To accommodate trucks entering and exiting the proposed site, deceleration and acceleration lanes are needed to avoid blocking traffic westbound. Right-In/Right-Out only access to the property will assist in westbound flow. Misaligned driveways across East Eighth Street from the proposed site and Andersen's will cause westbound trucks intending to enter Andersen's with a left -turn to block the driveway to the proposed site. In a similar fashion, any eastbound left -turning traffic to the proposed site will block access to Andersen's in either direction. PARKING or TURNAROUND in Andersen's parking lot The use of Andersen's for parking while awaiting access to the proposed site at any time or the use of Andersen's driveway and parking lot for turn-arounds or other repositioning will interfere with business at Andersen's and add excess wear and tear to the driveway and lot. GRAVEL on roadway The current extraction from the gravel mine just west of Andersen's on the east side of Balsam Avenue leaves a trail of mud and gravel along East Eighth Street, contributing to broken windshields and other hazards of excess gravel and dirt in the roadway. The proposed site should consider mitigation to ameliorate the potential for unsafe road conditions caused by excess gravel on the roadway. SUPPORT Andersen's supports development along East Eighth Street including industry, mining, extraction, and redevelopment. Our concerns are limited to the listed items.

The proposed mining site is located adjacent to the City of Greeley city limits on the north, east, and south property lines, as well as being adjacent to 8th Street on the south property line. The Cache La Poudre River is approximately 700 feet south of the site on the south side of the permit boundary. 8th Street is immediately adjacent to the west side of the permit boundary. Access to the site will be located at the southwest corner of the permit boundary off of 8th Street. The dominant land use surrounding the property is agricultural and industrial. An aggregate processing plant and recycle crushing area will be located in Phase 1, and a future concrete and asphalt batch plant area will be located within the Phase 2 mining area as shown on the Mining Plan Map. These areas will contain stockpiles, portable equipment, storage bins, and silos as necessary to support the plant operations. Concrete truck washout and excess concrete product dumping will be included in the future Phase 2 area to ensure that waste materials are recycled and kept from entering the stormwater flows on the site. The concrete truck washout area will be a 30 -foot by 20 -foot three cell concrete structure. Concrete trucks will wash the residual product from their mixing drums and chutes into the first cell of the structure. The first cell spills into the second cell, which spills into the third cell. This allows the aggregate and suspended fines to settle into the cells over time. The water and settled material in the three cells are then removed as required and recycled into the concrete batch plant. Generally, the cells would be cleaned on a weekly schedule. The excess product dumping area will be approximately 50 feet by 100 feet and have an exterior berm to limit the migration of stormwater flows to and from the surrounding areas. Excess product that is deposited in this area will be allowed to cure for approximately 90 days until it becomes inert. It will then be crushed and recycled. All local, State, and Federal rules and regulations will be followed for the storage and handling of any fuel, asphalt, cement, flyash, and admixtures required for the batching facilities. The permit boundary will encompass approximately 85.17 acres which will all be affected acreage, and approximately 72.10 acres being mined. The remaining area will consist of access roads and disturbed land. The following table depicts the different affected acreage: J&T Consulting, Inc. J-2 Contracting Company Sunset Industrial Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Affected Acreage Mining Plan Area (acres) Mined Area 72.10 Access Roads 0.70 Disturbed Land 12.37 TOTAL 85.17 Various setbacks from adjacent roads, adjacent structures, and oil and gas infrastructure will be maintained as mining occurs. All setbacks specified in the surface use agreements with the oil/gas companies will be followed. The final executed agreements are expected to be obtained in the near future and will be forwarded to the Division when they are available. A minimum 200 foot setback from any existing oil/gas facility will be maintained until that time. See Exhibit C, Mining Plan Map, and the Slope Stability Report for the mining limit configuration and information on setbacks and their locations. The mineral deed (attached) also requires that no surface facilities are to be located on this property. The abandoned wells would be cutoff after mining has reached the bedrock surface or the reclaimed slope surface where a new cap and any additional concrete for the existing plug would be needed. McCarty Engineering, LLC has. provided this service for J-2 Contracting and at other mining permit locations for other operators. They are licensed and bonded to obtain approvals from the COGCC to do these types of re -plug services on abandoned oil and gas wells. Products Sand and gravel will be the primary product produced from the Sunset Industrial Pit. The principal intended use for the sand and gravel is for road base and construction aggregates. Subsurface drilling and testing have verified that the Sunset Industrial Pit property contains a significant commercial deposit of sand and gravel. The depth of interbedded sandy clays and clayey to silty sands at the surface range from 0 to 14 feet. The thickness of the aggregate material ranges from 40 to 107 feet where bedrock contact occurs. Mining Methods The deposit will be dry mined and slurry walls will be constructed around the perimeter of the mining area for Phases 1 and 2. Mining will not expose groundwater prior to the slurry wall being constructed around each phase. Design specifications for the slurry wall and quality control procedures used during construction will ensure that the reclaimed reservoir meets State Engineers Office (SEO) performance standards. Dewatering trenches will be excavated around the perimeter of each mining area prior to mining operations commencing. The depth of the ditches will vary as the mining progresses deeper into the alluvium in order to maintain the groundwater level below the active mining bottom surface, and therefore minimize the exposed groundwater surface area. The dewatering ditches will flow to a collection pond, from which the water will be pumped and discharged into recharge areas where overflow will reach a culvert that crosses 8th Street into the Ogilvy Ditch and ultimately reach the Cache La Poudre River. The equipment and facilities may include, but are not limited to the following: J&T Consulting, Inc. J-2 Contracting Company Sunset Industrial Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Processing Equipment Screens, wash plant, crusher, conveyors, stackers, and other miscellaneous processing equipment. Earth Moving Equipment Dozers, loaders, scrapers, excavators, and compactors will be used for mining and earth moving operations. Miscellaneous Equipment Dewatering pumps, electrical trailer, generator trailer, small portable generators and watering trucks will be used as needed. As mining progresses, topsoil and overburden will be stripped to expose the aggregate product below. All soil and overburden material will be used on -site for reclamation; so long-term stockpiling of these materials is not anticipated. Overburden stockpiles will be located within the proposed mining area. The stockpiles will be placed parallel to the floodplain to mitigate impacts to the floodplain. Mining of the aggregate will progress down to the underlying bedrock. Since reclamation will occur concurrently with mining, it is not anticipated that overburden material will be stockpiled long-term prior to use in production of road base. During mining the mining face for Phases 1 and 2 will have a 3H:1V slope to bedrock or the bottom of the future reclaimed reservoir. The processed aggregate material will be temporarily stockpiled near the portable processing plant. Recommendations for monitoring of slope stability, including, conducting a visual inspection of the excavated slopes on a weekly basis for the duration of mining, conducting a visual inspection after a major precipitation event that has saturated the ground using the same procedures, contacting qualified personnel to evaluate and recommend remediation work to stabilize the area in the event a visual inspection detects signs of potential slope failure, and if no visible signs of slope failure are detected during mining, reducing visual inspections to once every six months after mining completion, or after every major precipitation event. All local, State, and Federal rules and regulations will be followed for the storage and handling of any fuel for the facilities. Topsoil Handling Plan As stated previously the topsoil will be stripped to expose the aggregate product underlying the topsoil. The topsoil will be stripped using scrapers and stockpiled in the topsoil stockpile as depicted in Exhibit C. The volume of topsoil for all the mining phases is approximately 115,000 cubic yards. The depth of the topsoil is approximately twelve inches over the majority of the mining area. The topsoil will be stripped and stockpiled during each phase of mining where topsoil will only be removed for Phase 1 and Phase 2 as they are going to be mined. The height of the topsoil stockpile will be approximately 15 feet. Mine Phasing J-2 Contracting anticipates mining and reclaiming the Sunset Industrial Pit in 2 phases, progressing through the phases as shown on the Mining Plan Map. The overall time required to complete the mining and reclamation is estimated to be 12 years based on an average rate of J&T Consulting, Inc. J-2 Contracting Company Sunset Industrial Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application 650,000 tons per year. The initial production is expected to be 300,00 tons per year with the maximum production expected to be 1,000,000 tons per year. However, it is possible that due to demand fluctuations, mining could progress slower than anticipated and additional time may be required for mining and reclamation of the site. The operator is proposing to mine Phase 1 first. Phase 1 is 64.22 acres and the estimated time for mining Phase 1 is approximately 9 years and 6 months.. The operator is proposing to mine Phase 2 second as the area is currently being permitted as an RV storage site so this area will not be mined until after Phase 1. During the mining Phase 2 a slurry wall will be installed around the perimeter of Phase 2 prior to exposing groundwater. Phase 2 is 20.95 acres. The estimated time for mining Phase 2 is approximately 2 years and 6 months. The mining will progress in each phase beginning at the outer edge of the phase where material will be moved toward the interior of the phase such that the mining slope can be established. The mining slope will be established for the entire perimeter of the phase in 3 to 6 feet intervals. Dewaterinq Dewatering trenches will be placed along the perimeter of each mining area in Phases 1 and 2. The dewatering trench around the perimeter of the phase being mined will be placed at the toe of the mining slope. As the phase is mined deeper the dewatering trench will be lowered and moved laterally along the mining slope toward the center of that phase. Slurry walls are anticipated to be installed around the perimeter of Phases 1 and 2 prior to exposing groundwater and mining will continue to commence in those phases and it is expected minimal dewatering will be required after the slurry walls are installed due to the slurry walls cutting off groundwater infiltration into the pit. J-2 Contracting Company will have an approved substitute water supply plan and well permit prior to exposing groundwater. The substitute supply plan will be updated annually to account for water that is consumed due to exposing groundwater by the mining operation. Explosives Explosives will not be used during mining. J&T Consulting, Inc. J-2 Contracting Company Sunset Industrial Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application EXHIBIT E Reclamation Plan Lined water storage reservoirs will be the final reclaimed use for the Sunset Industrial Pit. Portions of mining areas will be reclaimed as "native" areas, which will be re -seeded with native vegetation. The majority of the mining areas will be reclaimed as water storage reservoirs. The remaining area within the proposed permit boundary will consist of reservoir shoreline, unimproved access roads around the reservoirs, and reclaimed vegetated land. Final Land Use Reclamation Plan Area (acres) Reservoir Water Surface 53.60 Access Roads 9.70 Reclaimed Vegetated Land (Disturbed Land and Slopes above Reservoir Water Surface) 21.87 TOTAL 85.17 Water Storage Reservoir In general, the mining limits will be mined down to the shale/claystone/sandstone bedrock. The relatively impermeable bedrock will make the bottom of the reservoir. The reservoir will be separated from the surrounding alluvial aquifer by the slurry wall liner system as detailed in the cross-section shown on the Reclamation Plan Map. The slurry wall liner will be keyed into the bedrock material and extend upward through the height of the alluvium at the bench depicted in the mining plan. A clay liner will be installed above the slurry wall to complete the liner design/construction from the bench elevation to three feet above the reclaimed normal water surface elevation. Design specifications and quality control procedures used during the construction of the slurry wall liner and clay liner will ensure that the reservoir meets the State Engineer's Office (SEO) performance standards for permeability. All reservoir slopes will be reclaimed to at least 3H:1V final grade Since reclamation will be concurrent with mining, most soil, overburden, and bedrock material excavated during mining will be used almost immediately. Scrapers and dozers and compactors will be used to shape the reclaimed slope material along the reservoir perimeters to achieve the final grade. Upon placing the backfill material, 95 percent compaction will be achieved to ensure adequate integrity of the clay liner above the bench, backfilled areas for haul/access roads and recharge pond areas that are not within the future water storage/reservoir footprint. Final reclamation by capping with topsoil and re -vegetating above the expected reservoir water level will follow grading operations as well as backfilled areas that will not be haul/access roads to minimize the amount of disturbance at any one time. Recommendations for monitoring of slope stability, including, conducting a visual inspection of the excavated slopes on a weekly basis for the duration of mining, conducting a visual inspection after a major precipitation event that has saturated the ground using the same procedures, contacting qualified personnel to evaluate and recommend remediation work to stabilize the area in the event a visual inspection detects signs of potential slope failure, and if J&T Consulting, Inc. J-2 Contracting Company Sunset Industrial Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application no visible signs of slope failure are detected during mining, reducing visual inspections to once every six months after mining completion, or after every major precipitation event. During reclamation activities, inlet and outlet facilities for the reservoir will be designed and installed once the operational criteria of the proposed reservoir have been identified by an end user. Reclamation Measures/Materials Handling Backfilling will be done to provide stabilized shorelines around the reservoir and to minimize erosion. The backfill material will consist of gravel, overburden, clay, and topsoil. There will not be known toxic or hazardous materials in the backfill material. Additionally, it is not likely that acid forming or toxic materials will be encountered during mining. The mining will not leave high walls on the property. In addition, there will be no auger holes, excavations, or shafts left on the property. Topsoil will be placed to finalize the grading such that seeding can occur. The topsoil will be placed at all disturbed areas and on the mining slope to an elevation matching the expected reservoir water level. Topsoilinq Approximately the top six inches of soil on the property is classified as topsoil. This layer includes the root zone of grasses and crops, which will be stripped and stockpiled separately. By using concurrent reclamation techniques, the topsoil is not expected to remain in stockpiles for more than one to five years. If the stockpile remains more than one growing season, it will be seeded with a fast-growing vegetative cover to prevent erosion. All topsoil will be retained on - site to reclaim the reservoir shoreline, and other areas disturbed by mining activities. Where required, topsoil will be replaced to a depth of twelve inches. Reveqetation As mining operations are completed, areas for reclamation will be graded and shaped for revegetation. Runoff or excess water from adjacent areas will not be allowed to flow over slopes being graded and seeded. If needed, berms or channels will be constructed to divert excess water and convey it in a safe and non -erosive manner. For disturbed areas, the reclamation plan includes re -vegetating with appropriate seed mixes to minimize erosion and re-establish natural terrain. The seed mixture below was selected to be long lasting and regenerating, as recommended by the Greeley Natural Resource Conservation Service Office (see attached recommendation). The ground will be fine graded prior to seeding and mulch will be applied according to recommendations from the NRCS. Reservoir side slopes below the anticipated reservoir water level will not be seeded. The proposed seed mix is shown in the following table. ElJET Consulting, Inc. J-2 Contracting Company Sunset Industrial Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Final Reclamation Seed Mix Application Rate* (#PLS/acre) % in mix Sideoats Grama (El Reno variety) 2.7 #PLS/ac 30 Western Wheatgrass (Arriba) 4.0 #PLS/ac 40 Green Needlegrass (Lodorm) 2.0 #PLS/ac 20 Blue Grama (Hachita) 0.45 #PLS/ac 5 Switchgrass (Blackwell) 0.5 #PLS/ac 5 Totals 9.65 #PLS/ac 100 'Application rate is for drilling the seed. If seed is to be broadcast, the application rate will be doubled. The seed mix for final reclamation as described above does not require fertilizer as. recommended by the local NRCS office in Greeley, Colorado. The seeded areas will be covered with dead crop litter from sorghum or milo crop forage, or with straw mulch at a rate of 4,000 pounds per acre. If a significant invasion of noxious weeds occurs after seeding, the weeds will be mowed before they can go to seed. The areas will be mowed periodically for additional control as needed. Mechanical control will be used as a first priority. Chemical methods will only be used if no other alternative produces acceptable results. For temporary earthen stockpiles, the reclamation plan includes re -vegetating with appropriate seed mixes to minimize erosion and establish more rapidly to stabilize the stockpiles. If a temporary earthen stockpile remains more than one growing season, it will be seeded with the seed mix below to prevent erosion. The grass mixture below was selected as recommended by the Greeley NRCS field office. The proposed seed mix is shown in the following table. Temporary Stockpile Seed Mix Application Rate* (#PLS/acre) % in mix Slender wheatgrass 3.4 #PLS/ac 44.5 Pubescent wheatgrass 4.2 #PLS/ac 55 Sand dropseed 0.03 #PLS/ac 0.5 Totals 7.63 #PLS/ac 100 * Application rate is for drilling the seed. If seed is to be broadcast, the application rate will be doubled. The seed mix for temporary stockpiles as described above does not require fertilizer as recommended by the local NRCS office in Greeley, Colorado. Water — General Requirement To minimize the effect on the prevailing hydrologic balance, J-2 Contracting Company will: a. Comply with all applicable Colorado water laws. b. Comply with all applicable Federal and State water quality laws and regulations. c. Comply with all Federal and State requirements for dredge and fill. JeFT Consulting, Inc. J-2 Contracting Company Sunset Industrial Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application d. Re -grade and backfill all sediment and siltation structures after mining is completed. e. Monitor groundwater levels adjacent to the site and mitigate any damage to adjacent wells that dewatering activities may have. (See Exhibit G) Groundwater — Specific Requirements The operation will not affect groundwater quality on or off the site. The operation will comply with State groundwater quality standards. The mining and reclamation may affect the groundwater table surrounding the mine site. The proposed mitigation efforts to minimize these impacts are recharge ponds or ditches in necessary areas to maintain groundwater levels during the mining, and a perimeter drain if needed to convey groundwater around the lined reservoir after the pit side liner is installed. A ground water model by McGrane Water Engineering, LLC has also been provided and the results indicate that water levels will be affected by +1-1 ft and there are not any wells within the predicted water level change so the overall impact of the slurry wall and clay liner will be insignificant. J-2 Contracting Company proposes that they monitor groundwater levels through both interior (within phases of the mining) and exterior (outside the slurry wall lining) monitoring wells that they have installed, or have access to before, during, and after the mining and reclamation is complete so that impacts to the groundwater table, from this mining operation, can be identified and addressed. It is the intent of J-2 Contracting Company to operate responsibly and to mitigate any damage to wells that is directly attributable to the mining and reclamation of this site. Reclamation — Approximate Time Table The initial proposed rate of production for the mine is 300,000 tons per year and the maximum proposed rate of production for the mine is 1,000,000 tons per year. The total time frame to mine all phases assuming an average production rate of 650,000 tons per year is approximately 12 years. The following table shows the approximate time frame to finish each phase of mining assuming an average production rate of 650,000 tons per year: Mine Phase and Acreage Time Frame to Complete and Reclaim Phase Phase 1 — 64.22 acres 9 years and 6 months Phase 2 — 20.95 acres 2 years and 6 months The assumed annual production rate is 300,000 tons initially to 1,000,000 tons maximum for processed material leaving the mine each year. The size and area of reclamation varies for each phase but generally consists of the outside mining slope in phases 1 and 2 being reclaimed at a 3H:1 V slope with the addition of clay, overburden, topsoil; and revegetation. For more information on sequencing and size of the reclamation activities refer to Exhibit L financial warranty calculations. J&T Consulting, Inc.

Principal Meridian, County of Weld, State of Colorado lying North of the Eighth Street Road except that portion described in deed recorded September 24, 1982, at reception no. 1904628, Weld County, Colorado. The proposed mining site is adjacent to the City of Greeley city limits, and adjacent to 8. Street. The Cache La Poudre River is approximately 700 feet south of the site on the south side of the permit boundary. 8. Street is immediately adjacent to the west side of the permit boundary. Access to the site will be located at the southwest corner of the permit boundary off of 8. Street. The operation will consist of sand and gravel production and will impact the Cache La Poudre River in the form of depletions due to evaporation and operational losses associated with mining. Mining of the Sunset Industrial Pit mining site will last for approximately 12 years. Once reclamation is complete reservoirs will be created with a total surface area of Reservoir 1 being 41.89 acres and Reservoir 2 11.71 acres. The depth to groundwater ranges from 18 to 40 feet within the permit boundary (measured in MW --1 through MW -5, See the attached piezometer measurements table). The site will be mined down to a depth of 40 to 112 feet thus exposing groundwater to the atmosphere. This exposed groundwater, along with the operational losses associated with the extraction of sand and gravel deposits, will impact the Cache La Poudre alluvial aquifer. These impacts will cause river depletions that must be augmented. Groundwater will be exposed during the mining once the mining depths reach an elevation of approximately 4614. To enable dry mining at the Sunset Industrial Pit mining site, there will be dewatering trenches around the various phases of the site. These dewatering trenches will change in length throughout mining. The maximum length will occur when one phase is completely mined, but before the reclamation has begun on any given phase. The maximum size of dewatering trench will be 3,000 feet long and 5 feet wide, or 0.33 acres of exposed surface area. This water will be collected in a recharge pond totaling 3.5 acres. The water will be pumped into dewatering ditch, which traverses the site, into a recharge pond and ultimately into the Cache La Poudre River. As mining progresses, the dewatering trenches will shift as various cells are reclaimed. The gravel pit will have a slurry wall liner being constructed as mining commences in Phase 1. Water Requirements Water use at the Sunset Industrial Pit mining site will include evaporation from exposed groundwater, dust control of haul roads and stockpiles, and water retained in material removed from the site. J&T Consulting, Inc. J-2 Contracting Company Sunset Industrial Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Evaporative Loss Evaporative losses are dependent on the exposed water surface area, which may shift throughout the mining operation, but will not exceed the maximum. Exposed surface area at the Sunset Industrial Pit mining site will include groundwater exposed in the dewatering trenches and recharge pond. The maximum exposed surface area at the site during mining is estimated at 3.83 acres. J-2 Contracting Company plans to keep the site dewatered throughout the life of the mine. Evaporation data was taken from NOAA Technical Report NWS 33, Evaporation Atlas for the 48 Contiguous United States. The annual gross evaporation was determined to be 45 inches for this location. Monthly evaporation percentages are established by guidelines set by the State Engineer's Office. To determine precipitation, data from the National Weather Service for Greeley, CO (UNC) (1967-2022) was used. The long-term average precipitation at the Sunset Industrial Pit mining site is estimated at 14.69 inches. Effective precipitation is calculated as 70% of the total precipitation. The net evaporation is the difference between gross annual evaporation and effective precipitation. The resulting net evaporation is 2.52 feet. The maximum evaporative loss from the 3.83 acres is 9.67 ac -ft. Operational Loss The average annual production from the Sunset Industrial Pit mining site is estimated at 650,000 tons. Using 4% moisture content, the total associated consumptive use for water retained in the material mined is 19.95 ac -ft. Dust control use is 10,000 gal/day, 6 days/week, 4 weeks/month for 10 months of the year. This equates to 7.4 ac -ft. Maximum annual operational loss is estimated to be 27.35 ac -ft for Phase 1. Consumptive Use The maximum annual consumptive use (operational loss + evaporation loss) at this site during the mining operation is estimated to be 37.02 ac -ft for Phase 1. Replacement Water The replacement of consumptive uses at the site is will be accounted for in a substitute water supply plan (SWSP) approved by the State Engineer. The SWSP will be obtained prior to any mining activities occurring that expose groundwater. Surrounding Water Rights The attached Figure A-1 Well Permits in the Sunset Industrial Pit — Groundwater Evaluation by McGrane Engineering, LLC shows the permitted wells within 600 feet of the mining limits and permitted wells within the boundaries of the groundwater model/evaluation. The well information and locations were obtained from the Division of Water Resources online mapping well permit locator. This well and water rights information was cross checked with the State's CDSS. JET Consulting, Inc.

If the proposed use of groundwater at the Sunset Industrial Pit mining site results in material injury to surrounding _ wells, J-2 Contracting Company will ensure that all necessary measures are taken to address the issues. Water Quality An NPDES permit will be obtained from the Water Quality Control Division at the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment for the Sunset Industrial Pit mining site prior to discharging any groundwater that is dewatered from the site. This permit will be kept current and amended as necessary to ensure that any water discharged from the site will meet the permitted water quality standards. Impacts to Groundwater/Hydrologic Balance. J-2 Contracting Company will monitor the groundwater levels surrounding the site and provide groundwater recharge if necessary via perimeter ditches/ponds. J-2 Contracting Company will construct these ditches/ponds in the locations where direct discharge to an existing adjacent irrigation lateral is not available to ensure that stabilized groundwater levels are maintained. They will discharge dewatering flows into existing adjacent irrigation laterals where possible to limit the disturbance to the surrounding land. Slurry wall liners are proposed around the individual phases and will likely be installed either shortly after mining has begun or prior to mining starting. 6lIZ JET Consulting, Inc. J-2 Contracting Company Sunset Industrial Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application To summarize the mitigation process, as each phase of mining/dewatering occurs, J-2 Contracting Company will monitor the groundwater levels adjacent to mine as each phase progresses. If groundwater levels drop to a level that prevents an adjacent well from performing acceptably, according to that well's owner, J-2 Contracting Company will either implement a groundwater recharge ditch/pond near the well in order to raise the groundwater level in the vicinity of the well and hence return it's operation to acceptable standards, or will negotiate an agreement with that well owner to replace the well or provide replacement water via other means until the mining and reclamation activities are concluded but it is not anticipated that any groundwater levels will drop since the slurry wall for each phase will be installed prior to exposing groundwater. Groundwater wells that are not owned by J-2 Contracting Company or Sunset Industrial, LLC (Table G-1) are potentially located within 600 feet of the mining limits. The exact physical location of these wells will be determined during the SWSP and well permit application processes. If wells are found to be within 600 feet of the mining limits, J-2 Contracting Company will either obtain a well waiver from the owner of the well, or provide an agreement with the well owner that J-2 Contracting Company will mitigate and material damage to the well that is directly attributable to the mining and reclamation of the site. All other wells within 600 feet of the mining limits are either owned by Sunset Industrial, LLC, or are monitoring wells therefore groundwater impacts to these wells do not need to be addressed. See the attached Piezometer Location Map, and Piezometer Data Summary, which show the locations of monitoring wells around the perimeter of the site that J-2 Contracting Company/Sunset Industrial, LLC has either installed or has access to, and the groundwater level data that has been collected for each well.

Lupton, CO 80621 RE: Fair Meadows Pit — Groundwater Evaluation Dear Mr. York: Via email at: jcyork@j-tconsulting.com The proposed Fair Meadows gravel pit mine is located approximately 2 miles east of Hwy 85 in Greeley, Colorado in Section 3, Township 5 North, Range 66 West (6th PM). The site is located approximately1000 feet north of the Cache la Poudre (Poudre) River. Figure Al shows the site, and approximately 122 permitted wells located within approximately 1.5 miles of the site. As part of the mine permit application process, the mine consultant, J&T Consulting, Inc. (J&T) requested that McGrane Water Engineers; LLC. (MWE) determine the potential impacts of a slurry wall around the proposed Fair Meadows pit. Impacts typically include a rise in the water table on the up -gradient side of the slurry wall and a decline in the water table on the down gradient side. Water level increases to within 10 feet of the surface on the up -gradient side of the pit could also cause flooding of low lying structures such as basements. A decline in water levels on the down gradient side could reduce the aquifer saturated thickness and well yields if the decline is significant as discussed below. GROUNDWATER INVESTIGATION To evaluate the groundwater impacts, we: 1. Conducted a literature search of existing published groundwater literature in the vicinity of Greeley, Colorado; 2. Compiled well data from the State's Well database (CDWR, 2022) including: well name, permit number, location, well depth, depth to water, and pumping rate (Table Al); 3. Compiled well data from a geotechnical evaluation conducted by CMT Technical Services dated September 23, 2022 (Appendix B) 4. Evaluated compiled monitoring well water levels taken around the pit by J&T which h shows the seasonal water level fluctuations are approximately 2-4 feet (Table A-2); 5. Evaluated seasonal water level changes observed in 15 registered wells over the past two years (Table A-3); 6. Created a groundwater model to evaluate potential changes in groundwater levels resulting from a slurry wall around the mine; and 7. Prepared this letter report which includes numerous figures that characterize the aquifer and support the results. Fair Meadows Pit Groundwater Evaluation November 19, 2022 Page 2 of 28 A detailed discussion of the Hydrogeologic analysis, model parameter selection and assumptions, and discussion of the model results and their sensitivity and uncertainty are included in Appendix A - Groundwater Evaluation and Modeling. Results We used the USGS MODFLOW2000 (Harbaugh et al, 2000) modeling program to evaluate the existing and future groundwater conditions at the Fair Meadows pit. Using reasonable boundary conditions and aquifer properties, the model predicts that water levels will rise up to +2.5 feet on the up -gradient (northwest) corner of the pit (Figure A9). Mounding up to 1 ft high can be expected within approximately 1000 feet north and west of the mine property. The downstream shadowing effect is constrained within an approximately 1,000 foot wide zone between the pit and the Poudre River, and shadowing does not exceed approximately -1.5 ft. There are no registered production (non -monitoring) wells that are within the area of +1- 1 foot change. Well permit no. 28964 registered to Robert Davis is located in the northwest comer of the Mine property. However, according to the mine engineer (J&T), the Davis property is now owned by the mine and they intend to abandon the well. To evaluate potential high water caused by the slurry wall, we identified 16 registered wells that have reported water level depths (when drilled) less than 10 feet deep. Of these, only well permit 2020-F, belonging to the Summit Group of Southern Wisconsin, is within the zone of expected water level rise of between +0.5 and +1 ft. There are six registered wells that are currently being monitored by Broken Arrow Investments (BAI) that are within the area of expected mounding of 0.5 to 1.0 ft. None of these wells have measured water levels shallower than 11 ft so no impact is expected. Well 374-WCB (Davis Farms) is the only other up -gradient well with an expected rise in the water table between +0.5 and +1.0 ft. The Davis well is reportedly 86 ft deep, with a measured water level of 31 ft when drilled. It reportedly can pump approximately 1200 gpm, one of the highest within the model area. The expected rise in water level will likely benefit production by increasing the aquifer saturated aquifer thickness and available drawdown. Considering that the seasonal water table fluctuates approximately 2-4 feet, and there are no registered wells located within the predicted water level change of +1- 1 ft, we believe the overall impact of the mine slurry wall will be insignificant.

The site is located approximately 1000 feet north of the South Platte River (SPR). Figure Al is a Google Earth image that shows: the pit property, permitted wells color coded by use, pit monitoring wells MW - 1 through MW -5 and the model/study area boundary. Available Data We compiled hydrogeologic data from: • Existing reports from the US Geological Survey and Colorado Division of Water Resources (see Sources below); • Well completion reports from the State's Well database (SEO wells) within approximately 1.5 miles of the proposed pit; This includes 15 registered wells that are currently being monitored by J&T to evaluate water level changes in response to other recently constructed Loloff and Derr pits located west of the Fair Meadows pit; and 5 Fair Meadows Monitoring wells provided by J&T. Table Al includes well data from 122 registered wells extracted from the State's well database (CDWR, 2022). Most of the existing wells are used for domestic water supply and irrigation. Data includes: the well owner, permit number, well type, Colorado State Plane coordinates, registered "use" type, well depth, well yield in gallons per minute (gpm), water level when drilled and depth to bedrock. The reported well depth and depth to bedrock are slightly different but the depth to bedrock is a more accurate indicator of the bottom of the alluvial aquifer. Well statics for all the wells is shown at the bottom of the table. The depth to bedrock ranges from 15 to 134 ft and averages 65 feet. Well yields range from 7 gpm for domestic wells to 1200 gpm for irrigation wells. The depth to water when drilled ranges from 2 to 50 feet and averages 24 feet. Table A2 shows monitoring well data for the five Fair Meadows borehole monitoring wells. The wells were drilled by Cesare, Inc./CMT Technical Services to characterize the site. Details on drilling, materials encountered, well construction and water level information can be found in the report included in Appendix B. The average site depth to bedrock is 85 ft and depth to water is 29 ft which are greater than the model area average. Monitoring Registered Wells Up -Gradient There are two other gravel pits that have been developed in the past 5 years located upgradient from the site. The Loloff Pit was lined in 2017 and the Derr Pit was lined in 2020. Broken Arrow Investments (BAI) is responsible for monitormg 15 neighborhood wells for these projects, and J&T provided us the data to help characterize the aquifer. Monthly water level depth measurements since September, 2019 are shown in Table A3. In summary, the data shows that water levels fluctuate 2- 4 feet due to a combination of: i) general recovery from Loloff and Den dewatering prior after installing their slurry walls; ii) water level changes caused by the slurry McGrane Water Engineering, LLC 1669 Apple Valley Rd. • Lyons, CO 80540 • Phone: (303) 917-1247 E -Mail: dennis@mcgranewater.com Web: ttp://www.mcgranewaterengineering.com Fair Meadows Pit Groundwater Evaluation November 19, 2022 Page 5 of 28 walls; and iii) seasonal fluctuations in the water table due to agricultural pumping and irrigation return flows. Hydrogeology The hydrogeology ofthe SPR alluvial aquifer is described by Lindsay and Others (1998 and 2005), CDM (2006 and 2013) and CSU (2013). Figure A2 shows the site surficial geology (Tweto, 1979). The alluvium within the model areas consists of alluvial sand and gravel (Qa) adjacent to the modern SPR flood plain, and older terrace alluvium (Qg) outside the floodplain. Bedrock consist of the Laramie Formation (1(1), which is primarily a black shale that is exposed beyond the northeastern corner of the model. Figure A2 also shows the well data permits and reported well depths. Wells with a less than (<) sign represent wells that did not encounter bedrock based on their driller's logs. The deepest portion of the surficial sand and gravel is over 100 feet deep and extends north from the Fair Meadows and other existing pits (pink triangles). This suggests that the modern alluvium (Qa) mapped by Tweto likely extends further north than what is shown on the Figure A2. Bedrock Elevation Contours Figure A3 shows the calculated bedrock elevation based on the ground elevation minus the reported depth to bedrock from a "driller's" log. The data was used to update the bedrock elevation contours (aka. structure map) published by the USGS (Hurt and Schneider, 1972). The map shows a deep (over 100 foot deep) erosional "paleochannel" extending from the northwest to southeast across the study area. The depression was eroded into the bedrock by the Poudre River thousands of years ago before the river established its current depositional channel and modern floodplain. The bedrock elevation within the paleochannel drops from approximately 4600 ft in the west to approximately 4530 feet in the east. The Fair Meadows pit is located where the elevation of bedrock drops steeply from 40 ft deep in the southwest corner to over 90 ft deep in the east. Water Level Contours We created a water table map (Figure A4) using available data from registered SEO wells (Table Al), Fair Meadows monitoring wells (Table A2), and the September 2022 measurement from the. monitored registered wells (Table A3). The water table elevation data from SEO wells was determined by subtracting the reported depth to water when drilled from well site elevations interpreted from US Geological Survey 10m Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data sets. The ground elevations for wells in Tables A2 and A3 were surveyed. The 10 ft elevation contour lines shown on Figure A4 are a manual interpolation of the well data and river elevations. The water table on the western portion ofthe model is at an elevation of approximately 4630 ft and the water table gradient falls approximately 25 feet to approximately 4605 ft on the east end of the model. Groundwater flows perpendicular to the contours and generally towards the river. The Poudre River gains in the western side of the map between the 4630 ft and 4620 ft contours and loses between the 4620 ft and eastern edge of the model area. The location of the 4610 ft contour is heavily influenced by the Fair Meadows monitoring wells which appear to have water levels several feet below other nearby wells, which likely is the result of late season irrigation and stock well pumping.

Figure A5 shows how the saturated aquifer thickens from only 40 feet on the west side of the Fair Meadows pit to over 90 feet on the east side within the paleochannel. Well Yield We plotted reported well yields extracted from the State's well database on Figure A6. All of the high capacity municipal and irrigation wells that produce over 1000 gpm (blue) are located in the northern half of the study area where the aquifer is thickest. Well yield is proportional to the aquifer saturated thickness which is expected to slightly increase up -gradient from the Fair Meadows (after it is installed) which will slightly benefit well production in the area, but not an appreciable amount. Aquifer Transmissivity Figure A7 shows the contoured aquifer transmissivity (T) which is the product of the aquifer hydraulic conductivity (a measure of permeability) multiplied by the saturated thickness (Figure A5). The resulting transmissivity distribution used in the model is consistent with USGS mapped values of 200,000 to 400,000 gpd/ft) within the paleochannel and across the Fair Meadows pit site. To obtain the contoured transmissivity values shown in Figure A7, we multiplied the saturated thickness shown in Figure A5 by the hydraulic conductivity. We assigned a constant hydraulic conductivity of 600 ft/day in the middle of the paleochannel which created modeled transmissivity values that closely match the published transmissivity map by the US Geological Survey (Hurt and Schneider, 1972). We used a lower hydraulic conductivity (K) of 300 ft/day on the north and south sides of the paleochannel to represent older terrace deposits. This resulted in lower transmissivity values (<100,000 gpd/ft). The K values we used (300 - 600 ft/day) is a reasonable range for sand and gravel deposits. The range is also consistent with values used by the Colorado Division of Water Resources (250 to 550 ft/day) for the South Platte Decision Support System (SPDSS) groundwater model for this area (CDM-Smith, December 6, 2006, Figure 5c). Modeling We used the Groundwater Vistas (GV) pre and post processor (version 6.85 Build 11, Rumbaugh, Environmental Solutions, Inc.) to construct and run a MODFLOW2000 (Harbaugh et al, 2000) model, and display the results. We exported processed cell -by -cell flow terms from the model into ArcView GIS software to process prepare report figures. The model area is 11,000 feet high (north to south) and 15,000 feet wide (west to east) centered on the Fair Meadows pit. The model consists of 55 rows and 75 columns using 200 foot square model cells.

We assigned MODFLOW "River" cell stage elevations using 10m DEM data, and interpolating in between. The western -most, up -gradient elevation was 4631 ft (ms1) and the eastern -most down gradient elevation was 4605 ft (ms1). The water level gradient from west to east is approximately 0.0017 ft/ft [(4631-4605)115000)]. We modeled the aquifer's connection to the river using the MODFLOW "River" package which uses a streambed conductance term (COND) to calculated flow from one to the other in proportion to the hydraulic gradient of adjacent. A high level of connection mitigates impacts by allowing water to freely flow between the river and aquifer. Therefore, by using the lower end COND value that the data supports, our model creates more conservative (ie. more) modeled impacts. COND is calculated as the product of the streambed unit conductance (Ksb/m) times the wetted river area (length * width). Ksb is the streambed vertical permeability and m is the streambed thickness (m) which we assume is 1 ft so that Ksb/m equals Ksb. CDM-Smith (2006, Figure 9) evaluated the streambed permeability at three sites (SC -8, SC -13, and SC -14) within 10 miles of the FAIR MEADOWS pit, and came up with Ksb values ranging from 362 ft/day to 404 ft/day. We believe these rates are too high because they are too close to horizontal K (kh) values. Tests conducted in 2009 by Leonard Rice Engineers, Inc. (Denver, Co.) in Twn. 2N, Rng. 66W, Sec. 18, arrived at a Ksb value of 36 ft/day (Miller, 2009). We believe 36 ft/day is more accurate because it was determined through rigorous aquifer testing and is approximately 10 times less than the Kh value (300 ft/day in that area). A 10:1 Kh/Kv ratio is a common ratio used for alluvial aquifers. Therefore, to be conservative, we decided to reduce the connection to the river by using a Ksb of 36 ft/day. Using Google Earth imagery taken in September, 2021, we measured the river widths at the 4610, 4620, and 4630 ft elevation contour locations shown on Figure A2, which resulted in an average river width of 61 feet. Representative MODFLOW River cell parameters are shown in the table below. River Length (L) = 200 ft River Width (W) = 61 ft Streambed Conductance (Ksb/m) = 36 day -1 COND .I 439,200 I ft^2/day Model Results We conducted two model runs to evaluate groundwater level changes caused by the Fair Meadows pit slurry wall. Pre -Fair Meadows Slurry Wall Run The initial run <FMpit3> is meant to simulate the water table prior to slurry wall. Figure A8 shows the modeled water table contours compared to "target" contours shown in Figure A3.

This caused the water table to back up (ie. mound) behind the slurry walls as the modeled blue 4630 contour shows (convex east the down -gradient direction). The modeled (blue) 4620 ft and 4610 ft contours are slightly higher than what was observed (white contours) mostly because the observed contours are influenced by late season (September, 2022) irrigation pumping (ie. lower than average). Observed vs. Modeled Heads We compared the observed vs modeled heads at well locations in the figure below. 4670 4660 4650 4640 4630 4620 4610 4600 4590 4580 _ 4580 4600 4620 4640 4660 4680 y=1.0004x W. -0.304__ •e«.f Observed Water Table Elevations (ft.msl) Residual Mean -1.66 Residual Standard Dev. - 9.49 Absolute Residual Mean - 6.93 Residual Sum of Squares .1.01(4004 RMS Error -564 Minima Residual . -33.45 Maximum Residual - 29.40 Ranged Observations - 81.80 Scaled Res.

The best fit line shown above has a slope of 1.0004 : 1 which is a very close to perfect when considering all the data. However, observed levels are slightly higher than modeled up gradient (>4620 ft) values, and observed values are slightly less than the modeled downgradient (<4620 ft) values. We did not spend a considerable time trying to obtain a better match heads because the ultimate objective to estimate potential mounding and shadowing is insensitive to aquifer parameters (discussed below in "Model Sensitivity" section). The "calibration" statistics are shown next to the figure above. The Root Mean Squared (RMS) error (9.64 ft) is the square of the difference between the observed and modeled values (aka "residual"). We feel this value is reasonable considering the data covers over approximately a 60 - year period and recent observations have been effected by pit dewatering, slurry walls and seasonal pumping and return flows. Mass Balance Table A4 shows the model mass balance results which shows the inflow and outflow components that include alluvial aquifer inflow and outflow and river leakages in and out of the Poudre River.

The Poudre river gains approximately 12.8 cfs (17.7- 4.9) within the model area. The mass balance error is 0.0% based on the difference between inflows and outflows. This indicates that the model has a high level of precision as well as accuracy as shown in the calibration statistics. Water Level Changes Caused by the Fair Meadows Slurry Wall In model run <FMpit4>, we turned off the model cells within the Fair Meadows pit to simulate the effect of the slurry wall. Figure A9 is the contoured "difference" in model output heads between the post -pit run minus pre -pit run determined using GIS grid -math techniques. Positive values on the north and west sides of the pit reflect mounding and negative values on the south and east side of the pit reflect lower water levels in the "shadow" of the pit. The maximum change in water level is approximately +2.5 ft in the northwest corner and slightly more than -1.5 ft of decline (shadowing) between the south side of the pit and the Poudre River. There are no registered production (non -monitoring) wells that are within the area where we predict over +1- 1 foot change. Well permit no. 28964 registered to Robert Davis is located in the northwest corner of the Mine property. According to J&T, Mr. Davis' property is now owned by the mine and they intend to abandon it. There are 16 registered wells that have reported water level depths (when drilled) to be less than 10 feet deep. Of these, only well permit 2020-F, belonging to the Summit Group of Southern Wisconsin, is within the zone of expected water level rise of between 0.5 and 1 ft. There are six registered wells that are currently being monitored by BAI that are within the area of expected mounding of 0.5 to 1.0 ft. None of these wells have measured water levels above 10 ft so no impact is expected. Well 374-WCB (Davis Farms) is the only other up -gradient well with an expected rise between 0.5 and 1.0 ft. The Davis well is reportedly 86 ft deep, with a measured water level of 31 ft when drilled. It reportedly can pump approximately 1200 gpm, one of the highest within the model area. The expected rise in water level will likely increase the yield in this well by increasing the saturated aquifer thickness and available drawdown. Considering that the seasonal water table fluctuates approximately 2-4 feet, and there are no registered wells located within the predicted water level change of +/ 1 ft, we believe the overall impact of the mine slurry wall will be insignificant. Model Sensitivity The modeled mound and "shadow" impacts are insensitive to the hydraulic conductivity (K) of the aquifer. An increase in K causes a proportional increase in model inflows, but also increases the hydraulic connection with the Poudre River which offsets any additional mounding or shadow effects. Therefore, we did not spend excessive time trying to match modeled verses observed heads by changing K values. The model results are very sensitive to the presence of surface water, but there is no realistic chance that the Poudre River is going away. Model results are also insensitive to streambed leakance. Even using a conservatively low Ksb value of 36 ft/day, the Poudre River is large enough and the McGrane Water Engineering, LLC 1669 Apple Valley Rd. • Lyons, CO 80540 • Phone: (303) 917-1247 E -Mail: dennis@mcgranewater.com Web: ttp://www.mcgranewaterengineering.com Fair Meadows Pit Groundwater Evaluation November 19, 2022 Page 10 of 28 aquifer is permeable enough to quickly respond to changes in groundwater levels caused by the slurry wall. Model Uncertainty There is uncertainty in our predictions related to measurement and modeling error. USGS 10m DEM Data was used to assign ground elevations to off -site wells. The overall accuracy of expressed as the root mean square error (RMSE) for 10m DEM data for one study in (Haneberg, 2006) is 1.87 m or approximately +/- 6 ft. The accuracy of surveyed site well elevations data is much higher, probably within a tenth of a foot, and the accuracy of hand -measured water levels can vary several inches. Our modeled predictions (Figure A9) include three types of error: 1) conceptual error (how the model is set up and what boundary conditions are used); 2) parametric error (how aquifer properties are measured and calculated); and 3) predictive error (which includes other influences such as seasonal recharge or climate change variations). It was beyond the scope of this project to quantitatively evaluate the sum of these errors. However, based on our professional opinion, we believe our results are reasonably accurate.

MT Consulting, Inc. 305 Denver Avenue, Suite D Fort Lupton, CO 80621 Subject: Groundwater Monitoring Well Installation Mining Property Highway 263 Greeley, Colorado Project No. 22.3050 Dear Mr. York: CMT Technical Services - Colorado (CMTTS) performed drilling and groundwater monitoring well installation at the site of the proposed aggregate mine on Highway 263 in Greeley, Colorado. Figure 1 shows the location of the project site. Five borings were drilled on September 8, 9, and 12, 2022 using a truck mounted CME-55 drill rig equipped with 3-3/4 inch inside diameter hollow stem auger. A representative from CMTTS was onsite to log the borings and observe monitoring well installation. Figure 2 shows the project site with locations of the boring/monitoring wells. Subsurface conditions varied, but consisted of gravelly sands to sandy gravels, with localized layers of sandy clay. Claystone to sandstone bedrock was encountered in all five borings at depths ranging from 40 feet to 112 feet below ground surface. Groundwater was encountered in the five borings at depths ranging from 15 to 40 feet below ground surface. A PVC pipe monitoring well was constructed in each boring. The monitoring wells were constructed with 2 inch diameter PVC factory slotted and threaded pipe. Natural/native sands and gravels, 10/20 silica sand and bentonite chips were used at appropriate intervals as backfill material. The monitoring well riser pipe was completed at a height of approximately 2.5 to 3 feet above existing ground surface and protected with a steel stickup type monument embedded in a 2 by 2 foot concrete pad. A graphic log of the subsurface conditions encountered, locations of sampling, monitoring well construction details, and further explanation of the exploration are presented in the boring logs in Appendix A. Prior to its site visit, CMTTS filed the appropriate "Notice of Intent" form (GWS-51) with the Colorado Department of Water Resources (DWR). After completion of site services, CMTTS filed the appropriate "Well Construction Report" forms (GWS-31) with the DWR. The DWR acknowledged receipt of the GWS-31 forms. CMTTS also filed the well permit document (GWS-46) and paid the well permitting fees. The GWS-51, GWS-31 and GWS-46 forms are found in Appendix B.

Polls, Governor I Dan Gibbs, Executive Director I Kevin G Rein, State Engineer/Director EXHIBIT H Wildlife Information The project area was surveyed for general wildlife habitat by Ecological Resource Consultants (ERC). The Screening Report for Federal and State Listed Threatened and Endangered Species from ERC is attached which describes the wildlife habitat present on the site and the common species that may be found in the habitat area. ERC conducted this screening for federal and state threatened, endangered and species of concern for the approximately 86 -acre survey area. The following provides key items identified as part of the report: 1. Two primary land use class/vegetation cover type exists within the survey area. Habitat within the survey area is characterized as Ruderal Crested Wheatgrass Grassland and Cropland Fallow Field. Historic land use for agricultural practices has led to degradation of the native vegetation community. 2. Generally, there are features on the survey area and the surrounding area that provide general habitat for local songbirds, raptors, and small to mid -size mammals. However, habitat within the survey area is somewhat degraded and of lower ecological value from a wildlife perspective due to historic and current land use for agriculture, which has restricted overall growth and establishment of vegetation. 3. Five (5) inactive non -raptor migratory birds and three (3) inactive non -eagle raptor nests were observed within the survey area. No eagle nests were observed within the survey area or the'A mile surrounding buffer during the field inspection. No mapped CPW SAM protected areas were identified within the survey area. Any future land use changes that may occur within the survey area that remove vegetation during the active nesting season should first ensure that active nests are not disturbed. 4. No federally listed threatened and endangered species and/or habitat protected under the ESA were identified within the survey area. The survey area is not within designated critical habitat of any federally listed species. The vegetation community and features within the survey area were investigated as potential habitat for federally listed species. Any future land use changes will result in No Take on any federal listed species, their habitats, or proposed or designated critical habitat. 5. No State listed threatened or endangered species and/or habitat protected by CPW under Colorado Statute Title 33 were identified within the survey area. The vegetation communities within the survey area were investigated as potential habitat for state listed species. Any future land use changes will have no effect on any state listed species, their habitats, or proposed or designated critical habitat. The Screening Report for Federal and State Listed Threatened and Endangered Species prepared by Ecological Resource Consultants, Inc. includes the following recommendations regarding migratory birds and raptor nest sites in the survey area: a. Based- upon literature review and an onsite assessment of the survey area, ERC has determined that some migratory birds likely utilize the survey area. These birds, their eggs, and active nests are protected under the MBTA and take or possession of these resources is prohibited. Active nests must become inactive prior to destruction of the nest without a USFWS permit. Five (5) inactive non -raptor migratory bird nests were J&T Consulting, Inc. J-2 Contracting Company Sunset Industrial Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application observed within the survey area. The nesting season in Colorado for non -raptor migratory birds occurs between April 1 and August 31 (CPW 2020). Seasonal MBTA non -raptor bird nesting activity status can vary seasonally and from year to year, therefore nesting surveys should be conducted no more than 7-10 days prior any future land use changes to ensure active nests are not disturbed during nesting season. b. Raptor (non -eagle) migratory bird nest sites are further protected by CPW guidelines. CPW has established recommended buffer zones and seasonal activity restrictions for a variety of Colorado raptors. Three (3) inactive raptor nests were observed and no CPW mapped raptor nest protection zones are located within the survey area (CPW 2022a). Inactive raptor nest sites have no regulatory restriction and do not require further agency coordination; however nest activity status can vary seasonally and from year-to-year. Future land use changes may require additional nest surveys (generally between February 1 and September 15 (CPW 2020)) to determine activity status within '12 to' mile of the survey area to ensure compliance with CPW recommendations. c. Eagle nest sites are protected under Bald and Golden Eagle Act, further restricting destruction of any nest without a permit. No eagle nests sites were observed and no CPW nest sites eagle nests sites, communal roost sites, or winter roost sites are mapped on or within the vicinity of the survey area. Inactive eagle nest sites require further agency coordination even when nests are unoccupied as nest activity status can vary seasonally and from year-to-year. Future land use changes may require additional nest surveys (generally to be conducted between December 1 and July 31 (CPW 2020)) to determine activity status within ' to' mile of the survey area to ensure compliance with CPW recommendations.

(ERC) has prepared this report at the request of the property representative, J&T Consulting, Inc. The approximately 86.0 -acre property referred to herein as the Fairmeadows Site (survey area) is located in Greeley, Weld County, Colorado. The survey area is under consideration for potential future land use changes which will likely alter a majority of the current survey area landscape; therefore, this report has been prepared to specifically identify potential federal and state listed threatened and endangered species and/or habitat that could exist on or immediately surrounding the survey area. In addition, this report provides a cursory screening of general wildlife use characteristics and existing vegetation community types. This report has been prepared in accordance with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA), Endangered Species Act (ESA) and Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) Colorado Statute Title 33. 2.0 GENERAL SURVEY AREA DESCRIPTION The survey area is located approximately 0.13 miles east of the intersection of East 8th Street and Weld County Road 43 in Greeley, Weld County, Colorado in the Outlet Cache la Poudre River watershed (HUC 101900071008). More specifically, the survey area is located in Section 3, Township 5 North, Range 65 West, in Weld County (latitude 40.426512° north, longitude -104.652948° west). From the intersection of Interstate 25 and US -34, the survey area can be accessed by heading east on US -34 E for approximately 16.0 miles until reaching US -85 N. Turn on to US -85 N and, continue for 2.3 miles until reaching East 8th Street. Take East 8th Street east for 1.2 mile until reaching the survey area to the northeast. The survey area is predominately upland agricultural land and home sites. Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 fora location map and a US Geological Survey (USGS) topographic map of the survey area. The survey area is situated within the Great Plains ecoregion (Bailey 1976) at an approximate elevation of 4,630 feet above mean sea level (AMSL). The survey area is comprised mainly of an agricultural field, previously disturbed ruderal herbaceous uplands, and home sites in the northern portion of the survey area. The vicinity of the survey area is comprised of agricultural land to the north, west, and east, and industrial development to the south. A dirt road follows the western, northern, and eastern boundary of the agricultural field and leads to the home sites in the northern portion of the survey area. A small patch of reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea), occurs in a depression in the northwest corner of the survey area. The landscape within the survey area is predominantly characterized as the Ruderal Smooth Brome Grassland and Cropland Fallow Field ecological systems (NatureServe 2022). Ruderal Crested Wheatgrass Grassland The Ruderal Crested Wheatgrass Grassland occurs in a wide variety of human -disturbed habitats, including highway rights -of -way, jeep trails, etc. The type is also widely planted for revegetating disturbed land, pasture and hay fields, and has escaped into a variety of habitats, including prairie, riparian grasslands, and mesic mountain meadows (NatureServe 2022). This vegetation community across the survey area is dominated by non-native ruderal herbaceous species such as cheatgrass (eromus tectorum), crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristaum), and slender wheatgrass (Elymus trachycaulus), intermixed with a variety of other ruderal herbaceous species. Vegetative cover across this community generally comprises 25-65% of the ground cover. Cropland Fallow Field The Cropland Fallow Field community is broadly characterized as agricultural and developed vegetation. Agricultural vegetation includes a wide variety of growth forms, often with distinctive cultural forms (e.g., ERC Fairmeadows Site Threatened -Endangered Species and General Wildlife Screening orchards, vineyards, row crops, rice paddies) or structure (e.g., linear spacing, regular mowing, plowing), often to facilitate harvesting. "Agro-mesomorphic"tree, shrub, and herb growth forms are most typical. There is typically regular human management, such as plowing, mowing, or pruning that determines the structure and growth forms that are present. )NatureServe 2022). Within the survey area, this vegetation community is devoid of vegetative cover and has been recently tilled 2 A ERC Fairmeadows Site Threatened -Endangered Species and General Wildlife Screening Fest Collins I re%~mass t 9keseY l'r Legend Approximate Location Survey Area Prepared By* atte ERC 2820 VYrlderness Place Suite A Boulder, CO 80301 (303) 679-4820 ERG #420-2274 FIGURE 1.

VEGETATION COMMUNITY AND WILDLIFE MAP FAIRMEADOWS SITE WELD COUNTY, COLORADO 0 375 750 Feet 7 ERC Fairmeadows Site Threatened -Endangered Species and General Wildlife Screening 3.0 SCREENING METHODOLOGY ERC conducted a literature review as part of initial data collection for preparation of this report. ERC reviewed available literature sources including: CPW information and the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Federal Register. A field inspection was subsequently conducted on September 14, 2022, to identify and document the presence of natural vegetation communities, general wildlife use and potential for threatened and endangered species/habitat. Upon review of all available resources, including literature and field inspections, ERC provides the following determination for the survey area. 4.0 GENERAL WILDLIFE HABITAT (NON -REGULATED) Wildlife utilizes the general landscape in amultitude of ways and uses a variety of habitats as areas of permanent inhabitance, seasonal inhabitance, breeding grounds, migratory routes, for foraging purposes, or as temporary shelter. Potential wildlife habitat includes the entire survey area. Historic and current land use associated with agricultural practices have restricted and/or degraded the development of any significant natural vegetation communities within a majority the survey area, which. limits the overall quality of potential wildlife habitat. Two habitat types were observed within the survey area and are characterized by the Ruderal Crested Wheatgrass Grassland and Cropland Fallow Field communities which comprises the agricultural land and area around the home sites. These vegetation types comprise all of the vegetative cover and is dominated by non-native or weedy species is not typically considered of high ecological value to wildlife; however, agricultural lands can have beneficial values to certain wildlife species. These areas at a minimum are considered "open space" providing limited foraging and hunting grounds, refuge and limited areas for nesting (Kingery 1998). Such lands often serve as a buffer between natural areas, providing food, cover, nesting and open -space habitat which allow movement and exchange of plant and animal populations The pastureland which is present across the survey area has largely replaced the native shortgrass prairie habitat which would have been present in this region. Herbaceous non-native species and ruderal native species which permeate the vegetation community generally do not provide quality habitat for most wildlife. In general, although agriculture practices have altered the structure, function, community composition, and habitat value of land within a majority of the survey area, some areas do provide a variety of wildlife habitat values in an otherwise agricultural landscape. Within the survey area, significant limitations for wildlife use exist due to land use activities such as regular mowing, habitat fragmentation from fences, overgrazing, and noise disturbances from roadways and agricultural practices within the survey area and in areas adjacent to the survey area. Some other local wildlife species that may use this habitat within the survey area include coyote (Canis latrans), red fox (Vulpes vulpes), rabbit (Lepus sp.), cottontail (Sylvilagus sp.), black tailed prairie dog (Cynomys ludovicianus), white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus), meadow vole (Microtus pennsylvanicus), red -winged blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus), mourning dove (Zenaida macroura), killdeer (Charadrius vociferous), western meadowlark (Sturnella neglecta), barn owl (Tyto alba), hawks (Buteo sp.), and garter snake (Thamnophis sp.). These types of species may utilize the survey area; however, have not specifically been identified within the survey area. Generally, there are features within the survey area and the surrounding area that provide general habitat for local songbirds, raptors, and small to mid -size mammals; however, the habitat within the survey area is characterized as Ruderal Crested Wheatgrass Grassland and Cropland Fallow Field, which are degraded from a wildlife perspective by historic and current land use practices. 8 Fairmeadows Site Threatened -Endangered Species and General Wildlife Screening 5.0 MIGRATORY BIRD TREATY ACT Migratory birds are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) (16 U.S.C. 730-712). The MBTA makes it illegal for anyone to take, possess, import, export, transport, sell, purchase barter, or offer for sale, purchase, or barter any migratory bird, or the parts, nests, or eggs of such a bird except under the terms of a valid permit issued pursuant to Federal regulations. In Colorado, all birds except for the European starling (Sturnus vulgaris), house sparrow (Passer domesticus) and rock pigeon (Columba livia) are protected under the MBTA. A total of 523 migratory bird species are known to occur in the Mountain - Prairie Region (USFWS Region 6, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and Colorado); 320 of the 523 migratory bird species are known to breed in USFWS Region 6. Migratory birds likely exist within the survey area. The vegetation communities in the survey area provide at the very least, potential nesting and foraging habitat for migratory birds. Northern flicker (Co/aptes auratus), black -billed magpie (Pica hudsonious), mourning dove, Eurasian collared -dove (Streptopelia decaocto), and horned lark (Eremophila alpestris)were directly observed on the survey area during the field inspection. Such birds are protected under the MBTA and killing or possession of these birds (or their parts and nests) is prohibited under the MBTA. The migratory birds observed likely utilize the survey area primarily for foraging and limited seasonal nesting. Based- upon literature review and an onsite assessment of the survey area, ERC has determined that some migratory birds likely utilize the survey area. These birds, their eggs, and active nests are protected under the MBTA and take or possession of these resources is prohibited. Active nests must become inactive prior to destruction of the nest without a USFWS permit. Five (5) inactive non -raptor migratory bird nests were observed within the survey area. The nesting season in Colorado for non - raptor migratory birds occurs between April 1 and August 31 (CPW 2020). Seasonal MBTA non -raptor bird nestingactivity status can vary seasonally and from year to year, therefore nesting surveys should be conducted no more than 7-10 days prior any future land use changes to ensure active nests are not disturbed during nesting season. Raptor (non -eagle) migratory bird nest sites are further protected by CPW guidelines. CPW has established recommended buffer zones and seasonal activity restrictions fora variety of Colorado raptors. Three (3) inactive raptor nests were observed and no CPW mapped raptor nest protection zones are located within the survey area (CPW 2022a). Inactive raptor nest sites have no regulatory restriction and do not require further agency coordination; however nest activity status can vary seasonally and from year-to-year. Future land use changes may require additional nest surveys (generally between February 1 and September 15 (CPW 2020)) to determine activity status within ih to % mile of the survey area to ensure compliance with CPW recommendations. Eagle nest sites are protected under Bald and Golden Eagle Act, further restricting destruction of any nest without a permit. No eagle nests sites were observed and no CPW nest sites eagle nests sites, communal roost sites, or winter roost sites are mapped on or within the vicinity of the survey area. Inactive eagle nest sites require further agency coordination even when nests are unoccupied as nest activity status can vary seasonally and from year-to-year. Future land use changes may require additional nest surveys (generally to be conducted between December 1 and July 31 (CPW 2020)) to determine activity status within % to % mile of the survey area to ensure compliance with CPW recommendations. 9 Fairmeadows Site Threatened -Endangered Species and General Wildlife Screening 6.0 SPECIES PROTECTED UNDER THE ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT OF 1973 The ESA of 1973 was enacted by the United States to conserve endangered and threatened species and theecosystemsthat they depend on. Under the ESA, species maybe listed as. either "endangered" or "threatened"; both designations are protected by law. The ESA is administered by the USFWS. The USFWS has developed project specific species lists, available online by request, identifying threatened,. endangered, and proposed species, designated critical habitat, and candidate species protected under the ESA:: that may occur within the boundary of a proposed project and/or may be affected by a proposed project (USFWS 2022) (Project Code: 2022-0088046). The species list for the survey area has identified potential for a total of 8 threatened or endangered species within the survey area. Species Not Present The following federally listed threatened and endangered species are identified to occur within Weld County. However, these species are not known to exist within the specific vicinity of the survey area and/or have specific habitat requirements (i.e., elevation range) that are not common inthe vicinity of the survey area. Gray Wolf *Status key: FT— Federally listed as threatened Canis lupus NO TAKE The survey area does not contain the specific habitat characteristics necessary to support this species listed: above. This species and/or critical habitat is not present within the survey area. Therefore, future land use will result in No Take of the species, their habitats, or proposed or designated critical habitat. Water Depletions Species The USFWS under the ESA has determined that water depletions in the South Platte River Basin are considered an adverse effect to the listed species identified below. The survey area is considered to be located within the South Platte River Basin. Pallid sturgeon Scaphirhycchus albus.

Any water related project conducted in the Platte River Basin that has a federal nexus; such asfederal funding or a federal permit (i.e., Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 404 Permit), is subject to ESA Section 7 Consultation with the USFWS. The consultation isa mandate for water depletion projects that may affect. threatened and endangered species that rely on the South Platte River. 10 ERC Fairmeadows Site Threatened -Endangered Species and General Wildlife Screening • The survey_area does not contain the specific habitat characteristics necessary to support the species listed above. -These species and/or critical habitat is notpresent within the survey area. It is :assumed-:.: herein that future land use changes would not be considered a new water depletion. Therefore, the - project would result in No Take to these species. Species Potentially within Range The -following federally listed threatened and endangered species are identified to occur or historically occur within Weld County(USFWS 2022). The survey area is located within the potential known range for these species to occur. Further analysis was conducted to determine if the species or habitat has the. potential to exist within the survey area considering site -specific conditions and characteristics. A brief explanation is provided as to the species life cycle, habitat requirements and potential occurrence within the survey area. The survey area is not within designated critical habitat of any federally listed species. Eastern Black rail :Laterallus/amaicensis ssp. jamaicensis FT •• NO TAKE Preble's meadow jumping mouse Zapus hudsonius preblei FT NO TAKE:' Ute Ladies' -tresses orchid Spiranthes diluvialis FT NO TAKE *Status key: FT— Federally listed as threatened EASTERN BLACK RAIL (LATERALLUS JAMAICENSIS SSP.JAMAICENSIS) Eastern black rail (rail). isa member of the family Rallidae that includes rails, coots, and galliinules. It is one of five recognized subspecies of black rail, two of which, L j. jamaicensis and L. j. coturniculus, are found in North America, but do not co-occur (Clements et al 2021). On November 9, 2020, the: US: Fish and Wildlife Service issued a final rule to list the rail as a federally threatened species under the ESA: The rail are gray -black in coloration, with White speckled upperparts, and hasa grayish crown, a chestnut -colored nape of the neck, and a short tail. Within the interior United States rail are reliably located within the Arkansas :River Valley of Colorado and the northern portion •of the Front Range.: Rail require dense vegetative cover that allows movement underneath the canopy. Because these birds are found in a variety of salt, brackish, and freshwater marsh habitats that can be tidally or non -tidally influenced, plant structure is considered more .important than plaint species: compositionin predicting habitat. suitability. (Flares and Eddleman 1995). Vegetation height is generally less than or equal to 1 meter in coastal habitats, but taller in occupiedcattail and bulrush marshes (Davidson 1992). A 2019 -species: status assessment noted that when shrub densities become too high, the habitat becomes less suitable for eastern black rails. Soils are moist to saturated, occasionally dry, and interspersed with, or adjacent to, very shallow water of 1 to .6 centimeters, (Legate and Eddleman 2001). In Colorado, eastern black rails use habitat with shallow wetlands dominated by cattails (Typha spp.), hardstem bulrush (Scirpus acutus var. acutus) and soft -stemmed bulrush (Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani),.with willow (Salix spp) in the. overstory (Griese 1980). Nests are constructed of live and dead emergent, herbaceous plants, like fine grasses, rushes or sedges, often .with a dense clump of vegetation: that conceals the nest from :above. These nests may be dome shaped and have a ramp of dead vegetation on one side (Harlow 1913) (Todd 1977). Rail are known to occur in herbaceous riparian areas in Weld County. The soils in and around the depression with the small patch of reed canarygrass are dry and devoid of an adjacent water source..:: Due t0 the absence of suitable riparianhabitat, it is unlikely that the rail exist within the survey area.. Any future land use changes on the survey area would result in No Take of this species or potential habitat of this species. 11 ERC Fairmeadows Site Threatened -Endangered Species and General Wildlife Screening PREBLE'S MEADOW JUMPING MOUSE (ZAPUS HUDSONIUS PREBLEI) On May 13, 1998 the US Fish and Wildlife Service issued a final rule to list the Preble's meadow jumping mouse (PMJM) as a federally threatened species under the ESA. PMJM range extends from southwestern Wyoming through eastern Colorado generally below 7,600 feet. Armstrong et al. (1997) described typical PMJM habitats as "well -developed plains riparian vegetation with relatively undisturbed grassland and a water source in close proximity." Also noted was a preference for "dense herbaceous vegetation consisting of a variety of grasses, forbs and thick shrubs" (USFWS 1999). This species is known to regularly travel into adjacent uplands to feed and hibernate. The PMJM hibernates in an underground burrow from September to May. PMJM bears two to three litters per year, averaging five young per litter, in a grass - lined nest. In general, PMJM surveys are recommended for areas with suitable habitat in Weld County below 7,600 feet and within 300 feet of vegetated irrigation canals, ditches, and wetlands. Areas that are highly disturbed or modified (including landscaped lots and paved areas) or wetland areas dominated by cattails are excluded from this recommendation. • PMJM is known to occur in riparian habitat within Weld County (ERO Resources 2006). The survey area and immediate vicinity is not designated as Critical Mouse Habitat by the USFWS (CPW 2014). The USFWS Mouse Block Clearance Map for the Denver Metro Area (ERO 2010) which identifies areas exempt from further review for PMJM habitat, shows the survey area does not occur within the Block Clearance Zone. Vegetation communities in the survey area are not typical habitat for the PMJM consisting primarily of herbaceous cover and lack well -developed shrub and tree cover. Due to the absence of suitable riparian habitat, it is unlikely that the. PMJM exists within the survey. Any future land use changes on the survey area would result in No Take of this species or potential habitat of this species. UTE LADIES' -TRESSES (SPIRANTHES DILUVIALIS) The Ute ladies' -tresses (ULT) is listed as federally threatened under the ESA. The ULT occurs in seasonally moist soils and wet meadows near springs, lakes, or perennial streams and their associated floodplains below 6,500 feet in elevation in certain areas of Utah, Colorado, Idaho, Wyoming, and Nevada. Typical sites include early successional riparian habitats such as point bars, sand bars, and low lying gravelly, sandy, or cobbly edges. They seem to require "permanent subirrigation", conditions where the water table is close to the surface, but they are not tolerant of permanent standing water. Typical habitat is open and sparsely vegetated, populations decline if trees and shrubs invade the habitat. They do not compete well with aggressive species such as reed canary grass or monocultures of cattails. There are known population occurrences of ULT in Weld County. A total of 21 historic and extant populations have been recorded in Colorado in 6 watersheds, none of which have occurred in the Outlet Cache la Poudre River Watershed. The USFWS ULT Block Clearance Zone for the Denver Metro Area (USFWS 2008) which identifies areas exempt from further review for ULT habitat, shows the survey area does not occur within the Block Clearance Zone. The upland agricultural land within the survey area are not typical habitat conducive to the Ute ladies' - tresses. No Ute ladies' -tresses or suitable habitat was identified within the survey area.

State regulations prohibit "any personto take, possess, transport, export, process, sell or offer for sale, or ship and for any common or contract carrier to knowingly transport or receive for shipment" any species or subspecies listed asstate endangered or threatened. The CPW -also has identified State Species. of Special'Concern, are species or subspecies of native wildlife that are currently vulnerable in their Colorado rangeand have the potential to become threatened or endangered. Species of Special Concern are not protected under State regulations but the 'take' of individuals and disturbance of their habitat is strongly discouraged. All state listed species were screened as potential inhabitants of the survey area based on general habitat requirements and CPW Species Profiles.(CPW 2022b). ERC evaluated the species listed by- CPW as threatened or endangered that could potentially exist within the survey area. All animal species listed above as threatened or endangered by the : USFWS are alsolisted by the :•CPW as threatened- or endangered, respectively, therefore were not duplicated below. Species Not Present The following listed threatened and endangered species are identified to occur within the state (CPW 2022b). However, these species are not known to exist: within the specific vicinity of the survey area and/or have specific habitat requirements (i.e., elevation range) that are not common in the vicinity of the survey area (CPW 2020b and USFWS 2020).

These species and/or critical habitat is not present within the survey area. Therefore, any future land use changes will have no effect on the species, their habitats, or proposed or designated critical habitat. Species Potentially within Range The following state listed threatened and endangered species are identified to occur or historically occur within Weld County. The survey area is located within the potential known range for these species. Further analysis was conducted to determine if the species or habitat has the potential to exist on the survey area considering site -specific conditions and characteristics. A brief explanation is provided as to the species life cycle, habitat requirements and potential occurrence within the survey area. *Status key: ST -State listed as threatened SE —State listed as endangered BLACK -FOOTED FERRET (MUSTELA NIGRIPES) The black -footed ferret (BFF) (Mustela nigripes) is a medium-sized mustelid (a member of the weasel family). The BFF is the only ferret species native to the Americas. Its historical range spanned much of western North America's intermountain and prairie grasslands, extending from Canada to Mexico. Historically, BFF habitat coincided with habitats of black -tailed prairie dog (C. Iudovicianus), Gunnison's prairie dog (C. gunnisoni), and white-tailed prairie dog (C. leucurus). Prairie dogs make up more than 90% of the BFF's diet. BFF's are limited to open habitat, the same habitat used by prairie dogs; grasslands, steppe, and shrub steppe. It depends largely on prairie dogs: ferrets prey on prairie dogs and utilize their burrows for shelter and denting (Hillman and Clark, 1980). It has been estimated that about 40-60 hectares of prairie dog colony are needed to support one ferret (Belant and Biggins 2008). BFF's once numbered in the tens of thousands, but due to a combination of human -induced threats they were believed to be extinct twice in the 20th century. As of 2015, BFFs have been reintroduced in the wild at 24 sites across 8 states, Canada, and Mexico. No BFF individuals were observed on or surrounding the survey area. The survey area is located within the overall range of the black -tailed prairie dog; however, no colonies were observed within the survey area. Further, the survey area occurs within the block clearance zone for black -footed ferret surveys (USFWS 2009). Any future land use changes within the survey area should have no effect on the continued existence or potential habitat of this species. 8.0 SUMMARY ERC has conducted this screening for federal and state listed threatened and endangered species and general wildlife for the approximately 86.0 -acre survey area. The following summarizes key items identified as part of this report: 1. Two primary land use class/vegetation cover type exists within the survey area. Habitat within the survey area is characterized as Ruderal Crested Wheatgrass Grassland and Cropland Fallow Field. Historic land use for agricultural practices has led to degradation of the native vegetation community. 14 ERC Fairmeadows Site Threatened -Endangered Species and General Wildlife Screening Generally, there are features on the survey area and the surrounding area that provide general habitat for local songbirds, raptors, and small to mid -size mammals. However, habitat within the survey area is somewhat degraded and of lower ecological value from a wildlife perspective due to historic and current land use for agriculture, which has restricted overall growth and establishment of vegetation. Five (5) inactive non -raptor migratory birds and three (3) inactive non -eagle raptor nests were observed within the survey area. No eagle nests were observed within the survey area or the 'A mile surrounding buffer during the field inspection. No mapped CPW SAM protected areas were identified within the survey area. Any future land use changes that may occur within the survey area that remove vegetation during the active nesting season should first ensure that active nests are not disturbed. 4. No federally listed threatened and endangered species and/or habitat protected under the ESA were identified within the survey area. The survey area is not within designated critical habitat of any federally listed species. The vegetation community and features within the survey area were investigated as potential habitat for federally listed species. Any future land use changes will result in No Take on any federal listed species, their habitats, or proposed or designated critical habitat. 5. No State listed threatened or endangered species and/or habitat protected by CPW under Colorado Statute Title 33 were identified within the survey area. The vegetation communities within the survey area were investigated as potential habitat for state listed species. Any future land use changes will have no effect on any state listed species, their habitats, or proposed or designated critical habitat.

The map unit descriptions in this. report, along with the maps, provide information on the composition of map units and properties of their components. A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class. Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is made up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils. The Map Unit Description (Brief, Generated) report displays a generated description of the major soils that occur in a map unit. Descriptions of non -soil (miscellaneous areas) and minor map unit components are not included. This description is generated from the underlying soil attribute data. Additional information about the map units described in this report is available in other Soil Data Mart reports, which give properties of the soils and the limitations, capabilities, and potentials for many uses. Also, the narratives that accompany the Soil Data Mart reports define some of the properties included in the map unit descriptions.

We received a request for an Approved Jurisdictional Determination (JD) for the above project area. The project area has been reviewed in accordance with Section 404 of the Clean Water Act under which the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regulates the discharge of dredged and fill material, and any excavation activity associated with a dredge and fill project in waters of the United States. At your request, a JD has been prepared for the subject area. Based on a review of available documentation, we have determined that the resources labeled. Ditch 1 on the attached Figure 1: Project Area Features is not a water of the United States. The attached JD form provides rationale for why no resources on the property meet the definition of waters of the United States. Therefore, a Department of the Army permit is not required for the discharge of fill material into this site under Section 404. The JD is attached to this letter. If you are not in agreement with the JD decision, you may request an administrative appeal under regulation 33 CFR 331, by using the attached Appeal Form and Administrative Appeal Process form. The request for appeal must be received within 60 days from the date of this letter. It is not necessary to submit a Request for Appeal if you do not object to the JD. This JD is valid for a period of five years from the date of this letter, unless new information warrants revisions of the JDs before the expiration date, or unless the Corps has identified, after a possible public notice and comment, that specific geographic areas with rapidly changing environmental conditions merit re -verification on a more frequent basis. -2 - If there are any questions please feel free to contact Daniel Ishmael at (720) 948-3266 or by e-mail at Daniel.C.Ishmael@usace.army.mil, and reference Corps File No. NWO- 2022-01381-DEN.

Non -regulated waters/wetlands (check if applicable):3 Boxes checked below shall be supported by completing the appropriate sections in Section III below. 2 For purposes of this form, an RPW is defined as a tributary that is not a TNW and that typically flows year-round or has continuous flow at least "seasonally" (e.g., typically 3 months). 3 Supporting documentation is presented in Section III.F. Potentially jurisdictional waters and/or wetlands were assessed within the review area and determined to be not jurisdictional. Explain: Ditch 1. See reference below in Section III.F. SECTION III: CWA ANALYSIS A. TNWs AND WETLANDS ADJACENT TO TNWs The agencies will assert jurisdiction over TNWs and wetlands adjacent to TNWs. If the aquatic resource is a TNW, complete Section III.A.1 and Section III.D.1. only; if the aquatic resource is a wetland adjacent to a TNW, complete Sections III.A.1 and 2 and Section III.D.1.; otherwise, see Section III.B below. 1. TNW Identify TNW: Summarize rationale supporting cetermination: 2. Wetland adjacent to TNW Summarize rationale supporting conclusion that wetland is "adjacent": B. CHARACTERISTICS OF TRIBUTARY (THAT IS NOT A TNW) AND ITS ADJACENT WETLANDS (IF ANY): This section summarizes information regarding characteristics of the tributary and its adjacent wetlands, if any, and it helps determine whether or not the standards for jurisdiction established under Rapanos have been met. The agencies will assert jurisdiction over non -navigable tributaries of TNWs where the tributaries are "relatively permanent waters" (RPWs), i.e. tributaries that typically flow year-round or have continuous flow at least seasonally (e.g., typically 3 months). A wetland that directly abuts an RPW is also jurisdictional. If the aquatic resource is not a TNW, but has year-round (perennial) flow, skip to Section III.D.2. If the aquatic resource is a wetland directly abutting a tributary with perennial flow, skip to Section III.D.4. A wetland that is adjacent to but that does not directly abut an RPW requires a significant nexus evaluation. Corps districts and EPA regions will include in the record any available information that documents the existence of a significant nexus between a relatively permanent tributary that is not perennial (and its adjacent wetlands if any) and a traditional navigable water, even though a significant nexus finding is not required as a matter of law. If the waterbody4 is not an RPW, or a wetland directly abutting an RPW, a JD will require additional data to determine if the waterbody has a significant nexus with a TNW. If the tributary has adjacent wetlands, the significant nexus evaluation must consider the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands. This significant nexus evaluation that combines, for analytical purposes, the tributary and all of its adjacent wetlands is used whether the review area identified in the JD request is the tributary, or its adjacent wetlands, or both. If the JD covers a tributary with adjacent wetlands, complete Section III.B.1 for the tributary, Section III.B.2 for any onsite wetlands, and Section III.B.3 for all wetlands adjacent to that tributary, both onsite and offsite. The determination whether a significant nexus exists is determined in Section III.C below. 1.

Where there is a break in the OHWM that is unrelated to the waterbody's flow regime (e.g., flow over a rock outcrop or through a culvert), the agencies will look for indicators of flow above and below the break.

SIGNIFICANT NEXUS DETERMINATION A significant nexus analysis will assess the flow characteristics and functions of the tributary itself and the functions performed by any wetlands adjacent to the tributary to determine if they significantly affect the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of a TNW. For each of the following situations, a significant nexus exists if the tributary, in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands, has more than a speculative or insubstantial effect on the chemical, physical and/or biological integrity of a TNW. Considerations when evaluating significant nexus include, but are not limited to the volume, duration, and frequency of the flow of water in the tributary and its proximity to a TNW, and the functions performed by the tributary and all its adjacent wetlands. It is not appropriate to determine significant nexus based solely on any specific threshold of distance (e.g. between a tributary and its adjacent wetland or between a tributary and the TNW). Similarly, the fact an adjacent wetland lies within or outside of a floodplain is not solely determinative of significant nexus. Draw connections between the features documented and the effects on the TNW, as identified in the Rapanos Guidance and discussed in the Instructional Guidebook. Factors to consider include, for example: • Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to carry pollutants or flood waters to TNWs, or to reduce the amount of pollutants or flood waters reaching a TNW? Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), provide habitat and lifecycle support functions for fish and other species, such as feeding, nesting, spawning, or rearing young for species that are present in the TNW? • Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to transfer nutrients and organic carbon that support downstream foodwebs? • Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have other relationships to the physical, chemical, or biological integrity of the TNW? Note: the above list of considerations is not inclusive and other functions observed or known to occur should be documented below: 1.

ERC Project #420-2204 ERC Fairmeadows Site Aquatic Resource Delineation Report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report summarizes the delineation of aquatic resources completed by Ecological Resource Consultants, Inc. (ERC) for the Fairmeadows site (survey area). ERC conducted a formal routine onsite delineation of aquatic resources within the approximately 86.0 -acre survey area located in the City of Greeley, Weld County, Colorado on September 14, 2022. No aquatic resources were identified within the survey area. A small depression in the northwest corner of the survey area was vegetated with hydrophytic species but lacked hydric soil or hydrology indicators. The USGS topographic map depicts an intermittent stream and wetlands in the southeastern portion of the survey area. This area was investigated during the site visit and was determined to be comprised of a dry, upland agricultural field. All areas that have been investigated in the field are mapped on the enclosed Aquatic Resource Delineation Map (Appendix A).

(ERC) for the Fairmeadows Site (survey area). The purpose of this report is to provide a formal delineation of aquatic resources within the approximately 86.0 -acre survey area established for this site. This report documents aquatic resource boundaries for verification and jurisdictional review by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). 2.0 LOCATION The survey area is located approximately 0.13 miles east of the intersection of East 8th Street and Weld County Road 43 in Greeley, Weld County, Colorado in the Outlet Cache la Poudre River watershed (HUC 101900071008). More specifically, the survey area is located in Section 3, Township 5 North, Range 65 West, in Weld County (latitude 40.426512° north, longitude -104.652948° west). From the intersection of Interstate 25 and US -34, the survey area can be accessed by heading east on US -34 E for approximately 16.0 miles until reaching US -85 N. Turn on to US -85 N and continue for 2.3 miles until reaching East 8th Street. Take East 8th Street east for 1.2 mile until reaching the survey area to the northeast. The survey area is predominately upland agricultural land and home sites. Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 fora location map and a US Geological Survey (USGS) topographic map of the survey area.

During the field inspection, dominant vegetation was recorded, representative hydrologic indicators were noted, and soil samples were examined for hydric indicators. Delineation field work for the survey area was completed on September 14, 2022. The weather during the delineation was sunny and windy at approximately 80 degrees Fahrenheit. At the time of the field evaluation, the conditions observed within the survey area were typical for the region and sufficient indicators of vegetation, soils and hydrology were observed to make a wetland determination. The USACE and the Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) jointly define wetlands as: "those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions" [40 CFR 230.3(t)]. Three general environmental parameters define a wetland. These parameters must include the presence of hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils, and wetland hydrology. Except under certain situations, evidence of a minimum of one positive wetland indicator from each of the above parameters must be identified in order to make a positive wetland determination. In addition, waters of the U.S. are also defined as areas that "include essentially all surface waters such as rivers, streams and their tributaries, all wetlands adjacent to these waters, and all ponds, lakes and reservoirs": The boundaries of some waters of the U.S. (i.e., such as streams or lakes) are further defined by the ordinary high water mark (OHWM). The OHWM is characterized as "the line on the shores established by the fluctuations of water and indicated by physical characteristics such as: a clear natural line impressed on the bank, shelving, changes in the character of the soil, wetland vegetation, the presence of litter and debris, and other appropriate means that consider the characteristics of the surrounding areas" (USACE 2005). Areas that do not meet any one of the wetland parameters (hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils and/or wetland hydrology) or non -vegetated stream channel/open water (OHWM) were classified as a non -wetland (upland) and mapped as such. Each wetland determination point was recorded using a hand-held Trimble GeoXH global positioning system (GPS) receiver. The resulting GPS data were post processed using GPS Pathfinder Office 5.85 software. Post processing differential correction provided an average horizontal mapping accuracy of +/- 2 feet. Post -processed GPS data were imported into ArcMap Geographic Information Systems (GIS) (Version 10.6) for spatial analysis and mapping. Any aquatic resources delineated within the survey area are depicted on the Aquatic Resource Delineation Maps are provided as Appendix A. Wetland Determination data sheets are provided in Appendix B. 4 ERC Fairmeadows Site Aquatic Resource Delineation Report 4.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS 4.1 LANDSCAPE SETTING The survey area is situated within the Great Plains ecoregion (Bailey 1976) at an approximate elevation of 4,630 feet above mean sea level (AMSL). The survey area is comprised mainly of an agricultural field, previously disturbed ruderal herbaceous uplands, and home sites in the northern portion of the survey area. The vicinity of the survey area is comprised of agricultural land to the north, west, and east, and industrial development to the south. A dirt road follows the western, northern, and eastern boundary of the agricultural field and leads to the home sites in the northern portion of the survey area. The landscape within the survey area is predominantly characterized as the Ruderal Smooth Brome Grassland and Cropland Fallow Field ecological systems (NatureServe 2022). The Ruderal Crested Wheatgrass Grassland occurs in a wide variety of human -disturbed habitats, including highway rights -of -way, jeep trails, etc. The type is also widely planted for revegetating disturbed land, pasture and hay fields, and has escaped into a variety of habitats, including prairie, riparian grasslands, and mesic mountain meadows (NatureServe 2022). The Cropland Fallow Field community is broadly characterized as agricultural and developed vegetation. Agricultural vegetation includes a wide variety of growth forms, often with distinctive culturalforms (e.g., orchards, vineyards, row crops, rice paddies) or structure (e.g., linear spacing, regular mowing, plowing), often to facilitate harvesting. "Agro-mesomorphic" tree, shrub, and herb growth forms are most typical. There is typically regular human management, such as plowing, mowing, or pruning that determines the structure and growth forms that are present. (NatureServe 2022). 4.2 AQUATIC RESOURCES No aquatic resources were delineated by ERC within the survey area. Six wetland determination data points were taken within the survey area to verify the lack of any aquatic resource habitat. A small area within a depression in the northwestern portion of the survey area contained a dominance of hydrophytic vegetation (reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea)) but lacked indicators for hydrology or hydric soils (data pointDP-U6 in Appendices A and B). The USDA Web -Soil Survey mapping identifies the soils within the survey area as Aquolls and Aquents gravelly substratum, Ellicott -Ellicott sandy -skeletal complex, Dacono clay loam, and Ustic Torriorthents moderately steep (NRCS 2022). Of the mapped soils, Aquolls and Aquents gravelly substratum is listed as hydric soils on the USDA NRCS Soil Data Access Hydric Soils List (NRCS 2022). Refer to Table 2 for a list of vegetation identified within the survey area (Lichvar et al. 2016). The Aquatic Resource Delineation Map is provided as Appendix A. Wetland Determination data sheets are provided in Appendix B. 5 ERC -71 Fairmeadows Site Aquatic Resource Delineation Report Photo 1. View facing southeast cf reed canarygrass within the Photo 2.

Topography across the survey area is gently sloping to the southern boundary of the survey area. Uplands within the survey area are predominantly characterized by the Ruderal Crested Wheatgrass Grassland and Cropland Fallow Field communities (NatureServe 2022). The Ruderal Crested Wheatgrass vegetation community characterized within the survey area is somewhat based on natural vegetation associations in the region; however, have been disturbed by historic and current land use practices thus represent somewhat degraded forms of these communities. A summary of upland habitat within the survey area is provided as follows. Ruderal Crested Wheatgrass Grassland Community The Ruderal Crested Wheatgrass Grassland community within the survey area includes lands within the survey area that can generally be described as open space with exotic grasses dominating the vegetated areas including the areas around the home sites. These areas are generally dominated by herbaceous species such as crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum), kochia (Bassia scoparium), and sand dropseed (Sporobolus cryptandrus). Cropland Fallow Field Community The Cropland Fallow Field community within the survey area includes lands within the survey area that can generally be described as a fallow agricultural field within an unvegetated area. These areas appear to currently be in agricultural use as it has been recently tilled and have sparse -to -no vegetive cover. Refer to Photos 3-10 below for characteristics of upland habitat identified within the survey area. Photo 3. View northwest of the uplards northeast of the agricultural Photo 4.

US Army Corps of Engineers Great Plains —Version 2.0 EXHIBIT K Climate Climate information was available for the Greeley, CO (UNC) weather station from the Western Regional Climate Center. The climate data collected from 1967 through 2022 indicates the average total annual precipitation at the site to be approximately 14.69 inches per year. Monthly average temperature and precipitation data for the 55 -year period of record are provided in the following table: Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec. Annual Average Max.

J-2 Contracting Company Sunset Industrial Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application EXHIBIT L Reclamation Cost A phased and cumulative bonding approach is proposed for the Sunset Industrial Pit mining site operation. The financial warranty required for each phase is the warranty required to completely reclaim that phase. The financial warranty required for each phase of mining includes a cost component for the slurry wall liner required to close the current mined area should project be stopped and the operator defaulted. Because the slurry wall liner required to close the current mined area for each phase of mining is replaced with a new slurry wall liner required to close the current mined area component as the next phase of mining occurs, the financial warranty required for this component for the previous phase is credited back in each phase's required financial warranty calculation. This accurately calculates the additional financial warranty required for any given phase of mining and for the current limit of disturbance as well as accounting for the financial warranty that has already been posted to ensure that the Division has sufficient cumulative financial warranty to complete the reclamation. Direct costs related to the construction of the reclamation components that have been included in the financial warranty calculations include: Scarifying disturbed ground surfaces, re -applying topsoil over disturbed areas, revegetating disturbed areas, dewatering the full pit, slurry wall liner construction, and contractor mobilization. The slurry wall liner construction costs have been broken down further to include costs for different depths to bedrock as provided from the DRMS on previous 112 applications. Overhead, profit, and project management costs were then calculated and added to the direct construction costs to arrive at the required financial warranty for each phase. As each new phase is started, the financial warranty for that phase will be posted with the Division. When a phase has been reclaimed, inspected, and accepted by the Division, the associated financial warranty for that phase can then be reduced/released to 20% of the financial warranty required for that phase. Please see the attached calculations for details of the costs and quantities used to determine the financial warranty required for each phase of mining. The following table summarizes the financial warranty required for each phase, and the cumulative financial warranty that will be provided during any given phase.

J-2 Contracting Company— Sunset Industrial Pit Slope Stability Analysis Page ii INTRODUCTION J-2 Contracting Company proposes to mine the property located in the west half of Section 3, Township 5 North, Range 65 West of the 6th Principal Meridian, in Weld County, Colorado. The property is bounded by the private property on the west, the Greeley -Weld County Airport on the north and east, private property on the east, and East 8th Street on the south. The proposed mining operation will extract gravel reserves from locations adjacent to man-made structures. The rules and regulations of the Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety (DRMS) require that any mining within a 200 -foot setback of a man-made structure show thorough engineering analysis that the proposed mining will not cause damage to the structure. The accepted method of demonstrating this is through a slope stability analysis. This report contains an overview of the methodology used in the analysis of the mining slopes and their estimated affects on all man-made structures. Recommendations regarding acceptable setbacks from man-made structures have also been included. OVERVIEW The DRMS mining plan proposes that the property will be mined in 2 pits, and reclaimed as a water storage reservoir. The mining will occur at 3H:1V slopes. A bench will be constructed during mining to allow a slurry wall to be installed around the perimeter of each pit. Clay soils will be placed above the bench to complete the reclamation of the site. The reservoir (including both cells) will cover an estimated 54 surface acres when full. The actual surface area of the cells will depend on the final configuration of the reservoir after reclamation is complete. GEOTECHNICAL DATA Exploratory borings and monitoring wells were done on the site by Drilling Engineers. Logs of the borings and monitoring well used to estimate the soil types and thicknesses for this study are included in Appendix D. J&T Consulting, Inc. (JT) estimated soil strength parameters based on the information from the boring and monitor well logs and other stability analyses that have been performed on gravel mining operations along the Front Range. Table 1, on the following page, represents a summary of the soil strength parameters that were used in this stability analysis. J&T Consulting, Inc. J-2 Contracting Company— Sunset Industrial Pit Slope Stability Analysis Page 1 Table 1 - Soil Properties Description Max dry density (pcf) Saturated Density (pcf) Cohesion (psf) Internal Friction Angle Sand and Gravel 110 125 0 35 Clay 107 130 50 24 Stable Bedrock 125 141 2000 20 Slurry Wall 100 110 0 45 DESIGN ANALYSIS AND CRITERIA The proposed mining slopes were analyzed using Clover Technologies Galena Slope Stability Analysis System, version 7.2. Galena was designed to analyze the slope stability of earth embankments subjected to several critical situations that may occur during the life of the embankment. For this project, eleven cases were identified as critical during the mining operation. Static and pseudo -static conditions were analyzed in each case. Pseudo -static peak acceleration factors (peak horizontal acceleration, or PHA) were taken from USGS information for the western United States. The 2% probability of exceedance in 50 years (the most conservative) was used. The USGS peak acceleration map is included in Appendix E. A peak acceleration factor of 0.10 x gravity was taken from this data. A conservative earthquake loading coefficient of 0.50 x PHA is often used for slope stability analyses (50% of PHA). We used an even more conservative approach and used 70% of the PHA for this area for our earthquake loading coefficient. Hence, 0.70 x 0.10 = 0.07. All mining side slopes will be 3H:1 V. Six cases were analyzed where the mining is adjacent to man-made structures. The locations of the cases are shown on the case location map included in Appendix A. Case 1 — Fence West of Pit. The mining operation is adjacent to a fence near the west property line of the site. The proposed setback for mining is 20 feet from the fence. The mining depth was assumed to be 90 feet in this area based on bore log information. Case 2 — Fence North of Pit. The mining operation is adjacent to a fence near the north property line of the site. The proposed setback for mining is 11 feet from the fence. The mining depth was assumed to be 108 feet in this area based on bore log information. J&T Consulting, Inc. J-2 Contracting Company— Sunset Industrial Pit Slope Stability Analysis Page 2 Case 3 — Fence East of Pit. The mining operation is adjacent to a fence near the east property line of the site. The. proposed setback for mining is 50 feet from the fence. The mining depth was assumed to be 112 feet in this area based on bore log information. Case 4 — Fence and Lift Station South of Pit. The mining operation is adjacent to a fence and lift station south of the pit. The proposed setback for mining is 40 feet from the fence and lift station. The mining depth was assumed to be 81 feet in this area based on bore log information. Case 5 — Sanitary Sewer, Water Line, Fence, Fiber Line, Roadway, Bridge/Ditch, Structure, Power. Poles and Lines, and Building South of Pit. The mining operation is adjacent to sanitary sewer, water line, fence, fiber line, roadway, bridge/ditch, structure, power poles and lines, and building adjacent to the south side of the pit. The proposed setback for mining is 28 feet from the sanitary sewer, the closest structure. The mining depth was assumed to be 79 feet in this area based on bore log information. Case 6 — Water Line, Power Poles and Lines, Fence, Telephone Line, and Oil/Gas Equipment West of Pit. The mining operation is adjacent water line, power poles and lines, fence, telephone line, and oil/gas equipment adjacent to the west side of the pit. The proposed setback for mining is 31 feet from the water line, the closest structure. The mining depth was assumed to be 51 feet in this area based on bore log. The cross -sections located in Appendix B show the estimated phreatic surface associated with each case, the geometry used in the mining, and the locations of the man-made structures adjacent to the mining slopes. METHODOLOGY The mining embankment configuration shown in the computer analysis represents the estimated conditions for this site. If mining conditions differ from the estimated conditions, the slope stability will need to be re-evaluated on a case -by -case basis. The Bishop Method was used in the computer analysis for determining safety factors. The procedure searches for circular shear failures and automatically searches for the lowest safety factor. 20,000 separate failure surfaces were analyzed for each case. The required minimum safety factors are based on the policy of the Mined Land Reclamation Board (MLRD) for Factors of Safety for Slope Stability / Geotechnical Analyses. J&T Consulting, Inc. J-2 Contracting Company— Sunset Industrial Pit Slope Stability Analysis Page 3 SLOPE STABILITY RESULTS The MLRB requires minimum safety factors of 1.50 for static condition analyses and 1.30 for pseudo -static (earthquake loading) condition analyses for embankments adjacent to critical structures. The calculated factors of safety are within the design criteria specified for this project and can be considered indicators of the mining slope performance under the various conditions. The slopes were analyzed using full and empty reservoir conditions. The results of the static condition and pseudo -static condition slope stability analyses are shown in Table 2 and Table 3.

The proposed setback of 31 feet from the water line, the closest structure, is satisfactory. J&T Consulting, Inc. J-2 Contracting Company— Sunset Industrial Pit Slope Stability Analysis Page 6 The following recommendations for monitoring of slope stability should be followed: 1. A visual inspection of the excavated slopes should be done on a weekly basis for the duration of mining. This inspection should consist of walking the existing ground and looking for any signs of stress cracks or other potential signs of slope failure. Some minor sloughing of slopes is expected on any mine site. The intent of this inspection is to locate potential major slope failures that could potentially extend back into a structure. A visual inspection should be done after a major precipitation event that has saturated the ground using the same procedures. A major precipitation event would be defined as a storm that produces an intensity level reached once in 50 years on the average. If a visual inspection detects signs of a potential slope failure, qualified personnel should be contacted to evaluate and recommend remediation work to stabilize the area. If no visible signs of slope failure are detected during mining, then the inspection period could be reduced to once per 6 months after mining completion, or after every major precipitation event.
