The Perry Pit operation will provide aggregates for Asphalt
Paving Company' s contracts in the northern Denver metropolitan
area and southern Weld County. The materials to be produced from
the property will be suitable for use in concrete , asphalt,
select fill , drain material and road base . Asphalt Paving
Company will ' operate a portable processing plant on the site ,
consisting of a portable cone crusher and a screening/wash plant.
_ A portable asphalt batch plant will be brought onto the site on a
job-by- job basis . The total acreage of the site is 117 . 61 acres ,
all of which is zoned agricultural .
At present, the property is used as pasture land with some
private hunting use as well . The southwestern portion of the
property appears to have been shallowly excavated at some time in
the past, as the ground level is about two to three feet below
the surrounding land surface . The property does contain some
trees , mainly cottonwoods and willows , along the ditch which
traverses the center of the property. As much as possible , these
trees will be left undisturbed, but it is anticipated that some
of them will need to be removed in the course of mining .
Topographically, the property has very little expression outside
of the Lupton Bottoms Ditch and the South Platte River . Two
power line easements cross the property: one in a north-south
direction on the western portion of the property and one in an
east-west direction on the southwestern portion of the property.
No mining is planned for these easements , although they may be
used for overburden, topsoil , or product stockpiles .
Barrett Energy has a gas well and accompanying facilities on the
property, located north of the proposed asphalt plant site .
Mining will maintain a minimum of 50 foot setback from these
— structures. The Lupton Bottoms Ditch that traverses the center
of the property will have a setback of 50 feet from each side of
the ditch edge .
The access road to the mine and plant site will be left after
mining is completed to provide access to the gas well as the
present access will be mined in Phase III . The acreage involved
with this road is not included in disturbance calculations .
The topsoil on the site is about one foot thick with overburden
— about three feet thick. Overburden consists of clay and loam.
Sand and gravel underlying the overburden is from 25 to 30 feet
thick. The underlying bedrock consists of shale and claystone .
The depth of ground water is estimated to be about 4 to 5 feet.
The pit will be mined in a wet fashion using a dragline or
backhoe in three phases . Mining will commence at the southeast
end of Phase I and work north and northwest so as to create
— minimum impediment in the South Platte River floodplain .
Overburden material , topsoil , and some product material from
Phase I will be stockpiled separately to the east of the pit area
and possible on the power line easement. The stockpile will be
oriented with the flow direction of the river, in order to
prevent any change in the characteristics of the river
floodplain . As soon as enough working area is established,
reclamation will commence and proceed concurrently with mining .
Mined material will be hauled to the processing plant with trucks
or a portable conveyor system. Phase I is expected to take four
to seven years . In this and all phases of mining , temporary
small stockpile areas will also be utilized around the perimeter
of the mining area.
Phase II , located on the southwestern portion of the site , will
be mined after Phase I . The stockpile area for this phase will
be north of the mine areas. Mining will commence at the
southwest end of this phase and proceed north and northeast.
Phase II is expected to take three to five years .
Phase III , located on the northwestern portion of the property,
will be mined last. The stockpile area for this phase will be
located to the northwest of the pit area . Mining will proceed
_ from the northwest to the southeast on this phase . Phase III is
expected to take form three to five years . In all phases ,
topsoil will be removed and stockpiled separately from
overburden .
Maximum disturbance associated with the mining is classified as
follows :
Maior Disturbance
Mining 5 . 0
Stripped 3 . 0
Topsoil Stockpiles 1 . 0
Overburden Stockpiles 3. 0
Moderate Disturbance

TOTAL DISTURBED ACREAGE 32 . 0
The area mined on an annual basis will vary with market demand
and locations of contracts, but it is anticipated that about six
acres will be mined each year and that the site will require 10
to 17 years to be mined out.
Equipment used for mining will include :
Hydraulic Excavator or Dragline
Bulldozer
2-3 18-wheel haul trucks
Scraper for stripping
Portable conveyor system
Grader
Processing equipment will include :
Portable asphalt with oil tank, generator, trailer
Portable screen and washing unit, parts trailer
Portable cone crusher
2 loaders

Reclamation of the Perry Pit site will be as pastureland with
lakes created by the extraction of the sand and gravel resource .
It is also anticipated that the creation of the lakes will
enhance the wildlife habitat presently found in the riparian
river bank area. The three lakes that will be created will have
a total water surface area of 57 . 7 acres .
Final sideslopes created in the lakes will be in the accepted 3 : 1
and 2 : 1 configuration required by the Mined Land Reclamation
Regulations . Overburden and topsoil stockpiles will be seeded
with wheatgrass if they remain longer than one growing season.
- No mining will take place within 100 feet of the South Platte
River, so the riverbank as well as dikes along the river will
remain undisturbed .
It is anticipated that the mining operation will not consume more
than six acres per year and reclamation will immediately follow
mining along the shoreline . The stripping ahead of the mining
will involve no more than three acres at any one time . There
will also be another five acres which will have undergone seeding
but will not have been released from financial warranty. Exhibit
L presents a cost breakdown for each component of reclamation.
The following remarks are in response to Rule 6 , Reclamation
Performance standards .
6 . 1 Grading
- a) Grading will be carried out to create a topography
appropriate to the final land use, which is pastureland.
_ b ) Grading will be continuous and uniform, and will be
performed to minimize erosion and siltation. Land outside
of the disturbed area will not be affected by mining
operations . There will be no highwalls left on this site .
Slopes will be no steeper than 3 : 1 above the water and ten
feet below the water with 2 : 1 slopes in water deeper than
ten feet.
c ) Grading and topsoiling are to be a contemporaneous operation
with the mining process .
E-1 91.0052
- d) No acid-forming or toxic producing materials are known to
exist in the materials to be mined . Refuse will not be
generated on the affected land nor will any refuse be
disposed of in the mining process .
e ) No auger holes or shafts are associated with this operation.
- f ) Slopes will be graded to be compatible with the final land
use . Swimming facilities are not included in the
reclamation plan.
g ) None of the reclaimed land will be used for horticulture .
6 . 2 Water
a ) The mining operation is expected to have a minimal lowering
of the groundwater table in the vicinity. No detriment to
- existing wells is expected. Exhibit G further addresses
the impact on the site ' s hydrologic balance .
_ 1 . This operation will be in compliance with applicable
Colorado Water Laws and Regulations regarding injury
and existing water rights .
2 . The operator will comply with Federal and State
regulations governing water quality. No discharge is
anticipated from the property.
3 . There are no dredge and fill requirements that pertain
to this site .
4. This operation will not require siltation structures in
drainageways .
b ) No earthen dams or impoundments are necessary at this site .
6 . 3 Wildlife
a) Impacts on local wildlife populations are expected to be
minimal . No valuable or unique habitat will be disturbed .
b ) Enhancement of wildlife habitat is expected upon reclamation
at this site . Existing wildlife habitat is not anticipated
to be greatly affected during the mining operation because
riverbank wetland areas will not be disturbed.
91.0062
E-2
6 . 4 Topsoilinq
a ) Overburden and topsoil will be scraped, stockpiled and
seeded if left more than one growing season.
b ) Where practicable , trees on the site will remain
undisturbed , however, it is anticipated that some trees will
need to be removed during mining Phases I and III . Any
trees that are removed will be put to an appropriate
beneficial use .
c ) The stockpiles will be placed just outside the pit area.
The area of the stockpiles has been considered in the
calculation of affected area.
d) The final surface will be graded to insure stability of the
pit side slopes.
e ) The existing overburden and topsoil are an adequate growth
medium with fertilizer.
f ) Soil amendments will be added as deemed necessary.
g ) No vegetation piles are anticipated.
6 . 5 Revegetation
a) Revegetation with native species is part of the reclamation
plan.
b ) No portion of the area will be reclaimed as forest land.
c ) The choice of reclamation for this site is as pastureland.
The slopes will be a maximum of 3: 1 , gentle enough for
-- livestock and wildlife to traverse . Seeding will be done by
either broadcasting or drilling.
_ d) Environmental factors have been considered in the chosen
reclamation plan. Slopes will be adequately stabilized by
compaction during the grading operation. Further surface
stability will be provided by mulching and the vegetation as
it becomes established. Us„e as<pasttusa in revegetated aaas+
will not lyelAii until ^ ,tire vegeCattnn has become weir
estab1i3t C
e ) All proper methods and techniques normal to site preparation
and protection for agriculture will be followed in order to
establish vegetation in accordance with the reclamation
plan.
E-3 9100669;
f ) Mechanical weed control shall be used at the site in order
to protect native species from herbicides .
q ) Fire lanes are not necessary due to the lack of forest
cover .
h) The plant site will be scarified and reseeded along with the
rest of the site upon completion of mining.
i ) No adverse surface characteristics are expected. The area
topography is relatively flat. Reclamation will be done to
match existing conditions where practical .
The following Reclamation Plan is based on recommendations for
the area by the Soil Conservation Service .
1 . All mined areas will meet Mined Land Reclamation Division
requirements for sloping of 3 : 1 above the water line and ten
feet below the water line with 2 : 1 below that.
2 . Topsoil will be segregated and stockpiled separately during
the mining of the property. If topsoil stockpiles are left
more than one season, they will be seeded with Fairway
wheatgrass at the rate of six pounds per acre of Pure Live
Seed .
3 . Overburden will be redistributed over stripped areas to an
approximate depth of two feet.
4 . Topsoil will be redistributed over any disturbed areas above
water level to a depth of 6" to 12" .
S . Either a cover crop will be planted to stabilize the soil
prior to seeding or mulching will be done immediately
following seeding.
6 . If the cover crop method is used, a hybrid forage sorghum
-- will be planted at the rate of ten pounds per acre of Pure
Live Seed in 7" to 12" row spacings . This seeding will be
done in May or June . Grass would then be seeded directly
into the forage sorghum the following fall season.
7 . If the mulching method is used, hay or straw mulch will be
applied at the rate of 4000 pounds per acre immediately
following seeding . The mulch will be crimped into the soil
or otherwise stabilized to control erosion until the grass
becomes established.
E-4
8 . Fertilizer will be applied at the rate of four pounds of
nitrogen and forty pounds of phosphorus per acre .
Fertilizer will be applied just prior to or during seeding.
9 . Grass seeding will be done between November 1 and May 1 .
When practical , seeding will be done in the fall..
10 . The seed mix to be used for reclaiming this site is as
follows :
GRASSES % OF MIX SEEDING RATE'
Salado Alkali sacaton 20 0 . 3
Lovington Bluegrama 10 0. 3
Vaughn Sideoats Grama 30 2 . 7
Arriba Western Wheatgrass 40 6 . 4
- . equals pounds per acre of Pure Live Seed
11 . Initial weed control will be accomplished by mechanical
means . Weeds will be mowed when they are 6" to 8" high.
Care will be taken to avoid clipping off the tops of the
newly seeded grass. After the first growing season,
appropriate herbicides may be used in weed control . Any
chemicals used will be in accordance with the manufacturer' s
labeling.
12 . No grazing will be allowed in the reclaimed and seeded areas
until the vegetation is well enough established to allow
such use .
13. Clusters of trees and shrubs will be planted on the property
during reclamation. The trees and shrubs to be used will be
selected from the following lists :
TREES SHRUBS
Russian Olive Antelope Bitterbrush
Siberian Elm • Fourwing Saltbush
Green Ash Hansen Rose
Hackberry Rabbit Brush
Cottonwood Siberian Peabush
Eastern Red Cedar Tatarian Honeysuckle

RE : information for gravel mining request on : and owned
by Mr . Edward Perry
Dear Mr . Ballard :
- The following is information you requested on land in Weld County ,
Colorado , in part of Section 25, Township 1 North , Range 67 West, and
Section 30, Township 1 North , Range 66 West.
SOILS INFORMATION: Soils for the area requested , according to the
Soil Survey of Weld County , Colorado , Southern Part, are mapped as (3)
Aquolls and Aquents , gravelly substratum. This covers most o£ the
- area . One very small area east of the Platte River is mapped as (10>
Bankard Sandy Loam, 0 to 3 percent slopes . Another small area near
Wattenberg on the west side of the property is mapped as ( 1) Altvan
- loam, 0 to 1 percent slopes . For more information please refer to
Sheet #30 of the Soil Survey of Weld County , Colorado , Southern Part .
A copy of the detailed soil description is attached . For more infor-
mation on soils see the soil survey . A copy can be obtained from this
office .
- VEGETATIVE INFORMATION: It appears that this area has been overgrazed
for some time since very few native plants exist on the property . The
property is presently being grazed by cattle . Grasses , grasslike
_ plants , forbs and a few trees can be seen on the property . Grasses
inventoried consisted of mostly Saltgrass , Cheatgrass , and Western
Wheatgrass . There were smaller amounts of Bluegrass , Quackgrass ,
Intermediate Wheatgrass and Smooth Bromegrass . Grasslike plants con—
sisted of sedges , rushes and cattails .
Most of the vegetation , at the time of the inventory consisted of
forbs . These broadleaf plants consisted mostly of Musk Thistle ,
Canada Thistle , Murdock and Whitetop with lesser amounts of Bull
Thistle , Pepper Weed , Dandelion , Bindweed , Mustard , Lambs Quarter,
Purple Top , Licorice and Clover .
There were a few trees on the property . They were Cottonwoods , Willow
and Chinese Elm.
On the land area in the SE 1/4 , NE 1/4, Section 25, Township 1 North ,
Range 67 West. Vegetation consists of mostly cattails , sedges , rushes
_. and other wetland vegetation.
Before this land is disturbed , you should contact the Colorado Divi —
sion of Wildlife , U.S. Fish and Wildlife and Corps of Army Engineers
for their wetland determination . 91.00S2

RECLAMATION PLAN:
1 ) Slopes : During mining operations , cut or fill slopes should not
exceed 3 : 1 slopes (3 horizontal to 1 vertical ) . Cut slopes should be
scarified a minimum of three inches deep prior to placement of any top
soil material .
2) Top Soil : During mining operations , topsoil shouid be stockpiled
_ to be used in reclamation of the area. Stockpiled topsoii should be
protected from wind erosion . After mining operations are completed ,
the area should be shaped and graded with no slopes exceeding 3: 1
above water level and for at least ten feet below water level . Below
— ten feet , slopes could be 2 : 1 . After scarifying , topsoil should be
spread six inches to one foot thick over any disturbed area above
water level , except where buildings may be built. A seedbed should be
prepared before the soil is seeded to adapted vegetation . For more
information on seedbed preparation contact this office .
3) Cover Crop : After topsoil has been spread over disturbed areas
and a seedbed has been prepared , the reclaimed area should be seeded
to a cover crop . Hybrid forage sorghum is a recommended cover crop .
Seeding snould be done in May or June at the rate of 10 pounds per
acre of Pure Live Seed (PLS> in 7" to 12" row spacings . Grass
can be seeded directly into the forage sorghum, see item 6 below.
See item 4 below as mulching can be used instead of seeding a cover
crop .
4) Mulching : After seeding is completed , approximately 4000 pounds
per acre of straw or hay mulch should be applied . This mulch should
be anchored . One method is to use a straw crimper and " crimp " the
mulch into the soil . This should help to control erosion until the
grass becomes established . See attached SCS Standards and Specifi —
cations for Mulching .
5) Fertilizer: A soil test should be taken to determine fertilizer
recommendations before seeding grass . In the absence of a fertilizer
test, then forty pounds of nitrogen and forty pounds of phosphorous
per acre should be applied just prior to or during seeding of the
area. The fertilizer should be mixed into the soil .
6) Grass Seeding : Grass seeding should be done between November 1
and May 1 . Fall seeding is preferable . Seeding should not be done on
frozen soil . The seedbed should be firm and weed free . Seeding
should be made into a cover crop as discussed in item 3 above . When a
cover crop is not used , after the land is seeded to grass , it should
be covered with a mulch , see item 4 above . The following seeding
recommendation can be changed in consultation with SCS and the
Colorado Mined Land Reclamation , phone 866-3567.
The following is a seeding recommendation .

Arriba Western wheatgrass 40 6 .4
+ = Pound per acre of pure live seed
Page 3
Stockpiled topsoil (when it will be stockpiled over two years) should
_ be seeded to Lincoln Smooth Brome at the rate of 13 pounds per acre of
pure live seed , or Fairway wheatgrass at the rate of 6 pounds per acre
pure live seed . This rate is for a grass seed drill . If broadcast
seeding is used the seeding rates should be doubled . Grass should be
planted using a grass seed drill with agitators in the drill box,
double disc with depth bands and packer wheels . Ninety—five percent
of the seed should be planted at a depth of 1/2 inch to 2/3 inch .
_ Short term stockpiled topsoil could be protected with a cover crop or
mulch .
7) Weed Control : Weec control is necessary to insure a successful
seeding . Weeds can be controlled by mowing or spraying chemicals .
Mow weeds when they are 6 to 8 inches high , leaving a 3 to 4 inch
stubble . Do not clip off the top of the newly seeded grass . This
should be done for the first and possibly the second growing season .
After the first growing season and the seeded plants have reached the
four leaf stage , then appropriate herbicides may be used to control
weeds . Any chemicals used will need to be used according to
manufacturer ' s labeling .
8) Grazing : The area should be protected and grazing should be
prohibited .
9) Trees and Shrubs : Some trees and shrubs that could be included in
the revegetation of the area, above water level , are as follows :
conifer trees could include Eastern Red Cedar , Rocky Mountain Juniper,
Ponderosa Pine , and Scotch Pine . Deciduous trees that could be
included are Russian Olive , Siberian Elm, Green Ash , Hackberry , and
Cottonwood . Shrubs that are adapted include Antelope Bitterbrush ,
Fourwing Saltbush , Hansen Rose , Rabbit Brush , Siberian Peabush ,
Tatarian Honeysuckle , Skunkbush , Sumac , and Lilac .
10) Structures : Any water inlet or outlet from an excavated area
should be protected with an adequate structure to prevent erosion . An
inlet area would need a drop structure to allow the water to enter the
excavated area without causing erosion. Depending on pond size after
gravel is removed , rip—raping may be needed to protect banks from wave
action .
11) Some river bank erosion has occurred along the South Platte
River . Streambank protection may be needed and it should start at a
stabilized or controlled point. Streambank protection should start at
a depth well below the anticipated lowest depth of river bottom
scouring . A berm between the river and pits where gravel material is
removed should be built and it should be wide and high enough to
prevent the bank from cutting by overtopping during a flood . Vegeta—
tive protection should be considered on the berm and upper parts of
the river bank . The channel capacity of the river should also be
maintained . A 404 permit will need to be obtained from the Corps of
Army Engineers for any river bank work .
Excavation should be maintained at an appropriate setback distance
between the South Platte River, property lines , and Lupton Bottom
Ditch . This is to prevent any possible sloughing of banks that would
disturb the adjoining property or water courses . Setback for the
different items mentioned above may be different. Cli ff11 3?

WATER INFORMATION
The Perry Pit will be mined by wet methods which will allow the
groundwater to flow through the pit and create a minimal
disturbance to the prevailing hydrologic balance .
SURFACE DRAINAGE
The area surrounding the property is mainly agricultural with the
exception of the unincorporated community of Wattenberg to the
west which somewhat impacts drainage onto the property. The two
main surface drainage features on the property are the Lupton
Bottoms Ditch and the South Platte River. Runoff from the
property flows into these features .
The Lupton Bottoms Ditch has two branches on the property; the
main channel which runs approximately north-south; and a seep
branch which enters the main channel in about the middle of the
property. A 50 foot plan,
ttfrom the edge of ttt1he ditch is
withine200nfeet mining h ditch without annagreel �itw�JiLhte1s B te�i
company. Two measures will be taken to monitor and protect the
flow of the ditch.
1 . Gauges will be placed on the main ditch channel to determine
if there is any significant problem with water moving out o
the ditch and into the pit area. Should this be determined
to be the case , an equivalent volume of water would be taken
from the pit and put back into the ditch on the north end of
the property.
2 . A monitoring well will be placed just upgradient from the
seep ditch on the corner of the property south of the house
to be used as the site office. This monitoring well will be
used to determine if there are any significant disruptions
of groundwater flows to the seep ditch.
The South Platte River is another major drainage feature on the
property. The gradient of the river is 10 to 15 feet per mile
— and the channel width varies from 50 to 200 feet. The meander
length of the river varies from 1 , 500 to 2 ,000 feet.
The entire Perry Pit property lies within the 100 year floodplain
of the South Platte River. The mining on the property will not
impact the floodplain. Erosion that may occur during a major
flood would be contained within the pits on the property. In
"- order to direct flood flows during a major event and to minimize
any flood erosion damage, the following measures will be
undertaken: {�
�3Pd
G-1 ?1
1 . The existing diking on the property along the South Platte
River will be retained . This will maintain the present flow
profiles during any significant flooding .
2 . Stockpiles associated with the mining and processing will be
aligned as much as possible with flood flow directions in
major events . •
3 . No mining will take place within 100 feet of the South
Platte River to preserve a buffer between the pit and the
river.
4 . Floodwaters entering the property will merely flow into the
_ pits on the property, overflow the pits and spread out at a
low velocity and flow down the floodplain.
GROUNDWATER
The Perry Pit will be operated using wet mining methods which
will allow groundwater to flow through the pits during mining
creating a minimal impact to groundwater levels. Any drawdowns
associated with the mining of the Perry Pit will be small and
very limited in areal influence .
- Accompanying this exhibit is a list and map of wells near the
Perry Pit property. Many of these wells are shallow alluvial
wells with a junior appropriation. None of these wells are
expected to be impacted by the operation due to the wet mining
methods which will only produce a small drawdown in a very
limited area. The only item that may be impacted by the mining
is the seep ditch branch of the Lupton Bottoms Ditch. As
proposed earlier, a monitoring well will be constructed to
observe any changes in groundwater flow levels to the seep ditch.
- The integrity of water flow in the channel of the South Platte
River will be maintained with the 100 foot minimum setback from
the river proposed by the mining plan.
WATER USAGE
Water consumption from the mining operation will come from the
following components :
Moisture loss in material
The proposed operation is expected to process approximately
300,000 tons of sand and gravel per year. The average moisture
content of this material at the time of shipping is approximately
4% . This would be equivalent to 8. 8 acre-feet per year.
G-24'�?fi
Wash Water
Washing operations will require approximately 1 , 500 gallons per
minute . This water will be stored in a series of sediment ponds
and will be recycled. Preliminary estimates on consumption are
1 . 0 acre-feet per year.
Dust Control
Dust control will require the watering of haul roads at specified
intervals . The proposed operation will located the portable
screen/crusher adjacent to mining operations , reducing the amount
of haul roads to be used. Both the access and haul roads will be
watered to control dust. The watering will mainly be done during
the dryer months of May through September and at other times as
needed. The average application to the area would be about 4 , 000
gallons with a minimum of three applications per day being made
for about 80 days per year. This would equate to about 2 . 9 acre-
feet per year.
Lake Evaporation
-- The Perry Pit operation will create three open water bodies with
a total of 57 . 7 acres of surface area. This amount could be
reduced by backfilling some of the lake areas with overburden or
_ other appropriate materials . The average annual evaporation in
this area is about 30 inches per year.
This property is located on the floodplain of the South Platte
River and may claim some historic consumption based partial
subirrigation of the parts of the property, less the historic
precipitation. Projected evaporation losses are summarized on
the following table :
Total
Evapor- Subirrigation Effective Net Net
Phase ation Use Precipitation Evaporation Evaporation
I 30" 24" 11" 17" 46 . 3 ac-ft.
— II 30" 27" 11" 14" 13. 4 ac-ft.
III 30" 24" 11" 17" 19 . 1 ac-ft.
TOTAL 78. 8 ac-ft.
If these figures are assumed to be correct, the incremental use
created by the lake evaporation totals 78. 8 acre-feet.
G-3
A summary of the consumptive uses associated with the mining
operation is as follows :
Moisture Losses 8 . 8 acre-feet
Wash Water 1 . 0 acre-feet
Dust Control 2 . 9 acre-feet
Lake Evaporation 78 . 8 acre-feet
TOTAL ANNUAL WATER CONSUMPTION 91 . 5 acre-feet
Phased Consumption
Although the total demand for water will be 91 . 5 acre-feet, this
demand will not be realized until the project is substantially
complete. Lake evaporation is the only use that will continue
after the project is completed. The operator will reserve the
right to backfill portions of the mined areas to reduce the total
amount of lake acreage .
Water Rights
In the lease of the land from the property owner, the operator
has secured the use of one share of stock in the Brighton Ditch
Company. The yield of this share will adequately cover the water
consumption.
NPDES Permit and Water Quality
The proposed operation will not directly discharge to the South
Platte River. All wash waters that will be us e4 in the
processing portion of the project will be recycled and wi71 not
be discharged to the river. Since there is no direct discharge ,
an NPDES Permit is not required for the operation.
The proposed operation is in conformance with Colorado State
Water Quality Regulations . There will be no adverse impacts to
_ surface or groundwater due to the mining operation.
U . S . Army Corps of Engineers 404 Permit
The proposed operation is not located in the stream channel of
the South Platte River. The operation does not plan to discharge
fill materials to waters of the U. S . Therefore , a 404 permit is
not required for this operation.

WILDLIFE INFORMATION
This site is located along the South Platte River and has a low
- land riparian ecosystem. The main habitat areas would be along
the river, the Lupton Bottoms Ditch and in the cottonwood and
willow trees near the ditch . The site proposed for mining is
presently used as unirrigated pastureland and has no intact
stands of native vegetation.
Key wildlife species expected on the property could include mule
deer, whitetailed deer, red fox, raccoon, skunk, beaver, muskrat,
fox squirrel , prairie dog, waterfowl , great horned owl , marsh
hawk, swainson ' s hawk, great blue heron, black-crowned night
_ heron, snakes , turtles , frogs , and toads .
Our inspection of the site revealed no endangered or threatened
species . At the time this application was put together, site
evaluation information from the Department of Wildlife was still
pending, but will be made part of this application as soon as it
is received.
In order to minimize the effects of the mining operation on the
wildlife , the following measures will be taken :
1 . To the extent possible , the mining will minimize the removal
of trees on the property. The best stand of trees on the
property is located between the two branches of the ditch,
an area that will not be disturbed by mining.
2 . The riparian habitat along the South Platte River will not
be disturbed by mining.
3. The Reclamation Plan proposes the planting of clusters of
trees and shrubs to serve as wildlife habitat and food
sources .
4 . It is anticipated that the lakes created by the mining and
reclamation will enhance the wildlife habitat on the
property. Slopes will be constructed at a maximum of 3 : 1
above the water and to ten feet below the water in order to
facilitate access to the water' s edge by wildlife.
5 . The depth of the lakes will be from 15 to 20 feet and will
be available for warm water fisheries . Stocking the fish is
not proposed in the reclamation plan nor will the lakes be
available for public fishing.

Name/Type and Location of Mine (Legal) Sec. 30, T1N, R66W, Weld County
- Wildlife Species list: Deer, coyote, fox, beaver, muskrat, rabbit, raccoon, opossum,
skunk, mink, weasel, pheasant, waterfowl, shorebirds, raptors,_ magpie, dove, heron
and numerous small rodents and seasonal songbirds.
Endangered/critical species/impacted: No known threatened or endangered species.
Critical habitats/vegetative communities impacted: There will be a considerable amount
of riparian habitat destroyed.
•
Assessment of impact: The area receives considerable use by wildlife due to being in a
riparian situation. Some species use the area on a year-round basis while others
use it for nesting and winter use.
Mine Reclamation recommendations (include key species/habitats for which restoration
is designed) .
Detailed reclamation plans were not made available in the packet received in this
office. However, willow and cottonwood are the prevalent tree species and should
be used extensively in the reclamation, also shrub type plants such as ribes,
- skunk bush or chokecherries should be included in the mix.

10—Bankard sandy loam, 0 to 3 percent slopes. This
is a deep, somewhat excessively drained soil on flood
plains at elevations of 4,450 to 5,000 feet. It formed in
stratified recent alluvium along streams and rivers. In- EXHIBIT I
eluded in mapping are numerous sand and gravel bars
and small areas of noncalcareous soils.
Typically the surface layer of this Bankard soil is
brown sandy loam about 4 inches thick. The underlying
material to a depth of 60 inches is pale brown calcareous
sand stratified with thin lenses of sandy loam, loam, and
fine gravel.
Permeability is moderately rapid. Available water
capacity is low. The effective rooting depth is 60 inches or
more. Surface runoff is slow, and the erosion hazard is
low.
This soil is suited to limited cropping. It is sandy and
subject to flooding. Pasture is the best use. Tall wheat-
grass, tall fescue, and annual sweetclover are some of the
most suitable crops. Light, frequent irrigation by furrows
and flooding is best. Commercial fertilizer improves the
amount and value of forage produced.
The potential native vegetation is dominated by
ssvitchgrass, indiangrass, sand bluestem, sand reedgrass,
sideoats grama, needleandthread, and blue grama. Much
of this range site includes other soils and vegetation in
such a complex pattern that it is difficult to map them
separately. Potential production ranges from 2,500 pounds
per acre in favorable years to 1,500 pounds in unfavorable
years. As range condition deteriorates, the tall and mid
grasses decrease; blue grams, sand dropseed, and (orbs
increase; and forage production drops. Undesirable weeds
and annuals invade the site as range condition becomes
poorer.
Management of vegetation should be based on taking
- half and leaving half of the total annual production. Seed-
ing is desirable only in areas large enough to interseed or
to prepare a seedbed. Switchgrass, sand bluestem, sand
reedgrass, sideoats grams, little bluestem, blue grama, pu-
- bescent wheatgrass, and intermediate wheatgrass are
suitable for seeding. This soil can be seeded by using an
interseeder or a firm, clean sorghum stubble. A grass drill
is required. Seeding early in spring has proven most suc-
cessful.
This soil is generally not suited to the establishment
and growth of trees and shrubs. Onsite investigation is
_ needed to determine feasibility and possible tree and
shrub species.
Wildlife is an important secondary use of this soil. The
cropland areas provide favorable habitat for ring-necked
- pheasant and mourning dove. Many nongame species can
be attracted by establishing areas for nesting and escape
cover. For pheasants, undisturbed nesting cover is essen-
tial and should be included in plans for habitat develop-
ment, especially in areas of intensive agriculture. Range-
land wildlife, for example, deer and antelope, can be at-
tracted by managing livestock grazing and reseeding
- where needed.
This soil is not suited to urban or recreational develop-
ment because of the flood hazard. Capability subclass

Most of the property and all of the proposed mining area falls
into the Aquolls and Aquents with a gravelly substratum soil
classification. A detailed description of this soil is included
in Exhibit I . Potential production of native grasses by this
soil group ranges from 3 ,000 pounds per acre in favorable years
to 2 ,000 pounds per acre in unfavorable years . This is
sufficient to support the proposed reclamation use of pasture
acreage if sufficient care is taken to prevent overgrazing.
Predominant vegetation areas are illustrated on Exhibit C . Trees
consist mainly of cottonwood with some willow. These trees are
located mainly along the Lupton Bottoms Ditch in the middle of
- the property with some cottonwoods located on the western edge of
the property northwest of the house on the property.
The major percentage of the vegetation on the property consists
of Forbs which include Musk Thistle , Ball Thistle, Canada
Thistle , Goathead, Kochia, Prickly Lettuce , Sunflower, Bindweed,
Murdock, and Lambsquarters . Some grasses including Tail
- Wheatgrass , Crested Wheatgrass , Intermediate Wheatgrass , and
Smooth Bromegrass are present on the property, mainly near the
ditch which traverses the property. Cattails and some sedges are
- present along the southwestern seep branch of the ditch. Minor
cheatgrass , Western wheatgrass , Saltgrass and Sand Drop Seed also
occur.

RECLAMATION COSTS
These reclamation costs are based on the maximum amount of
disturbance which would occur during the mining operation. We
have identified this point when the mining is about half way
through Phase I , when the portable asphalt batch plant is located
on the site , the portable crusher/screening plant is on the site ,
stockpiles of off-site material (mainly concrete and asphalt for
recycling ) are located on-site and there are approximately 2-3
years worth of stockpiled overburden and topsoil .
This exhibit corresponds with the Table of Disturbance in Exhibit
D . The main access road will remain after mining to provide
access to the Barrett Energy gas well on the property. This road
has not been included in the disturbance calculations .
