The applicant holds a current Use by Special Review Permit (USR-87 ) in Weld County for the site that is being amended. The original USR-877 was amended in 199 to add land to the west of the original permit for additional resource extraction, to the east foir an access easement, and to the south to expand the resource stockpile area. For purposes of clarity, we will address the original permit as USR-877, the request for amendment to USR-877 dated June 1994 as the First Amendment, and this request for an amendment to USR-877 as the Second Amendment. We are including for your information, the Regular Operations application for change of ownership as administered by the Division of Minerals and Geology, State of Colorado. Any additional information as requested by the Weld County Information Packet for a Site Specific Development Plan for Use by Special Review will be addressed by this letter and the accompanying information. The Second Amendment proposes to include in USR-877 the installation and use of one asphalt and one concrete batch plant, a storage area for recycled concrete and asphalt materials and 2 portable office facilities. No increase in area of operations beyond the limits of USR-877 is required since these proposed facilities will be incorporated within the boundaries of the working gravel mining operations. The proposed facilities will be installed on mined out areas that have been filled with overburden materials from previously mined areas. No other changes are proposed for this amendment as will be documented in this application. Access to the site remains the same as originally approved and neither the mining plan or the reclamation plan for USR-877 is changed by this application. The proposed amendment, the Second Amendment, is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. As determined during previous application and permit procedures, the site 951317 g EXHIBIT Chuck Cunliffe -2- February 10, 1995 is a valuable resource and it will be restored to a beneficial use. It was further determined that the mining operation so permitted would not adversely impact the agricultural economy of Weld County. Please see the questionnaire answers included herewith. The area within USR-877 that is affected by this Second Amendment is outside the Flood Hazard Development area as determined by FEMA. Therefore no change is required in the existing Flood Hazard Development permit. Likewise, there will be no change with respect to groundwater. Surface water runoff will not be altered from the permitted USR-877. There will be no permanent structures proposed with the Second Amendment. All equipment such as conveyors, processing operations, batching plants, office facilities, and scale house will be portable and will be completely removed upon completion of the mining and reclamation process. The soils at the Second Amendment site do not pose any limitation to the proposed use of portable equipment. The applicant will comply with the conditions of applicable State and local permits thus insuring the protection of the health, safety, and welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and the County. Specific conditions may apply to air quality and batching plant safety. Those issues will be addressed in order to comply with regulations. Vehicular traffic and access routes are discussed in the accompanying "Traffic Pattern" statement. The statement has been provided separately for ease of reference by County engineering personnel. USR-877 regular operations application, Exhibit G, discusses the availability of water for process washing and the availability of water rights for dust control and other consumptive use as determined in the augmentation plan as submitted to the Colorado State Water Engineer. There is no anticipated change in the USR-877 augmentation plan. The applicant's property and legal right to enter and use the property was established in USR-877. That right remains in effect. The respective deeds and assignments to this applicant are included in this application as Exhibit E. The applicant for the second amendment, C&M Aggregates, Ltd. is a sister company to Cooley Gravel Company, which holds USR-1046, a permit for an open pit sand and gravel mine, including concrete and asphalt batching plants. Both companies are wholly owned subsidiaries of CAMAS America, Inc. The Cooley Gravel Company permit, USR-1046, is located approximately 1/2 mile east of the C&M Companies (Distel Farm Resources) processing facilities. The applicant does not propose to operate two concrete and two asphalt batching plants within such close proximity. The applicant is willing to certify to the use of only one complete batching operation in the vicinity. Economies of operation dictate that the batching site should be located 951317 Chuck Cunliffe -3- February 10, 1995 at the USR-877 site rather than at the USR-1046 site, so it can be incorporated into the current processing facility. The mining operation at the site of USR-1046 is expected to proceed by transferring the sand and gravel to the USR-877 site via conveyors, thus avoiding truck traffic outside the site. As a result of the planned operation, the net effect of truck traffic with respect to USR-877 and USR-1046 on Weld County Road 20 1/2 will be zero while providing for removal of valuable sand and gravel deposits. As additional clarification, C&M Companies and C&M Ready Mix Concrete Company of Boulder no longer exist. The succeeding company is C&M Aggregates, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of CAMAS America, Inc. We trust that this application has addressed the requirements for an amendment to USR-877 and the concerns of Weld County. If you have any questions, please contact us.

See attached application form. 2. See attached application form and noted exhibits. 3. See Exhibit C. 4. See Exhibit D. 5. a. Reclamation plans are as described and approved for USR-877. No change for this amendment. b. Water Supply provided for USR-877 under existing augmentation plan. c. Not applicable. 6. The proposed is in compliance with the application requirements of Sections 24.7, 24.3, and 44 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance. In addition, the proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Comprehensive Plan's Mineral Resources, Goals and Policies and Transportation Goals and Policies, and the agricultural zone district as provided for a Use by Special Review. 7. The agricultural zone district provides for the extraction of mineral resources. By approval of USR-877, a determination was made that the mining plan in that USR promotes reasonable and orderly development of mineral resources. This amendment provides for the furtherance of the already approved extraction process. 8. The Second Amendment proposal does not affect productive agricultural land. This proposal will utilize areas that have already been mined. 9. All operations of the second amendment will be confined to a part of the site already approved as a gravel mine as USR-877. Public health, safety, and welfare are protected pursuant to the development standards for USR-877. 10. Surrounding land uses include gravel mining and agriculture. This proposed use is compatible with those uses. 11. The uses permitted will be compatible with the existing surrounding land uses and the future development of the surrounding area as permitted by the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. 951317 Surrounding land uses include gravel mining, agriculture, oil and gas production, and rural farmsteads. The area is in an agricultural zone. It is anticipated that the future development of the area will be mostly agricultural -oriented interspersed with some additional residential uses. 12. The Second Amendment proposal is not in a Flood Overlay District Area, although a part of USR-877 is in the Flood District. This proposal is not in a geologic hazard or airport overlay zone. 13. Drinking water is provided to the area by bottled water carried to the site. Water for restroom, washing, and processing is provided by an adjudicated well on site as a part of USR-877. 14. See Exhibit E. 15. Noise from batching will occur within the limits shown on Exhibit A. MI noise at or beyond the property line will continue to be less than the noise standards developed by the State of Colorado. The nearest residence is located 1000 feet from the Second Amendment boundary. Other surrounding agricultural land uses will not be affected by the operation. 16. The proposed second amendment will be used for the operation of an asphalt batch plant and a concrete batch plant with appurtenant portable offices, and storage area for recycled concrete and asphalt materials. The batch plants will be portable. The number of employees at the second amendment site including portable offices will average 6 people. Normal hours of operation will be 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Routine maintenance of equipment will be between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday. There are timesdueto special circumstances such as traffic situations, that certain contracts and supply commitments require that the Applicant provide batched material at other than normal hours of operation. Such instances occur as a convenience to the travelling public whereby construction and/or repairs must occur when traffic flows are at a minimum. The Applicant hereby requests that he be given the right to comply with such public needs when required by the contracting authority. Only authorized people and employees of the applicant will use the site. An average of 10 people, which include itinerant truck drivers, will use the second amendment site during periods of production of batched materials. Vehicles that will access the site: (daily average during production) Passenger vehicles - 8 each day during operations Asphalt trucks - 40 trucks (1/2 truck trailer, max 85,000#; 1/2 tandem , max 54,000#) Concrete mobile mix trucks - 50 - 6 yds. - 54,000# to max. 62,000# Materials supply vehicles - accounted for in USR-877 Dozer Loaders - 2 951317 The site will use the existing septic system approved for USR-877. There will be no storage or stockpile of wastes. Debris and waste will be disposed of monthly by trucking to approved disposal sites. The portable plants will be moved into the site and be set up in a couple of days' time as will the portable office facilities. Set up is to occur in early spring 1995. The landscaping plans and erosion control measures adopted for USR-877 will be adhered to for the Second Amendment. Reclamation procedures adopted for USR-877 will be performed for the Second Amendment. The Weld County Comprehensive plan encourages the extraction of mineral deposits when the mining plan promotes reasonable and orderly development of mineral resources. USR- 877 has been judged to promote reasonable and orderly development of mineral resources. The Second Amendment, the subject of this application, extends the "reasonable and orderly development" to a final use product through availability of premixed material from the site ready for use, thereby enhancing the extraction and development of the mineral resource. The present economy in the front range is creating an increasing demand for sand and gravel in Weld County. That same growth economy has also created a demand for premixed mining products such as will be provided in this Second Amendment. Providing the premixed end product results in an efficient manner of use of the minerals to be removed as defined in USR-877. Fire protection will be provided by the Mountain View Fire District headquartered in Longmont. The vehicular and processing equipment will be equipped with fire extinguishers per OSHA regulations. Storm drainage from the Second Amendment site will drain into the existing ponds on the USR-877 site and be handled in the same manner as approved for USR-877. 951317 Exhibit A LEGAL DESCRIPTION THAT PORTION OF THE NW 1/4 OF SECTION 17, TOWNSHIP 2 NORTH, RANGE 68 WEST OF THE 6Th PRINCIPAL MERIDIAN, COUNTY OF WELD, STATE OF COLORADO, BEING MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED AS FOLLOWS: CONSIDERING THE NORTH LINE OF THE NW 1/4 OF SAID SECTION 17 TO BEAR SOUTH 89°29'05" EAST AND WITH ALL BEARINGS CONTAINED HEREIN RELATIVE THERETO; BEGINNING AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF SAID SECTION 17; THENCE ALONG THE NORTH LINE OF SAID SECTION 17 SOUTH 89°29'05" EAST, 1351.28; THENCE ALONG THE WEST 1/16 LINE OF SAID SECTION 17 SOUTH 00°16'15" EAST 654.92 FEET TO THE TRUE POINT OF BEGINNING; THENCE SOUTH 89°40'55" EAST, 1009.79 FEET; THENCE SOUTH 00°02'19" WEST, 651.40 FEET; THENCE NORTH 89°52'50" WEST, 1006.13 FEET; THENCE NORTH 00°16'50" WEST, 654.92 FEET TO THE TRUE POINT OF BEGINNING, SAID TRACT CONTAINING 15.11 ACRES, MORE OR LESS. 951317 Exhibit B TRAFFIC PATTERNS FOR THE DISTEL FARM OPERATION, CAMAS AMERICA The existing R. I. A. is adequate in terms of improvements and maintenance. The proposed amendment will not impact the adjacent roads in number and types of vehicles anticipated beyond that anticipated for the two separate gravel operations permits, USR-877 and USR-1046, now held by the applicant. However, the applicant is hereby requesting a change in the agreement to allow traffic to move both east and west from the access point at WCR 20 1/2. At that point, 50% of the traffic would proceed each direction from the access. At WCR 7, one-half of the traffic will proceed each way, north and south. At WCR 1, one-half of the traffic will proceed each way, north and south. Some material is imported to the site for processing and mixing to make specification products. This material is generally backhauled to the site with the same trucks that haul from the site. This is not a major part of the production operation and does not affect traffic patterns. 951317 EXHIBIT B N N CO tr) Cc Li Oct WLu Z LL Q� N 51.317 I SUPPURT SERVICES GROUP I-'303-980-8002 FEB x"'95 11:15 No.006 P.02 EXHIBIT E AR2NU9S1S• I) CERTIFICATE OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP C & M AGGREGATES LIMITED 1998 Slop SPATE OF CO1,Uli;`,m d 7, (1) Name.
