The proposed pit is adjacent to WCR 120 and WCR 133. The gravel pit operations are planned to be seasonal. This gravel pit will be a dry pit (no water rights issues) on privately-owned land adjacent to the reclaimed Fiscus Gravel Pit. The anticipated pit life is approximately two to four years. Permit application materials have been completed by Public Works staff The anticipated costs include approximately $3000 for the Division of Mining, Safety, and Reclamation permit, $5000 for Weld County USR application, and an estimated $3000 for environmental surveys, for a total of$11,000. What options exist for the Board? (Include consequences, impacts, costs, etc. of options) The typical time frame for gravel pit permit processing through the Division of Mining, Safety, and Reclamation is one year. The County has additional gravel/road base needs for ongoing road maintenance in the vicinity of the Fiscus site; additional nearby resources will reduce trucking time from Greeley area reserves. Alternative private sources may be available at a market cost and would also involve trucking costs.

The proposed pit is adjacent to WCR 120 and WCR 133. The gravel pit operations are planned to be seasonal. This gravel pit will be a dry pit (no water rights issues) on privately-owned land adjacent to the reclaimed Fiscus Gravel Pit. The anticipated pit life is approximately two to four years. Permit application materials have been completed by Public Works staff. The anticipated costs include approximately $3000 for the Division of Mining, Safety, and Reclamation permit, $5000 for Weld County USR application, and an estimated $3000 for environmental surveys,for a total of$11,000. What options exist for the Board? (Include consequences,impacts, costs, etc. of options) The typical time frame for gravel pit permit processing through the Division of Mining,Safety, and Reclamation is one year. The County has additional gravel/road base needs for ongoing road maintenance in the vicinity of the Fiscus site; additional nearby resources will reduce trucking time from Greeley area reserves. Alternative private • sources may be available at a market cost and would also involve trucking costs.

Gravel excavation and processing will be seasonal with stockpiling of gravel for later County uses depending upon the local road repair and construction needs. Excavation and stockpiling volumes are anticipated to be approximately 100,000 tons per year. The Fiscus North site likely has only 2 to 3 years of gravel and sand reserves. b) Topsoil thicknesses at the Fiscus North site are thin,typically less than 6(six)inches. Topsoil will be stockpiled at the location shown on the mine plan map (see Exhibit C). c) The Ogallala Formation gravel deposits proposed to be mined are ridge capping units at the Fiscus North site. Therefore,the thickness of overburden to be removed during gravel extraction is expected to be minimal. Minimal stockpiling of overburden is anticipated. Mined soils unsuitable for construction use will be separated from the mined gravels and may be stockpiled at the site. These soil stockpiles will be utilized for excavation backfill and site reclamation. d) The proposed mining area at the Fiscus North site is the crest of a northeast-southwest trending ridge. The estimated thickness of gravel-bearing zones varies from between 0 and 40 feet thick at the Fiscus North site. The Ogallala gravel deposits at the Fiscus North site decrease in thickness to the north. No high wall mining is anticipated. The mining plan is to remove gravel-bearing zones from the ridge crest;pit • depth will be minimal. e) The enclosed mine plan map shows the proposed locations for the haul road,gravel processing (crusher location), soil and gravel product stockpile areas(see Exhibit C). f) The dimensions of any significant disturbances are shown on the mine plan map as`limit of gravel mining area' and the gravel processing and soil stockpiling areas (see Exhibit C). g) Weld County Road 120 extends east-west along the north edge of the Fiscus North site(see Exhibit C). The gravel excavation and processing areas will be accessed from an existing dirt driveway that connects the Fiscus homestead to Weld County Road 120. h) The southwestern corner of the Fiscus North property is traversed by a northwest-southeast oriented intermittent stream that is typically dry most months of the year. Mining excavation and soil stockpiling activities are planned to maintain at least a 200-foot buffer from this watercourse. There are no irrigation structures or surface water impoundments existing or planned at the site. Water needs for gravel mining and processing operations are expected to minimal;water for dust control can be obtained and hauled from County-owned wells at other gravel pits. Water used in mining and crushing operations and for dust control is estimated to not exceed approximately 4000 gallons per month during those operations. i) Ogallala gravel deposits at the Fiscus North site lie at the surface along the top of a northeast- southwest trending small ridge (Exhibit C). It is anticipated that no groundwater will be encountered at the Fiscus North site. The Fiscus North site does not lie in a Designated Ground Water basin (per Colorado Division of Water Resources, Office of the State Engineer). • M:\DAVE B\Fiscuspermits\DMG permit\Exhibits.doc 9/21/2007 • j) It is anticipated that sand and gravel excavation,crushing,and stockpiling at the Fiscus North site will not disturb surface water or ground water. Erosion control measures(Best Management Practices) will be installed along the downslope perimeter of disturbed areas and at the south margin of the site to protect the adjacent intermittent creek area from mined area runoff and sediment. k) Any onsite generated trash will be collected in an on-site dumpster and disposed at the County landfill. No chemicals are anticipated to be utilized at the site. I) Best Management Practices, including berms, silt fencing, and straw bales erosion control measures will be installed along the south end of the site to protect the adjacent intermittent creek area from mined area runoff and sediment. Open excavations are not anticipated to be over 30 feet deep, MSHA approved open excavation and fall protection safety measures including fencing and berms will be installed as needed. m) On-site rock crusher machinery will be installed in the"gravel processing"location shown on the enclosed mine plan map (Exhibit C). n) No secondary commodities are anticipated to be extracted or produced at the Fiscus North site. Not asphalt plant or concrete batch plant is planned for the Fiscus North site. o) Gravel and sand extracted from the Fiscus North site will be utilized by Weld County Public Works Department for repair and maintenance of local County roads and other County construction projects. Soils unsuitable for construction may be stockpiled at the site. These soil stockpiles may be utilized for • excavation backfill and site reclamation. M:\DAVE B\FiscusPcrmits\DMG permit\Exhibits.doc 9/21/2007 • EXHIBIT E - Reclamation Plan a) Site reclamation will be sequential as mined areas are completed and revegetated. Sand and gravel excavation,crushing,and stockpiling at the Fiscus North site will commence upon receipt of approval from the Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology. Rock excavation and crushing will be seasonal with stockpiling of gravel for later uses depending upon the local road repair and construction needs. Topsoil stockpiled at the site will be utilized for reclamation following cessation of gravel excavation/mining. b) Reclaimed slopes will be graded at a maximum of three to one (3:1)horizontal to vertical. c) Reclaimed areas will be stabilized by: i) Concurrent regrading on areas of the site where excavation has been completed. ii) Replacement of topsoil in thicknesses equal to or exceeding the original topsoil depths found at the site. iii) Soil amendments,seed mix,and application rate to be determined in accordance with NRCS guidelines and Weld County Weed Control requirements. iv) Local conditions at the Fiscus North site dictate a drought-tolerant native species seed mix appropriate for non-irrigated pasture. iv) Seed mix and application rate to be determined in accordance with NRCS guidelines and Weld County Weed Control requirements. v) Depending on ambient conditions,the application method maybe hand broadcast, hydroseeder, or drill and crimp. vi)Per NRCS guidance,permanent seed cover will be placed in November on final graded areas. • vii) Mulch application may be concurrent with seeding (hydroseeding or drill and crimp). Mulch may include straw and tackifier. d) The reclaimed Fiscus North site is not anticipated to encounter groundwater or surface water and will have no ponds. The mining area access road may be left as-is for the use of the property owner following cessation of mining. e) Reconnaissance of the Fiscus North site indicates that the thickness of overburden to be removed during gravel extraction is minimal. Therefore stockpiling of overburden piles is not anticipated. Soils and waste rock unsuitable for construction materials will be separated from the gravels and may be stockpiled at the site. These soil stockpiles will be utilized for excavation backfill and site reclamation. t) Reclamation,backfill, and seeding estimated costs: • M:\DAVE B\FiscusPermits\DMG permit\Exhibits.doc 9/21/2007 • EXHIBIT F -Reclamation Plan Map Reclamation map See the attached mine reclamation map(Exhibit F)showing the gradient of all disturbed slopes,revegetation areas. It is anticipated that no ponds will be constructed or remain on site. It is anticipated that the average thickness of overburden is minimal, however, overburden and excavated soil materials unsuitable for road construction will be used to backfill excavated areas and for site regrading to stable slopes. Stockpiled topsoil will be placed on re-graded areas prior to seeding with approved native grass seed mixes. • • M:\DAVE B\FiscusPermits\DMG permit\Exhibits.doc 9/21/2007 • EXHIBIT G -Water Information Water Resources There are no FEMA-designated floodplains or floodways in the vicinity of the Fiscus North site. The closest named creek is over two miles away. There are no existing or planned surface water impoundments at the Fiscus North site. Water needs for gravel mining and processing operations are expected to minimal; water for dust control can be obtained and hauled from County-owned wells at other gravel pits. There are no irrigation structures on the Fiscus North property. Outside of the proposed gravel excavation area, a northwest-southeast oriented intermittent stream is located in the southeastern-most corner of the Fiscus North property. As shown on the mining plan,no soil or gravel product stockpiles will be located within 300 feet of this intermittent water course. The proposed excavation areas will be a minimum of 200 feet from this intermittent water course. • • M:\DAVE B\FiscusPermits\DMG permit\Exhibits.doc 9/21/2007 • EXHIBIT H—Wildlife Information Wildlife Potential prairie dog and badger holes were observed in the vicinity of the Fiscus North site. No trees are present to offer roost or nesting sites for birds. Please see the attached report by Tiglas Ecological Services. • • M:\DAVE B\FiscusPermits\DMG permit\Exhibits.doc 921/2007 • EXHIBIT I-Soils Information Soil Description Soils at the Fiscus North site are described in the Soil Survey of Weld County,Colorado—Northern Part published in 1981 by the Soil Conservation Service. Soils at the Fiscus North site include gravelly alluviums (Dix soil—unit 26), arkosic sandy alluvium and colluvium(Blakeland soil—unit 26), and fine sandy and sandy clay loams (Ascalon unit—units 4 and 6). The areas of Dix soils may include very coarse sands, gravel, and rock fragments in excess of 3-inches in diameter. Due to the coarse nature of the Dix soils, the Soil Survey identifies the areas of Dix soils as having good potential for roadfill construction materials with only good quality sand and gravel potential. The 1981 soil survey identifies the areas of Blakeland and Ascalon soils as having good potential for construction materials with only fair quality sand and gravel potential. All soils at the Fiscus North site are described as having rapid drainage characteristics and severe seepage potential due to the high amounts of coarse-size (sandy) constituents. Top soil at the Fiscus North site is sparse and very thin, typically less than 6 inches thick. • • M:\DAVE B\FiscusPermits\DMG permit\Exhibits.doc 9/21/2007 EXHIBIT J—Vegetation Information • Vegetation Description The Fiscus North site is sparsely-vegetated native rangeland with grasses,yucca, and cactus. The Fiscus North site has been utilized as rangeland; the site planned for gravel excavation and processing has not been irrigated or cultivated. No trees are present on the North Fiscus site. • • M:\DAVE B\FiscusPermits\DMG permit\Exhibits.doc 9/21/2007 • EXHIBIT K—Climate Information Climate Description The climate at the Fiscus North site is classified as semi-arid. Summers are characterized by with daily high temperatures of over 90 degrees Fahrenheit dropping to 50 degrees Fahrenheit at night. Winters are characterized by daytime temperatures near the freezing point,nighttime temperatures are typically 10 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit. Annual precipitation is approximately 12 to 14 inches,with summer precipitation coming from localized convection cell thunderstorms. Winter precipitation comes as snow and rain. • • M:\DAVE B\FiscusPermits\DMG permit\Exhibits.doc 9/21/2007 • EXHIBIT L—Reclamation Costs Reclamation Costs: See the attached mine reclamation map (Exhibit F) showing the proposed gradient of all disturbed slopes and the location of revegetation areas. It is anticipated that no ponds will be constructed or remain on site. It is anticipated that the average thickness of overburden is minimal, however, overburden and excavated soil materials unsuitable for road construction will be use to backfill excavated areas and for site re-grading to stable slopes. Stockpiled topsoil will be placed on re-graded areas prior to re-seeding with approved plant type seed mixes. Final site reclamation costs include the cost of native dry land grass seed and mulch application. The mining plan includes concurrent regrading of mined areas. It is anticipated that final grading and placement of topsoils from on-site stockpiles followed by re-seeding will cost less than $10,000. • • M:\DAVE B\FiscusPermits\DMG permit\Exhibits.doc 9/21/2007 • EXHIBIT M—Other Permits and Licenses List of Other Permits: 2.
