Eastin, Current Planner Weld County Department of Planning Services 1400 North 17th Avenue Greeley, CO 80631 RE: Use By Special Review(Mining Operation) Firestien Property Dear Shani: Hall-Irwin Construction Company is applying for a Use By Special Review permit for a mining operation along with concrete and asphalt batch plants. This letter will supply the narrative segment of the application requirements. This letter is formatted in the same numerical order as the procedural guide for the application requirements. 1. The completed application form along with the application fee of$1,455 is attached. 2. A detailed description of the method of the mining operation is as follows: a. The types and numbers of equipment and facilities can be found in Exhibit D of the DMG application. b. Occasionally during the busy periods of the summer and fall construction season two shifts may be employed. Generally only one shift will be used. The maximum number of employees is 40. c. The operation will be a dry pit. d. All trucks will exit from the property onto Weld County Road 27. The majority of the trucks will proceed north and continue either on Weld County Road 27 or travel east on"0" Street. A small amount of trucks will travel south on Weld County Road 27 to Business 34. Trucks will cross the Weld County Road 27 (83rd Avenue) bridge. 962051 11990 Grant Street, Suite 555 •Denver,Colorado 80233 •(303)452-6611 •Fax(303)452-2759 Ms. Shani L. Eastin, Current Planner Weld County Department of Planning Services August 2, 1996 Page 2 e. The phases and size of the phases can be found in Exhibit D of the DMG application. The size of the active mining area at any one time is 2 acres with the total disturbance at any one time of 26 acres. The aggregate processing plant is the largest area at 13 acres. The concrete and asphalt batch plants are located here. From time to time to meet specifications of public and private projects, aggregate may be imported into the processing plant for production of concrete and asphalt. f. A time table giving periods of time for each of the mining phases can be found in Exhibit D of the DMG permit. Overall, we expect the operation to last 30 years and are requesting a 30 year term on the Use By Special Review permit. Production of sand and gravel depends on overall market demand, amount of material used in the concrete and asphalt batch plants, and the amount of outside sales. It may occur that the resource is exhausted slightly ahead of the term of the permit. In this case, the applicant plans to operate the concrete and asphalt batch plants with imported material until the end of the Use By Special Review permit. g. The depth and thickness of the mineral deposit varies from 10 to 25 feet. The thickness of the overburden is from 6 to 12 inches. h. Proposed use of the reclaimed land is as pasture lands. A full explanation of the reclamation process can be found in Exhibit E of the DMG permit. I. Technical advice from the Soil Conservation Service and Tuttle Applegate, Inc. was used to develop the reclamation plan. 3. Please see attached certified list. 4. Please see attached certified list. 5. a. A copy of the application to the Colorado Division of Minerals & Geology is attached with this letter. It includes the reclamation plan map. b. The mining operation will consume water for dust control, moisture in material, and concrete production. This water will be replaced by shares of Whitney Ditch water rights held by Hall-Irwin Construction Company. See Exhibit G of the DMG application for a discussion of these water rights. 962'051 ' Ms. Shani L. Eastin, Current Planner Weld County Department of Planning Services August 2, 1996 Page 3 c. The only drainage structure we are aware of will be a culvert placed in the borrow ditch of Weld County Road 27 for the access drive. A cross-section of this can be found on the extraction plan map. (Exhibit C of DMG permit application). d. A typical cross-section of the paved and unpaved haul roads can be found on the extraction plan map. (Exhibit C of DMG permit application). 6. This Use by Special Review application for a mining operation is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive plan allows for the extraction of a recognized sand and gravel deposit, and promotes the reasonable and orderly development of such. This application proposes to develop a commercial sand and gravel deposit and return the affected lands to a beneficial use. As this proposal will replace the applicants current mining operation, no additional impacts on surrounding land-uses, roads and highways are anticipated. All activities at the mining site are guided by the regulations of the Mine Safety and Health Act(MSHA) and the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA). These requirements along with the Weld County policies help to minimize or eliminate the potential adverse impact of the operation on surrounding properties. The applicant is proposing setbacks, noise controls, dust controls and general site conditions which will all help to comply with the policies and goals of the Comprehensive Plan. Reclamation activities will be concurrent with the mining operation. Disturbances to the site will be minimized as much as possible. Wildlife habitat on the site will be preserved to the extent practicable. 7. This proposal is located on lands that are within the Agricultural District. This zoning designation allows for the extraction of sand and gravel as a Use by Special Review within that district. 8. This resource deposit is located along the Cache la Poudre River. The applicant has made an effort to conserve productive agricultural land by limiting the size of the proposed mining operation and locating the mining area where the sand and gravel reserves are of a known high quality with minimal amounts of topsoil and overburden covering the resource. 362051 Ms. Shani L. Eastin, Current Planner Weld County Department of Planning Services August 2, 1996 Page 4 9. The protection of the health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and the County are being considered by the applicant. Possible fugitive dust emissions from the site will be minimized by watering and revegetation activities. Noise levels from the operation will fall below the requirements for the Agricultural zone. The site will be fenced and signed to help prevent accidents. Only one access point will be used for the truck traffic at the site. As this operation will replace the applicants existing adjacent mining site, the noise dust and traffic levels should not increase. 10. Surrounding land uses are primarily agricultural. There are other permitted sand and gravel extraction operations in the general vicinity. This use is not high intensity development which would increase the amount of traffic in the vicinity of the site, nor will it bring the need for additional housing or support services to the area. Compatibility with the surrounding uses will be assured by setbacks, noise limitations and other restrictions on the operation. 11. Future development of the area within the Agricultural zone may not significantly change the character of the surrounding areas. This area may some day be annexed into the City of Greeley, but it is anticipated that the rural, large-lot character of the area will remain. The reclamation plan for this site would fit into that type of housing development quite easily. 12. This site is not located in a geologic hazard area or the Weld County Airport overlay district area. A portion of the site is located within the flood fringe of the Cache la Poudre River. No permanent structures are proposed for this site. No equipment or stockpiles will be located in the floodway of the river. The creation of a permanent open water area will increase the potential for flood water detention at this site. 13. Drinking water will be supplied at the aggregate processing plants by delivered bottled water. Other consumptive use of water for the mining operation will be augmented by the Whitney Ditch. Exhibit G of the DMG application discusses how replacement of consumptive uses will be achieved. 14. Please see attached"Warranty Deed To Corporation". 15. The noise from the Firestien operation will be very similar to that produced in the existing Herbst Pit. The main source of noise is generated in the aggregate processing plant area. This area is located adjacent to Weld County Road 27 and removed from any residences. Agricultural noise levels will apply to this operation since it is located in an agricultural zone. No extraordinary methods are needed to attain the agricultural noise level at the property line. 962051 • Ms. Shani L.

Ruth Firestien 080530000018 30953 Weld County Road 27 Greeley, CO 80631 962051 EXHIBIT D Mining Plan The Firestien Property has a significant commercial deposit of sand and gravel located in the alluvium of the Cache La Poudre River in Weld County. There are existing mining operations immediately to the south of this property. The west, north, and east sides of the property are in agricultural uses. The deposit will be mined dry through the use of dewatering trenches and pumps. Initially the topsoil and overburden will be stripped by scrapers. The topsoil is 6 to 12 inches in depth and will be stockpiled separately. Some areas of the deposit do have overburden consisting of clayey sand and silty sand. If this is encountered, it will also be stockpiled separately. Later these stockpiles will be used in reclaiming and sloping the lakeshore. With in-progress reclamation, it is the intent of the operator to replace the overburden and topsoil in its final location quickly. As mining progresses, the operator will replace the topsoil and spread it on the lakeshore slopes immediately after it is stripped from a new mining area. With the stripping done, the dewatering trenches will be dug down to the bedrock. These trenches will be constructed on the east, north, and west sides of the area to be mined. Direction of mining is generally to the south. When the alluvium is sufficiently dry, front end loaders will excavate the material and deposit it in haul trucks which will transport the material to the aggregate processing area. The subsurface drilling of the site indicates that the deepest deposits are in the north section and may be up to 25 feet in depth. The shallowest deposits are nearest the river and are about ten feet deep. The mining will create two lakes. The largest lake is in the central portion of the property and the small lake is located within the oxbow on the west side of the property. Parts of the farm not yet disturbed by mining will continue in farming and grazing. The ditch lateral system can be maintained so these areas can be irrigated. The first area to be dug will be the Phase 1 mining area at the east end of the property. It will be a small pit established as a settling pond for the sand and rock washing operation. In addition, excess overburden can be deposited in this hole. The mining will then proceed to the Phase 2 area on the north side of the property. Mining will progress southward to the terrain break of the land which is at the edge of the 100 year flooplain. Mining will then proceed to Phase 3 which is within the oxbow on the west side. The mining will then return to the central portion of the property in Phase 4. D-1 362051 Each year approximately two to five acres of land will be mined. Annual production will depend directly upon the demand for construction materials in western Weld County and eastern Larimer County. The anticipated production is from 100,000 tons to 300,000 tons per year. This production will also vary depending on the amount of outside sales as related to internal production of concrete and asphalt. Generally we believe the mine will progress according to the following time table: Phase 1 2 years Phase 2 8 years Phase 3 4 years Phase 4 14 years Final Reclamation 2 years Total Operation 30 years During this 30 year period, the processing plant will operate. The processing area contains the crushing and screening equipment for the raw material. Some of the material will be washed for use in the on-siteconcrete plant. An on-site asphalt plant will also use some material. Recycling is becoming an accepted method of operation in the industry. Therefore, we will have a plant here to reprocess concrete and asphalt. The following equipment and facilities will be utilized in this operation: Loaders (3) Bottled Water Scraper(1) Aggregate Wash Plant (1) Feeders (3) Fuel Truck (1) Fuel Tank (1) Electric Control Van (1) Screens (2) Mechanic Truck (1) Staking Conveyor(3) Asphalt Batch Plant (1) Generators (2) Portable Toilets (3) Dozer(1) Concrete Batch Plant (1) Crushers (2) Scale (1) Road Grader (1) Ready Mix Concrete Trucks Conveyors (4) Haul Trucks (4) Shop Building (1) Office Trailer(1) Excavator (1) In order to gain an understanding of the extent of the mining operation, it is helpful to know the acres disturbed by different aspects of the mine. We have selected a point in time were the mining disturbance could be at its maximum. This occurs during the mining of the southern end of Phase 2. Here the dewatering ditch will be at its maximum length along with roads to the processing area. There will be shoreline under reclamation at the north end. The following acres of disturbance apply at this time: Stripped overburden and topsoil in anticipation of mining 2 Acres Active mining area 2 Acres Topsoil and overburden stockpiles 1 Acre Dewatering trench 1 Acre Roads 1 Acre Aggregate processing plant 13 Acres Settling pond 2 Acres Lakeshore final graded with topsoil 2 Acres Lakeshore seeded 2 Acres Total Disturbed Area 26 Acres D-2 362051 ' There is a waterline which transects the property diagonally. Prior to its disturbance by mining, it will be relocated on the south and east sides and reconnected to the existing waterline. There are four separate oil and gas facilities within the permit boundary. All of these will be preserved during mining. Access to these facilities will be maintained. There are no underground oil and gas pipelines in the property. The Whitney Ditch is located along the north edge of the property. The ditch will not be disturbed. The sand and gravel deposit varies from 10 to 25 feet deep. The overburden and topsoil vary in thickness from six inches to several feet. Bedrock under the deposit is Pierre Shale. Sand and gravel is the primary mineral produced. Principal intended use of the mine products is construction aggregates. These aggregates will be sold to customers and included in the asphalt and concrete produced on-site. D-3 962051 EXHIBIT E Reclamation Plan The beneficial end use is designated as pasture land incorporated around a lake. The slope and vegetative cover will be conducive to the grazing of cattle and horses. The paved access road into the pasture land area will be left intact. In addition, an access road will be established along the southern and western edge of the mining to provide access to the northern area for maintenance. In the final reclamation state, the land will be reclaimed in the following categories: Lake 80 Acres Pasture land 18 Acres Undisturbed ground 35 Acres Total 133 Acres The mining operation will create a large and a small lake. Mining along the shoreline will be at a maximum of a 3:1 slope. As the mining progresses through a certain length of shoreline, the overburden and topsoil will be replaced on the lakeshore above the projected waterline. In this rural area of Weld County grazing and mining is a predominate land use along the Poudre River. Thus the post mining use proposed here is compatible. The Weld County Comprehensive Plan allows for mining uses in the rural and agricultural zones. The operator will comply with Rule 3.1 according to the following measures: Reclamation Measures/Materials Handling The mining will create the rough topography for the lake shore. Instead of being mined vertically, these lakeshores will be mined at the 3:1 configuration. See detail on Exhibit F for proposed lakeshore configuration. Overburden and topsoil will be placed on the shoreline for final grading. Compaction of this overburden will occur by the scrapers and dozers which place the soil. There are no structures proposed here so no greater compaction is required. Final grading will be done along the contours and revegetation will occur as soon as possible to prevent erosion. Lakeshores will be graded and seeded within one to two years after the mining occurs. The mining will leave no highwalls on the property. No acid forming or toxic materials are used in the mining. There will be no auger holes, adits, or shafts left on the property. The operator will utilize concurrent reclamation in this operation. E-1 /� 9 6 0 51 Backfill generated on the site will include concrete, silts and clays from the materials washing operation and non-marketable fine material. These backfill materials will be compacted on the floor of the processing area and buried along the lakeshore. Inert fill generated off the permit area will also be brought onto the site as backfill. This material could include concrete, soil, brick, and limited amounts of asphalt. Generally any asphalt brought in will be recycled into new product. These off-site inert materials will be disposed of in a similar manner as those generated on-site as described above. Since this material is inert, there will be no release of pollutants. This reclamation plan identifies off-site material to be used as backfill. Therefore, no further notice to the Division is required. Water- General Requirements Disturbance of the area will be done to minimize the effect on the prevailing hydrologic balance as follows: a. The operator shall comply with all applicable Colorado water laws. b. The operator shall comply with all applicable federal and State water quality laws and regulations. c. The operator shall comply with all federal and State requirements for dredge and fill. d. The operator shall regrade all sediment in siltation structures after mining is completed. Groundwater- Specific Requirements The operation will not affect groundwater quality on or off the site. The operation will comply with all State groundwater quality standards. The Firestien Property will be operated similar to the applicant's Herbst Pit, which is adjacent to this permit application, where there have been no water quality violations or problems. In the wash plant, water will be recycled to a settling pond. Flocculants may be utilized to assist in the settling out of suspended solids. Flocculants used will not contain hazardous or toxic materials. The water recycled in the washing operation will not be released into any waterways. The clays and silts salvaged from the washing operation may be used as fill material if the Phase 1 hole becomes filled. All chemicals and materials used in the concrete and asphalt plants will be stored and handled properly according to separate permits with the Colorado Department of Health. Due to the absence of any pollutants, groundwater quality monitoring is not required in this operation. E-2 9E 051 Wildlife The proposed reclamation plan does not propose to create wildlife habitat. All activities will be planned considering the safety and protection of wildlife on the property. Some species may be temporarily displaced by the mining activities. These species are expected to re-establish with no difficulty after the reclamation has been completed. The creation of the lakes will create more opportunities for aquatic birds, mammals, and fish. Topsoiling The top six inches of soil is classified as topsoil. This layer includes the root zone of the grasses and crops. It will be stripped and stockpiled separately. By using concurrent reclamation techniques, the topsoil in the stockpile should only remain for one to two years. If the stockpile remains more then one growing season, it will be seeded with Wheatgrass to prevent erosion. Topsoil will be replaced in reclaimed areas in the same six inch depth. Revegetation The purpose of revegetation is to re-establish the pasture grasses for cattle and horses. Slopes will be no greater than 3:1. The grasses were selected to be long lasting and regenerate themselves. The ground will be fine graded and prepared for seeding. Fertilizers will be used according to recommendations from the Soil Conservation Services. The operator will contact the Soil Conservation Service periodically throughout reclamation for soil tests. If a significant invasion of noxious weeds occurs,the area will be mowed periodically for control. Weeds will be mowed before they go to seed during the first growing season. Mechanical control will be used as a first priority. Chemical methods will only be used if no other alternative produces acceptable results. The following seed mix will be used: PLS/ACRE % OF PLS RATE VARIETY SPECIES (a7 100% MIXTURE PER ACRE Arriba Western Wheatgrass 16.0 40 6.40 Vaughn Sideoats Grama 9.0 30 2.70 Lodorm Green Needlegrass 10.0 10 1.00 Switchgrass 4.5 10 0.45 Kaw Big Bluestem 11.0 10 1.10 100 11.65 Seeds will be planted with a drill equipped with depth bands and press wheels. The seeded areas will then be covered with straw mulch at a rate of 4,000 pounds per acre. The straw will be crimped into the soil to control erosion until the grass becomes established. Seeding will be done between May 1 and November 1 and as soon as possible after fine grading is completed. E-3 s5051 Cattle and horses will not be grazed on the revegetated areas for at least two years so the grasses can become established. Trees and shrubs will be planted in clusters as indicated on the Reclamation Plan Map. Each cluster will contain five to ten trees and ten to twenty shrubs. Trees will be selected from the following list: Willow Cottonwood Hackberry Honey Locust Eastern Red Cedar Rocky Mountain Juniper Ponderosa Pine Scotch Pine Shrubs will be selected from the following list: Winterfat Snowberry Native Plum Sandcherry Rabbit Bush Siberian Peabush Sumac Lilac Tatarian Honeysuckle Trees and shrubs will either be nursery grown or native collected stock. The newly planted trees and shrubs will be watered from a truck for the first several years. Reclamation will occur as mining progress throughout the life of the mine. During the fall those areas mined during the past year will be graded with overburden and topsoil. Seeding and mulching will generally occur in the fall. E-4 r 962051 EXHIBIT G Water Information The Firestein property is located in the lower Cache La Poudre River Basin. The proposed mining operation will impact the Poudre River in the form of depletions due to evaporation and losses associated with the mining operation. However, these impacts are of minor consequence and can be mitigated without injury to senior vested rights. The proposed mining operation will create of two lakes with a total area of 56.3 acres. The lakes will have areas of 3.4 and 52.9 acres respectively. The reclamation plan will leave unlined lakes that will be hydraulically connected to the alluvial aquifer. This reclamation will create an evaporative loss to the aquifer which constitutes a consumptive use. The operator will obtain an approved augmentation plan through the Colorado Water Court system after mining is completed. This augmentation plan will mitigate any injury created by the reclamation of the mined areas. During the mining phase the water depletions will be replaced to the stream under a plan approved by the State Engineer's Office. Approximately the southern half of the proposed mining area is located within the Cache La Poudre River 100 year floodplain as shown by the FEMA map (see attached floodplain map - Exhibit G-2). All work within the floodplain will conform to Weld County Flood Hazard Regulations. Due to the removal of material from the site, the net floodplain cross sectional area will increase and, therefore, provide more flood storage than what currently exists. Water Use Water use at the site will include evaporation from exposed groundwater, water retained from material removed from the site, dust control of haul roads and stockpiles and water used in the batching of concrete. Mining in proposed areas will intercept the water table. In order to allow for dry mining of the material, de-watering trenches will be constructed around the perimeter of the pit and the water pumped into the Poudre River. Therefore, the evaporative losses at the site will only consist of the exposed water within the trenches and the exposed water in the settling pond listed on the site map. Approximately 1.7 acres of water are exposed in the wash ponds. The exposed water associated with the de-watering trenches is estimated at 1 acre. The annual gross evaporation for the site is 42 inches at the subject location as taken from NOAA Technical Report NWS 33. The annual precipitation at the site is estimated to be the same as the nearest weather station to the site which is located in Greeley. The annual mean precipitation is 12.68 inches. G-1 962051 Effective precipitation was determined in order to compute the net lake evaporation. Effective precipitation was computed as 70%of the total precipitation. Effective precipitation was then subtracted from the gross evaporation to obtain the net evaporation. The net annual evaporation from a lake surface at the subject site is 2.8 ft. The resulting net annual evaporation consumptive use during the mining operations is 7.5 acre-ft. The evaporation associated with the post reclamation lakes will be approximately 155.4 ac-ft/year. There will be excavation and stockpiling of mined material on site. The water contained in the material when mined is considered as consumptive use and must be accounted for. The operator anticipates that 300,000 tons of material will be mined and washed from the amended area annually. Assuming a 4% moisture content by weight, as suggested by the State Engineers Office, the depletion would total 8.8 acre-feet per year. Water use at the site also includes water used for dust control. This will include water applied to haul roads and stock piles. It is estimated that dust control will consist of two loads from a 3000 gallon capacity water truck twice a day (Monday through Friday) for nine months. These estimates result in a consumptive use of 1.8 ac-fUyear. Water will also be used in the batching of concrete on the plant. It is estimated that approximately two million gallons of water will be used in the batching of concrete. This results in a annual consumptive use of 6.1 ac-ft. This consumptive use was spread over the nine months which concrete would be produced in. The total consumptive use associated with the mining operations are as follows: Evaporation 7.5 acre-feet Moisture Retained in Product 8.8 acre-feet Dust Control 1.8 acre-feet Water Used in Concrete Production 6.1 acre-feet Total 24.2 acre-feet Table No. 1 gives a detailed breakdown of the augmentation requirements during the mining operations. Table No. 2 gives a breakdown of the requirements after reclamation is complete. These tables are included at the end of this exhibit. G-2 962051 Water Rights The landowner of the amendment area, the Hall-Irwin Construction Company, will be providing the necessary water rights for the operation. The landowner owns shares in the Whitney Ditch which can be made available for augmentation. The average yield of the shares owned by the Hall-Irwin Construction Company is 480 acre-ft annually. For the purpose of calculating the average annual consumptive use of the Whitney Ditch shares, a 50 percent irrigation efficiency was assumed. This results in a consumptive use associated with the shares of approximately 240 acre-ft. This consumptive use far exceeds the losses associated with the mining operations and evaporation from the post reclamation lakes. Augmentation In order to prevent injury of senior water rights along the Cache La Poudre and South Platte Rivers, augmentation of the out of priority depletions at the site will be required. During mining of the amendment area it is estimated that approximately 24.2 acre-ft of groundwater will be consumed each year. A portion of the Whitney Ditch shares described earlier will be committed to augmenting the depletions due to mining. As was mentioned earlier, once the mining operations are complete groundwater will fill the pit. The Whitney Ditch shares listed previously will also be used to augment the approximately 155.4 acre-ft in evaporative losses from the lakes. These long-term augmentation obligations associated with the reclaimed lakes will be established corresponding to Colorado Water Law and formally addressed once mining nears completion. Surrounding Water Rights Exhibit G-1 shows the permitted and/or adjudicated water rights within one half mile of the site. Well and water rights tabulations from the State Engineer's Office was used to locate the surrounding wells and water rights as shown in exhibit G-1. These tabulations are also included at the end of this section. All wells on the opposite side of the Poudre River from the site will not be affected by the mining operation. The River serves as a hydraulic barrier to draw-down from de-watering operations. As shown by exhibit G-1, the Whitney Ditch runs along the north edge of the property. This ditch will act as a hydraulic barrier to wells to the north of the site during times when the ditch is running water. G-3 962051 It should also be pointed out that the Cache La Poudre River in this area is recognized as a "gaining reach" of the river. The River is being recharged in this reach from return flows coming from irrigated agriculture. These return flows will partially help mitigate draw-down from de- watering operations because of the quantity and volume of water that is flowing to the River. The wells that are located in this area are generally associated with agricultural uses and as such would see the majority of the return flows in times when they are needed. Because the site and surrounding areas are located in the shallow alluvial sands and gravel of the Poudre River with a very high transmissivity, the return flows from irrigation in the areas should occur primarily during the irrigation season. As shown by Exhibit G-1 there are some wells to the east and west of the property which could potentially be impacted by the de-watering operations. The well to the west of the site is up gradient from the property which should reduce the impact of the mining operation on the well. If the water levels are dropping in adjacent wells such that well owners may be injured, the operator will begin to implement one or more of the following measures. a. Construct recharge ponds at strategic locations within the permit boundary to begin aquifer recharge. b. Modify existing wells to operate under lower groundwater conditions. This would include re-drilling existing wells to deeper depths or lowering the pumps. All work would be done at the operator's expense with the exception of replacing equipment that was non-functional prior to mining. c. If existing wells cannot be repaired, then the operation will drill a new well for the owner to replace the damaged well. The new well will have to produce water of The same quantity and quality. If a well has not been put to beneficial use prior to mining, the operator will have no responsibility to provide mitigation. Flows within the Whitney Ditch will also need to be monitored as the affect of de-watering operations on the flow in the Ditch. If flows in the ditch are diminished specifically due to de- watering operations, augmentation water in the form of Whitney Ditch share above the amount necessary to augment losses associated with the mining operations will be made available in proportion to the amount and timing of depletions to the Ditch. Discharge Permit A Discharge Permit will be applied for with the Colorado Health Department. This permit will be obtained before mining operations begin. G-4 962051 404 Dredge and Fill Permit The operator will file for a 404 Permit with the Corps of Engineers. This permit will be obtained before mining operations begin. Stormwater Management Plan A Stormwater management plan will be filed for with Colorado Health Department. This permit will be obtained before mining operations begin.

These areas provide limited wildlife resources for forage or cover. In the southwest corner of the site is a remanent oxbow of the Cache La Poudre River that contains a cottonwood-willow lowland riparian plant community. This area contains mature cottonwoods and varied riparian plants that would provide cover and food for a number of wildlife species. Seasonal use of the Cache La Poudre river corridor may vary by species. Migrating waterfowl may use the area for resting and overnight stops from September through December. Bald eagles may use the area for hunting and resting from mid January to mid April after waterfowl season. Various reptiles, amphibians, shorebirds, hawks, owls, small mammals and deer may use the area on a year-round basis for nesting, cover and food. As stated above, Bald Eagles may use this area during the winter. The property does not contain any known roosting trees or nest sites for eagles. There are no other known threatened or endangered species from either the federal or state lists using this area. During mining activities,the additional human activities may disturb some of the animal residents of the area. As the mining is proposed to be confined to specific areas to limit the total disturbed acreage at any one time, this will help limit the disturbance to the wildlife of the area. Following the reclamation of the area there will be additional water area and additional potential wetland or lowland riparian areas. Species impacted by the mining are expected to return to the area following mining, with a possible increase in numbers and species due to the increase in potential habitat. 962051 EXHIBIT J Vegetation Information Present vegetation types covering this site include grasses, forbs, shrubs, trees and crops. The irrigated crops make up the majority of the vegetative cover and include corn and legumes. Grasses and forbs would be found at the perimeters of the crop fields and in the low areas near the river. The potential native vegetation is dominated by alkali sacaton, switchgrass and western wheatgrass. Saltgrass, sedge, rush and alkali bluegrass are also possible. Shrubs and trees consisting of cottonwoods and willows are mainly found in the areas next to the river. Trees, shrubs, grasses and forbs account for less than 10% of the plant cover at this site. Notes on Exhibit C - Pre-Mining and Mining Plan Map, indicate the relationship of the types of vegetation to the existing topography. Notes on the soils map for Exhibit I - Soils Information, indicate the relationship of the present vegetation to the soil types.
