RE: Use by Special Review Permit for Proposed Expansion Mining Operation
To Whom it May Concern:
On behalf of CAMAS Colorado, Inc., Cooley Gravel Division, this letter and accompanying
information constitute a request for an amendment to the Weld County Use by Special Review
(USR) Permit No. 877 for expansion of the Distel Farm Project. In addition to the attached Weld
County USR permit amendment application, a Construction Materials Regular 112 Permit
Operation Application was submitted to the Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology (DMG).
To respond to the specific requirements of the USR permit application, information is provided
in the attached Response to Application Requirements and Questions and additional information
is provided in Attachments 1 through 4 (see attached List of Attachments). Attachment 1 is a copy
of the DMG 112 Permit Application and is provided for informational purposes.
An amendment to the current USR Permit No. 877 is requested to allow the mining of sand and
gravel resources on approximately 98.9 acres of leased land adjacent to the Distel Farm Project,
currently operated by CAMAS Colorado, Inc., Cooley Gravel Division. The existing operation
and proposed expansion area are located in Sections 7, 8, 17 and 18, Township 2 North, Range
68 West, in southern Weld County, as shown on the attached Vicinity Map (see Exhibit B,
Attachment 1). The proposed expansion area is located just south of County Road 119, southwest
of the convergence of St. Vrain and Boulder Creeks and just north of County Road 20 1/2. The
only municipality within three miles of the proposed operation is the City of Longmont, Colorado.

The tract of land proposed for mining is currently used for livestock grazing. The property will
be divided into two phases for mining. The Phase 1 area includes the western portion of the
property and consists of approximately 44.6 acres of pasture land. The Phase 2 area is located on
the eastern portion of the property and is comprised of approximately 47.9 acres of pasture land.
The limits of the Phase 1 and 2 mining areas are shown in the drawings in the attached DMG 112
Permit Application (see Exhibits B and C.3, Attachment 1).
Based on a recent jurisdictional wetlands delineation, there are no wetlands within the proposed
Phase 1 disturbance area. The Phase 2 area includes development within jurisdictional wetlands
and Waters of the U.S. An Individual U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) 404 (dredge and fill)
permit will be required for the disturbance of these wetlands. No mining will be initiated in the
Phase 2 area until a COE permit has been obtained.
The mined out pit will be reclaimed as a pond. Peripheral areas and permanent stockpiles will be
reseeded with pasture grasses.
The requested amendment proposes no changes to the mining rates or methods, work force,
equipment or transportation requirements previously permitted under USR 877. Material in the
expansion area will be loaded on an existing overland conveyor and transported to the previously
permitted area for processing. Access roads required to develop the expansion have previously
been constructed to access existing mining areas that lie on the east and south boundaries of the
proposed mining area.
The proposed use is compatible with current land uses and Weld County planning goals and
policies. The proposed mine area may be characterized as having "limiting site factors" due to
its location in the 100-yr flood plain of St. Vrain Creek. Post-mining land uses include livestock
grazing, wildlife habitat and recreation. These uses are compatible with surrounding land uses
and are consistent with minimum density development and other Mixed Use Development Area
planning goals and policies.

DISTEL FARM PROJECT
AMENDMENT OF USR-877
RESPONSE TO APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS AND QUESTIONS
1. A completed, signed original USR application form, 24 copies and the required
application fee of$1,100 are attached.
2. A detailed discussion of the mining plan is contained in Exhibit D, Attachment 1
(copy of Division of Minerals and Geology 112 (DMG)Permit Application).
a) The types and numbers of equipment are as described in USR-877. No
change in equipment requirements is proposed as part of this amendment.
b) No change in employment or working hours is proposed as part of this
amendment.
c) The mine will be operated as a dry pit. The resource will be dewatered
prior to mining.
d) No change in traffic patterns or local road use is proposed as part of this
amendment. CAMAS Colorado, Inc., Cooley Gravel Division,has a Weld
County Road Maintenance and Improvements Agreement for currently permitted
operations. A copy of this agreement and a map illustrating traffic flow patterns
are provided in Attachment 2.
e) The size of the individual mining areas is discussed in Exhibit D,
Attachment 1.
f) The mining schedule is discussed in Exhibit D, Attachment 1.
g) The mineral deposit is described in Exhibit D, Attachment 1.
h) A reclamation plan and reclamation map are provided in Exhibits E and F,
respectively, Attachment 1. Post reclamation land use will be suitable for
livestock grazing,wildlife habitat and recreation.
i) A letter requesting guidance on reclamation has been sent to the Soil
Conservation Service (SCS). The proposed reclamation measures presented in
Exhibit E of the 112 Permit Application are based on the current USR-877 and
from SCS guidance for properties in the immediate vicinity of the Distel Farm
Project. If recommended by the SCS, reclamation methods will be modified.
\\SRKO\COMMON\Kcloutier\CAMAS\aplicationresponses.doc 1

98215$
3. A listing of property owners within 500 feet of the expansion area is provided in
Exhibit C.1, Attachment 1. Residences within one-half mile of the project are provided
in Attachment 3.
4. A listing of owners and lessees of mineral rights within the proposed expansion
area is provided in Exhibit N, Attachment 1.
5. Documents to be submitted by the Applicant
a) The reclamation plans as submitted to the Colorado Division of Minerals
and Geology are provided in Exhibits E and F, Attachment 1.
b) A water augmentation plan for operational and post closure periods will be
submitted to the State Engineer. A copy of the augmentation plan is provided as
Attachment 4.
c) No modification of drainage structures or county or local access roads will
be required as part of this amendment. One irrigation tailwater ditch currently
passes beneath the existing overland conveyor in a culvert. The ditch will be
relocated during the mining operation and a new culvert beneath the overland
conveyor alignment will be required. The new culvert will be identical to the
existing culvert in diameter, materials, culvert grade and invert elevation relative
to the ditch bottom.
d) No new haul roads will be required to develop the expansion. Haul and
access roads that have been constructed for the existing operations east and south
of the proposed amendment area will be adequate for the proposed operation.
6. The proposed use is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. The
site is currently used for livestock grazing. Soils are suitable for pasture land. The
extraction of mineral resources will not result in a significant loss of prime agricultural
land.
The site is located in the Mixed Use Development (MUD) area. Post-mining conditions
will be suitable for urban open space and recreation areas and compatible with
surrounding post-mining use. Riparian woodland habitat areas will be undisturbed by the
mining operation. Following mining,the area will enhance the quality of the MUD by
providing open space for wildlife movement and visual qualities.
Weld County encourages industrial development that is appropriately located in relation
to surrounding land uses. Mining is currently a major local land use.
The operation will extend existing industrial operation and continue to contribute tax
revenues and employment opportunities.
\\SRKO\COMMON\Kcloutier\CAMAS\aplicationresponses.doc 2
982158
The development is self-supporting and will provide local relief with respect to county
road maintenance expenses.
7. The property is located in MUD area that will be developed in response to urban
growth pressures. The site is characterized as having"limiting site factors"due to its
location in the 100-year flood plain of St. Vrain Creek. As such, lowest density
development is required. Reclamation of the site will be as an open pond with restored
pasture areas peripheral to the pond. The site will be useful for livestock grazing,
wildlife habitat and recreation. These uses are compatible with the Weld County MUD
goals.
8. Presently, there is no agricultural production on the proposed mining area. Soils
are generally suitable for pasture.
9. The applicant will secure the site during non-working. 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 or Weld County.
10. Current local land uses includes 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 livestock grazing,wildlife habitat and recreation. These uses are compatible with
MUD goals and the limiting site factors.
12. The site is located within the 100-yr flood plain of St. Vrain Creek. The area is
designated as Zone A corresponding to Floodprone Zone FP-1,base flood elevations and
other flood hazard factors undefined.
The mine pit is not anticipated to have adverse impacts on local flood hazard potential.
The post-mining lake will increase local flood storage capacity and reduce downstream
flood hazards.
The southern 15 acres of the site will be developed as a permanent overburden stockpile
in Phase 2. It is anticipated that the area will be raised approximately 3 feet above
current ground level. A portion of this area lies inside the southern limit of the 100-year
flood plain as shown the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map Panel 850. During the
intermediate regional flood, this area may be inundated with low velocity flows.
A Weld County Flood Hazard Development Permit is required if the overburden
stockpile will increase the flood flow elevation by one foot. Because the permanent
overburden stockpile is located near the limit of the flood plain and outside the portion of
the floodway that will carry high velocity flood flows and debris, the stockpile is not
expected to affect flood levels.
\\SRKO\COMMOMKcloutier\CAMAS\aplicationresponses.doc 3
ppt1c
) �p
The permanent overburden stockpile will be developed during Phase 2. If required by
Weld County, a Flood Hazard Development Permit will be obtained before mining
activities are commenced in Phase 2. Otherwise,no permanent structures will be created
in floodprone areas in the proposed expansion area.
The proposed expansion area does not lie in 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 amendment.
14. Required legal instruments are provided in Exhibit N, Attachment 1.
15. No increases in equipment usage or changes to the mining operation are proposed
as part of this amendment. The previously submitted noise study from the current
USR 877 permit should be applicable for this amendment.
16. Please refer to Attachment 1, a copy of the DMG 112 Permit Application for
additional project information.

Distel Farm Expansion Project Permit Application Package
1 INTRODUCTION
CAMAS Colorado, Inc., Cooley Gravel Division (Cooley) proposes to expand the
existing Distel Farm Resource sand and gravel operation within Sections 7, 8, 17 and
18, Township 2 North, Range 68 West, in Weld, County, Colorado. The proposed
expansion includes development of 98.9 acres of leased land located south of County
Road 119, southwest of the convergence of St. Vrain and Boulder Creeks just north of
Weld County Road 20 '/2. The property proposed for expansion of mining activities is
known as the Bigelow property. This document provides supporting information for
application to the State of Colorado, Division of Minerals and Geology (DMG) for
amendment of the Construction Material Regular 112 Operation Mining and
Reclamation Permit M-89-029.
Concurrently, an application to the Weld County Planning Commission and Board of
County Commissioners for amendment of Use by Special Review (USR) Permit 877
has been prepared and issued.
It is proposed to mine the Bigelow property in two phases. The Phase 1 area is
located on the western portion of the property (see map in Exhibit B). The Phase 2
area consists of the eastern portion of the property and includes development within
jurisdictional wetlands and waters of the U.S. An Individual U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (COE) 404 (dredge and fill) permit will be required for the disturbance of
these wetlands. No mining will be initiated in the Phase 2 area until a COE permit has
been obtained.

4 EXHIBIT C -PRE-MINING AND MINING PLAN MAPS OF
AFFECTED LANDS
4.1 Immediately Adjacent Land Owners of Record
Property ownership information for immediately adjacent surface land owners of
record is listed on Exhibit C.1.
The nearest residences are located north of St. Vrain Creek greater than 200 feet from
the proposed mining area limits. There is one gas well, located 300 feet southeast of
the proposed permit boundary.
4.2 Surface Features
With the exception of the applicant's conveyor and material handling systems, there
are no significant structures located with 200 feet of the proposed expansion area. No
electrical, communication lines or easements cross the property.
The primary surface water feature within two hundred feet of the proposed expansion
area is St. Vrain Creek. An irrigation tailwater ditch, owned by the Coffin and Davis
Ditch Company, crosses the eastern portion property. Relocation of this ditch will be
required during mining and it will be rerouted through the perimeter setback area.
A FEMA Flood Insurance Study was published for St. Vrain Creek. Most of the
expansion area is located within the 100-year floodplain area for St. Vrain Creek as
shown on Exhibit C.1. Local surface water features are shown on Exhibit C.2
4.3 Topography
Topography may be characterized as flat to very gently sloping over the areas
proposed for mining. Current site topography is shown on the Mine Plan Map, Exhibit
C.3. Surface slopes are generally to the northeast toward St. Vrain Creek.
4.4 Area of Affected Lands
The proposed permit area covers 98.9 acres. The total area expected to be disturbed,
including the mine pits, permanent and temporary overburden and topsoil stockpiles,
and access roads will be approximately 92.5 acres.

CAMAS/Cooley Page 4-2
Distel Farm Expansion Project Permit Application Package
4.5 Vegetation
Vegetation in the expansion area consists primarily of pasture grasses. There are no
wetlands or riparian areas within the area that will be disturbed in Phase 1. Riparian
woodland areas are found adjacent to St. Vrain Creek outside the proposed mining
area. Wetland vegetation (i.e., bullrush and sedge) occurs in the eastern portion of the
Phase 2 area. The approximate extent of these vegetation zones is shown on Exhibit
C.4.
4.6 Permanent or Man-Made Structures
There are no significant permanent or man-made structures located within 200 feet of
the affected lands. The only structure on the affected lands is a horse shelter
belonging to the owner. One residence is located approximately 250 feet from the
northeast corner of the permit area north of St. Vrain Creek.
4.7 Soils
The distribution of soils in the expansion area is shown on Exhibit C.1. Surficial soils
consist of aquolls and aquepts over the majority of the site, with lesser amounts of
Vona sandy loam and Olney fine sandy loam occurring in the southern portion of the
Phase 2 mining area. These soils are described in Soils Survey of Weld County,
Southern Part [United States Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service
(SCS), 1980]. Pertinent excerpts from the soil survey are provided in Exhibit C.1.
4.8 Water Resources
Information on the location and ownership of wells located within one-half mile of the
proposed mining area is provided in Exhibit C.S.
4.9 Wetlands Delineation
A jurisdictional wetland delineation was completed for the project. There were no
wetlands identified within the proposed Phase 1 disturbance area. The wetland
delineation identified 3.1 acres of jurisdictional wetlands and approximately 1 acre of
Waters of the U.S. within the proposed Phase 2 mining area. An Individual 404
(dredge and fill)permit will be required for Phase 2. No mining will be initiated in the
Phase 2 area until the COE permit has been obtained.

5 EXHIBIT D - MINING PLAN
5.1 General
The proposed expansion activities are anticipated to disturb approximately 92.5 acres
of leased land located south of St. Vrain Creek and to the west of the applicant's
existing processing area. The commodity of interest is commercially saleable sand
and gravel.
The property will be mined in two phases. Phase 1 includes the western portion of the
expansion area and consists of approximately 44.6 acres of pasture land. The Phase 2
area is located on the eastern portion of the property and is comprised of
approximately 47.9 acres of pasture land. The limits of the Phase 1 and 2 mining areas
are shown in Exhibit C.3.
The deposit consists of alluvial sand and gravel overlain by topsoil and overburden.
The topsoil layer and overburden layer will range from 0 to 5 feet in thickness, while
the sand and gravel deposit is 5 to 18 feet thick. The deposit is underlain by shale. The
maximum depth of excavation will be on the order of 20 feet.
The groundwater level lies 2 to 5 feet below natural ground level. The deposit is
therefore classified as a wet alluvial deposit; however, mining operations will be
carried out following dewatering. The sand and gravel deposit is cataloged in the
report Sand, Gravel and Quarry Resources, Colorado Front Range Counties
(Colorado Geologic Survey, 1974).
An estimate of overburden and resource volumes for the Bigelow property is as
follows:
Phase 1 (dry tons) Phase 2 (dry tons)
Overburden 282,000 325,000
Resource 1,400,000 1,500,000

982158
CAMAS/Cooley Page 5-2
Distel Farm Expansion Project Permit Application Package
5.2 Mining Method
Dry mining techniques will be used. Initially, a dewatering ditch will be excavated
around the perimeter of the active mining area. Groundwater recovered in the
dewatering ditch will be discharged in accordance with Colorado/NPDES discharge
permit requirements.
Sufficient overburden and topsoil will be placed around the perimeter of the mining
area to enable regrading to be completed at the end of mining. All other topsoil and
overburden will be placed in temporary stockpiles within the mining area limits, or in
a permanent stockpile located in the southern portion of the Phase 2 area. Topsoil and
overburden will be salvaged and stockpiled separately. Topsoil and overburden
stockpile areas are shown on the Mine Plan Map in Exhibit C.3. During Phase 2,
wetland area soils will be separately salvaged and stockpiled for wetland mitigation
purposes.
The deposit will be mined using scrappers and front-end loaders. Mined material will
be loaded on an existing conveyor system for transport to the previously permitted
processing area. Additional conveyors may be constructed inside the mine areas to
facilitate transport of the resource. All processing of mined material will be
accomplished in the previously permitted processing area located east of the Bigelow
property.
Access and haulage roads required for the proposed operations have already been
constructed for access to the previously permitted mining areas. These areas are
located immediately to the south of the Phase 1 and 2 expansion areas (the Sherwood
property). An access road bounds the southern limit of the Phase 1 and 2 mining areas
and the existing conveyor will not require extension. Less than 1 to 2 acres of land
may be disturbed to extend the existing roads into the new mine and stockpile areas.
5.3 Mining Schedule
Mining is currently projected to occur at the rate of approximately 55,000 tons per
month (660,000 tons/year). Based on an estimated reserve of 1.4 million tons in Phase
1, mining will be completed in approximately 2.1 years from the start of operations.
Phase 2 mining will be completed in 4.4 years. Mining is currently projected to
commence in the summer of 1998.

CAMAS/Cooley Page 5-3
Distel Farm Expansion Project Permit Application Package
5.4 Surface Water Management
All mine areas will drain internally. Uncontrolled releases of surface water and
sediment from mining areas will not occur. Stormwater collected in the open pit will
be managed in accordance with Colorado/NPDES discharge permit requirements.
Sediment generated from localized stormwater runoff and surface drainage will be
detained in the ponds created by the proposed mining operation.
5.5 Disturbance Areas
Disturbance areas associated with the proposed expansion are estimated as follows:
Disturbance Area Acres

6 EXHIBIT E—RECLAMATION PLAN
6.1 Post-Mining Land Use
The portion of the Bigelow proposed for development is used primarily for livestock
grazing. The property is located within Weld County's Mixed-Use Development area
along I-25, which will be developed in response to urban growth pressure. Because
the majority of the site is within the 100-year flood plain of St. Vrain Creek, Weld
County classifies the area as having "limiting site factors" due to flood hazard
potential. Weld County Department of Planning Services considers land with limiting
site factors to be suitable for agriculture, recreation and wildlife uses. The post-mining
land uses as proposed in this reclamation plan include livestock grazing, recreation and
wildlife habitat. These uses are compatible with the surrounding land uses and with
the Weld County planning goals.
Reclamation will commence at the end of Phase 2 mining; however, the applicant may
elect to progressively or concurrently reclaim pit wall areas in locations where mining
has been completed. Reclamation, including regrading, seeding and wetlands
mitigation activities, will be completed in 2 to 5 years following the completion of
mining operations.
6.2 Reclamation Measures-Materials Handling
Site reclamation measures are illustrated on Exhibit F. Reclamation of the expansion
area will include creation of a 60.7-acre pit lake. All pit walls will be regraded with
stockpiled overburden. Slopes within 5 feet above to 10 feet below the post-mine
water level will be no steeper that 3H:1V. Elsewhere in the mine area, slopes will be
no steeper than 2H:1 V. Topsoil will be spread over the surface of the regraded slopes
in all areas above the post-mining lake level, and the topsoil-covered surfaces will be
revegetated.
The southern portion of the Phase 2 pit will be backfilled with overburden to near
current ground level. This will be done concurrently with Phase 2 mining. This area
will be covered with topsoil and revegetated.
A permanent overburden stockpile will be developed for excess overburden in the
southern portion of the Phase 2 area as shown on Exhibit F. The stockpile slopes will

N:\Kcloutiier\CAMAS\112_Bigelow_Rpt.doc SRK Project No.54202
982158
CAMAS/Cooley Page 6-2
Distel Farm Expansion Project Permit Application Package
be graded to a stable maximum 3H:1V slope configuration. Topsoil will be spread
over the stockpile and the surface will be revegetated. The elevation of the permanent
stockpile is anticipated to be on the order of 3 feet above current ground level;
however, the volume of excess overburden may necessitate an increase or decrease in
the final elevation of the permanent stockpile. The eastern irrigation tailwater ditch
will be rerouted through the overburden stockpile area.
Reclamation will include reconstruction of approximately 3.1 acres of wetlands that
will be disturbed during Phase 2 mining. These wetlands will be constructed,
revegetated and monitored in accordance with the Individual 404 permit conditions.
Most of the disturbance areas associated with site access and the existing conveyor
alignment were bonded as part of previous permit requirements. Approximately 2
acres of new access road will be required within the permit limits to gain access to the
Phase 1 and 2 pits and the permanent overburden stockpile. Access roads will be
scarified to a depth of 12 inches, covered with topsoil and revegetated.
Site grading will be performed to create stable topography that will be consistent with
post-closure land uses. Reclamation quantities and costs are summarized in Exhibit L.
6.3 Water
Overburden and mine materials will be inert and impacts to local surface water or
groundwater quality are not anticipated to occur as a result of the development or
reclamation of the proposed expansion area. The applicant will comply with all
applicable State water quality laws and regulations. The applicant's Colorado/NPDES
discharge permit will be updated to incorporate discharges from the proposed
expansion area.
Creation of a pit lake at the end of mining will result in an increase in surface
evaporation. A water augmentation plan has been developed for submission to the
State Engineer's Office, Colorado Division of Water Resources, to address post-
mining consumptive use of water.
Any temporary facilities for surface water management that are constructed during the
mining operation will be removed, stabilized and revegetated during site reclamation.

CAMAS/Cooley Page 6-3
Distel Farm Expansion Project Permit Application Package
6.4 Wildlife
The area is used primarily for livestock grazing, however, some indigenous species
may be temporarily displaced by the proposed mining activities. Following
reclamation, it is anticipated that the native species will be reestablished. Existing
riparian habitat areas will be undisturbed by the operation. Submittals to the Colorado
Division of Wildlife (DOW) are contained in Exhibit H.
6.5 Topsoiling
Topsoils in the proposed expansion area are predominantly aquolls, aquents and sandy
loam. These soils will be stripped and stockpiled during overburden removal, and
retained for replacement during site reclamation. At reclamation, topsoil will be
spread over prepared areas in a 6-to 12-inch thick layer.
Topsoil stockpiles will be protected from erosion and other damage by best
management practices. Soil amendments are not expected to be required due to the
nature of the soils, however, topsoil samples will be subjected to agricultural testing
prior to reclamation to assess fertilizer requirements. SCS soil fertilizer
recommendations, if any, will be followed.
6.6 Revegetation
Following topsoil replacement, reseeding will be performed according to SCS
recommended practices. Based on SCS guidance for other local projects having
similar surficial soils, the following revegetation procedures are anticipated:
• Grass seed will generally be planted in unfrozen soil between November 1 and
April 30;
• Grass seed will be planted approximately 1/2 to % inch deep with a grass drill
equipped with depth bands, packer wheels and agitator;

CAMAS/Cooley Page 6-4
Distel Farm Expansion Project Permit Application Package
• The anticipated seed mix and application rates in pounds of pure live seed per acre
are as follows:
30% Blackwell Switchgrass 1.35
10% Asalado Alkali Sacaton 0.10
30%Vaughn Side Oats Grama 2.7
20% Rosana Western Wheat 3.2
10% Reed Canarygrass 0.40
• Critical areas will be covered with straw or hay mulch to control erosion during
germination; and
• Weed control practices will be implemented as required.
These procedures may be modified based on SCS recommendations.
The majority of the local soils are not suited to the establishment of trees or shrubs.
Proposed setbacks will enable preservation of tree- and shrub-covered areas adjacent
to St. Vrain Creek.
Restored wetland areas in Phase 2 will be revegetated in accordance with the
Individual 404 permit conditions. In areas that are peripheral to the post-mining lake,
marsh and aquatic plants will establish themselves. The species of plants anticipated
to naturally occur along the lake shoreline include cattails, sago pondweed,
widgeongrass, wildmillet and bullrushes. These plants should minimize shore erosion
potential.
6.7 Buildings and Structures
No significant structures exist in the proposed mining expansion area. No buildings
will be constructed during the operation, as processing and administrative functions
will be carried out in existing structures located in previously permitted areas. Only
mobile equipment will be used in the mine area. The overland conveyor system
required for transport of sand and gravel to the process area is in place.

8 EXHIBIT G - WATER INFORMATION
8.1 General
Mining in the proposed expansion area will intercept shallow groundwater, which lies
from 2 to 5 feet below the current ground level. Deeper bedrock aquifers that underlie
the site will be unaffected by the mining operation because of the shallow depth of
excavation.
Upon completion of mining, the pit will be refilled utilizing senior and junior water
rights and thereafter, the post-mining water level will be maintained by groundwater
inflow to the mined-out pit. The resulting lake will cover an area of 60.7 acres.
Local surface water ponds, ditches, water courses and tributaries are shown on Exhibit
C.2. The nearest water course is St. Vrain Creek. An irrigation tailwater ditch crosses
the eastern portion of the Phase 2 mining area. Dry Creek discharges into St. Vrain
Creek approximately 2,000 feet west of the proposed mining area. No impacts to Dry
Creek or St. Vrain Creek are expected as a result of mining due to the large size of
their catchments.
Local ponds include the wash ponds and pit lakes in the currently permitted area
operated by the applicant, and an abandoned gravel pit-lake located adjacent to St.
Vrain Creek approximately 3,000 feet west of the proposed mining area.
Boulder Creek and several surface water ponds are located approximately 1 mile east
of the proposed mining area. These surface waters are not expected to be influenced
by dewatering activities in the proposed mining area. Existing mining operations,
which are in closer proximity to Boulder Creek, have not impacted pond levels.
Approximately 3.1 acres of jurisdictional wetlands will be disturbed as a result of the
proposed expansion. Wetland areas will be mitigated in accordance with the
Individual 404 permit conditions.
8.2 Potential Water Resource Impacts
An estimation of the water resource impacts associated with pit dewatering was
performed. The analysis was based on the following assumptions and simplifications:

CAMAS/Cooley Page 8-2
Distel Farm Expansion Project8
PPermit Application Package
• The mine pit is assumed to behave as a well that completely penetrates the upper,
unconfined aquifer;
• The well was assigned an equivalent diameter of 1,800 feet based on the area of
the pit;
• The surficial aquifer was assumed to be a uniform 15 feet in thickness; and
• The surficial aquifer was assumed to be sand and gravel with a hydraulic
conductivity of 1 x 10' cm/sec.
These assumptions were used to develop a simplified groundwater model for a
MODFLOW simulation of potential drawdown effects for steady state conditions (i.e.,
for dewatering over an indefinite and extended time period). The simulation indicated
a drawdown on the order of three feet at a distance of 50 feet from the mine pit, with a
drawdown of approximately 0.2 feet at a distance of 300 feet.
It should be noted that the MODFLOW simulation was performed for the purposes of
general predictions and is not intended to be a definitive estimation of drawdown.
However, the model is based on conservative assumptions that would result in
exaggeration of predicted drawdown. The results suggest very low potential for
impacts to local wells and surface water bodies because they typically lie greater than
2,000 feet from the proposed mine area.
The only wells within 2,000 feet of the mine area limits are located north of St. Vrain
Creek. Because the creek will act as a hydraulic barrier, no impacts to these wells are
anticipated to occur.
8.3 Discharge Permits
The applicant maintains Colorado/NPDES stormwater and discharge permits for
current operations. The proposed mine will be dewatered and operated as a dry mine.
Alluvial groundwater from pit dewatering will be discharged into St. Vrain Creek.
The applicant will update existing Colorado/NPDES discharge permits for the
expansion area and will discharge in accordance with permit conditions.
Process wash water will be recycled and will not be discharged.

Distel Farm Expansion Project Permit Application Package
8.4 Surface Water Management
A surface water management plan is in effect for the currently permitted operations.
The plan will be updated to incorporate the expansion area.
8.5 Consumptive Water Use
The anticipated consumptive uses for water associated with the proposed expansion
operations are discussed in the following subsections.
8.5.1 Moisture Loss in Materials
The proposed expansion operation is anticipated to process approximately 660,000
tons of sand and gravel per year. Based on data for similar materials compiled by the
City and County of Denver, the average moisture content of these materials at the time
of shipment is expected to be four (4) percent. Based on this moisture content, the
moisture loss in the materials is calculated to be approximately 19.4 acre-feet per year.
8.5.2 Dust Control
Dust suppression will be performed by water truck application to roadways. The
amount of water used for dust control will vary based on the time of year and weather
conditions. Only minor new road development will be required to access proposed
mining and overburden stockpile areas. Assuming 100,000 gallons per month for dust
suppression, annual consumptive use associated with the expansion will be
approximately 3.6 acre-feet per year.
8.5.3 Processing Water Consumption
Wash water and sediment collection pond facilities in the existing process area cover
approximately 2.1 acres. Site precipitation averages 13 inches per year while local
free water surface evaporation is approximately 40 inches per year. Therefore, net
evaporation will be approximately 2.25 feet per year. Consumptive use in the wash
water pond used to process the materials from the expansion area will be
approximately 4.7 acre-feet per year.

982158
CAMAS/Cooley Page 8-4
Distel Farm Expansion Project Permit Application Package
8.5.4 Post-Mining Lake Evaporation
The proposed mining operation will create an open body of water with a 60.7-acre
surface area. As a result of pit lake formation and based on an analysis similar to that
presented in Section 8.2, annual post-mining consumptive water use will be
approximately 136.6 acre-feet per year.
8.6 Total Annual Water Consumption
Based on the calculations presented above, total annual consumptive use associated
with the Bigelow property expansion during operations will be on the order 27.7 acre-
feet per year. Post-mining consumptive use will be approximately 136.6 acre-feet per
year.
8.7 Augmentation Plan
A water augmentation plan will be submitted to the State Engineer's Office, Colorado
Division of Water Resources.
8.8 404 Dredge and Fill Permit
A jurisdictional wetlands delineation was completed for the expansion area. There
were no wetlands identified within the proposed Phase 1 disturbance area.
Approximately 3.1 acres of jurisdictional wetlands are located on the eastern part of
the Phase 2 area. An Individual 404 permit will be obtained from COE before mining
activities are commenced in the Phase 2 area.
A 50-foot setback is proposed adjacent to St. Vrain Creek to serve as a buffer zone for
the riparian habitat and wetland areas adjacent to the creek and these areas will not be
disturbed. These setbacks will be increased as necessary to maintain a 50-foot buffer
zone between the pit limit and riparian habitat areas.

9 EXHIBIT H— WILDLIFE INFORMATION
A Mined Land Wildlife Questionnaire has been submitted to the DOW and attached to
this exhibit. Based on previous wildlife assessments prepared by the DOW for the
currently permitted areas, species that are commonly found in the area include dear,
pheasant, rabbits, muskrat, beaver, opossum, waterfowl, raptors, rodents, magpies and
songbirds. While bald eagles have recently been observed in the area, no local bald
eagle nesting sites have been identified on or adjacent to the proposed mining area.
A habitat survey was conducted for the proposed endangered mammalian subspecies
Preble's meadow jumping mouse. The survey indicated that portions of the proposed
mining area may be suitable habitat for the Preble's meadow jumping mouse. The
results of the survey were submitted to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).
Because no federal permits are required for the Phase 1 area, species sampling is not
planned for the Phase 1 area. Setbacks of 50 feet from riparian areas should minimize
potential disturbances to mouse habitat areas. As part of the requirements for the
Individual 404 permit process for the Phase 2 area, species sampling for this mouse is
planned for June 1998. The USFWS requires that mouse sampling (trapping) be
performed between June 1 and September 15.
Local wildlife species may be displaced from the area during operations; however,
they are expected to reestablish themselves when mining and reclamation have been
completed. The proposed mining and reclamation will not hinder local movement of
wildlife. The proposed lake is anticipated to provide valuable habitat to water fowl
and migratory bird species.

8. Proposed Final Land Use: The property is located within Weld County's Mixed
Used Development area, an area that Weld County anticipates will be developed to
accommodate urban growth in the front range corridor. County goals for the area that
includes the proposed expansion area are low density development due to flood hazard
potential, recreation area and wildlife corridors. Reclamation of the site will include
formation of a 60.7-acre post-mining pit lake, revegetation of pit slopes and stockpile
areas with a mixture of grasses, and reconstruction of wetland areas. These
reclamation measures are anticipated to create an area that will be consistent with
Weld County land use goals.
9. Substance to be mined: The operation will excavate and process alluvial sand and
gravel deposits.
10. Type of mining operation: Surface mining.
11. Depth of excavation and distance to nearest surface water flow: The
maximum depth of excavation will be on the order of 20 feet. The nearest flowing
natural water source is St. Vrain Creek. A minimum setback of 50 feet will be
maintained between the mine pits and St. Vrain Creek. Where riparian habitat areas
occur along St. Vrain Creek, setbacks will be increased so that these areas will remain
undisturbed.
12. Total number of acres to be permitted: The portion of the Bigelow property
lying south of St. Vrain Creek is proposed for development. With setback areas, the
total area to be permitted is approximately 98.9 acres.

11 EXHIBIT J- VEGETATION INFORMATION
Vegetation in the proposed expansion areas consists primarily of pasture grasses.
Lowland riparian habitat areas and some wetlands occur adjacent to St. Vrain Creek
and these areas have plant cover typical of riparian habitats, including cottonwood
trees, cattails, bullrushes and associated plants. Setbacks will be maintained around
the riparian areas to protect these areas from disturbance.
There are no wetlands in the Phase 1 disturbance areas. Some wetland vegetation
occurs adjacent to the tailwater ditch in the Phase 2 mining area. Wetland areas
disturbed during Phase 2 will be mitigated in accordance with the Individual 404
permit requirements. No mining will occur in the Phase 2 area until an Individual 404
permit has been obtained from the COE.
A habitat survey was conducted for the threatened plant species, Ute ladies'- tresses
orchid. The survey indicated that suitable habitat areas for the orchid might exist
within the mining areas. Because no federal permits are required for the Phase 1 area,
species sampling is not planned for the Phase 1 area. Setbacks of 50 feet from riparian
areas should minimize potential disturbances to orchid habitat areas. As part of the
Individual 404 permit requirements, a species survey for this orchid will be completed
before mining is initiated in the Phase 2 area. The species survey for this plant will be
conducted between July 20 and.August 31 as required by USFWS.

Distel Farm Expansion Project Permit Application Package
13 EXHIBIT L -RECLAMATION COSTS
Estimated reclamation costs for the proposed Bigelow expansion area are provided in
Exhibit L. Costs are estimated by mining task. Combined Phase 1 and 2 costs, which
are based on full development of the property, do not include wetland mitigation costs.
These costs will be estimated based on the approved wetland mitigation plan as part of
the Individual 404 permit, before mining commences for the Phase 2 area. Access and
haul roads that will be required to develop the property have for the most part been
previously constructed and bonded in the original 112 Permit M89-029. Reclamation
costs for the access roads are discussed in previous permit applications for the Distel
Farm Resource.

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.

Western Mobile Inc., hereinafter called "WMI" and C & M Ready Mix Concrete Company
of Boulder, Inc., hereinafter called "C & M,"
WHEREAS, WMI, C & M, and other gravel operators have acquired land use
permits from the County for gravel mining and plant operations in the area of Rinn,
Colorado, and
WHEREAS, it is anticipated there will be additional land use permits granted by the
County in the future, and
WHEREAS, gravel mining and plant operations are anticipated to continue in the
area of Rinn, Colorado, well into the future, and
WHEREAS, the County roads in the area of Rinn, Colorado, will be impacted by
heavy truck traffic generated from gravel mining and plant operations, and
WHEREAS, present and future gravel operators are required to enter into Road
Maintenance and Improvements Agreements with the County to mitigate the impact created
by heavy truck traffic, and
WHEREAS, haul routes overlap between different gravel operators and the existing
haul routes are difficult and impractical to manage, and
WHEREAS, the maintenance and improvements required will vary over time and
provisions should be made to address future requirements, and
WHEREAS, the County, WMI, and C & M agree it would be advantageous to set
forth an agreement that would provide a basis for future Road Maintenance and
Improvements Agreements.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions
hereinafter set forth, the County, WMI, and C & M mutually agree as follows:
1. The County roads considered in this agreement are haul routes that were
982159
established by land use permits previously granted by the County and are as
follows: Weld County Road 7 between Colorado State Highway 119 and
Colorado State Highway 52; Weld County Road 20.5 between Weld County
Road 7 and the entrance to C & M's gravel mine, which is a distance of

require future gravel operators that use the haul routes described in
Paragraph 1 above, to participate in Road Maintenance and Improvements
Agreements as outlined herein.
4. WMI, C & M, or future gravel operators are required to share in reasonable
future maintenance and improvements when such maintenance is related to
their hauling impacts.

work and share in the equipment, labor, and materials required. Any sharing
done between the gravel operators shall be in separate agreements.
8. If Weld County does not require a future gravel operator to share a
reasonable portion of maintenance and improvements, the County will be
responsible for that portion.
9. If a gravel operator does not participate as outlined in this Agreement, it will
constitute a violation of the operator's land use permits granted by the
County. the County will take remedial measures, within a reasonable amount
of time, against an operator that does not participate.

WATER AUGMENTATION PLAN
N:\Keloutier\CAMAS\attachmentslist.doc
982158
It is anticipated that approximately 660,000 tons of material will be mined annually. The
exposed water surface will be increased from 2.1 acres to 2.4 acres by the addition of a.'.
0.3 acre collection basin. Table 1 and Table 2 illustrate the proposed evaporative and
operational losses associated with the enlarged surface area and increased production. A
total depletion of29.21 acre-ft was calculated and includes water retained in product,
dust suppression, and evaporation from exposed water surfaces.'
The source of the replacement water for the substitute supply plan will remain the same.
as the original plan. Consumptive Use credit from the Coffin&Davis Ditch_will be used
for replacement during the historic irrigation season(April—October) and a lease from
the City of Boulder for effluent has been renewed for non-irrigation season(November
March)replacement.
The operator obtained 30.9%ownership of the Coffin&Davis Ditch with the Distel
Farm property. The ditch was historically used on the Distel property for irrigation of.` •
104 acres of corn,alfalfa, and pasture,grasses. It was determined in the original plan that
the consumptive use associated with the Coffin&Davis Ditch water was 0.99 acre-feet
per acre.
The original substitute supply plan (January 25, 1991)had provisions for drying up 12
acres to offset depletions from the mining operation. The mining operation was
expanded in 1993 and the renewal dated April 9, 1993 increased the dry up acreage to 52
acres to offset the increased depletions: The operator has continued to mine the Distel
Farm property and currently the permitted area, which contained the 104 acres irrigated
by the Coffin& Davis Ditch, has been mined in its entirety.
As stated previously it was determined that the consumptive use associated with the
Coffm& Davis Ditch was 0.99 acre-ft per acre. The dry up of 104 acres will therefore - .
provide 102.96 acre-ft. Monthly quantities of replacement water are shown in Table:3.
The increased dry up is sufficient in quantity to meet depletions during the irrigation.
season: Non-irrigation season replacements will be met by leased water frond,the City of
Boulder. The lease water from the City of Boulder will enter Boulder Creek at the 75h
Street outfall point from Boulder's Wastewater Treatment Plant. A carriage,loss of •
0.25%u per mile has been accounted for in the determination of the required replacement
water. The wastewater treatment plants outfall point is located 16 stream miles upstream
of the Distel Farm Pit. A total of 5.80 acre-ft was leased from Boulder to replace the 4.22
acre-ft of winter time depletions.

This completes the renewal application for the Distel Farm Pit Substitute Water Supply
Plan. If you have any questions or need additional information,please do not hesitate to
call.

PRY UP AGREEMENT
RE: CAMAS Colorado,Inc.—Distel Farm Pit—DMG Permit No.M-89-029
I, as a representative of CAMAS Colorado,Inc.verify that
approximately 104 acres, as identified in the revised substitute supply plan submitted to the State
Engineer's Office,has been taken out of irrigation. The land that bas been dried up due to
mining has historically been irrigated with 30.9%interest of the Coffin&Davis Ditch which is
owned by CAMAS Colorado, Inc.
The water associated with the 104 acre dry up will be diverted back to the river and will not be
used for any purpose other than augmentation of the Distel Farm Gravel Pit. This dry-up
agreement will end when the substitute supply plan for the subject site is terminated or expires.
