Specifically,Western Mobile was seeking your guidance regarding their desire to add additional sand and gravel ground to the company's existing Hamm Pit sand and gravel operation. Currently,Western Mobile's Hamm Pit operation consists of three Weld County approved USRs including the following: • USR#397 as amended, known as "Boulder Creek Estates," and is permitted by the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board(Permit#M-79-113). Located south of State Highway 119. Sand and gravel is excavated and transported by conveyor under Highway 119 to Western Mobile's processing facility at the Hamm Pit(USR 1132 and USR 809). Mining at the Boulder Creek Estates parcel will be completed within the next seven months; however,Western Mobile will continue to use the 52351\401110W Avenue property for purposes of conveying sand and gravel from adjacent properties to the P.o. Box cot Hamm Pit processing plant. 13o&e1.CO R0306 Pb/Fax:303.111.660? Wetlands Balking nnirmnnenlal/All1agemenl Ln:d Um Plamliug Reclamation Design Permitting&Zoning 982285 Monica Daniels-Milo August 17, 1998 Page 2 • USR 809 as amended, known as the "Hamm Pit."Located west of Weld County Road#7 and north of Colorado State Highway No. 119. Western Mobile's Hamm Pit has been in operation since the late 1980s and is permitted by the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board (Permit#M-87-176). The majority of the Hamm Pit has been mined and reclaimed to date; however, conveyors on the property are used to transport sand and gravel from USR 397. Also, a portion of USR 809 is used for processing and stockpiling sand and gravel. • USR 1132 covers a 23-acre portion of the original Hamm Pit. This parcel is used for mining, sand and gravel processing, stockpiling, and sales. This USR also allows for the use of concrete and asphalt batch plants at this site. As currently permitted sand and gravel reserves are depleted, new sources of sand and gravel must be permitted. To that end, Western Mobile desires to obtain USR approval for three additional parcels of land located adjacent to the Hamm Pit and to the Boulder Creek Estates Pit. The new parcels are described as follows: • The"Adam"parcel is approximately 23 acres in size and is located adjacent to the north line of USR 809. Sand and gravel excavated from"Adam" will be transported by conveyor to the Hamm Pit plant for processing. • The "Heaton" parcel is approximately 75 acres in size and is situated south of Highway 119 and west of Weld County Road No. 7 adjacent to the Boulder Creek Estates property (USR 397) on the west. Excavated sand and gravel will be transported from Heaton to Hamm by conveyor under Highway 119. The requested application proposes no changes to the currently approved mining rates, methods, work force, equipment,or transportation requirements as currently permitted. Sand and gravel from the two new mining areas will be transported by conveyor to the existing processing plant (USR 1132). No new access roads will be required to develop the two additional mining areas. The proposed mining is compatible with current land uses,Weld County planning goals and policies and the I-25 Mixed Use Development plan (MUD). Pursuant to the MUD the proposed mining areas have"limiting site factors" due to their location in the 982285 Monica Daniels-Mika August 17, 1998 Page 3 100-year flood plain or Boulder and St. Vrain Creeks. Consistent with the MUD planning goals and policies, the post-mining land uses include wildlife habitat and outdoor recreation; however, portions of the site adjacent to Highway 119 and Weld County Road 7 may be suitable for commercial development in the future. Transmitted with this letter,please find a Use by Special Review (Mining Operation)Application package for Western Mobile's Hamm Pit operation, including the currently permitted USR parcels as well as the two new parcels identified above. As we previously discussed, the intent is to roll the current USRs and the new parcels into one USR that would include all of the above. In order to avoid unnecessary duplication, the enclosed Special Use package contains, where appropriate,previously submitted material. Also, legal descriptions are provided for each individual parcel covered under this USR application. After you and your staff have had an opportunity to review this letter and application,I would appreciate hearing from the case manager at the earliest convenient time. Sincerely, Michael J.

Completed, signed original USR application forms (3),plus 24 copies and the required fee of $1,455 are attached. 2. A detailed description of the method of mining is as follows: a. The types and numbers of equipment to be used are consistent with the currently approved USRs associated with the Hamm Pit operation. No change is equipment from the currently approved operation is proposed under this application. b. No changes in employment or working hours from those currently approved are proposed under this application. c. All proposed mining stages will be operated as dry pits; each stage will be dewatered prior to mining. d. There are no changes from the currently approved local road use proposed under this applications. Weld county Road No. 7 will continue to be the primary access point for the Hamm Pit sand and gravel operation. e. Currently, the final stage of USR#397 (Boulder Creek Estates) is being mined and reclaimed. Mining of this stage is anticipated to be completed by the end of 1998. The remaining Hamm Pit sand and gravel reserves are divided into four areas as follows:* Area A. USR 1132 23 acres Area B. "Adam" 23 acres Area C. "Heaton" • Phase 1 37 acres • Phase 2 37 acres f. It is anticipated that Areas A and B will each take approximately one year to complete and that Area C will require 3-4 years to complete. The above time estimates are based on current economic conditions and associated demand for sand and gravel products. g. The average depth of sand and gravel ranged between 12 and 15 feet. The average thickness of overburden to be removed ranged from 3 to 5 feet. *It should be noted that the stages are not intended to be in chronological order. 1 982295 h. The Reclamation Plan map is included with this application. The proposed post- reclamation land uses include recreation and wildlife habitat for Area B and Phase 2 of Area C. Portions of Areas A and C (Phase 2) will be reclaimed in such a manner as to facilitate possible future development. The reclamation process involves the grading and shaping of banks in areas where open water will be a post-mining landscape feature. Other reclaimed areas will be backfilled with wash fines, covered with topsoil, and revegetated or backfilled with overburden and shale from the pit floor, topsoiled and revegetated. i. Technical advice was obtained from Western Mobile, Inc., the Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology and Hart Environmental. 3. A certified list of properly owners within 500 feet of the new parcels to be permited was prepared by the Weld County Tide Company and is included with this USR application. 4. A certified list of mineral owners and lessees of minerals on or under the new parcels to be permitted was prepared by the Weld County Tide Company and is included with this USR application. 5. Additional documents submitted by the applicant with this application include the following: a. Reclamation plans which either have been or will be submitted to the Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology are provided as exhibits to this submittal. b. There is an agreement in place with the Saint Vrain &Left Hand Water Conservancy District dated April 6, 1988, that covers the sand and gravel mining operation as well as a Water Well Permit(No. 037683-F) with the State Water Engineers Office, both of which are included as exhibits to this submittal. c. No new drainage structures or modification of existing drainage structures will be required as a result of this application. d. No new haul roads will be constructed for this application. Excavated sand and gravel will be transported to the Hamm Pit processing plant by conveyor. 6. The proposed use is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. To date, the majority of the Hamm Pit site has been mined and reclaimed. The "Adam"parcel has minimal agricultural value. The"Heaton"parcel has been historically used for cultivation of row crops. The extraction of mineral resources will not result in a significant loss of prime agricultural land. 2 982285 The Hamm Pit Comprehensive Plan is located in the Mixed Use Development(MUD) area. Post-mining conditions will be compatible with existing and proposed adjacent land uses. Riparian habitat areas will be undisturbed by the proposed new mining areas. Following mining the Hamm Pit Comprehensive Plan area will provide significant wildlife habitat as well as an enhanced landscape and visual aesthetic. Important sand and gravel resources have been identified for this area in the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. Sand and gravel mining is currently a significant land use along this section of the Colorado Highway 119 corridors. The operator(Western Mobile)will be able to extend the life of their Hamm Pit sand and gravel operation, thereby continuing to provide tax revenues and employment opportunities to the area. In addition, the Hamm Pit sand and gravel operation does not require any county resources; rather, the operation provides significant aggregate resources needed to meet the growth demands of the area. 7. The Hamm Pit Comprehensive Plan area is located in the MUD. The site is characterized as having "limited site factors" due to its location in the 100-year flood plain of Boulder and St. Vrain Creeks. Reclamation of the site will be as open ponds with areas peripheral to the ponds backfilled. The majority site will be useful for wildlife habitat and recreation, which are compatible with the Weld County MUD goals. 8. Certain productive agricultural lands in the "A"zoned district will be lost due the proposed mining operation associated with the Hamm Pit Comprehensive Plan. It is often difficult if not impossible to recover sand and gravel resources without affecting the agricultural uses that occur on the surface of the land to be mined. 9. The applicant will secure the site with appropriate fencing. All mining and processing operations will be carried out in accordance with applicable permits. The project is not anticipated to pose risks to the health and safety of local residents of Weld County. 10. Currently, local land uses include agriculture, livestock grazing, gas production, mining and residential. The permitted use will be compatible with existing uses. Reclamation of the site will be compatible with other local reclaimed mine areas. 11. As stated above,the expansion is located in the MUD area. The post-mining uses include wildlife habitat recreation. These uses are compatible with MUD goals. 3 982285 12. The site is located within the 100-year flood plain of St. Vrain Creek and Boulder Creek. The area is designated as Zone "A" corresponding to Floodprone Zone FP-1, base flood elevations and other flood hazard factors undefined. The proposed mining is not anticipated to have adverse impacts on local flood hazard potential. The post-mining ponds will increase local flood storage capacity and reduce downstream flood hazards. The proposed expansion area does not lie in the airport overlay or geologic hazard overlay districts. 13. Existing water supplies are adequate for processing operations. No change in the type or rate of processing is proposed as part of this application. 14. Required legal instruments are provided as exhibits to this application. 15. No increases in equipment usage or changes to the existing mining operation are proposed as part of this amendment. Therefore, no increases to existing ambient noise levels are anticipated. 16. Please refer to previously submitted and approved USRs associated with this application and submitted as part of this application. 4 982285 HAMM PIT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 1.

LALANDFILS1996U3OULDERSRMR3SAM 982285 AGREEMENT REGARDING SAND AND GRAVEL MINING AND AUGMENTATION AGREEMENT PERTAINING THERETO 1. PARTIES. The parties to this Agreement are JCK GRAVEL, INC., owner ("Owner") , and THE SAINT VRAIN & LEFT HAND WATER CONSERVANCY DISTRICT, ("the Conservancy District") . 2. RECITALS. Owner owns property in the South half of Section 4, Township 2 North, Range 68 West of the Sixth Principal Meridian, Weld County, Colorado, described on Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference. JCK Farms, Ltd. has entered into a lease allowing Frontier Materials, Inc. ("Frontier" ) to mine sand and gravel from the property described in Exhibit A. A copy of the lease entered into between Frontier and JCK Farms, Ltd. is attached as Exhibit B. JCK Farms, Ltd. has assigned the lease and all revenues due it to certain individuals by a document, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit C. Those individuals have assigned the lease and all revenues due them to Owner by a document, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit D. Frontier has applied to Weld County for a special use permit and has applied to the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board for a reclamation permit, to permit it to conduct sand and gravel mining activities on the property. Furthermore, the parties acknowledge that the construction of lakes, which are part of Frontier's reclamation plan, will result in additional evaporation from open water surfaces which will adversely affect the Conservancy District unless augmented. The Conservancy District has no objection to Frontier's mining operations and reclamation of the property if the concerns expressed above are addressed and the interests of the Conservancy District are satisfacto- rily protected. The Owner has agreed to protect those interests and the purpose of this Agreement is to set forth the specific agreements of the parties. 3. OWNER'S AGREEMENTS. Owners agree as follows: a. To augment St. Vrain Creek, in accordance with the water augmentation policy for gravel pits of The St. Vrain & Left Hand Water Conservancy District, thereby preventing injury to other water users, by conveying to The St. Vrain & Left Hand Water Conservancy District an amount equal to two acre feet of water for each new surface acre of lake constructed. A copy of the District' s policy is attached as Exhibit E. Frontier's current plans call for the construction of six permanent new ponds with a total of 82 surface acres. If, at the end of its mining operations on the property, Frontier has constructed lakes having more or less than this number of surface acres, the Conservancy District shall convey to Owner all water which has been conveyed to the Conservancy District by Owner over and above an amount determined by multiplying the number of surface acres of lakes by two acre feet or, if necessary, Owner shall convey to the Conservancy District additional water in order to equal the amount of two acre feet for each surface acre of lakes constructed. Owner shall be given credit for the 16 acres of existing water surfaces on the property. 982285 Owner further agrees that the water rights which shall be conveyed in compliance with the foregoing provisions and in compliance with the gravel pit augmentation policy of The St. Vrain & Left Hand Water Conservancy District shall be six shares of the Oligarchy Ditch Company, an incorporated ditch or shares or ownership of an acceptable alternate water right as described below. The six-share requirement of the Oligarchy Ditch Company was calculated by dividing the 164 acre-foot requirement by the average yield per share of the Oligarchy Ditch, 27 acre-feet of water per year. In lieu of assigning and transferring the six shares of the Oligarchy Ditch Company to the District upon execution of this Agreement, Owner agrees as follows: (i) To instruct Frontier to deposit ten percent (10%) of all payments due to Owner under the lease attached as Exhibit B, including but not limited to royalties, advance royalties and delay payments to a joint account by the District and Owner at the First National Bank of Longmont, Longmont, Colorado. The funds shall be used as security for and/or the purchase of water rights to be used for augmentation as required by this Agreement. (ii ) At or before the time water starts to permanently evaporate from any of the gravel pits on the property as a result of Frontier ceasing to dewater that pit, Owner shall either convey to the District the six (6) shares of the Oligarchy Ditch Company or use the funds in the account to purchase other water rights adjudicated in the original adjudication of water rights on the St. Vrain River acceptable to the District and pursuant to the District Policy attached as Exhibit E. The District agrees to allow the funds in the account to be used for such a purchase. (iii ) In the event the six shares of Oligarchy Ditch Company is transferred to the District, the account shall be closed, all funds released to the Owner, and Frontier shall be instructed not to make any further deposits to the account. (iv) In the event the Owner fails to cause the transfer of the six shares of Oligarchy Ditch Company to the District and fails to locate and cause the purchase of water rights pursuant to paragraph 3.a. (ii ) above, the District shall be entitled to use of the money in the account to purchase water rights for augmentation pursuant to its policy attached as Exhibit E. Owner shall permit and take whatever action is necessary to allow the funds in the account to be used for such purpose. (v) If at any time, water rights are transferred to the District in excess of the amount necessary to augment the then occurring evaporation pursuant to the District Policy attached as Exhibit ER, Owner shall have use of such excess until it is required for augmentation. 2 982285 (vi ) If funds in the account are used to purchase water rights which partially meet the augmentation requirement (i .e. , assuming mining plans are not altered, water rights with a gross yield of less than 164 acre feet of water per year) , any remaining funds in the account shall remain and Frontier shall be instructed to continue to make deposits to the account. At any time sufficient water rights have been purchased and transferred to the District to meet the augmentation requirements of the District' s Policy attached as Exhibit , any remaining funds in the account shall be disbursed to the Owner, the account shall be closed and Frontier shall be instructed not to make any further deposits to the account. (vii ) If there are insufficient funds in the account to purchase water rights to augment evaporation pursuant to the District' s Policy attached as Exhibit E, Owner shall be responsible for the deficiency and agrees to devote and instruct Frontier to deposit the necessary funds from royalties or other payments due Owner under the lease attached as Exhibit B, into the account to cover any deficiency. (viii ) In the event water rights other than those adjudicated to the Oligarchy Ditch are utilized for augmentation, their yield shall be determined by reference to the City of Longmont Raw Water Annexation Requirement Policy. b. In order to implement the provisions of this Agreement, the water rights described above shall be transferred to The St. Vrain & Left Hand Water Conservancy District and the new stock certificate or deed issued shall recite the following notation: "These water rights (shares) and the uses of water attributable thereto are restricted by an Agreement dated December 17, 1986, entered into between JCK Gravel , Inc. and the St. Vrain & Left Hand Water Conservancy District, and are subject to the terms of that Agreement.

Require two acre-feet of augmentation water per acre for each additional acre of open water surface created by mining. 2. Water rights conveyed to the District for augmentation must be first adjudication rights (1882) or Colorado Big Thompson Project water. Where C.B.T. water is proposed, it is subject to the approval of the • Board of Directors of the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District. 3. The quantity of water available from water rights proposed for f augmentation is to be determined by engineers for the District based upon the historic average annual diversions attributable to the water rights. 4. No credit is to be given for historic consumptive use resulting from unadjudicated sources such as sub-irrigation from ground water, ground water evaporation, wastewater, bogs and marshes. Such consumptive use is considered to be attributable to out-of-priority diversions from these sources and cannot be claimed for augmentation purposes. S. Augmentation water rights are to be conveyed to the District, provided however, that C.B.T. water shall remain allocated to the land and titled in the name of the landowner, but shall be subject to a cov- enant tying it to the Augmentation Agreement. • 6. The District shall own all augmentation water (other than C.B.T. ) and shall exercise all rights and responsibilities of ownership of rights transferred to the District, subject to the provisions of the Augmentation Agreement. • 7. The landowner shall file for conditional and absolute water rights on water stored in g gravel pit ponds, filing to be undertaken as soon as possible after execution of the Augmentation Agreement and pur- sued diligently to final decrees. 8. The applicant shall pay to the District a reasonable amount to reimburse for legal and engineering expenses incurred in reviewing the mining proposal and preparing the Augmentation Agreement. 9. In the future, if required by Colorado statutes, Colorado State Engineer or other water users, the applicant agrees to file a formal Plan of Augmentation with the Water Court. Both the District and the applicant agree that the standards set forth in this policy shall govern their positions with respect to any formal plan of augmentation; in other words, the District agrees not to request additional augmentation water and the applicant agrees to waive any claims it might have to furnish less augmentation water. .'l, •., 982285 w Rc04i✓O�B F ,C 4 ' EEC 02042018 02/06/86 11 : 35 ' MARY ANN PEUEFSTEIN CLi - , & RE 315 . 00 1/pp5 CORDER WELD CO, CO AGREEMENT REGARDING SAND AND GRAVEL MINING AND AUGMENTATION PLAN PERTAINING THERETO • 11 THIS AGREEMENT is made this /0 T They of 1980, between ST.

VRAIN shall be responsible for completion of mining and reclamation plans submitted to Weld County and the Mined Land Reclamation Board, which plans include the creation of one or more lakes ; and WHEREAS , the WATER USERS have no objection to the mining and reclamation plans if an augmentation plan for Boulder Creek is entered into for the purpose of compensating for potential additional evaporation which may result from the lakes created by the Mining , and the parties have agreed upon such an augmentation plan as set forth herein. NOW, THEREFORE, it is mutually agreed as follows : 1 . ST VRAIN agrees as follows : A. To conduct a mining operation in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Mining and Reclamation Plan as finally approved by Weld County and the Mined Land Reclamation Board of the State of Colorado; 3. That neither it nor its partners , general or limited, nor its successors nor assigns will claim, in any judicial pro- ceeding or otherwise, that it has an appropriation of water by virtue of the contemplated mining operations and reclamation plan, or attempt in any way to appropriate any water which is assertedly developed, or which assertedly augments stream flow, as a result of the contemplated mining operations and reclamation plan . The foregoing sentence shall not preclude ST. VRAIN from raising any such claim as a defense to any judicial or administrative proceed- ing brought by either a governmental agency or a water user not bound hereby , so long as the water which ST.

The decision as to whether or not such water shall be diverted at the respective ditch headgates , and if diverted, at which point it shall be allowed to flow back into Boulder Creek, shall be made by the WATER USERS. In any case, this water shall be used to augment evaporation -from the lake resulting from ST. VRAIN ' s mining and reclamation plans and shall never be used for any other purpose. The land heretofore irrigated by, and the water heretofore attributable to,such shares shall no longer • be irrigated by such shares. G. In order to implement the provisions of this Agreement, ST.
