Baurer Pit, Permit No. M-2020-058 Dear Mr. Cunningham: The following discussion and attachments are submitted on behalf of our client, Aggregate Industries — WCR, Inc., in response to the Adequacy Review comments prepared by the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety dated April 9, 2021, for the Baurer Pit 112 Construction Materials Reclamation Permit application. The information and discussion below address each comment as it was presented by the Division: 6.4.3 Exhibit C — Pre -Mining and Mining Plan Maps of Affected Land 1. The topography illustrated on the revised Exhibit C-1, Existing Conditions and Exhibit C-5, Pre-Mining/Mining Plan Map has been updated to include the existing pit lake and labeled such that the affected land direction and rate of slope is more accurately portrayed. Revisions were also made to the Exhibit C -1, Existing Conditions, property owner table (Property Owners and Man -Made Structures within 200 Feet of Affected Land). The table was updated with new contact/address information for Hall -Irwin Aggregates and Xcel Energy. Additionally, CenturyLink was added as a structure owner to the table. CenturyLink was a late responder to our utility locate request and, although their buried communication lines along Weld County Road 23 %2 were not in the original application submittal materials, their structure is included in the revised exhibit. Additionally, the same owner and contact/address information revisions have been made to the table in Exhibit S, Permanent Man -Made Structures within 200 Feet of the Affected Land. 6.4.4 Exhibit D — Mining Plan 2. Aggregate Industries acknowledges the permit stipulation that a 200 -foot buffer will be maintained around all structures until structure agreements and/or slope stability analyses are obtained. Agreements have been offered to all owners of man-made structures within 200 feet of the affected area. The certified letter receipts are attached. Mr. Daniel Cunningham RE: Baurer Pit M-2020-058 July 27, 2021 3. Dewatering pumps from the Baurer Pit will discharge into the Stillwater Ski Lake. The discharges have been illustrated on the revised Exhibit C-5, Pre-Mining/Mining Plan Map. 4. The Stillwater Ski Lake will receive all discharge from the Baurer Pit dewatering. Since the slurry wall is expected to be installed prior to mining, it is anticipated that dewatering discharge will be minimal and temporary. The ski lake has more than sufficient capacity to receive the dewatering discharge. The lake also has a natural overflow into the Huett Seepage Ditch which runs north out of the lake and the ditch also has capacity to handle all dewatering flows. If, however, the Stillwater Ski Lake and/or Huett Seepage Ditch are suspected to be over -capacity due to the dewatering flows, the dewatering discharge can be routed directly to the South Platte River through the Wattenberg Lakes site (M-2004-051). These discharge locations are/will be included in the Aggregate Industries — WRC, Inc. Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment discharge permit. 5. The conveyor corridor that will receive material from the Baurer Pit is included in the Aggregate Industries — WCR, Inc. Wattenberg Lakes site, M-2004-051. 6. The 1,500 feet specified on page 7 includes 500 feet of mining face highwall plus 500 feet of mining cell side walls on each side of the mine face; for a total of 1,500 feet near vertical highwalls. This is also explained in Exhibit L, Reclamation Costs. 6.4.5 Exhibit E — Reclamation Plan 7. On -site access following reclamation shall primarily include an un-improved access road following the slurry wall around the outside of the reservoir. This access road has been illustrated on the revised Exhibit F, Reclamation Plan Map. 8. The existing topsoil on -site is limited to the undisturbed east half of the affected area. All topsoil recovered during mining of the Baurer Pit will be stockpiled and used for reclamation. However, with the average and/or total quantity of topsoil on -site unknown, the conservative estimate of 6 inches has been proposed. 9. Aggregate Industries — WCR, Inc. will submit a technical revision prior to importing inert fill onto the site in accordance with Rule 3.1.5(9). 6.4.7 Exhibit G — Water Information 10. Aggregate Industries — WCR, Inc. shall submit quarterly groundwater elevation data with the associated annual report. If groundwater elevations change significantly (rise or fall more than 2 feet) from seasonal norms during the year, evaluations of the data and potential causes/mitigations shall also be included with the annual report. 11. Baseline groundwater elevation data is provided in the attached table and corresponding chart, Baurer Pit Groundwater Monitoring Data. At this time, five (5) to six (6) piezometers Page 2 of 4 Mr. Daniel Cunningham RE: Baurer Pit M-2020-058 July 27, 2021 are proposed for use to monitor groundwater elevations on and near the Baurer Pit site. A map illustrating the location of the proposed monitoring wells is also attached. Many of the proposed monitoring wells were installed, and have been monitored for over 15 years, as part of the adjacent Wattenberg Lakes Site (M-2004-051). Since the well installations, local groundwater conditions have been continually affected by influences surrounding the Baurer Pit property. As noted in the Baurer Pit 112 Construction Materials Reclamation Permit application, these influences include the South Platte River east of the site and the Brighton Ditch west of the site. Additionally, the existing lake on the western half of the Baurer Pit property and the Stillwater Ski Lake at the eastern edge of the property are previously dewatered mining excavations. Immediately north and south of the Baurer Pit property are additional mining excavations associated with the Wattenberg Lakes Site (M-2004-051) and Baseline Resource site (M-1997-058), both of which are now enclosed within below -grade slurry walls. Even with the local influences affecting groundwater, baseline ,conditions still exhibit a general southwest to northeast groundwater flow pattern. Although seasonal fluctuations in groundwater elevations are observed at wells upgradient of the Baurer Pit property (Wattenberg MW -7 and Wattenberg MW -8), these fluctuations appear to be muted in wells closer to the slurry walls and/or the South Platte River (Wattenberg MW -4 and Wattenberg MW -6). Although baseline data is not yet available for Baurer Pit MW -1, monitoring for a least 6 months is anticipated prior to Baurer Pit mining and/or slurry wall construction activities. Regardless, it is estimated that groundwater elevations and seasonal fluctuations would be similar to those observed in Wattenberg MW -4 and Wattenberg MW -6. 12. An unforeseen increase or decrease of 2 feet in groundwater elevation at a monitoring well shall be used as a trigger for potential mitigation measures. However, as seen on the attached Baurer Pit Groundwater Monitoring Data chart, recent baseline data often exhibits more than a 2 -foot variation in groundwater elevations seasonally. Therefore, monitoring procedures for the Baurer Pit shall include evaluation of the groundwater elevation data following each monitoring event with comparisons to the baseline data of similar seasons. The evaluations shall consider that there are many factors at or near the Baurer Pit property, not including mining and reclamation activities at the Baurer Pit site, that could create a significant groundwater elevation change at any one well. Other potential influences such as natural drought or flooding, changes in local irrigation, or adjacent mining operations shall be considered during data evaluation. 13. Aggregate Industries — WCR, Inc. owns, and has access rights to, the properties where all monitoring wells are located. If properties are sold and/or access agreement deadlines are passed (i.e. the City of Westminster), as long as Aggregate Industries — WCR, Inc. still holds the Baurer Pit 112 Construction Materials Reclamation Permit, property access for monitoring activities will be maintained.

Aggregate Industies — WCR, Inc. is in the process of obtaining a Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (DRMS) permit for the mining of aggregate materials in Weld County (see Vicinity Map). The mining will include excavation to maximum depths of about 30 feet below the ground surface and reclamation will involve installation of a slurry wall, grading to create stable slopes, and creation of a below -grade reservoir. As part of the permitting, DRMS requires Aggregate Industries to offer an agreement to owners of man-made structures within 200 feet of the proposed mining activities. Aggregate Industries has identified permanent man-made structures owned by CenturyLink within or adjacent to the project (see Pre-Mining/Mining Plan Map). To protect your interests in the structures, Aggregate Industries is offering an agreement that provides CenturyLink compensation for structure damage. An initial/example agreement is attached. Mine planning has established appropriate setbacks from mining excavations to adjacent structures, including those owned by CenturyLink, and Aggregate Industries does not anticipate any structure damages. However, to ensure your interests are protected, we request that you please consider the enclosed Structure Agreement.

Chance Allen, Matthew Woodworth, Kristin Decker, Max E. Kirschbaum, Donald M. Tripp ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE From time to time, City of Westminster (we, us or Company) may be required by law to provide to you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through your DocuSign, Inc. (DocuSign) Express user account. Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly, and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to these terms and conditions, please confirm your agreement by clicking the 'I agree' button at the bottom of this document. Getting paper copies At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available electronically to you by us. For such copies, as long as you are an authorized user of the DocuSign system you will have the ability to download and print any documents we send to you through your DocuSign user account for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a $0.00 per -page fee. You may request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below. Withdrawing your consent If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures electronically is described below. Consequences of changing your mind If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format, and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such paper notices or disclosures. To indicate to us that you are changing your mind, you must withdraw your consent using the DocuSign 'Withdraw Consent' form on the signing page of your DocuSign account. This will indicate to us that you have withdrawn your consent to receive required notices and disclosures electronically from us and you will no longer be able to use your DocuSign Express user account to receive required notices and consents electronically from us or to sign electronically documents from us. All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide electronically to you through your DocuSign user account all required notices, disclosures, authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as described below.

The proposed Baurer Pit permit area contains substantiated resources to continue the aggregate supply in this region of Colorado. Supplementing resources at the Platte Valley Operation, new supplies from the proposed Baurer Pit will continue to provide construction materials to meet the Colorado Front Range demand. Introduction and Overview The proposed Baurer Pit permit area is currently owned by the applicant (Aggregate Industries — WCR, Inc.) and the City of Westminster and consists of general agriculture and previously mined areas. The eastern edge of the permit boundary is located about 1,500 feet from the South Platte River. The previously mined areas include an active aggregate pit over most of the western half of the property (Wattenberg Lakes site, M-2004-051) and a small portion of an adjacent mine pit to the east that has been reclaimed into a ski lake (Baseline Resource site, M-1997-058). The area of the site that is undisturbed by mining activities contains general agricultural land. In general, drainage on the site flows from west to east towards the South Platte River. However, the property is relatively flat and the adjacent ski lake likely intercepts all easterly surface water flow from the property. Permit Boundary Definition The proposed permit boundary is consistent with property parcel boundaries with the following exceptions. For the entirety of the north permit boundary, the boundary line is straight from the northwest corner of Weld County Parcel No. 146936100002 to the northeast corner of Parcel No. 146936100035. The southern permit boundary follows a straight line from the southwest corner of Parcel No. 146936100002, through the southwest and southeast corners of Parcel No. 146925400002, and across to the eastern edge of Parcel No. 146936100035. Affected Land Boundary Definition The proposed permit boundary will encompass approximately 79.4 acres with only about 62.2 acres currently planned for mining. However, the affected land boundary follows the permit boundary to allow for associated mining activities and reclamation operations. Areas not disturbed by mining may be disturbed by slurry wall construction, access roads, stockpiles, material transporting, or other reclamation related activities. The remaining area will consist of setbacks and road and utility right-of-ways. Baurer Pit DBMS 112 Permit Application Page 4 Land Uses The proposed Baurer Pit permit area currently consists of general agriculture and areas of previous sand and gravel mining. With the exception of a few semi -rural residential home lots, surrounding land uses are primarily aggregate mining and agricultural. East of the South Platte River, more industrial and commercial activities dominate the U.S. Highway 85 corridor. Items owned by the applicant located within the proposed permit area such as un-improved roads, fences, water wells and associated pumps, and other structures may be removed or relocated during mining and reclamation. There are established oil and gas wells with associated storage tank facilities and pipelines located on the property. The applicant is currently in discussions with the structure owners to relocate the facilities. However, the facilities, along with other structures, easements, or right-of-ways not owned by the applicant will not be disturbed without prior permission (see Exhibit C-1, Existing Conditions Map). None of the easements, right-of-ways, or associated structures are expected to be negatively affected by mining or reclamation operations. Nature of Deposit to be Mined The proposed permit area is located in the part of the South Platte River basin described as the Colorado Piedmont section of the Great Plains physiographic province. The western most boundary of the South Platte River basin originates at the Continental Divide in the Rocky Mountains southwest of Denver. From its origin, the river and its tributaries flow northeast through the Rocky Mountain Front Range foothills and across the relatively flat topography of western Adams and Weld counties. Aggregate materials within the proposed permit area are composed of unconsolidated sediments that could partly be of Tertiary age, but are mostly of Quaternary age. Below the ground surface, up to five feet of sandy clay overburden overlays approximately 25 feet of alluvial sand and gravel deposits. Traditional organic topsoil ranges from thin or non-existent in flood scoured areas to 10 -inches thick or more. Most of the soils are clay loams, sandy clay loams, or gravelly substratum. Native soils and overburden for the site were likely developed from loamy alluvium and eolian deposits of clay and silts. The aggregate deposits and loamy soil overburden material are underlain by sandstone, claystone, and siltstone that is likely part of the Upper Transition Member of the Pierre Shale. Mine Phasing Aggregate Industries anticipates mining and reclaiming the proposed Baurer Pit site in approximately 2 years. However, the rate of mining and overall life of the mine is dependent on several factors including product demand. Test pits have verified that commercial deposits of sand and gravel exist up to 30 feet below the surface of the ground. In addition to the commercial sand and gravel materials, clay, silt, and other non -marketable materials excavated from the proposed permit area will be used on -site for reclamation. The mining plan currently includes mining in one phase. It is anticipated that the existing, active mine pit in the western half of the site will be mostly reclaimed concurrently with mining of the eastern portion of the site. As new areas of the property are mined, non -marketable materials will Baurer Pit DBMS 112 Permit Application Page 5 be used to begin reclamation of the previously mined area. Reclamation of the previously mined area shall occur from west to east, while new mining is anticipated to occur from the east side of the permit area to the west. This may temporarily create two separate mining pits during the single phase of mining. A material conveyor will be established and `pit run' aggregate will be transported through the Wattenberg Lakes site (M-2004-051) and to the Platte Valley Operation site (M-1989-120) for processing. A summary of mining phases is presented in the following table. Mine Phasing Summary Mine Phase Number of Mine Cells Total Acreage (acres) Duration (years) Phase 1 1 62 2 Even with the proposed permit area being mined in only one phase, mining will be integrated with concurrent reclamation activities. In general, as mined out areas of the property become accessible for reclamation activities, highwalls along the edges of the mine cell will be backfilled and rough graded to create a minimum of 3H:1 V side slopes. Rough contouring will take place during mining while fine contouring, topsoil placement, and establishing vegetative cover will be one of the last steps in the reclamation process. The contour blending will avoid steep slopes and create a topography that produces a smooth transition from the mined areas to the adjacent land surface. Setbacks from the mining area top of slope to the proposed permit boundary will generally be 100 feet or greater. These setbacks, from the near vertical mining face to the permit boundary, are a minimum of twice the adjacent excavation depth to mitigate stability risks. The setback also allows room for slurry wall construction during final reclamation activities. Within the proposed permit boundary, several structures not owned by the applicant shall be relocated so that the mine plan can be completed (see Exhibit C-5, Pre-Mining/Mining Plan Map). These structures include oil and gas facilities and collection pipelines owned by KP Kauffman and Peterson Energy. Until these structures can be removed, structure agreements can be secured, and/or engineering slope stability analyses can be performed, mining will remain a minimum of 200 feet from the structures. Additional structures within the proposed permit boundary not owned by the applicant include electric transmission line poles owned by Xcel Energy (see Exhibit C-5, Pre-Mining/Mining Plan Map). The powerline poles are adjacent to the existing mine pit on the property and additional mining and reclamation activities will not occur within 200 feet of the poles until structure agreements can be secured and/or engineering slope stability analyses can be performed. Mining Methods Since groundwater is expected to be less than ten feet below the ground surface, a slurry wall is planned to be constructed around the mining cell prior to, or concurrent with, the mining operation. More detail regarding slurry wall construction is provided in Exhibit E, Reclamation Plan. Within the slurry wall, or until the slurry wall is constructed, the deposit will be dry mined using Bawer Pit DBMS 112 Permit Application Page 6 dewatering trenches and pumps. Prior to new excavation, trenches will be cut along the perimeter of the cell area to begin dewatering the sand and gravel material. The trenches will extend through the overburden and alluvium to bedrock and direct groundwater flow to sumps for pumping to the adjacent ski lake (Stillwater Ski Lake). Dewatering flows into the mining cell typically contains very little sediment and these sumps usually allow enough sedimentation for pumped discharge to meet Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment standards. However, if necessary, water from the trenches will be circulated through a settling basin prior to it being discharged to adjacent drainage ditches and/or the Stillwater Ski Lake (see Exhibit C-5, Pre-Mining/Mining Plan Map). Earth Moving Areas to be mined are first prepared by removal of topsoil and overburden. Each preparation area may be as much as 100 feet wide along the anticipated mining face. Usually, only enough area is stripped and prepared to provide the estimated needs for the next 10 to 14 months of mining. Where it is found, surface topsoil material will be stripped separate from the underlying, deeper subsoil or overburden material. This topsoil layer contains most of the soils organic matter and will be stockpiled separately for use in reclamation. Once the topsoil has been removed, the rest of the overburden will be stripped and used immediately for backfilling or stockpiled for future reclamation. When the alluvial material is exposed and sufficiently dewatered, the aggregate material will be recovered using equipment typical for sand and gravel mining operations. Earth moving equipment may include, but is not limited to, dozers, loaders, scrapers, and excavators as mining progresses to a depth of approximately 30 feet below the surface. The alluvial material is an unconsolidated deposit and, therefore, no blasting is required. During mining and reclamation activities, watering trucks for dust control will be used as needed. The aggregate material from the cell will be temporarily stockpiled within the cell or immediately conveyed off -site for processing. The final design of the material conveyor on the Baurer Pit site is not yet available. Ground and soil conditions will need to be evaluated prior to final design. However, it is not anticipated that permanent concrete footers will be necessary for the conveyor. If concrete footers or other constructed supports are necessary, all structures will be removed to a minimum of one -foot below ground surface during reclamation activities. The active mining face will extend no more than 500 feet in length. During mining and prior to reclamation, the mine walls will be a nearly vertical to %H:1 V slope (see Exhibit C-5, Pre- Mining/Mining Plan Map). Mining will progress down to the depth of quality aggregate material or about 30 feet below the surface. As stated previously, backfilling and/or grading of side slopes shall follow behind the mining activities as closely as is practical. As mining progresses, topsoil, overburden, and non -marketable materials will be removed and used in reclamation activities. If not used immediately for side slope backfilling, topsoil and overburden will first be stockpiled along the east and south sides of the permit area. Topsoil and overburden stockpiles will be configured to have side -slopes no steeper than 3H:1 V. If the stockpiles are inactive for more than one growing season they will be seeded with the fast growing grass seed mixture below. Baurer Pit DBMS 112 Permit Application Page 7 Stockpile Grass Seed Mixture Grass Species Rate (#PLS/acre) Intermediate Wheatgrass 5.0 Russian Wildrye 4.0 Triticale (sterile hybrid of wheat and rye) 1.25 Rates are for broadcast seeding. Long-term stockpiles are not anticipated. Temporary stockpile materials will continually be used for reclamation and the stockpiles will likely be disturbed on a frequent basis and seeding the stockpiles may not be practical during the course of the operation. If stockpile seeding is not used, surface roughening will be maintained to limit wind and water erosion. The Baurer Pit proposed permit area is within the regulatory floodplain of the South Platte River. Because of floodplain regulatory restrictions, stockpiling will occur within the mining cell whenever possible. Stockpiles within the regulatory floodplain above the existing ground surface will be created parallel to potential South Platte River flood flows when possible. The stockpiles will also be no longer than 500 feet, with sufficient area between adjacent stockpiles for flood flows to pass (see Exhibit C-5, Pre-Mining/Mining Plan Map). Additionally, temporary structures such as the material conveyor will be constructed in accordance with local floodplain regulations. In order to gain an understanding of the extent of the mining operation, it is helpful to know the acres disturbed by different aspects of the mining operation. Each aspect is listed in the following table with associated disturbed area. The table illustrates a point in time where the mining disturbance could be at its maximum. At the proposed Baurer Pit site, it is assumed that the mining disturbance will be at its greatest when the new mining area is mined out, but the slurry wall has not yet been installed. During this scenario, the previously mined area will have been backfilled and rough graded to 3H:1 V side slopes, but the newly mined out area will still have exterior highwalls that need backfilling and grading.

Re -seed 1 Total Disturbed Area 27 Diversions and Impoundments Roads and adjacent mining activities will effectively minimize stormwater surface run-on to the mining site, so run-on diversion structures are not anticipated. The existing grade of the proposed permit area generally drains to the South Platte River. To manage stormwater run-off, stormwater that falls directly on the affected area will be contained in the active mining cell. The mine cell will effectively contain stormwater flows and prevent surface runoff from the site. Stormwater entering the active mining cell will be controlled in the groundwater dewatering trenches and, if necessary, circulated through a settling basin prior to being discharged to the Stillwater Ski Lake. Baurer Pit DBMS 112 Permit Application Page 9 Material Processing and Associated Facilities Pit run material will be conveyed off -site for direct use or processing at the Platte Valley Operation site (M-1989-120). On -site, raw material may be hauled or conveyed to temporary stockpiles prior to being conveyed off -site. No scale house will be necessary at the proposed Baurer Pit site. Commodities to be Mined and Intended Use Sand and gravel for use as construction materials will be the primary products produced from the proposed Baurer Pit site. Test pits have verified that commercial deposits of sand and gravel exist up to 30 feet below the surface of the ground. In addition to the commercial sand and gravel materials, topsoil and overburden materials will be used on -site for reclamation. Use of Explosives Since the material is unconsolidated deposits, no explosives or blasting is required. Baurer Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 10 EXHIBIT E Reclamation Plan This plan covers the proposed Baurer Pit site including a single phase of mining. Reclamation activities have been coordinated with the property owners and are intended to meet the proposed final land use. Final Proposed Land Use The current land use for the Baurer Pit property is a combination of active aggregate mining and general agriculture. The proposed final land use for the property is for developed water resource. This land use of developed water resource is consistent with existing and future land uses in the area. Properties north, south, and east of the proposed permit boundary include proposed, active, or historic mining operations and developed below -grade water storage. The desired reclamation in the mining cell will create a single below -grade water storage reservoir. General Overview of the Reclamation Plan Reclamation of the proposed Baurer Pit site is fairly straightforward. Lining the mine cell will require establishing a relatively impermeable seal on the bottom and sides of the excavated area. The liner will effectively separate the water inside the reservoir from adjacent alluvial groundwater and potential bedrock groundwater below. Slurry wall technology has been used successfully in many situations to provide the vertical, relatively impermeable barrier between alluvial groundwater and below -grade reservoirs. At the Baurer Pit site, as in many areas of Colorado, the shale and claystone bedrock encountered below alluvial deposit provides an excellent low permeability barrier for the bottom seal of below -grade reservoirs. Based on this understanding, conditions at the Baurer Pit site are ideal for slurry wall construction and below -grade water storage. Except for reservoir slopes below the reservoir high water surface elevation, all areas disturbed by mining activities will be prepared with topsoil and revegetated during reclamation. Revegetation will generate a blend of upland grass species. Given suitable precipitation, seeding should produce good vegetation cover over much of the reclaimed site. The material conveyor and any other structures associated with mining will be removed from the site during final reclamation activities. Roads not necessary for future access and other disturbed areas will be reclaimed with topsoil and vegetative cover to stabilize the areas and minimize erosion. Reclamation Measures/Materials Handling All available topsoil and overburden material will be used for reclamation. Similar to mining, earth moving equipment may include, but is not limited to dozers, loaders, scrapers, and excavators. Additional farm equipment for grading and seeding may be used for revegetation activities. Baurer Pit DBMS 112 Permit Application Page 11 All backfilling and grading will be done to stabilize the material and control erosion. Final grading and seeding will be done as soon as possible after backfilling, grading, and topsoiling have been completed. The reclamation will not leave high walls on the property. In addition, there will be no auger holes, excavations, or shafts left on the property. Materials Handling - Baclfilling Backfilling will primarily be associated with the creation of reservoir side slopes. Topsoil, overburden, and non -marketable material excavated during mining will be used almost immediately since backfilling of reservoir side slopes will be concurrent with mining,. However, small temporary stockpiles may be created within or along the edge of the mining cell. When sufficient material is available in the stockpile, the material shall be used where necessary for reclamation activities. It is anticipated that sufficient overburden material will be available on -site for backfilling of reservoir side slopes. If it is determined during mining that there is not enough on -site overburden to create the required side slopes, exterior cell walls may be mined at 3H:1 V slopes. Alternatively, backfill material may be imported from off -site. The use of additional backfill material from off -site is not anticipated. However, prior to receiving any backfill material from outside the proposed permit area, the operator will provide notice with information that includes the backfill location and volume of off -site material to be used, an affidavit certifying that the material is clean and inert, an approximate time frame for backfilling with off -site material, and an update regarding material placement procedures and the final reclamation configuration. There will not be known toxic or hazardous materials in the on -site or off -site backfill material used. Materials Handling - Grading Once backfill is placed to the approximate final grade for side slopes and other disturbed areas, the areas will be rough graded to establish final elevations, slopes, and transitions. Final grading will include addition of topsoil and surface preparation for revegetation. The topsoil placement and final grading shall be performed as soon as is practical prior to seeding for revegetation. Special attention shall be given to transitions from reclaimed areas to undisturbed land. The final topography will not create new surface drainage directed onto adjacent properties. Materials Handling - Slurry Wall Construction As stated previously, slurry wall technology has been used successfully in many situations to provide a vertical, relatively impermeable barrier between alluvial groundwater and below -grade mining cells. Slurry walls (also known as slurry cut-off walls or slurry trenches) are non-structural barriers constructed underground to stop the flow of groundwater. Soil-bentonite slurry walls are the most common type of slurry wall used in Colorado and this type of slurry wall shall be used at the Baurer Pit. There will not be known toxic or hazardous materials in the slurry wall or backfill material. Baurer Pit DBMS 112 Permit Application Page 12 The slurry wall will be constructed with a long reach excavator, clamshell, or other suitable trenching equipment. A trench approximately 3 to 5 feet wide and 100 to 150 feet in length is established by excavating through the entire length of the alluvium and several feet into the shale bedrock below. The average slurry wall depth from top to bottom will be approximately 30 feet. The trench is filled with slurry that stabilizes the excavation and begins to seal the sides of the trench. A blend of soil excavated from the trench, dry bentonite, and borrow soils are mixed at the surface and placed into the trench in a semi -fluid state by a bulldozer or second excavator, displacing the bentonite slurry in the trench. As backfill is added, additional trench is excavated and the displaced bentonite slurry fills the new length of trench. Once the backfill operation is complete, the soil-bentonite backfill sets up slightly and acts like a soft clayey soil. The upper few feet of the trench are backfilled with clean soils to stabilize and protect the top of the slurry wall. Other considerations for slurry wall construction include a stable and sizable working area along the trench alignment. The potential slurry wall alignment on the outside of the Baurer Pit mining cell is primarily on stable, native soils and should not present a challenge for construction equipment. Preparation of the slurry wall alignment includes grading a 50 to 100 -foot wide, relatively flat working space along the mining cell top of slope. When slurry wall construction is complete, the working space will be final graded for stability and an operations and maintenance access route will be left in place. The route will be reclaimed with topsoil and grass seeding as a low traffic dirt road. Slurry Wall Performance Standards. According to the Colorado State Engineer's Office (SEO), the intent of the slurry wall design (design standard) is to achieve groundwater inflow (leakage rate) into the below -grade mining cell that is not greater than 0.03 ft/day (1 x 10-5 cm/sec) multiplied by the length of the perimeter wall in feet multiplied by the average vertical depth of the perimeter wall as measured from the ground surface to the mine cell bottom along the toe of the cell side slope, plus 0.0015 ft/day (5 x 10-7 cm/sec) multiplied by the area of the bottom of the liner system or natural bedrock bounded by the perimeter wall (State Engineer Guidelines for Lining Criteria for Gravel Pits, August 1999). The performance standard shall be three times the design standard and shall be applied to an initial test of competency of the liner, as well as to the ongoing operation of the reservoir. The initial test will include a water balance analysis to demonstrate that the balance of the inflows and outflows equals the change in storage volume over a minimum of a 90 -day period. Topsoil and Revegetation Re -vegetation will only include grass seeding of disturbed areas. No tree or shrub planting is planned. Where required, topsoil will be replaced to a depth of approximately four to six inches. Topsoil will be placed after rough grading of reservoir side slopes and slurry wall construction is completed. As the area is reclaimed, runoff or excess water from adjacent areas will not be allowed to flow over slopes being graded and seeded. If needed, temporary berms or channels will be constructed to divert excess water and dispose of it in a safe and non -erosive manner. Seeding of disturbed areas will be done as areas are finished with preparation including topsoil spreading and final grading. Planting will be most successful if done between mid -November and the end of April. Planting can be performed in May if necessary, but after May it is not advisable Baurer Pit ARMS 112 Permit Application Page 13 to plant. Planting before November is not advised as the potential for a warm growth environment and early germination would likely result in a major failure of the revegetation and require reseeding. Although not proposed at this time, fertilizer may be applied to re -soiled areas in a manner that will encourage emergence and survival of the grasses without encouraging competition from weeds. Starter fertilizer could be applied before, or at the time of, seeding. If necessary, full fertilization should be applied after emergence. Fertilizer mixtures need to be based upon soil tests made on samples taken from re -soiled areas prior to seeding. 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. Periodic inspection for noxious weeds, at least once a year early in the season, will be done. The weed inspection will search for not only the expected species but also any new List A or B species introductions. It is likely that non -noxious and List C species will also be found. Non -noxious weeds, which are often native invaders, do not need to be controlled, but if the population of a List C species is controllable then it will be included in the control program. List C noxious species are problematic but are usually not as serious as List B species. List B species in Colorado and utilized for Weld County weed management include: Absinth wormwood, Black henbane, Bouncingbet, Bull thistle, Canada thistle, Chinese clematis, Common tansy, Common teasel, Corn chamomile, Cutleaf teasel, Dalmatian toadflax, Dame's rocket, Diffuse knapweed, Eurasian watermilfoil, Hoary cress, Houndstongue, Jointed goatgrass, Leafy spurge, Mayweed chamomile, Moth mullein, Musk thistle, Oxeye daisy, Perennial pepperweed, Plumeless thistle, Quackgrass, Russian knapweed, Russian -olive, Salt cedar, Scentless chamomile, Scotch thistle, Spotted knapweed, Spurred anoda, Sulfur cinquefoil, Venice mallow, Wild caraway, Yellow nutsedge, and Yellow toadflax. All List A species must be eradicated by law. These weeds include African rue, Bohemian knotweed, Camelthorn, Common crupina, Cypress spurge, Dyer's woad, Elongated mustard, Giant knotweed, Giant salvinia, Hydrilla, Japanese knotweed, meadow knapweed, Mediterranean sage, Medusahead, Myrtle spurge, Orange hawkweed, Purple loosestrife, Rush skeletonweed, Squarrose knapweed, Tansy ragwort, and Yellow starthistle. The current complete list of noxious weed species and local management plans is available from the Weld County Weed Division. The seed mixture for disturbed areas presented below was provided by the Natural Resources Conversation Service for mine land reclamation in the region of the proposed permit area and is comprised of native upland grasses. Drill seeding is the preferred method for revegetation. If broadcast seeding is necessary on steep slopes or in excessively rocky areas, success can be encouraged by broadcasting onto growth medium that is very loose. If the seed is broadcast in those circumstances, then the seeded area will be dragged to help bury the seed. Baurer Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 14 Upland Grass Seed Application Rate* (#PLS/acre) Western Wheatgrass 4.8 Blue grama 0.3 Side -oats grama 1.0 Big bluestem 1.7 Switchgrass 2.0 Green needlegrass 1.5 TOTAL 11.3 *Application rate is for drill seeding. If seed is to be broadcast, the application rate will be doubled. Wildlife Current wildlife conditions and potential impacts are described in Exhibit H, Wildlife Information. Water — General Requirement To minimize the effect on the prevailing hydrologic balance, the operator shall: 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. d. Perform all work to minimize erosion and sediment transport. Current water resource conditions and potential surface water and groundwater impacts are described in Exhibit G, Water Information. Groundwater — Specific Requirements The mining and reclamation activities will not affect groundwater quality on or off the site. The operation will comply with State groundwater quality standards. Due to the absence of significant sources of potential pollutants, groundwater quality monitoring is not required in this operation. A Substitute Water Supply Plan (SWSP) for the replacement of stream depletions associated with mining operations will be obtained from the SEO. Additionally, a well permit for exposed groundwater in the proposed permit area will be obtained from the SEO. Potential impacts from mining in the proposed permit area are described in Exhibit G, Water Resources. Baurer Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 15 It is not anticipated that the Baurer Pit mining and reclamation activities will significantly affect groundwater use surrounding the mine site. However, Exhibit G, Water Information, illustrates and describes existing registered wells within 600 feet of the permit boundary. Although damages are not anticipated, it is the intent of the applicant to operate responsibly and to mitigate potential damages to wells that are directly attributable to the mining and reclamation of this site. Buildings and Structures No buildings or structures associated with mining activities will be left in the proposed permit area following reclamation. Signs and Markers 1. Permit notification signs will be placed and maintained at the entrance to the operation. 2. The permit boundary will be identified where it is not already identified by fences or suitable markers. All signs and markers will be removed upon permit release. Baurer Pit DBMS 112 Permit Application Page 16 EXHIBIT F Reclamation Plan Map See attached map.

The property contains substantiated aggregate resources and consists of general agricultural lands and previously mined areas. A significant area of the proposed Baurer Pit permit boundary previously mined under the DRMS Wattenberg Lakes (M-2004-051) permit, will be included with the new mining area in the final reclamation below -grade water storage reservoir. Introduction and Overview The eastern edge of the property is located about 1,500 feet from the South Platte River. In general, drainage on the site flows from west to east towards the South Platte River. However, the property is relatively flat and the ski lake adjacent to the east side of proposed permit area, reclaimed from a previously mined area within the Baseline Resource site (M-1997-058), likely intercepts all surface water flow from the property. Other water resources on or near the site include the Huett Seepage Ditch that flows from the north end of the ski lake and continues north through the Wattenberg Lakes site (M-2004-051). The Brighton Ditch runs south to north approximately 1,000 feet west of the proposed permit area. No impacts to the Huett Seepage Ditch or the Brighton Ditch are anticipated from mining and reclamation activities. Domestic water wells and monitoring wells are also located on and near the site (see Exhibit C-5, Water Resource Map). Current water use on the proposed Baurer Pit site is associated with previously mined areas. Evaporative losses from the ski lake (Baseline Resources, M-1997-058) and open mine pit area (Wattenberg Lakes, M-2004-051) are currently augmented under separate SWSPs with the SEO. Water use within the mining area currently under the Wattenberg Lakes permit (M-2004-051) may also periodically include water applications for dust control. As delineated on Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) Number FM080123C2115E (National Flood Insurance Program, January 20, 2016), the proposed permit boundary lies within the South Platte River 100 -year floodplain (see Exhibit C-5, Water Resource Map). A more recent 100 -year floodplain developed by the Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) is currently being used by Weld County for floodplain development regulation. This floodplain delineation is very similar to the currently approved FIRM delineation within the proposed permit boundary. All work performed in the regulatory floodplain will conform to the Weld County Floodplain Development Regulations. Groundwater Monitoring Plan Groundwater monitoring and evaluation of potential mining and reclamation impacts shall be conducted as part of a groundwater monitoring plan. This summary provides monitoring procedures and methods to be used during mine operations and reclamation activities at the Baurer Pit to ensure monitoring data is accurate and representative of actual field conditions. The Baurer Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 18 monitoring plan will be used during mining and reclamation activities and includes slurry wall construction. Local alluvial groundwater conditions have been evaluated on, and adjacent to, the proposed Baurer Pit property as part of the adjacent Wattenberg Lakes (M-2004-051) mining operation. Monitoring well installation, monitoring, and reporting at the Wattenberg Lakes site has been performed for nearly 15 years to evaluate baseline groundwater conditions and potential mining and reclamation impacts and to fulfill both DRMS and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit requirements. The proposed Baurer Pit site is located in valley fill alluvium associated with the South Platte River. The river is used extensively for irrigated agriculture in the valley and on neighboring upland properties. Additional adjacent land uses include aggregate mining to the north and south. The community of Wattenberg is located approximately %2 -mile north of the site, including the community water supply well. Local recharge to the alluvial aquifer has consisted of applied irrigation water infiltration and deep percolation of precipitation. The South Platte River forms a natural sink for the alluvial aquifer and groundwater flow to the river, along with local groundwater pumping, represent the major sources of aquifer discharge. Exploration borings and groundwater monitoring information were used to construct a conceptual hydrogeologic picture of the Baurer Pit site. For the purpose of characterizing the site hydrogeologic conditions, the subsurface materials can be subdivided into three units: sandy/clay overburden, permeable unconsolidated sand and gravel deposits, and low permeability bedrock. Where previous mining has not occurred on the property, the bedrock is covered by alluvial sand and gravel. In general, the thickness of the alluvium is approximately 25 feet across the site. Local mud seams and cobble zones occur as lenses or discontinuous beds within the alluvium, but none of the layers appear to be laterally continuous. Therefore, the subsurface information suggests that the alluvium can conceptually be considered one aquifer. Baseline alluvial aquifer conditions were established from four to six years of groundwater monitoring at the Wattenberg Lakes site (approximately January 2002 through December 2005). Installation of groundwater monitoring wells in 2002 included the drilling and completion of nine (9) wells spaced around the property perimeter. These wells include one immediately adjacent to the proposed northern permit boundary of the Baurer Pit, two less than 1,000 feet west of the site, and another on the southern edge of the Baurer Pit property. In general, under baseline conditions, groundwater elevations tend to fluctuate similarly in all of the monitoring wells. Monitoring data suggests that groundwater elevations on and near the Baurer Pit site have typically decreased through the winter months, being at their lowest in January through March. Data also suggests that groundwater elevations near and on the site increase rapidly during the spring (April through June) and then remain fairly constant through summer and into the fall months. In more recent years, however, alluvial groundwater on and near the Baurer Pit site has been influenced by dewatering operations at the Wattenberg Lakes site (M-2004-051) to the north and the Baseline Resource (M-1997-058) and Parker-Dersham Resource (M-2006-003) sites to the south. Baurer Pit DBMS 112 Permit Application Page 19 The water elevation data were also used to estimate baseline groundwater flow direction and gradient. Using the available data, the baseline groundwater gradient has been estimated to be approximately 0.002 to 0.003 (0.2 to 0.3 feet decline per 100 feet of horizontal distance) from southwest to northeast locally and across the site. However, to the east, near the South Platte River, groundwater gradients become less definable. Locations of alluvial wells to be included in the monitoring plan are illustrated on Exhibit C-5, Water Resources. The wells include the previously described alluvial monitoring wells associated with the Wattenberg Lakes site and an additional existing monitoring well near the southeast corner of the proposed Baurer Pit permit boundary. Wells are located in areas to accurately evaluate potential impacts of mine dewatering and reclamation activities. During mining and reclamation activities, at a minimum, alluvial groundwater elevations in the monitoring wells shall be measured monthly. The five (5) wells in the locations described are recommended as a minimum for inclusion in the groundwater monitoring plan to evaluate general dewatering, mounding, or shadowing impacts and collect information for potential mining or reclamation mitigation. At the applicant's discretion, extra wells may be added to the monitoring plan to evaluate the effects of specific mining, reclamation, or other aspects of property development. Additionally, wells may be added to the monitoring plan to specifically evaluate pre-existing or anticipated dewatering issues on adjacent properties. Potential Mining Impacts The new mining operation will impact groundwater systems hydraulically connected to the South Platte River by extracting sand and gravel deposits from the alluvial aquifer. Although it is anticipated that the slurry wall will be constructed prior to mining, the discussions in this section assume that the slurry wall has not been constructed prior to mining and dewatering activities at the Baurer Pit site. Replacement of stream depletions to mitigate these impacts will be covered under a SWSP obtained from the SEO. Additionally, a well permit for exposed groundwater in the proposed permit area will be obtained from the SEO. Dewatering associated with the proposed mining cell has the potential to impact alluvial groundwater wells near the mining cell. A well permit application search of the SEO database was used to locate wells near the proposed permit area. The Water Resource Map (Exhibit C-5) illustrates existing recorded well permit applications within 600 feet of the proposed permit boundary. Although there may be other wells in the area, they are not recorded with the SEO. Water Requirements Water consumed during mining activities will include evaporation from exposed groundwater in dewatering trenches, potential settling basins and operational water losses from dust control and water retained in product conveyed off -site. According to initial estimates, the net annual depletion from mining operations in the proposed permit area is 24.1 acre-feet. This depletion is based on approximately 1.5 acres of exposed groundwater area for dewatering trenches and settling basins and a net evaporative loss of approximately 2.94 feet per year. If the moisture content of the material transported off -site is assumed to be 4 percent by weight, and the annual Baurer Pit DBMS 112 Permit Application Page 20 mined product is estimated to be 600,000 tons per year, then the annual amount of water lost in product is approximately 17.66 acre-feet. It is also estimated that approximately 2 acre-feet of water will be needed annually for dust control during mining and reclamation activities. A new SWSP for evaporation and operational losses will be obtained from the SEO. Sources of Replacement Water The replacement of consumptive uses will be accounted for in a new SWSP administered by the SEO. Sources of replacement water include fully consumable effluent leased from the City of Westminster. Additional sources of replacements may include water rights owned or leased by Aggregate Industries in the South Platte River basin. Mining Impact Mitigation Plan Although impacts and damages are not anticipated, it is the operator's intent to operate responsibly and to mitigate damage to wells or structures that is directly attributable to mining. Operations at the Baurer Pit site are not anticipated to injuriously affect surrounding water rights. If impacts are experienced due to mine dewatering, these affects should be temporary and discontinue once dewatering operations cease. However, if dewatering from the proposed permit area directly affects the ability of surrounding wells to pump a full supply of water in accordance with their permitted uses, the operator shall take all necessary actions to remedy the affects to the extent they were directly caused by operations at the site. Mitigation measures may include, but are not limited to: 1. Modify existing wells to operate under lower groundwater conditions. This would include re - drilling existing wells to deeper depths or lowering the pumps. All work would be done at the operator's expense with the exception of replacing equipment that was non-functional prior to mining. 2. If existing wells cannot be repaired, the applicant will drill a new well for the owner to replace the damaged well. The new well will produce water of the same quantity and quality to support the historic use. 3. Provide an alternative source of water to support the historic well water use during mine dewatering. Potential Reclamation Impacts It is anticipated that the slurry wall will be constructed prior to mining and, therefore, potential impacts to surrounding wells from mine cell dewatering should not occur. However, if the slurry wall is constructed during mining or after mining and dewatering activities at the Baurer Pit site, potential impacts to surrounding wells from mine cell dewatering will cease. Whether constructed prior to, during, or following mining activities, the slurry wall is expected to influence the alluvial groundwater table and flow direction, but these effects are anticipated to be very localized. From preliminary subsurface exploration on the site and years of local monitoring well data, alluvial groundwater appears to be approximately 10 feet below the ground surface and other site groundwater conditions would be expected to reflect typical river and stream alluvial groundwater Baurer Pit DBMS 112 Permit Application Page 21 regimes. These groundwater regimes generally exhibit a relatively high transmissivity and low gradient with groundwater flow in the same direction as, and slightly towards, the river or stream (see Exhibit C-5, Water Resource Map). The alluvial groundwater elevation and flow direction in these systems are typically influenced by fluctuations in river flow, direct precipitation and infiltration, agricultural irrigation, and withdrawals from water wells. Mounding and shadowing refer to a slightly higher or lower normal groundwater elevation, respectively, and can be caused by obstructions to the natural alluvial groundwater flow regime. Once the slurry wall installation is complete, and based on the assumed groundwater flow regime, mounding would be anticipated upgradient, or south and west of the reclaimed mine cell. Shadowing would be expected downgradient of the reclaimed mine cell, or north and east. These groundwater elevation effects would be most pronounced immediately adjacent to the reclaimed mine cell, with groundwater returning to normal elevations over relatively short distances away from the cell. Upgradient (west and south) of the proposed Baurer Pit site slurry wall, there are additional permitted aggregate mining sites and a few semi -rural properties along Weld County Road 23%2. However, because of the normal depth to groundwater (approximately 10 feet below the ground surface), groundwater mounding is not expected to impact adjacent property owners. Additionally, aggregate mining sites, rural property owned by the applicant, and the South Platte River are located north and east of the proposed slurry wall, so shadowing impacts are not likely. Reclamation Impact Mitigation Plan Although impacts and damages are not anticipated, it is the intent of the operator and property owners to operate responsibly and to mitigate damage to wells or structures that is directly attributable to the reclamation of the Baurer Pit site. If mine cell (or slurry wall) reclamation creates injury to surrounding properties, the applicant will take all necessary actions to remedy the injury. If water levels are dropping in adjacent wells, due to shadowing from mine cell reclamation at the Baurer Pit site, such that well owners' historic water production may be injured, mitigation measures will be the same as those proposed for potential dewatering impacts during mining. Additionally, if it is determined that mine cell reclamation creates mounding impacts to surrounding structures or water resources, the applicant will take appropriate corrective action. Impacts would trigger mitigation measures that may include, but are not limited to: 1. Pumping from mounding areas to recharge ponds in shadowing areas. 2. Installing surface or underground drain systems to transport groundwater from mounding areas to shadowing areas. 3. Diverting surface water flows to recharge ponds in shadowing areas. Water Quality Mining and reclamation operations shall comply with Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) regulations. A Colorado Baurer Pit DRIVE 112 Permit Application Page 22 Discharge Permitting System (CDPS) permit for stormwater management and discharge flows to protect surface water quality on and off the proposed permit area from mining and reclamation activities will be obtained. The permit includes the continued updating and implementation of a site Stormwater Management Plan designed to prevent the contact and transport of potential contaminants to surface waters by stormwater flows. The depth to groundwater fluctuates by several feet depending on the season, but is typically near 10 feet below the ground surface. Due to the absence of large quantities of potential pollutants on site (no on -site processing or concrete or asphalt production), the mining and reclamation operations are not likely to affect groundwater quality on or off the site. As stated above, mining and reclamation activities shall operate under a CDPS permit and Stormwater Management Plan. The plan provides for regular inspections of potential contaminant areas such as mobile equipment and fuel or lubricant storage locations. Inspections and best management practices are incorporated into the plan to protect both surface and groundwater quality. Bawer Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 23 EXHIBIT H Wildlife Information To evaluate potential wildlife habitat impacts from the proposed operation, information was gathered from the Natural Diversity Information Source (NDIS). The NDIS combines plant and animal abundance data from the Colorado Division of Wildlife (CDOW) and other Colorado natural resource agencies to be used for land -use analyses and decisions. Wildlife Habitat The proposed permit area includes active aggregate mining and general agricultural land with additional mining and reclamation activities on nearby properties. Except for the adjacent ski lake and shoreline, the undisturbed portion of the site primarily contains upland area with no water, riparian, or wetland habitats. Upland areas consist primarily of sparse native and introduced grasses. Wildlife and Potential Impacts There are no known federally threatened, endangered, or candidate species within the proposed site boundary. Federally threatened, endangered, or candidate species that could potentially be found in Weld County or that could potentially be affected by projects in Weld County include the Preble's meadow jumping mouse, interior least tern, Mexican piping plover, whooping crane, pallid sturgeon, Colorado butterfly plant, Ute ladies' -tresses orchid, and the western prairie fringed orchid. Suitable habitat for these species is not noticeable on the site and none of these species have been observed or documented within the proposed site boundary. Colorado state threatened, endangered, and species of concern that could potentially be found in Weld County or that could potentially be affected by projects in Weld County include the black - tailed prairie dog, Northern river otter, swift fox, American peregrine falcon, bald eagle, ferruginous hawk, greater sandhill crane, long -billed curlew, mountain plover, Western burrowing owl, Western snowy plover, plains minnow, suckermouth minnow, brassy minnow, common shiner, Iowa darter, stonecat, common garter snake, and Northern leopard frog. For many of these species, potentially suitable habitat does not exist within the proposed permit area. Potentially suitable habitat does exist within the proposed permit area for mammal and bird species such as the black -tailed prairie dog, swift fox, Western burrowing owl, and bald eagle. Burrows for black -tailed prairie dogs are present on the site, but swift fox or burrowing owls have not been observed. Although raptors and bald eagles have been observed temporarily foraging or perching in trees on or near the project site, no potential raptor or eagle nests were found in or near the project area. Many birds may use habitats similar to those found at the proposed permit site, either year-round, seasonally for nesting, or temporarily for roosting during migration. Some of the common or abundant species could include robins, orioles, starlings, magpies, longspurs, lark bunting, doves, kingbirds, and blackbirds. Because of the lack of non -mining created open water habitat within the proposed permit area, shore birds and waterfowl are not likely to be present. Baurer Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 24 It could be expected that most mammals common or abundant in Weld County could be found near or within the proposed permit area. Smaller mammals that might be found at the proposed project site might include mice, voles, gophers, rabbits, raccoons, and skunks. Some of the larger mammals could include both mule and white tailed deer, coyote, and fox. The mining and reclamation activities may disturb some of the wildlife within the proposed permit area and adjacent area. However, the activities will be confined to specific areas and total disturbance at one time will be limited. Impacts to wildlife following reclamation will be minimal. Baurer Pit DBMS 112 Permit Application Page 25 EXHIBIT I Soil Information Soil Information At the end of this exhibit are some printouts from the NRCS website that describe many of the typical characteristics of the soils present on the site. Please refer to Exhibit C-2, Soils Map, for an illustration showing the distribution of the soils. According to the Web Soil Survey (United States Department of Agriculture, NRCS, 2004) of the proposed permit area, there are three major soil types within the proposed project site: 1. Altvan loams, 2. Aquolls, and 3. Ellicott sandy -skeletal complex. The location of these soil types is illustrated on Exhibit C-2, Soils Map. Traditional organic topsoil on most of the site is thin or non-existent, varying from 0 to 10 inches in depth. Most of the soils are undistinguishable from the general overburden material that consists of shallow, well drained loams. Over most of the identified sand and gravel deposit is a loamy, wind -mixed veneer layer of soil/overburden material varying from 0 to near 5 feet in depth. The soil/overburden material likely developed from alluvial and eolian deposits of clay, silts, and sands. The aggregate deposits and loamy soil/overburden material are underlain by a variable pattern of unconsolidated shale and sandstone parent materials. Altvan Loams The Altvan Loams are found on level and nearly level (0 to 3 percent slopes) land forms. Formed in old alluvium deposited by major rivers, these soil types are well drained and classified as Hydrologic Soil Group B. The water table is typically more than 80 inches below the soils. Areas containing these soils are used mainly for irrigated crop land. Their permeability and available water capacity are moderate and most methods of irrigation are suitable for these soils. These soils are suited to most crops grown in the area including corn, sugar beets, beans, and alfalfa. Aquolls and Aquents, gravelly substratum The Aquolls and Aquents are found on level bottom lands and floodplains along major rivers and streams. These soil types are poorly drained and classified as Hydrologic Soil Group D. They are a dominant soil type within the proposed project site. The water table is typically from 6 to 48 inches below the soils. Areas containing these soils are used mainly for rangeland and wildlife. Water transmissivity of the soil is relatively high and available water capacity is moderate. The potential for frequent flooding and seasonally high water table are the primary limitations for the crops that can be grown in this soil. The potential plant community on these soils is mainly switchgrass, alkali sacaton, and western wheatgrass.

These soil types are excessively drained and classified as Hydrologic Soil Group A. They are a minor soil type within the proposed project site. The water table is typically more than 80 inches below the soils. Areas containing these soils are used mainly for rangeland and wildlife. Water transmissivity of the soil is high to very high and available water capacity is very low. The potential for flooding is rare and the soils make prime farmland if irrigated. Baurer Pit DBMS 112 Permit Application Page 27 EXHIBIT J Vegetation Information Vegetation information for the proposed Baurer Pit site was gathered from the Soil Survey of Weld County, Colorado — Southern Part (United States Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service) and an on -site vegetation survey (AloTerra Restoration Services, February 28, 2020). Please refer to Exhibit C-3, Vegetation Map, for an illustration of vegetation community distribution. The proposed permit area includes one new mining area and two previously mined areas. The previously mined area on the west side of the property (Wattenberg Lakes, M-2004-051) contains an active mining pit and the mined area on the east side of the property (Baseline Resources, M- 1997-058) contains a reclaimed groundwater ski lake. On the area of the site not previously disturbed by mining, traditional organic topsoil ranges from thin or non-existent in flood scoured areas to 10 -inches thick or more. The undisturbed soils are either well drained loams or poorly drained gravelly substratum. This area does not appear to have been recently used for irrigated or other crops and vegetation is generally sparce. Observed native species of grasses and forbs was limited and included wildrye and unidentified species of erigeron. The area was dominated by introduced pasture grasses such as smooth brome and crested wheatgrass. Patches of weeds including cheatgrass, kochia, and Russian thistle were also observed. Plains cottonwood trees, most growing in two distinct rows, were also observed scattered within the undisturbed (eastern) area of the property. Some limited growth of sandbar willow was also observed along with the plains cottonwood. At the eastern edge of the proposed permit boundary, adjacent to the ski lake, vegetation included more wetland species such as broadleaf cattail, bulrush, common threesquare, and saltgrass. Canada thistle was prevalent in the upland areas adjacent to the lake. Woody species such as non-native Russian olive and peach -leaf willow were also observed near the ski lake. Within the active mining pit on the west side of the permit area, a mixture of weeds, wetland vegetation, and small trees have begun to grow. Vegetation is mostly non-existent along the mining pit banks and top of slope with only small patches of weeds (i.e. kochia and Russian thistle) in disturbed areas. Following mining, disturbed areas will be seeded with a native upland grass mixture and a weed management plan will be implemented. Revegetation with native grasses and the weed management plan will help minimize the weedy vegetation that typically degrades agricultural land and wildlife habitat. Baurer Pit DBMS 112 Permit Application Page 28 EXHIBIT K Climate The proposed Baurer Pit permit area exhibits a semi -arid climate typical of the Colorado Front Range region. The region is characterized by low humidity, relatively low average precipitation, and a high percentage of sunshine. A large amount of the precipitation occurs in short durations, during high intensity summer thunderstorm activity. Climate information was available from the Western Regional Climate Center in Brighton, Colorado. The climate data collected from 1973 through 2016, indicates the total annual precipitation at the site to be approximately 14.0 inches per year. Monthly average temperature and precipitation data for the periods of record are provided in the following tables.

It is assumed that the time of maximum mining disturbance will be at the end of mining prior to construction of the slurry wall. During this scenario, mining is mostly complete in the eastern area of property and reclamation has included backfilling and rough grading side slopes in the existing mine pit (western area of the property). Additional backfilling and rough grading of side slopes (assume rough grading moves 1 -foot of material over entire grading area) also occurred in the eastern area of the property as mining was completed, but additional backfilling is still required. The active mining highwall is approximately 500 feet long and the adjacent 500 -foot long cell walls have not yet been backfilled. Both the mining highwall and adjacent cell walls (1,500 linear feet total) require backfilled and rough grading to 3H:1 V slopes. Backfilling and grading 3H:1 V slopes will include reclaiming approximately 3 acres on the bottom of the mining cell. Slurry wall construction shall occur concurrent with mining or other reclamation activities. The slurry wall alignment around the mining cell is approximately 7,300 linear feet. Although the slurry wall trench is only 3 to 5 feet wide, the working pad and overall disturbance could be as great as 100 feet wide. Topsoil will be stripped from the working pad area prior to construction and following slurry wall completion the working pad area will be scarified and/or tilled in preparation for topsoil replacement, final grading, and seeding for revegetation. Stockpiles for topsoil storage will likely be constructed on the east side of the mining cell. The topsoil stockpiles will probably contain less than 20,000 cubic yards (yds) of material and cover approximately 2 acres. Enough topsoil should be stockpiled on -site for reclamation. Haul distances to use the stockpiled topsoil for on -site reclamation range from less than 100 feet to over 3,000 feet, but average only about 1,500 feet. Additionally, if necessary, overburden stockpiles will be created in the bottom of the newly excavated portion of the mine cell or on the southern side of the cell. The overburden will be used to backfill mining cell side slopes an average distance of 500 feet from the stockpiles. Miscellaneous disturbed areas at the point of maximum disturbance will include the material conveyor and staging area (3 acres), internal haul roads and the main site entrance (1 acres), and stockpile areas (2 acres). These areas will be scarified and/or tilled in preparation for topsoil placement, final grading, and seeding for revegetation. It is estimated that the combined area of these disturbances will be approximately 6 acres. Once backfilling and rough grading of all mining cell side slopes and top of bank (including slurry wall working pad) is complete, and the miscellaneous disturbed areas have been scarified and/or tilled, topsoil placement and final grading will occur (assume final grading moves 0.5 -feet of material over entire grading area) in preparation for revegetation. If available, a minimum of 6 inches of topsoil will be placed on all disturbed areas following backfilling and rough grading and/or scarifying. Topsoil placement, final grading, and seeding for revegetation shall only occur above the reservoir high water mark or approximately 2 vertical feet below the reservoir top of bank. After initial seeding and the first season's growth, it is estimated that approximately 20 percent of the area will need to be re -seeded. Each aspect is listed in the following table with associated disturbed area. Please refer to Exhibit D, Pre-Mining/Mining Plan, for a listing of the maximum disturbed area that totals 27 acres.

Aggregate Industries is currently working with structure owners including private property owners, utilities, municipalities, and counties to obtain structure agreements.
