backfilling is required, the operator will insure proper compaction for stability. There are no toxic materials in • the mining area and none will be introduced. There are no toxic or acid producing materials associated with the mining operation. No refuse will be mined. -here will be no drill or auger holes, addits or shafts constructed as a part of the mining operation. Slopes will not exceed 3 horizontal to 1 vertical from the undisturbed lane to 10 feet below the surface w;sere the slope will be no steeper than 2 horizontal to 1 vertical to the bottom of the excavation. Swimming is not to be allowed durinc of after reclamati on. Tecl amati an will rot involve agriculture or horticulture. E-1 Water Disturbance to the hydrologic balance will be minimized by A. Compliance with applicable Colorado water laws and regulations governing injury to existing water rights; M. Compliance with applicable Colorado and Federal water quality laws and regulations; C. Compliance with applicable Federal and Colorado dredge and fill requirements; D. Insuring that no temporary or large siltation structure will be a part of the mining or reclamation plan. -"here will be no earth dams constructed as a part of the mining or reclamation plans. See Exhibit G for further information on hydrolocy. Wildlife -All aspects of the pining and reclamation plan will take into account the safety and protection of wildlife on the mine site. There will be no habitat management as a part of the reclamation plan. See Exhibit H for further information concerning wildlife. Tbpsoilinq Topsoil will be removed and segregated from overburden and gravel . Due to the method of mining, the topsoil will be used for reclamation of the shoreline, generally within 30 to 60 days after removal . Therefore, deterioration is not expected to occur due to chemical or phy-si cal• changes. Woody vegetation which exists on site will be removed and sold as -Firewood. The temper-dry stockpiling (30 to 60 days) of topsoil will be in narrow and low berms. This is a configuration that will protect the topsoil from wind Arid water erosion. The r ininc method and method of topsoil removal and replacement ensure tnimum handl inu. Replacement of topsoil on graded slopes will produce apt=mum tilth for sees application. Compaction will be adequate to provide stability on slopes but not enough to di erupt natural soil structure. The plant-growth medium replacement will be done in an even manner and to a depth between 12 and 16 inches. -Fertilizer or other _cii amendments will be added if determined to be ne=eseary after analysis of composite soil samples. Revegetation The affected area will be reclaimed as rangeland, with the exception of about 60 acres as a pond. Seeding will be by seed drill during late fall or early spring to ensure maximum advan- tage of soil moisture availability when germination occurs. The following seed mix is proposed to ensure the greatest probability cf success and is based an environmental and biological factors common to the site. The mix provides for a diverse and long-lasting vegetation =over. Percent Species lbs.

A significant percentage would be considered 30 percent. I-F mechanical means prove nmt to be adequate, chemical weed killers recommended by a recognized agency or institution, i . e. . Soil Conservation Service, Agricultural Extension Service, etc. , will be used as long a= the recommendation conforms to State and Federal laws. Fire lanes will not be required since the area will not be -forested. No deposit or disposal of refuse is anti oat eC. Ne adverse chemical , physical -or surface features are expected. The implementation of the reclamation procedures and mixes proposed here will provide a pond with properly sloped and stabilized shorelines commensurate with the intended post-mining 1-awtd use. The proposed seed mix will provide a near natural : at_ve plant community exhibiting species rive:-sity and composition. F Timetable Reclamation will be continuous throughout the mining operation. As shoreline is created (eastern edge -first) , and the mining progresses westward, the topsoil will be replaced along the banks and seeded as soon as practical . The first year, approximately 2200 lineal feet of shoreline will be created and approximately 1000 feet per year (500' north and 500' south) until the fifth year when about 2200 feet will be exposed and reclaimed. Final grading will be a 3h: lv slope from the undisturbed area to 10 feet below waterline. Seeding, fertilization, revegetation and topsoiling have been previously discussed in this section.

Presently, the Vary Construction Company' s gravel pit presents a significant disruption of the adjacent wildlife communities. The proposed site is bounded on the west by County Road 13 and generally on the north -by St. Vrain Creek. Tthe east and south boundaries -are agricultural lands and associated practices. Due to the past and present disturbances, impacts on existing wildlife populations are expected to be minimal . The planned removal of several cottonwood trees adjacent to St. Vrai n Creek will impact avian species and that protion of the wildlife community that may use the cottonwoods for security, thermal cover, or both. The following species list is the probable wildlife that would be most expected to inhabit the proposed mining site. Due to -the weather conditions, the =site review did not provide sitinge of possible inhabiting speci-es and many of the species listed were obtained by literature revi-ew.

The =all owing Reptilian and AmbhLbi an species can looically be expected to breed in the area, however, their existence was not substantiated.

The general effect on the -possible existence of any populati-on of the above listed species is not expected to be significant. Mining has been occurri-ng in the area for several years. Obviously the smaller rodents are going to be displaced and it is quite likely some will be ki 1 1-ed as their burrows are excavated. However, the populations of burrowing rodents are r-ot expected to -be large due to the -ex i stance of seasonably high ground-water tables. Little impact on the larger wildlife species that may occur such as deer, skunk, coyote, etc. , is expected. It is generally expected that these species are only transitory in the area due to the long-term mi-ning that has occurred. Ultimately, there might -be an increase in watery-owl due to the open ponds, however, the landowner would prefer that this did not occur because of the potential for illegal hu.nti-nq and tres- pass. The landowner does not intend a beneficial use to occur from the existence of the pond. Due to the on going mining operations to the north, seasonal wildli=e use is not expected to change. The existing mining has been occurring long enough so that any prior-to-mining seasonal use has long since been disrupt-ed . The return of rodent populating after mininc is not expected to be significant du,` to the loss of their habitat. Some rodents may move into the reclaimed areas around the pond shorelines. I= this here to happen, then bird popuaticns could also be expected to have a marginal i i cre- se, especially those that prey on the smaller rodents. Deer popula.t i cns, large _arni vor populations, and p:opulatiCris C- the larger roCentia, beaver, nuts_ a, etc. , are not anticipated to increase. XIATE{ IT T irk l= C3'r-i i"t A T I CM'-1 The soils that :occur on this nearly level landscape are generally deep, greater that 60 inches, anal formed in Recent alluvium. Sheet 4 of 4 is a soils map of the proposed permit area delineating the major soils by taxonomic unit and by identi- fied soil series. The indicated soils are underlain by gravels. The gravel averages 20 feet deep throughout the mining area. The soil most plentiful in the permit area is the Aitvan sandy loam. This deep somewhat excessively drained soil has a grayish brown loam surface about ten inches thick. The under- lying material in the permit area is stratified sand ant gravel , available water capacity is low, per;iiability is rapid and surface runoff and erosion -hazard are both low. The other two dominate mapping units are the soils of the taxonomic units of Aquolls and Aquents, and Aquolls and Acuept_. both of these taxonomic units have formed over gravels and are deep (greater than 40 inches) poorly drained soils with loamy or clayey surfaces and underlying horizons. There generally is little pedogenic development between the surface and subsoil , therefore negating the need for "topsoil " separation. The com- plete solum of these soils can be considered "topsoil " or a better term would be plant-growth medium. The Aquolls and Aquent soils have dark -colored soil urns which is suggestive of relatively high organic matter content which is expected considering their formation process. Generally, the profiles are mottles, indicating seasonably high water tables. The water tables can be expected to be near the surface in the spring and four feet or more below the surface iii the lat-e -=ai1 . Soils in the permit area have surface horizons between 10 and 24 inches thick that are considered suitable as plant-growth medium. li i ng the surfaces of these soils should not cause adverse problems and "i-f anything would enhance surface textures, structure, and other physical and chemic-al properties. l-1 EX --1 I E; I T z7 VEi3E� ? I cmi I F•CQFct"iPvr I DrA Generally, the vegetation communities -follow the scil boundary (Sheet 4 of 4) .

Generally, within this soil unit the following native crasser can be expected to have occurred: Switchgrass Penicum v.:rga.um ini angrass Soryha_ trlM patens Sand bluestem r?ndr-,pogon hall ii Sand-reed/grass Cal amovi ' fa i or•g i ol is Sideoats grama Bouteloaa curtipendula Needle-and-thread Stipa ccmata Blue grama eoutel caa rlrac_ 1 i= The estimated ground cover over the other mapping units, (Sheet 4 of 4) is about 55 to 6574. The increase in ground cover over the Altvan loam is due to subirr-igation and a general increase in mesic vegetation types. The 4o . l o'i nc: native vegeta- tive types are expected to occur under undisturbed non-overgrazed conditions: Alkali aacatan S poroho us airoides Prairie cor-dgr-ass Spar tin ptctinta Saltgrass u;isticl:li- stricta Western wheatgrass pgropyron s, ifhi= Big bluestem pndrDpogon g=_rardi J-i Rtsr i ng reclamation, a select rri xture of the above listed species or all soil units would be best suited to the resultant reclaimed site. It would -not seem :practical -to segregate the plant-growth mediums that will result from str:L ppiiig the :surface soils of the three reeegni zed soil mapping _:nits, since the areas to -be reclaimed will have seasonably high water tables. A mix- ture of species common to the Altv-an loam and the other two soil mapping units would stand the greatest probability of successful re+:egetatihr.. Because there i=s little topsoil available from the Altvan series, it seems that the mixing of surface soils from the two soil units on the permit area would be expected. Therefore, it would seem reasonable to assume a ground cover after reclamation of between 45 and 55%. The lower percentage of ground cover (from the 55 to 65% estimated for -the non-Al-tvan soil ) is expected due to the anticipated di4Terence in soil textures 7br mixing and in account i no for drier sites on berms and upper shore lines. Anticipated yields on the current sits has been estimated to be 1 , 800 lbs. /ore on air-dry weight basis. Agricultural croos -such as corn, alfalfa, grasses, beets, etc. , have been common to the sit-e. The evapotransportaticn from these crops could have resulted in high consumptive uses Abf water -since around-water is close to the surface during some of the growing season. Some of these crops, corn and beets, would have • been irrigated. Crops like alfalfa and _grass would have been lees likely to be irrigated, but due to their deep rocting nature, water c onsump}ion could have been quite high. i Ez:x i-I I E I T 1< 3 r-1 1=t-r.. r The ciimatoi:gy rata recorded at the Longmont 2 ESE weather station indicates the average annual precipitation at the site is approximately r2.6 6 inches per year and the -annual mean temperature irs approximately 49 degrees Farenheit.

Planning Commission Denver, Colorado 80203 (303) 866-3581 February 28, 1984 Mr. Michael S. Mullen Weld County Planning Department 915 10th Street Greeley, CO 80631 Re: Dakolios Construction Company Dakolios Pit #1, USR-616:84:12 Dear Mr. Mullen: As requested, we have reviewed the above referenced application for a gravel pit adjacent to the Saint Vrain River east of Interstate 25. A pond will be created by mining. We believe the pond, when reclaimed, will be used by the fish and wildlife that the application indicates exist in the area. Using an impoundment of water for recreational purposes, including fishery and wildlife, has been defined in CRS 1973, 37-92-103, as putting the water to beneficial use. Since the source of water for the pond that will be created by the gravel pit operation is ground water and the ground water will be used beneficially, we require that a well permit be obtained from our office. The well permit must be obtained prior to excavation of the gravel pit. Otherwise, Dakolios Construction Company will be in violation of CRS 1973, 37-90-137. Since the proposed gravel pit would be located in an over- appropriated basin, the well permit could not be obtained until a court approved plan for augmentation has been developed. The correct procedure to obtain a well permit is as follows. Dakolios Construction Company should first file for a well permit with this office. The well permit will be denied since the proposed gravel pit is located in the over-appropriated South Platte River basin. Before receiving this denial, Dakolios Construction Company could submit a plan for augmentation to the Water Court. The augmentation plan should replace the out-of-priority con- sumptive use associated with lake evaporation and any other out-of-priority consumptive uses. Upon the court's approval of the plan for augmentation, this office can issue the well permit. The Water Court can only act upon the plan for augmentation after we have denied the original well permit applica- tion or if we have not acted upon the well permit application within six months. . .......... . Page 2 Mr. Michael S. Mullen February 28, 1984 The application states the landowner does not intend a beneficial use to occur from the existence of the pond. Should Dakolios Construction Company concur and be able to show there is not a beneficial use of the pit water, the evaporation from the additional pond surface area created by mining would be considered a wasteful use of the ground water. Senior water right holders are rightfully entitled to this water. If there was a wasteful use of water, our Division Engineer would order Dakolios Construction Company to cease opera- tions in compliance with CRS 1973, 37-92-S02(2) . Irrigation The o make-up nwaterc forsdustt water from the suppression and washlwater. Dakoliosh -1 be used for ay Con- struction Company cannot use water from this ditch for industrial purposes or as replacement water without approval from the Division 1 WaterlCururtoinoa change of use proceeding. We will review any change of use app augmentation plan in detail when it is filed in the Water Court. The water rights the landowner owns could potentially form the basis of the required augmentation plan discussed in the third paragraph of this letter. In summary, we cannot recoumnend approval of this application until the issues discussed in this letter are addressed. Further, we will order Dakolios Construction to cease operations if our Water Commissioner determines ground water is being exposed or pumped out without a well permit or water is being diverted illegally.
