Steve Fancher of Loveland Ready Mix also attended the most recent meeting. As a result of these meeting, Loveland Ready Mix has produced reports and a set of plans that address Larimer County concerns. Our joint discussions with the Applicant and Weld County Public Works satisfactorily resolved all design issues,including turn lanes,tapers, and pavement.

The complete set of seven mylar Use by Special Review sheets for this project was transmitted to you on December 21, 2001 under separate cover. Folded paper copies of those sheets are enclosed in this letter for your record, and also included is the fee of $70 (Banks and Gesso, LLC Check number 7668) for recording the seven final USR- 1329 plat sheets. As noted in the December 21st transmittal, this current letter completes the process of documenting that all Conditions of Approval required for plat recording have been satisfied. You may first note that two preious letters have been sent to your attention updating the County on the satisfaction of USR Conditions and transmitting related materials. These Letters, dated July 18 and September 20, 2001, are attached for your reference. From the previous letters, you will note that the following conditions have been previously satisfied: 1, 2A, 2C, 2E, 2F, 2G, 2H, 2J, 2K, and 2N. All mappable features relating to these Conditions (particularly 2C, 2E, 2F, and 2G) are incorporated into the final plat drawings transmitted to the County on December 215'. To complete the County's record of conditions satisfied for plat recording, the following summary is provided for all outstanding items not addressed above: Condition 28. A Flood Hazard Development Permit (FHDP) was applied for in a submittal package sent to your attention at Weld County on December 21, 2001. A copy of this transmittal letter is enclosed for your reference. The Applicant has elected to avoid placing any new structures, parking areas, or other built improvements in the floodplain. Because the Flood Hazard Development Permit is limited to excavation in the floodplain and includes extensive hydrologic anallysis demonstrating no impact to flood conveyances, we anticipate the County'sI approval of the FHDP in the near future. Condition 2D. Execution of Improvements Agreements and posting of appropriate Collateral are required, respectively, by Conditions 2D and 2M. it Loveland Ready Mix Concrete,Inc.,USR-1329,Green/Croissant Sand and Gravel Mine Request for Plat Recording January 3,2002 Page 2 We were initially referred to Donald Carroll of the Weld County Public Works Department for all matters relating to Improvements Agreements.

Following our initial conversations with Mr. Carroll, Lee Farnsworth of the County Attorney's Office was also contacted regarding form of collateral; therefore, in accordance with Mr. Farnsworth's guidance, Loveland Ready Mix Concrete, Inc. is prepared to execute the Improvements Agreements and submit a financial instrument, satisfying Conditions 2D and 2M.

MANAGER: Saud N.B.Whim George Steven Fancher Loveland Ready Mix Concrete, Inc. P.O. Box 299 Loveland, CO 80539-0299 Dear Mr. Fancher: This letter is in response to your request for a water service commitment for one commercial lot, in the location described as follows: PORTIONS OF the NW ''4, SEC.30,T5N,R67W-WELD COUNTY, CO +/- 400' South of WCR 54 along the Fast side of WCR 13. The District provides water service within its service area as defined by the District. The provision of water service by extension of existing water lines of the District to the above property and the installation of taps for lots is done under the terms of the Rules and Regulations of the District established by the Board of the District from time to time. You may obtain a copy of the Rules and Regulations from the District. This letter outlines the provisions of the Rules and Regulations, however this letter does not change any provisions of the Rules and Regulations. The Board of the District may alter and amend the Rules and Regulations at any time, and the provisions of this letter are subject to alteration and amendment based on changes in the Rules and Regulations of the District. We currently have a 6" diameter water line located along Weld County Road 13 with additional capacity available Therefore, we can commit to provide service to the above property, subject to the limitations in this letter, for one standard 5/8" X 3/4" water tap; and the following additional limitations on the provision of water service are: I. In August of 1993 the Little Thompson Board implemented a "system impact" fee of $1050 per tap for all taps to be added to the system. This is due upon application for the tap. 2. All improvements to District facilities required to provide service will be the financial responsibility of the developer in accordance with the District Rules and Regulations. All improvements must conform to District Specifications. 3. There is a $2,000 fire hydrant fee that needs to be paid prior to installation of the fire hydrant. You will be responsible for any improvements needed to meet the required fire flows at your fire hydrant. 4. The Town of Johnstown has asked Little Thompson Water District to provide the service for this location. This commitment letter will expire two years from the date of this letter if the tap has not been purchased, paid for and installed by that date of expiration. The current fee for the domestic 5/8" X 3/4" tap is $14,000.00. As of January 1, 2002 the impact fee will be eliminated and the tap fee will be $18,500.00. YOU ARE HEREBY ADVISED THAT THE RULES, REGULATIONS AND TARIFFS OF THE DISTRICT ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE; AND THIS LETTER IS ISSUED WITH THE SPECIFIC LIMITATION THAT THE DISTRICT MAY CHANGE THE RULES, REGULATIONS AND TARIFFS APPLICABLE TO THE ABOVE PROPERTY AT ANY TIME WITHOUT NOTICE TO YOU OR ANY PERSON.

I wanted to transmit to you a number of documents for the Health Department's files for this property, and to ask for your clearance regarding USR Conditions of Approval for plat recording, if you have not already communicated this to Robert Anderson at the Department of Planning Services as the result of our past submittals. Enclosed you will find three permits from the Colorado Department of Health: a CDPS discharge permit for the site and operations, an APEN (01PO0821) for the concrete plant and associated equipment, and an APEN (01WE0820F) for the site and operations. I have also enclosed two short letters relating to water service at the site, as discussed below. I believe that this submittal and past submittals to the Weld County Department of Health and Public Environment have fully satisfied all USR conditions for plat recording that involve your Department. To review: Condition 2H required the Applicant to obtain all appropriate APENs for the proposed sand and gravel mine. No review or approval is required at the County level by the USR, but copies of these permits are enclosed for your reference. Condition 21 required Loveland Ready Mix Concrete to submit a Dust Abatement Plan to your office for review and approval. This Plan was sent to Weld County Health on September 19, 2001. Please advise us if more information is required, or if the Dust Abatement Plan has been approved and placed on file as submitted. Condition V related to a Vehicle Washing Area Plan, which was submitted to Weld County Health and approved. This Plan was sent to the County Department of Public Health and Environment on September 4, 2001. Loveland Ready Mix Concrete, USR-1329, Satsfaction of Conditions November 19, 2001 Page 2 Condition 2K required the Applicant to submit a Waste Handling Plan for County Health Department approval. Our files show that Robert Anderson was appraised of your approval of this Plan and Condition 2K in an email sent on September 7, 2001. Condition 2L relates to potable water supply, in this case the planned provision of a water tap from the Little Thompson Water District for the on-site facilities. The Use by Special Review conditions do not require any Health Department review of Condition 2L, but, for your information, the enclosed documents show that the Town of Johnstown has officially released the District to allow this tap, and the Applicant has requested a will-serve letter. A Little Thompson Water District service agreement will be forwarded to the Department of Planning Services when it becomes available in the near future. Condition 2P requires the subject property to have Septic Permits for all existing and proposed facilities. On June 27, 2001, the Health Department issued a permit for the existing domestic septic system on the site. On October 1, 2001, the County Health Department issued a permit for the proposed ISDS system that will serve the commercial operations on the site. Please place this letter and the enclosed materials in the Health Department file for USR-1329, and contact me with any questions at 303/274.4277. Since we will soon be submitting the project for plat recording, we would also appreciate it if you would forward any documentation of your final review and clearance of Health Department-related conditions to Robert Anderson (with a copy to me at fax 303/274.8329). Thank you for all your assistance throughout the course of this project.

Colorado 80027-2227 Dear Savage: Based on the authority conferred to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) by the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA), as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), the Service reviewed the Preble's meadow jumping mouse, Zcipits hudsonius preblei, (Preble's) survey report submitted with your letter of August 6. 2001. This report regards the Croissant and Green Properties in Weld County. Colorado (Section 30, Township 5 North, Range 67 West). Given your compliance with the Preble's survey guidelines.-the Service finds the report acceptable and agrees that typical Preble's habitat is not present within the subject area. We note that Preble's has been captured upstream from the site along the Big Thompson River and also downstream near the South Platte River. The Big Thompson River on the northeast portion of the Croissant property may serve as a dispersal corridor (it is apparently not depicted in photos accompanying the report). If even an occasional Preble's is able to traverse such generally unfavorable reaches of habitat along the Big Thompson River, this linkage may prove significant to the remaining Preble's population in Weld County. Thus. the Service concludes that development or other actions on this site should not have direct adverse effects to Preble's provided that a potential for Preble's dispersal along the Big Thompson River is not excluded. Should Preble's populations exist downstream from the site, actions on the site that result in significant modification of Preble's habitat downstream (for example, through alteration of existing flo'\ regimes, or sedimentation) may be subject to provisions of the ESA. If the Service can be of further assistance, please contact Peter Plage of my staff at (303) 275-2370. Since 2.---.____ _eRov \ .

April 10,2001 Dept. of Planning Services Weld County 1555 N. 17th Ave. Greeley, CO 80631 The Division of Wildlife received the request from you agency for comments concerning case USR-1329, Loveland Ready Mix Inc. Division of Wildlife biologists Courtney Crawford and Mike Sherman visited the site and recommend the following. A major portion of the property in question lies in the flood plain of the Big Thompson River. Approximately 1000 feet of the Big Thompson River lies adjacent to this proposal at the east portion of the property. At the present time domestic cattle are heavily grazing the land. The gravel mine proposal indicates that surveys have been completed on threatened on and endangered wildlife species. We recommend that U. S.Fish and Wildlife representatives be contacted in reference to Preble's Jumping Mouse and Ute Ladies' Tresses Orchid. Pete Plage(Preble's)and Jan Mckee(Orchid)may be contacted at 303- 275-2370. Gravel mining activity on this project will have little impact on existing wildlife. Development of ponds or lakes along with proposed wetland mitigation has the potential to improve habitat for waterfowl, shorebirds, amphibians and fish. In order to maximize the site for wildlife and for recreation, reclamation plans for the ponds should include islands, shallow areas and irregularly shaped shoreline with slopes not greater that 4:1. According to this proposal a batch plant-office will be constructed near two existing ponds located in the Northwest portion of the property. Several,large,mature cottonwood trees exist at this location and it is not clear from this proposal if the trees will be removed to make room for the batch plant and adjacent storage piles. The cottonwoods provide nesting and perching habitat for a variety of birds including raptors and songbirds. Considering the ample area available for construction at this location,we recommend that plans be altered so that these cottonwood trees remain in place. DEPARTMEIIR OF NATURAL RESOURCES,Greg E.Wald,Exactas Dina WLDLFE COMNtSSION.Rkk ErWrom.Chet•Robert Shoemaker.Vice-Chdr•Madams Raltopgdos.Samna An alternate reclamation plan map indicates that a residential development is at least being considered along the Southern portion of the property. Some of the lots extend North into an area that has been designated on another map as wetland enhancement. We • highly recommend that the lots be configured so that they do not conflict with wetland enhancement. wetlands are one ofthe most important habitat types in Colorado and should be-preserved-as open spaceaad-not overlap with residential development. Set backs and buffer zones should be planned so that wildlife disturbance is minimal. If residential development is approved, covenants should be in place that requires owners to maintain their property and control domestic pets. Pets running at large are a definite liability to their owners and to wildlife. Residents of this rural development must be aware that they are responsible for their property and that accumulation of trash and junk and outdoor feeding of pets may attract nuisance wildlife such as skunk,raccoon, fox, and cottontail rabbit. The extraction plan map indicates that mining activities(cell 4)will take place adjacent to the Big Thompson River. A small wetland that eventually flows into the Big Thompson River exists within that cell and it appears that it will be mined out. The proposal states that a U.S.Army Corps of Engineers-404 permit will be obtained prior to mining this area. We highly recommend that this be monitored for fixture compliance. The extraction plan map also indicates a 110-foot offset between the Big Thompson River and cell 4. This portion of the river has historically provided valuable resting and feeding area for ducks and geese. Wenrommod a salaam of 200 feet offset ot this location and also recommend that vehicle traffic be rooted as clone to the mining cell as 1 ••The Division of Wildlife appreciates the opportunity to review and comment on this project proposal Consideration Sr wildlife and critical wildlife habitat are essential in minimizing negative impacts on the resource.

Response to Referral Comments In reply to your referral comments for the Weld County USR-1329, Loveland Ready Mix Concrete Inc. project, the following information has been provided: 1. The surveys on threatened and endangered wildlife species have been completed for this project. A Preble's Jumping Mouse and Ute Ladies' Tresses Orchid Species report have been prepared by Savage and Savage and has been forwarded for your review and approval. An additional copy of the report has been enclosed for your records. This report has also been submitted to the Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology as part of its Reclamation Permit application. 2. The reclamation plan incorporates the development of several wildlife ponds and reclaimed wetland areas within the site. The development of ponds with the proposed wetland areas will potentially provide a habitat for wildlife and fish. The Applicant is currently working with local jurisdictions and ultimately the Army Corps. of Engineers to refine the reclamation plan. In this process, the Operator will consider islands, shallow areas, irregularly shaped shoreline and side slopes. 3. There are 19 mature cottonwood and birch trees located near the two existing ponds and existing farmhouse. The proposed concrete plant will be moved thirty feet east, in order to protect 18 of these trees. These trees will be monitored to evaluate their condition to assure their continued growth. One tree will be removed and replaced with three smaller trees to be placed near the east pond. 4. The potential residential/wetland enhancement area and residential development identified on the alternative reclamation plan is conceptual, not a development proposal. Concerns regarding specific lot development, setbacks, buffers and covenants will be addressed during the review of any future development applications that may be submitted to Weld County or the Town of Johnstown, subsequent to reclamation. DOW.Response.Letter July 18,2001 Page 2 of 2 5. The mining activity in Cell 4 proposed to take place adjacent to the Big Thompson River is at least 110 feet from the River, if not more. Mining in this area is not scheduled to take place for at least 10 years, by which time a mitigation program will be established. Because wetland habitat is located in this area, an U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 404 permit will be obtained prior to mining this area. The mining activities in this cell will comply with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers requirements and will be monitored under both the Army Corps. of Engineers and Division of Minerals and Geology's jurisdiction. The wildlife habitat area between cell 4 and the Big Thompson River has been marginally used by waterfowl and will likely be improved with the addition of reclamation pond number four. The proposed setback for this area will be a minimum of 110 feet and will continue to provide habitat for the waterfowl in the area. This concern has been addressed during the Reclamation Permit review process and the Division of Minerals and Geology approved the setback area. Thank you for your comments.

This information has been separated into two categories: (1) Conditions Satisfied provides information that we believe satisfies the condition of plat recordation; and (2) Progress Report provides an update of items that we are in the process of completing in order to satisfy the remaining conditions. Conditions Satisfied 1. The Development Standards approved for this project have been included on the revised plat plan (Extraction Plan Map). Please see the enclosed revised plat plan. 2A. A letter that addresses the concerns of the Colorado Department of Wildlife was sent on July 18, 2001. A copy of the letter has been enclosed for your information. In response to their concerns, the concrete plant has been moved approximately 30 feet to the east to in order to preserve existing cottonwood trees. 2C. The plat plan has been revised to clearly identify all storm water discharge points for the project site. Since the water route of the property will flow toward the Big Thompson River, only two storm water discharge points have been identified for the project site. The primary storm water discharge point is located at the Big Thompson River in the northeast corner of the site. The secondary discharge point is also located at the Big Thompson River in the central east portion of the site. Please see the enclosed revised plat plan. 2E. The Applicant will construct the office parking lot in accordance with surface, sight distance and grading requirements of the Weld County Department of Public Works. A note has been added to the revised plat plan regarding this requirement. DO W.Response.Letter July 18,2001 Page 2 of 2 5. The mining activity in Cell 4 proposed to take place adjacent to the Big Thompson River is at least 110 feet from the River, if not more. Mining in this area is not scheduled to take place for at least 10 years, by which time a mitigation program will be established. Because wetland habitat is located in this area, an U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 404 permit will be obtained prior to mining this area. The mining activities in this cell will comply with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers requirements and will be monitored under both the Army Corps. of Engineers and Division of Minerals and Geology's jurisdiction. The wildlife habitat area between cell 4 and the Big Thompson River has been marginally used by waterfowl and will likely be improved with the addition of reclamation pond number four. The proposed setback for this area will be a minimum of 110 feet and will continue to provide habitat for the waterfowl in the area.
