WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, County currently owns property located in the N2N2NW4 of Section 31, Township 6 North, Range 65 West of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado, hereinafter referred to as "Tract A," being more particularly described in the attached Exhibit "A", and WHEREAS, Hiner owns property located immediately to the south of County's above - described property, with such property owned by Hiner being hereinafter referred to as "Hiner Property" and being more particularly described in the attached Exhibit "B", and WHEREAS, County is currently in need of gravel for use in its road and bridge operations, and WHEREAS, County is also in need of the placement of drainage easements on Hiner Property for the purpose of providing drainage from Tract A and from property located in Sections 19 and 30, Township 6 North, Range 65 West of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado, and WHEREAS, the parties now desire to enter into this Agreement to convey the gravel to County and to provide for the drainage easements necessary for the proper drainage associated with Tract A. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows: 1. County agrees to purchase and Hiner agrees to convey to County the right to mine gravel from two parcels located on Hiner Property. The first parcel has not been mined and is approximately 3.2 acres in size. The second parcel is currently a lake, being approximately 19.5 acres in size and having been partially mined previously. 2. The majority, if not all, of the Hiner Property is permitted for a gravel pit operation by the Mined Land Reclamation Board, Permit No. M-77-151. County agrees to comply with all requirements of such permit and to reclaim both parcels on which County conducts mining operations in accordance with the reclamation plan being a part of Permit No. M-77-151. In the event County determines prior to July 10, 1995, that it cannot comply with the permit requirements and the reclamation plan, Page 1 of 5 Pages 2434138 B-1487 P-367 04/14/95 01:30P PO 1 OF 7 REC DOC Weld County CO Clerk & Recorder 0.00 950634 County may terminate this Agreement and both parties shall be released from their respective rights and obligations herein provided. Hiner makes no representations or warranties regarding the requirements for reclamation and other permit requirements. In the event County elects to proceed with mining, it shall do no act nor take any action which would jeopardize the financial warranty posted by Hiner with the Mined Land Reclamation Board. In the event Hiner's financial warranty is forfeited or drawn upon by said Board as the result of the actions of County, Hiner's sole remedy shall be to recover from County any costs incurred by him associated with the action taken against the financial warranty. 3. Hiner has an adjudicated irrigation well on the Hiner Property which is currently augmented by G.A.S.P. It is believed, however, that an augmentation plan will be necessary in order to satisfy local, state, and federal requirements for water augmentation resulting from the mining operations contemplated by County on said parcels. Hiner shall pay for any and all consultation services necessary to complete the augmentation plan and shall purchase all water necessary to comply with the augmentation plan. County agrees to review the current augmentation and the augmentation plan to be completed in the future. In the event County determines that the current augmentation or the augmentation plan is insufficient for open pit mining, County shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and both parties shall be released from their respective rights and obligations herein provided. Hiner makes no representations or warranties as to the adequacy of the augmentation for open pit mining. County shall provide its staff to assist Hiner and his consultant in producing the augmentation plan. 4. Hiner shall dedicate to County any and all drainage easements necessary to provide proper drainage for correctional facilities to be built on Tract A and to provide drainage for that property located in Sections 19 and 30, Township 6 North, Range 65 West of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado. The drainage from Sections 19 and 30, Township 6 North, Range 65 West shall include storm water and waste agricultural irrigation water from approximately 236 acres in said sections. The drainage from Tract A shall be for storm water and for landscaping irrigation. 5. County shall build and pay for all drainage facilities required, including culverts and cement aprons, for the drainage onto Hiner Property within said drainage easements. 6. County shall build spillway structures for Hiner from lakes located on Hiner Property and for water directed to the Poudre River. 7. County shall, in the course of mining the 3.2 acre parcel, transport excess top soil to the west side of Hiner's access road to fill a flood plain area which currently exists. 8. County shall mine the 3.2 acre and 19.5 acre parcels in such a way as to provide Page 2 of 5 Pages 2434138 B-1487 P-367 04/14/95 01:30P PG 2 OF 7 950634 proper slopes in accordance with any gravel permits and reclamation plans currently in place and/or to be acquired, including final seeding of shores of the lake areas. 9. County shall pay Hiner the sum of $73,361 for the right to mine said gravel from the parcels described herein and to purchase the drainage easements described herein, which shall be paid one-half ($36,680.50) on July 10, 1995, and one-half ($36,680.50) on July 10, 1996. 10. County shall build and maintain a road accessing Hiner Property and provide a secured access to Hiner and his guests. The parties agree that the location of said access road shall be agreed to at a later date. County further agrees to mine the 3.2 acre and 19.5 acre tracts in such a way as to provide Hiner with a roadway along the northern edge of the lake on the 19.5 acre tract. 11. County shall mine the 3.2 acre and 19.5 acre tracts according to a schedule agreed to with Hiner to minimize the impact to recreational uses of the lake on the 19.5 acre tract. 12. County shall make a good faith effort to complete all mining and remove all mined materials as soon as possible; however, all such mining and removal shall be completed no later than five years after the signing of this Agreement. 13. Hiner agrees to allow the storage of all mined materials on Hiner Property until County removes the same. 14. County shall mine and leave for Hiner's use 7,500 yards of gravel crushed to county road specifications. 15. With only those exceptions as specifically stated herein, this Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding between the parties to this Agreement and supersedes any other agreements concerning the subject matter of this Agreement, whether oral or written. No modification, amendment, novation, renewal, or other alteration of or to this Agreement shall be deemed valid or of any force or effect whatsoever unless mutually agreed upon in writing by the undersigned parties. No breach of any term, provision, or clause of this Agreement shall be deemed waived or excused, unless such waiver or consent shall be in writing and signed by the party claimed to have waived or consented. Any consent by any party hereto or waiver of a breach by any other party, whether express or implied, shall not constitute a consent to, waiver or, or excuse for any other different or subsequent breach. 16. If any term or condition of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, this Agreement shall be construed and enforced without such a provision, to the extent that this Agreement is then capable of execution within the Page 3 of 5 Pages 2434138 B-1487 P-367 04/14/95 01:30P PG 3 OF 7 9.0634 original intent of the parties. 17. No portion of this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any immunities the parties or their officers or employees may possess, nor shall any portion of this Agreement be deemed to have created a duty of care that did not previously exist with respect to any person not a party to this Agreement. 18. County agrees to indemnify and hold Hiner harmless from all claims, obligations and liability arising from and by virtue of County's mining of gravel and construction and operation of the drainage facilities located on Hiner's property; provided, however, that the liability of County shall be limited to the limits of County's liability insurance coverage, which County shall maintain throughout the term of this Agreement in an amount not less than $1,000,000. 19. County shall be responsible for maintenance of its drainage facilities and shall repair any damage to the Hiner property caused by County's installation and operation of its drainage facilities. 20. County shall arrange for KLH Engineering to prepare a set of plans and specifications for the drainage facilities. Upon their completion, they shall be subject to review and approval by Hiner and a copy thereof shall be attached to and made a part of this Agreement. 21. The ingress and egress of County over the Hiner Property for the installation, repair, maintenance, and operation of the drainage facilities shall be limited to those routes depicted on the plans produced by KLH Engineering on behalf of County and approved by Hiner as required in paragraph 20., above.
