Danna Ortiz Natural Resources Planner cc: Jeff Gregg, Hall-Irwin Corporation Attachment H:(0636_055\WeIdUSR.WPD SPECIAL REVIEW USE QUESTIONNAIRE Hall-Irwin Corporation This letter in conjunction with the attached DMG Reclamation Permit application will serve as the Special Review Use Questionnaire. Proposed Use of Property Hall-Irwin Corporation is proposing to expand the mining operation at the Firestien property tc include three additional parcels (refer to Extraction Plan Map for locations of the parcels). The applicant will continue to use the existing processing site to process the materials excavated in the expansion area. Truck Traffic Truck traffic is not anticipated to change as the materials will be transported across the site to the processing area rather than using County Roads. All trucks will continue to exit the property on Weld County Road 27. The majority of the trucks will proceed north and continue either on Weld County Road 27 or travel east on "O" Street. Trucks will cross the Weld County Road 21 (83`° Avenue)bridge. Thus, the existing Road Maintenance Agreement is still appropriate for this site. Consistency with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan This application is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. The mining operation will promote the following goals and policies: • CM.Policy l: Access to future mineral resource development areas should be considered in all land-use decisions in accordance with Colorado State Law. No Weld County governmental authority which has control over zoning shall . . . permit the use of.any area known to contain a commercial mineral deposit in a manner which would interfere with the present or future extraction of such deposit by an extractor. This property is situated within one of the principal aggregate deposits in the County. According to the County Sand, Gravel Resources Map, the resource is classified as F1 - floodplain deposit of relatively clean and sound gravel. • CM.Goal 2: Promote the reasonable and orderly development of mineral resources. • CM.Goal 3: Minimize the impact of surface mining on surrounding land uses, roads and highways. The operator has minimized the impact of the mining operation by surrounding the processing area by stockpiles to minimize noise, watering the haul roads and stockpiles as necessary to control dust and by entering into a road maintenance agreement with the County. • CM.Goal 4: Minimize hazardous conditions related to mining activities and the mining site. The applicant will comply with all federal, state and local regulations. • CM.Goal 5: Provide for timely reclamation and reuse of mining sites in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan, Subdivision and Zoning Ordinances. This site will be reclaimed into agricultural land (cropland, fish hatchery, reservoir). These uses are consistent with the County Comprehensive Plan and regulations. Page -I- SPECIAL REVIEW USE QUESTIONNAIRE Hall-Irwin Corporation Consistency with Weld County Zoning Ordinance This applicant will conduct operations in a manner which is consistent with the operations policies set forth in Section 44.4 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance. Compatibility with Surrounding Land Uses The surrounding land uses are primarily agricultural. There are several residences along Weld County Road 641/2. There are other permitted sand and gravel extraction operations in the general vicinity. This amendment will not increase the amount of traffic in the vicinity of the site, nor will it bring the need for additional housing or support services to the area. Compatibility with the surrounding uses will be assured by setbacks, noise limitations and othe- restrictions on the operation. The Weld County Comprehensive Plan does not project future development near this property and it is not in a municipality's urban growth boundary. Method of Mining Operation The applicant will continue to employ the same mining method as permitted in the original USR. Please refer to Exhibits C through F in the DMG application for details of the mining plan and the reclamation plan. These plans also address: the anticipated mining and reclamation schedules, the size of the area and stages to be worked at any one time and the location of stockpiles. Exhibit I describes the depth and thickness of the mineral deposit and the overburden. There will be no permanent structures associated with mining this amendment area. There will be no animals allowed near the mining activities at the site. Equipment The applicant will continue to utilize the same equipment and facilities as permitted in the original USR application: Loaders (2) Mechanic Truck (I) Scale (1) Aggregate Wash Plant (I) Feeders (3) Haul Trucks (4) Staking Conveyor(3) Electric Control Van (I) Screens (2) Scraper(I) Shop Building (I) Asphalt Batch Plant(1) Generators (2) Fuel Tank (1) Office Trailer(1) Concrete Batch Plant i 1) Crushers (2) Fuel Truck (I) Bottled Water Ready Mix Concrete Trucks (25) Conveyors(4) Dozer(1) Portable Toilets (3) Excavator(1) Road Grader(1) Hours of Operation The applicant will continue to comply with the hours of operation set forth in the original tJSR permit. Page-2- SPECIAL REVIEW USE QUESTIONNAIRE Hall-Irwin Corporation Employees The applicant anticipates there will be a maximum of two shifts and forty employees working o❑ the site. Adequate Water Supply The applicant has sufficient water rights for the mining, concrete and asphalt operation. The operation will continue to obtain drinking water from the Shark's Tooth Pipeline. Please refer to Exhibt G of the attached DMG application for details. Sewage Disposal Hall-Irwin will continue to utilize the existing septic system for the scale house and portable unit for the processing area. Stormwater Drainage Hall-Irwin prepared a Stormwater Management Plan per Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, Water Quality Control Division regulations as part of the permitting for the original operation. The operator will continue to follow this plan to manage stormwater. Landscaping/Final Reclamation Refer to the Exhibits E and F for details on proposed reclamation procedures and landscaping. Exhibit D (Mining Plan) contains the mining and reclamation schedule. Adequate Protection of the Health, Safety and Welfare of the Neighborhood and the County The applicant will comply with all conditions of State and local permits thus ensuring the protection of the health, safety, and welfare of the inhabitants in the site vicinity and in the county. Please refer to Exhibit M of the DMG application for a list of permits the applicant is obtaining. Floodplain Hazard Area A portion of this property lies within the Cache La Poudre River floodplain (per FIRM map panel number 080266 0608 D, dated September 27, 1991. Per Sections 53 and 26 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance, a Flood Hazard Development Permit application is included as part of this application. Dust Abatement Plan Hall-Irwin Corporation will continue to comply with the existing dust abatement plan for the Firestien site.

Oil and Gas Activities • Mary Tigges owns mineral rights on parcels 1 and 2. The Extraction Plan illustrates that mining activities will be setback from existing oil and gas wells and gas lines. Exhibit N of the Division of Minerals and Geology 112 Permit application contains the sand, gravel and aggregate mining lease between Mary Tigges and Hall-Irwin Corporation. This illustrates Mrs. Tigges' support of the mining operation. I have also enclosed copies of the certified letters mailed to Brooks Exploration Company and the Jane Ray Dietrich Living Trust (mineral leasehold owner). Neither party has indicated they have any concerns with the proposed mining operation. • Enclosed is an opinion letter from Certified Professional Landman William G. Crews which shows that the Roberts property (parcel 3) does not appear subject to any oil and gas leases. This letter also states that the development of future oil and gas wells "as a practical matter...likely would never happen because 25% of the mineral owners would he paying (and risking) 100% of well costs."

Box 579 Ault, Colorado 80610 RE: Hall-Irwin Corporation's Firestien Use by Special Review Permit Dear Mr. Burroughs: We appreciate the comments you sent to Weld County regarding Hall-Irwin Corporation's proposed expansion of the Firestien mining operation. 1. Adequate adjacent support — We do not anticipate that the mining operation will effect the stability of the Etters' property. On June 20, 2000, Rocky Mountain Consultants, Inc. reviewed exploratory boring data and the mining plans to ensure that the mining operation will not negatively impact any man-made structures within 200 feet of disturbed areas. The findings state: "From a geotechnical standpoint, the sand and gravel will form most of the mine siopes. These soils are generally strong and stable, particularly when dewatered....ln our opinion, gravel mining related disturbances, and subsequent reclamation activities should not impact these structures." I have enclosed a copy of these findings for your information. 2. Proximity to the Estate domestic well— Hall-Irwin Corporation will install a monitoring well on the Tigges property, in proximity to the Estate domestic well for the residences. Hall-Irwin will monitor the groundwater levels closely to ensure that the Estate well is not negatively impacted by the proposed mining operation. In the event that the well is impacted, the operator will be responsible for rectifying the situation. 3. Berms/setback—The operator will place berms along the western portion of each section as it is being mined. Hall-Irwin has committed they will not mine within 25 feet of the property line Again, we do not anticipate any "support" problems. 4. Underground drain tiles — Hall-Irwin will ensure that the drainage which discharges southeasterly into Parcel I continues to flow to the Cache La Poudre River.

You also requested that we address sand and gravel versus oil and gas deretopment concerns. Title to the minerals under the involved parcel is as follows: Richard Weinmeister Undivided 1/8 Dorothy Cagle Undivided 1/8 Marie B. Wagner Undivided 1/4 Robert J. Rotthaus Undivided 1112 Eugene W. Freeman Undivided 1/12 Henry F. Markus Undivided 1/12 William R- 8 Doiores A. Roberts Undivided 1/4 In that certain Warranty Deed dated January 9, 1971, recorded in Book 638 under Rec. No. 1560335, Marie K Weinmeister reserved an undivided ' interest in and to all oil, gas and other minerals under the involved parcel. The reservation went on to state "However, the grantor, her heirs and assigns, hereby release all right to enter upon the surface of said land, or any portion, thereof,for the purpose of conducting exploring, prospecting, drilling, mining, producing and refining operations, or any one or more of them with respect to the within described lands.' This release of surface use is most unusual. In that certain Warranty Deed dated April 10, 1975, recorded on Book 736 1657915, Robert J. Rotthaus, Eugene W. Freeman and Henry F. Markus made their deed to David L. and Elizabeth A. Firestien subject to the Weinmeister reservation and also subject to "Reservation to Robert J. Rotthaus, Eugene W. Freeman and Henry F. Markus, as tenants in common, in and to an undivided one-fourth interest in and to all oil, gas and other minerals under the above described property,' There were no,subsequent mineral reservations; the current surface owners own the remaining minerals. Oct-:5-00 1'149 from 9'0 SS1 086,'- : a9e 2 2 Fist L.ale October 24,201110 page 2 The property does not appear to be subject to any valid oh and gas leases. The Firestein 1-30 well, which was operated by Brooks Exploration, Inc, has been plugged and abandoned, and there is no other well which would have further extended the old Amoco leases under which the Firestein well was originally drilled. Inasmuch as the reservation by Weinmeister does not have surface rights, only the interest of Robert J. Rotthaus, Eugene W. Freeman and Henry F. Markus could present problems with sand and gravel operations. While the Rotthaus et al. parties may be entitled to use a cal matter alikely out of the surface a to drill a ase well 25% develof the mineral owners their would be as a matter it fikefy would never happen paying(and risking) 100% of the well costs. If your clients were able to purchase the minerals from Rotthaus et al. there would be no foreseeable oil and gas activity on the lands. Morrison v. Socolofsky, 600 P.2d 121 (Colo. App. 1979) and other cases cause one to conclude that a mineral reservation by itself does not grant the mineral owner a right to destroy the surface of the land, There must be a specific and express reservation of a right to destroy the surface, and not just a broad reservation of a right to use the surface, Additionally, Ms. Weinmeister specifically excluded surface rights in her reservation. The cases in Colorado make clear that the ultimately dispositive issue is what the parties to the conveyance actually intended. There is no way to determine intention from examination of deeds, and there is no way that one can determine whether contrary extrinsic evidence might exist. We find it hard to believe that the Rotthaus et al. reservation was intended to include sand and gravel, but there is also no way that we can determine whether contrary extrinsic evidence might exist, such as the letter between buyer and seller cited in United States v. 1,253.14 Acres of Land, 455 F2d 1177 (10* Cir. 1972)(Colorado Law). .
