No permanent structures will be constructed on -site as part of the mining operation. A portable processing facility for product crushing and screening will be brought to the site and used as needed. The facility will be located within the pit close to where active mining is occurring or near the site entrance. A fueling/lubricating station, generators, and outdoor storage may also be located near the portable processing facility. Pit run material will be hauled or conveyed to the processing plant where raw material and product stockpiles will be Blue Earth Solutions, LLC • P.O. Box 2427 • Fort Collins, CO 80522 • (970) 227-2803 located. Alternatively, the material may be hauled oft -site as pit run for direct use or processing elsewhere. In addition to the portable processing facility, portable asphalt and/or concrete batch plants may also be used on the site as needed. The asphalt and concrete batch plants would be located in the mine pit near the portable processing facility to minimize material handling and hauling distances. A mine office/scale house trailer will be established near the site entrance. The office/scale house area may be used for employee parking, equipment fueling/lubricating, and/or equipment storage. During full mining and processing operations, approximately 7 to 11 employees will be on -site. Only one day -time shift is anticipated. Others using the site will include material haul truck drivers. As trucks enter the site, are loaded, and leave the site, the number on -site at any one time will likely not exceed 12 drivers. The site entrance is to be located on Weld County Road 21 (WCR 21). Although other routes are anticipated depending on customer needs, material haul trucks entering WCR 21 will generally proceed north to WCR 126 then west to Interstate Highway 25 (please see attached Traffic Study for more detail). The sand and gravel deposit is generally less than 10 feet deep. Soils are typically less than six inches thick on the site, but overburden thickness can range from less than six inches to about two feet. There are no perennial or intermittent surface waters on the site. Groundwater is not expected to be encountered during mining and the deposit will be dry mined. Mining will proceed by first stripping and stockpiling topsoils and overburden. The exposed gravel will then be removed in lifts and transported to the processing facility. Since the material is unconsolidated deposits, no blasting is required. The aggregate material will be recovered using equipment typical for sand and gravel mining operations. Earth moving equipment may include, h u t are not limited to dozers, loaders, scrapers, and excavators. During mining and reclamation activities, watering trucks for dust control will be used as needed. I'he mining plan currently includes mining in just one phase. Mining will generally proceed from south to north and is expected to take from 15 to 20 years, depending upon material demand. During mining operations, stormwater from disturbed areas will be captured within the mine pit and allowed to infiltrate. If the stormwater does not infiltrate within 72 hours, pumps will be used to discharge the water to the downgradient drainageway. Reclamation activities will create stable runoff from the site to historic downgradient drainageways. Reclamation of the proposed permit area will create rangeland, which is the pre -mining land use. The experience of the ranching landowner and expertise from the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife, and natural resource consultants will be utilized during site reclamation. Much of the pit, after mining, will contain a pit floor that gently drains to the south. The pit floor will be backfilled and graded to connect drainage with historic drainageways. Reclaimed mine pit side slopes will be created from backfill with overburden and topped with soil growth medium. All areas disturbed by mining activities will be prepared with topsoil and overburden and revegetated during reclamation. Revegetation will generate a blend of grass species and, given suitable precipitation, should produce good vegetation cover over much of the reclaimed site. Lazy Two Pit Weld County USR Application Elue earth SOLUTIONS Page 2 of 7 In general, shallower reclaimed slopes will provide easier access during reclamation and safer access for ranching equipment following mining. Shallower slopes will also aid in establishing vegetation growth and minimize erosion. Although pit side slopes will be backfilled and graded as flat as possible, no slopes will be reclaimed any steeper than 3H:1 V. Grading of pit side slopes and the pit bottom will attempt to adhere to the surrounding natural topography and drainage patterns. The mine office/scale house trailer. portable processing facility, asphalt/concrete plant, 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 overburden replacement and vegetative cover to stabilize the areas and minimize erosion. Weld County Comprehensive Plan. In Chapter 22 of the Weld County Code, Comprehensive Plan, agriculture goals and policies include: Goal I. Respect and encourage the continuation of agricultural land uses and agricultural operations for purposes which enhance the economic health and sustainability of agriculture. Following temporary mining disturbances from the proposed Lazy Two Pit, the reclaimed land use will be returned to rangeland for the continuation of agricultural operations. Goal 2. Continue the commitment to viable agriculture in Weld County through mitigated protection of established (and potentially expanding) agricultural uses from other proposed new uses that would hinder the operations of the agricultural enterprises. The proposed operation will occur on land that has adjacent lands in agricultural rangeland use. The reclaimed mining area will be re -incorporated into usable rangeland for the ranch. Goal 3. County land use regulations recognize and respect the rights afforded by the State Constitution and associated statutes of individually decreed water rights. Water rights are considered real property and should be protected as any other private property right. The proposed mining operation will not use or retain surface water and is not expected to encounter ground water. Therefore, the temporary operation will not negatively affect the surrounding hydrologic balance or established water rights. Goal 4. Promote a quality environment which is free of derelict vehicles, refuse, litter and other unsightly materials. The Connell Carr Pit will maintain an organized and well - kept mining operation. Only vehicles that are associated with employees or mining operations will be kept on -site. Designated areas and receptacles for refuse and litter will be used to properly store and dispose of waste materials. Goal S. Provide for the minimum buildable lot size of parcels in the agricultural areas created without County approval to be in conformance with state statutes. No permanent structures or subdivided lots will be created by the proposed mining and reclamation activities. V Goal 6. Provide mechanisms for the division of land in agricultural areas to support the continuation of agricultural production. No land divisions will be created by the proposed mining and reclamation activities. Lazy Two Pit Weld County USR Application blue earth SOLUTIONS Page 3 of 7 Goal 7. County land use regulations should protect the individual property owner 's right to request a land use change. The proposed Lazy Two Pit includes returning the land to the pre -mining land use, rangeland. No permanent land use change is proposed. Goal 8. Ensure that adequate services and facilities are currently available or reasonably obtainable to accommodate the requested new land use change for more intensive development. The proposed temporary mining and reclamation activities will not involve intensive development that requires additional county services or facilities. The mining operation will use portable sanitation facilities and bottled water to service the employees on -site. The mine operator will work with Weld County Public Works Department to minimize impacts to County roads. Drainage from the site will be managed under the Colorado Discharge Permitting System to ensure that best management practices minimize erosion and sediment transport from the site, protecting water resources and adjacent properties. All county, state, and federal rules and regulations will be followed and all public service providers will have opportunity to comment on the proposed activities Goal 9. Reduce potential conflicts between varying land uses in the conversion of traditional agricultural lands to other land uses. The proposed mining operations are temporary. Mining and reclamation will strive to protect the general existing land contour characteristics, vegetation, and water courses. Goal 10. The County recognizes the right to farm. The proposed Lazy Two Pit includes returning the land to the pre -mining land use, rangeland. Agricultural Zone District. In Chapter 23 of the Weld County Code, Zoning, open pit mining and materials processing and asphalt and concrete batch plants are allowed in the agricultural zone district by special review. The proposed Lazy Two Pit does not present a threat to the health, safety and general welfare of the present and future residents of the County. Location Decision. The proposed Lazy Two Pit site has been located in an area with confirmed, marketable aggregate resources. The proposed reclamation plan will conserve productive agricultural land in the agricultural zone district. Protection of County Residents. The proposed mining and reclamation activities contain adequate provisions for the protection of the health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and the County. Surrounding Land Uses. With the exception of the community of Carr, properties surrounding the proposed Lazy Two Pit site are primarily rural agricultural non -irrigated rangeland. The community of Carr includes approximately 30 to 40 semi -rural residential home lots north of the site. Between the proposed Lazy Two Pit and Carr, is a permitted aggregate mining property (M-1988-048) and railroad load -out yard. Additionally, north of Carr, is the permitted Tucker Pit (M-1980-002) and Connell Carr Pit (M-2014-001). The rural nature of the area and the existing mining operations make the proposed mining operation and reclamation plan compatible with surrounding land uses. Existing Land Use. The proposed permit area currently consists of rangeland. Lazy Two Pit Weld County USR Application blue earth SOLUTIONS Page 4of7 Project Details. The Lazy Two Pit details include: People Using and Employed On -site. During full mining and processing operations, approximately 7 to 11 employees will be on -site. Only one day -time shift is anticipated. Others using the site will include material haul truck drivers. As trucks enter the site, are loaded, and leave the site, the number on -site at any one time will likely not exceed 12 drivers. Hours of Operation. It is anticipated that operations will be performed from 6:00 am to 7:00 pm Monday through Saturday. Animals On -Site. No animals are to be kept on -site as part of the mining operation. However, current grazing operations may continue on the property durin<u the proposed mining operation. Vehicles Accessing the Site. Mobile mining equipment including loaders, scrapers, and excavators will be used on -site. Additional vehicles will include employee passenger vehicles, company pickup trucks, and haul trucks. Access will occur Monday through Saturday as needed. ✓ Fire Protection. The proposed permit area is within the Nunn Fire Protection District. However, the major facilities on site are not constructed of flammable materials and the fire hazard is expected to be low. ✓ Water Source. Domestic water on -site will be provided by bottled water. ✓ Sewage Disposal. On -site sanitary disposal will be provided with portable toilet facilities. ✓ On -Site Storage. No on -site warehouse or storage is proposed. Limited amounts of fuel and lubricants may be stored near the mine office/scale house trailer, portable processing facility, and/or asphalt/concrete plant. However, no structure or building will be used for general warehouse storage. Landscaping. No specific landscaping/screening plan is being proposed. The mining will primarily occur below grade, limiting the view of disturbed areas from adjacent properties. Schedule. It is anticipated that pre -mining activities will begin on the site during 2019. Mining and reclamation activities are expected to take place for 15 to 20 years. Reclamation Procedures. Reclamation of the proposed permit area wi I I create rangeland, which is the pre -mining land use. Reclaimed mine pit side slopes will be created from backfill with overburden. Although pit side slopes will be backfilled and graded as flat as possible, no slopes will be reclaimed any steeper than 3H:1 V. Grading of pit side slopes and the pit bottom will attempt to adhere to the surrounding natural topography and drainage patterns. All areas disturbed by mining activities will be prepared with topsoil and overburden and revegetated during reclamation. Revegetation will generate a blend of grass species and, given suitable precipitation. should produce good vegetation cover over much of the reclaimed site. The mine office/scale house trailer, portable processing facility, asphalt/concrete batch plant, 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 Lazy Two Pit Weld County USR Application (blue earth SOLUTIONS Page 5of7 disturbed areas will be reclaimed with topsoil and overburden replacement and vegetative cover to stabilize the areas and minimize erosion. Storm Water. During mining, storm water runoff from disturbed areas will generally be contained within the mine pit. Runoff from the site will be controlled with best management practices to limit erosion and sediment transport and allowed to infiltrate or directed to historic drainages. Much of the pit, after mining, will contain a pit floor that gently drains to the south. The pit floor will be backfilled and graded to connect drainage with historic drainageways. Shallower slopes created during reclamation will aid in establishing vegetation growth and minimize erosion. Waste Removal. Debris, junk, and other wastes associated with the proposed mining activities will be removed from the site as needed, but will not remain after reclamation is complete. Need for Proposed Use. The operation of the existing Connell Carr Pit has verified a market for construction aggregate materials in this region of northern Colorado. Overlay Districts. The proposed permit area is not located in a flood plain, geologic hazard, or Weld County Airport overlay district area. EVIDENCE OF WATER SUPPLY ✓ Bottled water will be used on -site.

CO 80528 Attn: Mr_ Tony A. Connell Vice President Lazy Two — Carr Gravel Pit Traffic Study Letter Northeast Corner of CR-118 and CR-21 Weld County. Colorado Dear Mr. Connell: The purpose of this letter report is to document the results of a traffic analysis prepared for the proposed Lazy Two — Carr Gravel Pit to be located on the northeast corner of the CR-118 and CR-21 intersection in Weld County. Colorado. The primary work hours for the mine are anticipated to be 12 hours per day This traffic study identifies project traffic generation characteristics, potential project traffic related impacts on the local street system. and mitigation measures required for identified impacts of the CR-118 intersection with CR-21. Specifically, the project is proposed to include an approximate 280 -acre gravel mine to also include asphalt and concrete operations at the gravel pit ultimately in years 10 through 20. The project location is shown in an attached aerial exhibit and attached vicinity map of Figure 1 Regional access to the Lazy Two — Carr Gravel Pit will be provided by Interstate 25 (1-25) and United States Highway 85 (US -85). Primary and direct access will be provided by County Road 21 (CR-21). Access to and from 1-25 will occur through the Interstate 25 interchange with CR-126. CR-21 intersects with CR-126 at Carr. Colorado. To a lesser extent. access to the pit will occur from CR-118 to CR-23. to CR-120 for access to US -85_ CR-126 is a paved roadway providing one lane of travel each direction, eastbound and westbound. CR-21. CR-118, CR-23. and CR-120 are all unpaved roadways with sufficient widths to provide one lane of travel each direction The existing intersection of CR-21 and CR-118 is a two-way stop -controlled intersection with stop control on the eastbound and westbound CR-118 approaches. Access to the pit is proposed at a location near the northern property limit. approximately a mile north of the CR-118 and CR-21 intersection The existing intersection lanes and control for the CR-118 and CR-21 key intersection and access along CR-21 is shown in Figure 2. The project site is currently vacant land. used for agricultural purposes. The surrounding uses are also primarily vacant/agricultural with farms located nearby. The unincorporated community of Carr is located approximately 2.7 miles north of the site. Site -generated traffic estimates are determined through a process known as trip generation_ The number of employees anticipated as well as the number of truck trips in and out daily and per hour were estimated for the proposed gravel mine in years one (1) through 10 along with the asphalt and concrete operations of years 11 through 20. The gravel mine is anticipated to have seven (7) employees (one person assigned to the scale and six personnel who perform crushing/processing/reclamation). The concrete and asphalt plant are anticipated to have two (2) employees each. Therefore. it is anticipated that seven (7) employees will be assigned to the site for years 1 through 10, and 11 employees will be assigned to the site for years 11 through 20. For purposes of this study, it was assumed that all employees would arrive and depart in a common peak kimley-horn.com 4582 South Ulster Street, Suite 1500. Denver.

It was estimated that 200.000 tons of gravel will be excavated from this pit during a year. There are anticipated to be a total of 220 operating days per year, which results in 909 tons of gravel produced per operating day. These 909 tons of gravel are moved in trucks at approximately 25 tons per material load. Therefore. this results in 36 trucks (36 trips in and out. or 72 trips) which will access the gravel mine each day, which equates to 3 trucks per hour assuming a 12 -hour work day (3 trucks in and 3 trucks out in the AM and PM peak hours).

For the asphalt operations, the facility is anticipated process 75,000 tons over 50 operating days. This equates to 1,500 tons per operating day, or 125 tons per hour over 12 hours, with an average of 25 tons per truck. This equates to five (5) trucks coming and going each hour to process and move these 125 tons per hour It was also estimated that 60 trucks will access the mine each day, assuming a 12 -hour work day (5 trucks in and 5 trucks out in the AM and PM peak hours), making a total of 120 trips. For concrete operations. the site is anticipated to produce 15.000 cubic yards (CY) over 100 operating days. This equates to 150 CY over an operating day It is possible for trucks to move 8 CY per load, which results in approximately 20 trucks per day. With a 10 -hour workday, this equates to 2 trips made by each truck per hour For purposes of this study, the peak hour and daily traffic volumes were calculated for full operations of the pit to include gravel. asphalt, and concrete.

With full operations in Years 11 through 20 with asphalt and concrete added, a total of 254 trips are anticipated, with 31 of these occurring during the peak hours. Distribution of project traffic on the street system for Lazy Two — Carr Gravel Pit was based on the area street system characteristics, existing traffic patterns, existing location compared to nearby population areas, and the proposed access system for the project. The directional distribution of traffic is a means to quantify the percentage of site -generated traffic that approaches the site from a given direction and departs the site back to the original source. It was assumed that most traffic (80 percent) generated to the gravel mine will be coming from Interstate 25 and therefore to and from the north along CR-21. A smaller proportion of traffic (20 percent) of traffic generated will be coming from and going to the east for access to and from US -85. Attached Figure 3 illustrates the expected project trip distribution for the Lazy Two — Carr Gravel Pit. Traffic assignment was obtained by applying the distribution of Figure 3 to the estimated traffic generation of the project shown in the previous tables. Traffic assignment for the project in Years 1 through 10 is shown in Figure 4 attached, while traffic assignment for the project in Years 11 through 20 is shown in attached Figure 5. The Lazy Two — Carr Gravel Pit is anticipated to generate approximately 86 weekday daily trips in Years 1 through 10 and 254 weekday daily trips in Years 11 through 20. Of these, 13 peak hour trips are anticipated (trucks and employees) in the morning and afternoon peak hours in Years 1 through 10. In Years 11 through 20, 31 peak hour trips are expected during the morning and afternoon peak hours. Based on this project traffic volume, it is anticipated that the Lazy Two — Carr Gravel Pit project traffic volume will be incorporated into the existing roadway network acceptably and will not require any traffic improvements other than the installation of a R1-1 "STOP" sign on the driveway exiting approach to CR 21.

The potential for an asphalt plant on the site was included in the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (DRMS) application materials. At the time of our meeting, materials for the Weld County Use by Special Review (USR) permit application had not been prepared and the application had not been submitted. During preparation of the USR application materials, operation of a temporary asphalt plant and/or concrete batch plant was included in our required traffic study and, therefore, was included in our USR application. At this point in time, there are no specific plans by Connell Resources to locate an asphalt plant or concrete batch plant on the Lazy Two Pit site. However, the site will be mined over a long period of time and temporarily putting a mobile asphalt or concrete plant on the site for specific local projects is an option that Connell Resources would like to keep open for the site. I cannot remember all of our discussion, but I apologize if we did not specifically address this possibility in our meeting at your home. We were primarily interested in addressing the concerns you outlined in your letter to DRMS and answering your questions. We would be available to meet with you again if you want more specific information regarding this issue. We are also planning a community meeting in Carr the week after Thanksgiving. All the details are not set yet, but you will receive notification of date, time, location, etc. Also, please feel free to email or call me for more information or with additional questions.

Director of cc, 4, 7 • • :87b WHEREAS, in the application for the permit, the Operator has agreed to be bound by all requirements of the Act and all applicable rules and regulations of the Board, as amended from time to time. WHEREAS, in the application for the permit, the Operator has agreed with the Board to provide for reclamation of the Affected Lands that are now, or may become, subject to the permit, as required by law. WHEREAS, the Operator and Travelers Casualty and Surety Company of America (the "Warrantor"), a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Connecticut and duly authorized to transact a bonding and surety business in the State of Colorado are hereby and firmly bound unto the State in the sum of Seven Hundred Seventy -Three Thousand One Hundred Thirty -Four & 00/100 773 1 34.00 Dollars ($ r ) for the life of mine or until such time as replacement is received, for the payment of which sum, well and truly made, we hereby bind ourselves and our personal representatives, successors and assigns, jointly and severally, firmly by these presents. WHEREAS, the Board has determined, in accordance with the Act, that the estimated costs of reclamation of the Affected Lands are those amounts for the stated periods of time as set forth herein. Said amount may be amended from time to time to reflect revised estimates of said costs of reclamation. WHEREAS, the Operator and the Warrantor, in accordance with the Act, has promised and hereby promises the Board that it will be responsible for all the estimated costs of reclamation with regard to the Affected Lands. WHEREAS, the Board has determined that this Financial Warranty by the Warrantor equals the estimated costs of reclamation, as approved by the Board, with regard to the Affected Lands. NOW, THEREFORE, the Operator and the Warrantor are held hereby firmly unto the State of Colorado in the amount of those sums for those periods of time as set forth herein, until this Financial Warranty is amended or released in accordance with applicable law. The Board may, for good cause shown, increase or decrease the amount and duration of this Financial Warranty. The Operator shall have sixty (60) days after the date of notice of any such adjustment to increase the surety amount, but no such increase shall bind the Warrantor unless and until it shall have consented thereto in writing by the issuance of an additional Financial Warranty or by an endorsement to this Financial Warranty. The Operator and the Warrantor shall notify the Board immediately of any event which may impair this Financial Warranty. If the Board receives such notice, or otherwise has reason to believe that this Financial Warranty has been materially impaired, it may convene a hearing in accordance with the Act for the purpose of determining whether impairment has occurred. The obligation of the Operator and the Warrantor shall continue until the Board has released this Financial Warranty or has ordered it forfeited in accordance with applicable provisions of the Act. It is understood that periods of years may necessarily be required before determination can be made that reclamation of the Affected Lands has been satisfactorily completed. It is also recognized that, as reclamation is accomplished, the amount of this Financial Warranty may be reduced with the approval of the Board so that it reflects the then current estimated cost of the remaining reclamation of the Affected Lands. No revision, extension, or renewal of the permit, or of the time allowed to complete reclamation, shall diminish the Operator's or Warrantor's obligation under this Financial Warranty. No misrepresentation by the Operator which may have induced the Warrantor to execute this Financial Warranty shall be any defense to demand by the State under this agreement. Page 2 of 6 In any single year during the life of the permit, the amount of the Financial Warranty shall not exceed the estimated cost of fully reclaiming all lands to be affected in said year, plus all lands affected in previous permit years and not yet fully reclaimed. Reclamation costs shall be computed with reference to current reclamation costs. The amount of this Financial Warranty is based upon estimates as to the cost of reclamation, and does not operate to liquidate, limit, enlarge or restrict the Operator's obligations to complete reclamation and to comply in all respects with the permit and with applicable laws and regulations governing reclamation, even though the actual cost thereof may substantially exceed the amount of this Financial Warranty. The Mined Land Reclamation Board or the Office of Mined Land Reclamation may recover the necessary costs, including attorney's fees or fees incurred in foreclosing on or realizing the collateral used in the event this Financial Warranty is forfeited. The face amount of this Financial Warranty shall be increased by five hundred dollars ($500.00) to cover these costs. The Warrantor shall not be liable under this Financial Warranty for an amount greater than the sum designated herein, unless increased by a later amendment to this Financial Warranty. This Financial Warranty shall be reviewed by the Board from time to time, and the Board may require an increase in the principal sum of this Financial Warranty (and a corresponding increase in the surety amount) to cover increases in the estimated costs of reclamation, but no such increase shall bind the Warrantor unless and until it shall have consented thereto in writing by the issuance of an additional Financial Warranty or by an endorsement to this Financial Warranty. The Warrantor reserves the right to cancel this Financial Warranty, effective only upon an anniversary date, and only by giving written notice to that effect, mailed by Certified Mail, at least ninety (90) days prior to such anniversary date, addressed to both the Operator at its address herein stated, and to the Board at the address herein stated. In the event of such cancellation, this Financial Warranty shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect as respects the reclamation of all areas disturbed prior to the effective date of such cancellation, unless and until the Operator shall file a substitute Financial Warranty which: (1) assumes liability for all reclamation obligations which shall have arisen at any time while this Financial Warranty is in force; and (2) is accepted in writing by the Board. In the event of such cancellation, if the Financial Warranty is not fully released, the amount of the continuing Financial Warranty available for the reclamation of areas disturbed and unreclaimed at the date of cancellation shall be fixed by the Board at the amount it determines necessary to complete such reclamation (which amount may not exceed the sum designated herein) and the Board shall concurrently identify such areas in writing, and notify the Warrantor and the Operator thereof. Thereafter, the obligation of the Warrantor shall be limited to reclamation of the areas so identified. The consideration for the Warrantor's execution of this agreement is the promise of the Operator to pay the premiums, but failure by the Operator to pay such premiums shall not invalidate or diminish the Warrantor's obligation hereunder. The Board may make demand upon the Warrantor for payment hereunder if the Board determines that reclamation which ought to have been performed by the Operator, or its successors or assigns, remains unperformed, and if Financial Warranty forfeiture procedures required by law have been initiated. No other condition precedent need be fulfilled to entitle the State to receive the amount so demanded. However, if, upon completion of reclamation by the State, the amounts expended for reclamation shall be less than the amount received from the Warrantor, the excess shall be promptly refunded to the Warrantor. If demand is made upon the Warrantor for payment of an amount due to the Board hereunder, and if the Warrantor fails to make payment of such amount within ninety (90) days after the date of receipt of such demand, or if it should thereafter be determined, by agreement of the Warrantor or by final judgment of court, that the amount demanded was properly payable, the Warrantor agrees to pay to the Board, in addition to the amount demanded, interest at the Page 3 of 6 current published Wall Street Journal Prime Rate for the period commencing at the end of such ninety -day period and ending on the date of actual payment. If the Board shall notify the Warrantor that the Operator is in default, and if the Board shall initiate any Financial Warranty forfeiture procedures required by law or regulation, the Warrantor may, in lieu of making payment to the Board of the amount due hereunder, cause the reclamation to be timely performed in accordance with all requirements of the Act and all applicable rules and regulations. In such event, when and if the reclamation has been timely performed to the satisfaction of the Board or Division, this Financial Warranty shall be released. If the reclamation shall not be so performed to the satisfaction of the Board or Division, this Financial Warranty shall remain in full force and effect. This Financial Warranty shall be subject to forfeiture whenever the Board determines that any one or more of the following circumstances exist: 1. A Cease and Desist Order entered pursuant to Section 34-32-124 of the Act has been violated, and the corrective action proposed in such Order has not been completed, although ample time to have done so has elapsed; or 2. The Operator is in default under its Performance Warranty, and such default has not been cured, although written notice and ample time to cure such default has been given; or 3. The Operator and/or the Warrantor has failed to maintain its Financial Warranty in good standing as required by the Act; or 4. The Warrantor no longer has the financial ability to carry out its obligations in accordance with the Act. The description of lands herein is for convenience of reference only, and no error in such description, nor any revision of the permitted mining area, nor the disturbance by the Operator of lands outside of the permitted mining area shall alter or diminish the obligations of the Operator and/or Warrantor hereunder, which shall extend to the reclamation of all such lands disturbed. If this Financial Warranty applies to National Forest System lands, and if this Financial Warranty is accepted by the United States Forest Service ("U.S.F.S.") as the bond required under 36 C.F.R. 228.13, then the Operator, having requested that the Board and the U.S.F.S. accept this single Financial Warranty in lieu of the separate bonds which would otherwise be required by applicable law, hereby agrees that, notwithstanding any other provision hereof, or of law, this Financial Warranty shall remain in full force and effect until U.S.F.S. has advised the Board by written notice that the Operator's obligations to U.S.F.S., for which this Warranty is executed, have been satisfied, and until the financial warranty has been released by the Board. If this Financial Warranty applies to lands under the jurisdiction of the State Board of Land Commissioners ("Land Board"), and if this Financial Warranty, in whole or in part, is accepted by the Land Board as the bond required under its applicable law and procedures, then the Operator, having requested that the State accept this Financial Warranty in lieu of the separate bonds which would otherwise be required by the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board or Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety and by the Land Board, hereby agrees that, notwithstanding any other provision hereof, or of law, this Financial Warranty shall remain in full force and effect until the Board is notified in writing by the Land Board that the Operator's obligations to the Land Board, for which this Warranty is executed, have been satisfied, and until the financial warranty has been released by the Board. If all or any part of the Affected Lands are under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management, United States Department of the Interior (the "BLM"), and if, at the request of the Operator on this Financial Warranty, the BLM has, pursuant to 43 C.F.R. 3809.1-9, accepted this Financial Warranty in lieu of requiring a separate reclamation bond Page 4 of 6 COUNTY OF Larimer ri m e r payable to the United States, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Financial Warranty, or of law, the Operator and Warrantor hereby agree that this Financial Warranty shall not be released until the Board is advised in writing by the BLM that the Operator's obligations to the BLM, for which this Warranty is executed, have been satisfied, and until the financial warranty has been released by the Board.

The proposed permit area includes 304.3 acres. According to the Weld County Assessor's Office, the proposed permit area parcels are owned by Lazy Two Ranch LLC (Parcel No. 030311000003) and Duane and Lynn Ross (Parcel No. 030311300002).

The proposed Lazy Two Pit permit area contains substantiated aggregate resources to continue the supply in this region of Colorado. As resources diminish in the Connell Carr Pit, new supplies from the proposed Lazy Two Pit will continue to provide construction materials to meet the northern Colorado demand. Introduction and Overview The proposed Lazy Two Pit permit area is currently owned by the Lazy Two Ranch LLC and Duane and Lynn Ross and consists of rangeland utilized by the owner's cattle operations. The property is located in the northeast corner of Weld County Roads 21 and 118. The site is relatively flat, generally drains from north to south, and contains short grass prairie upland areas. Permit Boundary Definition The proposed permit boundary is generally consistent with the property parcel boundaries on the west, north, and east sides. These parcel boundaries are also defined by the section or half - section lines for Section 11 (T10N, R67W). The site is also bound by Weld County Road 21 to the west and Weld County Road 118 to the south. The southern permit boundary follows parcel boundaries and the section line except where the existing farm house and associated structures are purposely excluded. Since the permit boundary will mostly follow site parcel lines, the boundary will extend to the center line of Weld County Roads 21 and 118. Although mining disturbances will be setback from road and utility right-of-ways and easements, the location of the permit boundary will allow for necessary site access roads or other disturbances adjacent to the roadways. Affected Land Boundary Definition The proposed permit boundary will encompass approximately 304.3 acres with only about 290.5 acres currently planned for mining. However, the affected land boundary essentially follows the permit boundary to allow for reclamation activities and future potential mining operations. Areas not disturbed by mining may be disturbed by access roads, stockpiles, material processing, or backfilling and other reclamation related activities. The remaining area will consist of setbacks and road and utility right-of-ways. Land Uses The proposed permit area currently consists of rangeland utilized by the owner's cattle operations. With the exception of the community of Car, properties surrounding the proposed Lazy Two Pit site are primarily rural agricultural non -irrigated rangeland. The community of Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 4 Can- includes approximately 30 to 40 semi -rural residential home lots north of the site. In addition to the Connell Can- Pit north of Can-, there is another permitted aggregate mining property (M-1988-048) and railroad load -out yard approximately one mile north of the site. Items owned by the applicant or property owner 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 no established oil and gas wells, tank batteries, or other associated facilities located on the property. The interior of the property does not contain structures, easements, or right-of-ways not owned by the applicant or property owner. Several utility structures and associated easements and right-of-ways are located on the edges of the property or immediately adjacent to the proposed permit boundary including Nunn Telephone Company communication lines, Weld County road right-of-ways, and Poudre Valley REA power lines (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 where the northern edge of the Colorado Piedmont transitions up to the High Plains of southern Wyoming. The northwestern most boundary of the historic Lone Tree Creek basin originates in the Laramie Range of the Rocky Mountains and drains southeast across the relatively flat High Plains and down through the gently rolling topography of the Colorado Piedmont. Aggregate materials within the proposed permit area are composed of Pliocene and Pleistocene terrace deposits associated with the historic Lone Tree Creek drainage system. The terrace deposits within the proposed permit area extend from the surface or near -surface to a variable depth of approximately 10 feet below the ground surface. Deposition was most likely created by streams that had been rejuvenated as a result of uplift at the close of the Tertiary period and increased water supply during the Pleistocene epoch. The under -lying Tertiary sedimentary rocks that include consolidated sand and gravel conglomerates were eroded, and the process of cutting and filling of channels was so widespread that gravel and sand were deposited in sheet -like beds. The principal streams eroded into the bedrock, cutting and building terraces along the channels. More recent streams, such as Lone Tree Creek one to two miles east of the proposed permit area, have cut through the highly erodible over -lying unconsolidated material in most areas and do not generally have associated alluvial deposition. Traditional organic topsoil on most of the site is thin or non-existent, varying from 0 to 6 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 2 feet in depth. The soil/overburden material likely developed from alluvial and eolian deposits of clay, silts, and sands. Over time, erosive forces of wind and water have influenced the soils on the site and mobile soil/overburden particles, such as silt and clay, have eroded from higher topographic positions and have been re -deposited in lower areas. The aggregate deposits and loamy soil/overburden material are underlain by a variable pattern of unconsolidated shale and sandstone parent materials. Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 5 Mine Phasing Connell Resources anticipates mining and reclaiming the proposed Lazy Two Pit site in approximately 15 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 approximately 10 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. Since the proposed permit area is a relatively uniform land area, the mining plan currently includes mining in just one phase from south to north (see Exhibit C-5. Pre-Mining/Mining Plan Map). Even though the proposed permit area will be mined in only one phase, integration of mining and reclamation is still applicable. In general, as the pit reaches its maximum depth and edges are completed, they will be backfilled and reclaimed. In areas where the final pit depth has been achieved and operations are no longer present, backfilling and reclamation of pit walls will extend onto the pit floor. Rough contouring of the pit floor to facilitate drainage will take place during mining while fine contouring and establishing final drainage patterns will be one of the last steps in the reclamation process. The contour blending will avoid steep transitions and create a topography that produces a smooth, relatively low velocity flow from the mined area to adjacent areas. Overland flow patterns will be incorporated into this transition so as to connect the pit floor with existing drainage systems. Mining Methods Groundwater is not expected to be encountered during mining and the deposit will be dry mined. Mining will proceed by first stripping and stockpiling topsoils and overburden. The exposed gravel will then be removed in lifts and transported to the processing facility. Since the material is unconsolidated deposits, no blasting is required. Earth Moving Areas to be mined are prepared by removal of topsoil and overburden. Each preparation area may be as much as 100 feet wide. 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 surface layer has been removed, the rest of the overburden will be stripped and used directly for backfill or stockpiled separate from the surface layer. The active mining face will extend no more than 1,000 feet in length. During mining and prior to reclamation, the mine walls will be a nearly vertical to 1/2H:1V V slope (see Exhibit C-5, Pre- Mining/Mining Plan Map). Mining will progress down to the depth of quality aggregate material or approximately 10 feet below the surface. As the mining face progresses, pit sidewalls behind the mining activities will be reclaimed. So reclamation activities do not interfere with m i n i n Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 6 operations, pit sidewalls may extend 500 feet behind the active mining face without being reclaimed. The aggregate material will be recovered using equipment typical for sand and gravel mining operations. Earth moving equipment may include, but are not limited to dozers, loaders, scrapers, and excavators. The aggregate material from the pit will be temporarily stockpiled within the pit or transported directly to the processing facility. During mining and reclamation activities, watering trucks for dust control will be used as needed. Setbacks from the mine pit top of slope to the proposed permit boundary or man-made structures not owned by the applicant will be 25 feet or greater. For setbacks adjacent to a man-made structure not owned by the applicant that are less than 25 feet, an agreement will obtained from the property owner or an engineering slope stability analysis will be performed. Setbacks from near vertical mining excavations to the permit boundary will be a minimum of twice the adjacent pit depth, but never less than 25 feet, to mitigate stability risks. Topsoil and overburden material excavated from the pit will be stockpiled separately and used for backfilling mine pit slopes and other reclamation activities. The non -marketable material stockpiles will be created adjacent to the areas that will be backfilled. When sufficient material is available in the stockpile, the material will be backfilled into previously mined areas. The side slopes of the mine pit will be backfilled, graded to a minimum 3H:1 V slope, and seeded as mining progresses. Approximately 15,000 feet of pit side slopes will be created during mining. Since reclamation is anticipated to be concurrent with mining operations, the actual length of side slope requiring backfilling and grading at any point in time is expected to be far less than 15,000 feet. Since the pit depth is estimated to be about 10 feet, the typical side slope is expected to be 10 feet high. Once backfilling and final grading has been completed in an area, the top of the slope and the side slopes will be seeded as soon as practicable (based on first available seeding season). Since reclamation will take place concurrently with mining, large and long-term topsoil and overburden stockpiling is not anticipated. Topsoil and overburden stockpiles will be configured to have side -slopes no steeper than 2H:1 V. If the stockpiles are inactive for more than one growing season they will be seeded with the fast growing grass seed mixture in the table below. However, since the stockpile materials will continually be used for reclamation, 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. Stockpile Grass Seed Mixture Grass Species Rate (lbs 1'LS/acre) Intermediate Wheatgrass 5.0 Blue Grama 1.0 Triticale (sterile hybrid of wheat and rye) 1.25 Rates are for broadcast seeding. Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 7 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 Lazy Two Pit site, it is assumed that the mining disturbance will be at its greatest close to midway through the mining operation. During this scenario, the southern portion of the site has been mined and the pit is partially backfilled to establish final site drainage. Only about half of the required backfilling, grading, and revegetation of the pit has been completed at this point. To complete the backfilling, material from un-mined areas of the site will need to be harvested, placed in the pit, graded, topsoiled, and revegetated. Additionally, highwalls associated with the active mining face and approximately 500 feet of side slope on both sides of the mining face will require dozing, grading, topsoiling, and revegetation. Mine Operation Aspects and Disturbance Areas Aspect Mining Operation Disturbed Area (acres) A Active Mining Area: 1. Near vertical active mining face and 100 -foot wide pre -stripped area in anticipation of mining. 2. Near vertical un-reclaimed pit side slopes. 3. Un-reclaimed pit floor. 13.8 B Material Harvesting Area and Pit Backfilling 1. Material harvest area in un-mined area — 78 acres. 2. Partially reclaimed pit, backfilled with harvested overburden material to grade — 30.5 acres. 108.5 C Miscellaneous Disturbed Areas: 1. Scale house building area. 2. Internal haul roads. 3. Main site access road. 2.0 D Final Reclamation: 1. Seeding. 2. Re -seeding. NA Total Disturbed Area 124.3 Diversions and Impoundments The existing grade of the proposed permit area generally drains from north to south. Stormwater that falls directly on disturbed areas will generally drain to the mine pit and allowed to infiltrate. The active mine pit will effectively contain stormwater flows and prevent surface runoff from disturbed areas of the site. Stormwater not encountering disturbed areas will be allowed to drain within natural drainage patterns. Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 8 Material Processing and Associated Facilities A portable processing facility for product crushing and screening will be brought to the site and used as needed. The facility will be located within the pit close to where active mining is occurring or near the site entrance. A fueling/lubricating station, generators, and outdoor storage may also be located near the portable processing facility. Pit run material will be hauled or conveyed to the processing plant where raw material and product stockpiles will be located. Alternatively, the material may be hauled off -site as pit run for direct use or processing elsewhere. In addition to the portable processing facility, a portable asphalt plant may also be used on the site as needed. The asphalt plant would be located in the mine pit or close to the site entrance near the portable processing facility to minimize material handling and hauling distances. A mine office/scale house trailer will be established near the site entrance. The office/scale house area may be used for employee parking, equipment fueling/lubricating, or equipment storage. Commodities to be Mined and Intended Use Sand and gravel for use as construction materials will be the primary products produced from the proposed Lazy Two Pit site. Test pits have verified that commercial deposits of sand and gravel exist up to about 10 feet below the surface of the ground. In addition to the commercial sand and gravel materials, clay, silt, and other non -marketable 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. Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 9 EXHIBIT E Reclamation Plan This plan covers the proposed Lazy Two Pit final reclamation activities. Final Proposed Land Use The current land use for the Lazy Two Pit property is rangeland. The use of this land is not expected to change. Most of the land surrounding the proposed permit area has similar uses of rangeland and open space. With so much open, undeveloped land in the surrounding area, maintaining this land as rangeland is consistent with the more regional land uses. General Overview of the Reclamation Plan Reclamation of the proposed permit area is fairly straightforward. Much of the pit, after mining, will contain a pit floor that gently slopes from north to south. The pit floor will be backfilled and graded to connect with existing drainages. Reclaimed mine pit side slopes will be created by backfilling the near vertical mining highwalls with overburden. All areas disturbed by mining activities will be prepared with topsoil and overburden and revegetated during reclamation. Revegetation will generate a blend of grass species and, given suitable precipitation, should produce good vegetation cover over much of the reclaimed site. In general, shallower reclaimed slopes will provide easier access during reclamation and safer access for ranching equipment following mining. Shallower slopes will also aid in establishing vegetation growth and minimize erosion. Therefore, no slopes will be reclaimed any steeper than 3H:1 V. Grading of pit side slopes and the pit bottom will attempt to adhere to the surrounding natural topography and drainage patterns. In order for the reclaimed pit to drain naturally, the southern side of the pit will be backfilled such that the pit bottom to the north can grade gently into the existing grade at the southern end of the proposed permit boundary. The mine office/scale house trailer, portable processing facility, asphalt plant, 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 overburden replacement and vegetative cover to stabilize the areas and minimize erosion. Materials Handling All available topsoil material will be used for backfilling. Similar to mining, earth moving equipment may include, but are not limited to dozers, loaders, scrapers, and excavators. Additional farm equipment for grading and seeding may be used for revegetation activities. Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 10 Materials Handling - Backfilling It is estimated that approximately one million cubic yards (cyds) of combined topsoil and overburden will be available for backfi 11 ing. At the southern end of the site, the pit will be backfilled to existing grade, or approximately 5570 amsl (see Exhibit F, Reclamation Plan Map). From the southern end, backfilling the pit to an approximate elevation of 5570 amsl will continue north until the top of the backfill elevation matches grade with the bottom of the mined -out pit. With the north to south pre -m in ing ground surface grade of about 0.7-0.8 percent, and backfilling the south end of the pit to create a near flat (0.1 percent) final backfill surface grade, this will occur approximately 1,500 feet north of the southern proposed permit boundary and require less than 0.5 million cyds of backfill. The remainder of the pit floor to the north will receive only enough overburden backfill to establish a growth medium for revegetation. The pit slopes in the northern portion of the site, and any others not previously backfilled, will be backfilled to achieve final reclaimed slopes of 3H:1V or flatter (see Exhibit F, Reclamation Plan Map). Backfilling of the pit and side slopes as described will place the material necessary to grade the site for vegetation growth and drainage. Materials Handling - Grading Blending of the pit into the natural drainage will be important to prevent pooling of water in the pit bottom. The backfilled southern portion of the pit will be graded to let stormwater flow freely through the reclaimed site. The final grading will blend the topographic contouring from the pit floor with the undisturbed topography south of the site. Where 3H:1V V pit side slopes exist, they will be graded to transition into the relatively flat pit floor gradually, avoiding a sharp slope break that could encourage erosion. Grading of the pit floor may leave a subtle rolling topography rather than a completely flat bottom depending on varying depths of the sand and gravel deposit. The variations in topography will not create water catchment areas, but shall be graded to drain freely. The gentle slope of the topography will control water flow and create a variety of microenvironments for vegetation growth. The side slopes will also not be graded smooth, but will contain a low profile ridging pattern that follows the contour. Final grading that leaves this type of ridging pattern helps to capture water for plant growth as well as reduce the velocity of runoff and slope erosion. On these slopes, erosion may present a maintenance issue for the first year or two of revegetation if there are large, drenching thunderstorms, but more normal low intensity thunderstorms should not create more than minor rilling. 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. There will not be known toxic or hazardous materials in the backfill material. 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. Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 11 Topsoil and Revegetation The growth medium for revegetation will be a combination of overburden and topsoils. Unfortunately, there is not a large quantity of quality topsoil available at the site. The topsoil is only marginally different from the overburden, with its main distinction being slightly higher in organic matter. Because of its thin and scarce occurrence, true topsoil stripping will likely incorporate some of the underlying silty clay overburden material. Every effort will be made to separate true topsoil stripping, but even with the incorporation of some overburden material, it is not anticipated that large quantities of the topsoil/overburden growth medium will be available for reclamation. Because of its limited availability, the topsoil/overburden growth medium may not be placed evenly over the entire site. The floor of the pit will likely need less growth medium because moisture accumulation there will help vegetation growth and new soil development. Therefore, only about six inches of the topsoil/overburden growth medium will be placed on the pit floor. The same dressing will be used for areas where stockpiles, access roads, or mining structures have been removed and the underlying material has been scarified in preparation for reclamation. A minimum of one foot of growth medium \\ ill be placed on backfilled or otherwise created pit slopes. The extra thickness of growth medium will help to retain moisture on the slopes and provide a deeper rooting zone to help protect against erosion. When spreading growth medium on slopes, the same requirements for general grading will be followed. Final grading prior to seeding will only follow the contours of the slope, creating ridging patterns that follow the contour, and will never produce tracks up and down the slope. Planting of the site will be done as areas are finished with preparation after grading and spreading topsoil/overburden growth medium. Planting will occur seasonally to allow for timely germination with available moisture and to provide the highest possibility for growth success. If possible, planting will be performed between mid -November and the end of April. Drill seeding is the preferred method for revegetation. Grass seed should be planted with a drill equipped with depth bands and press wheels. On this site, broadcast seeding is not advisable as seed burial would be limited. If broadcast seeding is necessary on moist soils, steep slopes, or in excessively rocky areas, success can be encouraged by broadcasting onto growth medium that is very loose, such as occurs immediately after spreading the plant growth medium. If the seed is broadcast in those circumstances, then the seeded area will be dragged to help bury the seed. At this time, no fertilizer or mulch is being proposed. On west and south facing slopes, mulch may be applied if desired, but only if the mulch is very strongly crimped into the soil. On this site, straw mulch, unless well anchored would most likely just blow away, providing little benefit. If mulch is used, certified weed -less straw mulch at a rate of 2,000 pounds per acre should be applied. However, no fertilizer is recommended for revegetation of the Lazy Two Pit permit area. Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 12 The reclamation seed mixture was provided by the Natural Resources Conservation Service for mine land reclamation in the region of the proposed permit area and is listed below. Revegetation Seed Mix Species Rate PLS/acreL 4.80 4�lbs Wheatgrass, Western Grama, Sideoats 1.82 Grama, Blue 0.50 Green needlegrass 1.92 Buffalograss (bur) 1.65 TOTAL 10.69 Rates are for drill seeding. If broadcast seeding is used, double seeding rates. 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. Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 13 Wildlife Current wildlife conditions and potential impacts are described in Exhibit H, Wildlife Information. Water — General Requirement No groundwater is expected to be encountered in the mining and therefore groundwater in the area should not be affected. Although the pit floor will have a gentle, possibly rolling, topography as described above, discharge from the pit to the existing drainage will still occur. Since the retention of water in the pit is not allowed under Colorado water law without prior approval, pit floor configurations will keep water draining from the site. Grading will minimize steep slopes and other areas that could create high runoff velocities and excessive erosion. The discharge from the pit will be intentionally directed into existing drainageways. Thus, the edge of the pit will likely have not only a horizontal blending to produce smooth slope transitions, but it will be vertically variable to match rises and falls in the topography just beyond the pit edge. Initially, silt fence or other sedimentation best management techniques shall be installed in all significant drainages within about 50 feet of the edge of the affected land. Until the vegetation develops on the pit floor there will be a fair amount of sediment discharge from the regraded and seeded pit floor. These best management practices will aid in reducing the amount of sediment that leaves the affected land. 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. No irrigation will be used in establishing the vegetation, so no water rights are required for those purposes. No water storage will occur in the pit. Current water resource conditions and potential surface water and groundwater impacts are described in Exhibit G, Water Information. Buildings and Structures There are no existing buildings or structures in the proposed permit area and no structures will be left following reclamation. Signs and Markers Permit notification signs will be placed and maintained at the entrance to the operation. 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. Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 14 EXHIBIT F Reclamation Plan Map See attached map. Exhibit F: Reclamation Plan Map Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 15 EXHIBIT G Water Information The proposed permit area is located in Section 11, Township 10 North, Range 67 West of the 6th Principal Meridian, Weld County, Colorado. The proposed permit area includes 304.3 acres. Introduction There are no surface water resources within the proposed permit area (see Exhibit C-4, Water Resource Map). According to United States Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5 -Minute Series maps (Carr SW and Dover quadrangles) an ephemeral drainage bisects the proposed site from north to south, but no defined bed, bank, or channel exists on the property. The principle drainage systems in the area are Lone Tree Creek approximately 1-2 miles east of the site and the Spring Creek drainage system about 1.5 miles to the west. The ephemeral drainage within the proposed permit boundary illustrated on the USGS maps does not connect to either primary drainage system and dissipates just south of the property. Neither the Lone Tree Creek or Spring Creek drainage have associated regulatory floodplains near the proposed permit area. The only registered groundwater well within 600 feet of the proposed permit area is owned by the proposed permit property owner (see Exhibit C-4, Water Resource Map). Regardless, the proposed mining operation does not anticipate encountering groundwater and no impacts to the surrounding groundwater hydrology are expected. Potential Mining and Reclamation Impacts The proposed mining operation will have no affect on site water resources. Water is primarily used for dust control and is trucked from off -site sources. Water use for washing of product materials is not anticipated. As discussed in previous sections, it is not expected to encounter groundwater during mining and stormwater will not be retained in the active mine pit or in the reclaimed pit area. Prior to the site being graded to drain stormwater freely, if stormwater accumulates in the pit and does not readily infiltrate, pumps will be used to remove the water and return it to the downstream drainage. Water Quality Mining and reclamation operations shall comply with Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Colorado Discharge Permitting System (CDPS) for stormwater management. A permit will be obtained that 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. Due to the absence of large quantities of potential pollutants on site, the mining and reclamation operations will not 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. Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 16 EXHIBIT H Wildlife Information To evaluate potential wildlife habitat impacts from the proposed operation, information was gathered from the Natural Diversity Information Source (NDIS) as well as publications associated with the Pawnee National Grasslands to the east of the site. 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. The proposed permit area is managed rangeland with mining and railroad activities on nearby properties. The site primarily contains upland rangeland with no water, riparian, or wetland habitats. Upland areas consist primarily of native and introduced grasses for grazing. 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, and Western burrowing owl. However, burrows that could be associated with these species have not been observed on the proposed site. No potential raptor nests were found in 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 open water habitat within and near the proposed permit area, shore birds and waterfowl are not likely to be present. It could be expected that most mammals common or abundant in Weld County would not 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, antelope, coyote, and fox. Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 17 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. After removal of the gravels and the creation of a basin within the mine pit, wildlife habitat could be better on the bottom of the pit where vegetation growth may be more abundant. Grading of the mine pit floor may improve drainage, potentially creating better vegetation growth conditions and an increase in wildlife utilization. However, water availability will still be limiting. The nearby Lone Tree Creek and Spring Creek drainages will likely still contain the primary wildlife habitat in the area. Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 18 EXHIBIT I 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 and Ascalon fine sandy loamy and 2. Platner loam. 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 6 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 2 feet in depth. The soil/overburden material likely developed from alluvial and eolian deposits of clay, silts, and sands. Over time, erosive forces of wind and water have influenced the soils on the site and mobile soil/overburden particles, such as silt and clay, have eroded from higher topographic positions and have been re -deposited in lower areas. The aggregate deposits and loamy soil/overburden material are underlain by a variable pattern of unconsolidated shale and sandstone parent materials. Altvan and Ascalon Fine Sandy Loams The Altvans and Ascalons are found on level and nearly level (0 to 6 percent slopes) land forms. Located on loamy plains throughout the area, these soil types are well drained and classified as Hydrologic Soil Group B. They are also the most dominant soil types 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 habitat. Their water holding capacity is low to moderate and typically do best as seeded rangeland. These soils produce low plant densities of Blue Grama/Buffalo Grass sod with excessive ground litter. Platner Loam Platner soils are found on level and nearly level (0 to 3 percent slopes) land forms. Located on summits and interfluves, these soil types are well drained and classified as Hydrologic Soil Group C. They are a dominant 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 non -irrigated cropland and rangeland. Winter wheat is the primary crop. Permeability of the soil is slow and the available water capacity is high. Low annual precipitation is the primary limitation for the crops that can be grown in this soil. The potential plant community on these soils is mainly Blue Grama, Western Wheatgrass, sedges and Buffalo Grass.

Disturbance to vegetation within the proposed permit area is limited to previous grazing by the owner's cattle and limited tilling for better grass production. Upon completion of mining activities, reclamation will seed disturbed areas with a mixture of native grass species. The vegetation in northeastern Colorado is generally classified as a shortgrass prairie ecoregion. The shortgrass prairie has traditionally been separated from other grassland in the Great Plains area on the basis of the relative height of the dominant grasses. This view is no longer held by ecologists. Besides the low rainfall and dominance of short grasses, one of the better means to distinguish between the shortgrass and the midgrass or tall grass prairies is that in the shortgrass region all of the available soil moisture is transpired before the end of the growing season. In general, less than 50 percent of the ground in shortgrass regions is covered by vegetation. This is an important aspect of the proposed perm it area for maximizing and determining reclamation success. Most of the uplands are sparsely covered with prairie grasses such as Blue Grama, Buffalo Grass, Western Wheatgrass, and Prairie Sandreed. The height of some grasses may reach 12 inches during periods of maximum growth, but most stands of grass do not reach that height. There are no trees or shrubs within the proposed permit area. Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 20 EXHIBIT K Climate The proposed permit area exhibits a semi -arid climate typical of the High Plains region. The region is characterized by low humidity, low average precipitation, and a high percentage of sunshine. A large amount of the precipitation which occurs falls during short duration, high intensity summer thunderstorm activity. Climate information was available from the Western Regional Climate Center in Fort Collins, Colorado and Cheyenne, Wyoming. Fort Collins is about 38 miles south-southwest of the proposed site and Cheyenne is approximately 18 miles north-northeast of the proposed permit area. The climate data collected from 1893 through 2013 and 1915 through 2013 for Fort Collins and Cheyenne, respectively, indicates the total annual precipitation at the site to be approximately 15.1 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 almost midway through mining activities. During this scenario, no reclamation will have been performed on the active mining face nor the near vertical side slopes on both sides of the mining face. Reclamation of the pit in the southern portion of the site will be about half way complete. This portion of the pit will need to be backfilled and graded to let stormwater flow freely through the reclaimed site. During mining, backfilling of the pit will progress in one area such that final grade will be achieved and the backfilled area can be topsoiled and revegetated prior to beginning backfilling in another area. However, in the maximum potential reclamation liability scenario, approximately half of the pit area (30.5 acres) will require additional backfill, grading, topsoiling, and seeding to create a final pit floor grade that will drain stormwater freely. The active mining area will include the active mining face, un-reclaimed pit side slopes, and un-reclaimed active mining area pit floor. This active mining area will be separate from the pit in the southern portion of the site described above. The active mining face will be near vertical with a maximum length of 1,000 feet and an average height of 10 feet. In front of the active mining face, an area 100 feet wide will have been pre -stripped in anticipation of mining (2.3 acres). In addition, a maximum 500 feet of un-reclaimed pit side slopes may be adjacent to each end of the active mine face. These side slopes will also be near vertical with an average height of 10 feet. Framed by the active mining face and pit side slopes, the pit floor (11.5 acres) will be un-reclaimed, contain overburden, raw material, and product stockpiles and, when needed, the portable processing facility and asphalt plant may be located here. During normal reclamation, the mining face and active pit side slopes would be backfilled to a minimum 3H:1 V slope. However, if mining stops at this maximum potential reclamation liability point, the mine face and pit side slopes will not be adjacent to the permit boundary and the highwalls can more efficiently be dozed to the required 3H:1 V or flatter slope. Following dozing, the areas will be rough graded in preparation for topsoil/overburden growth medium placement, final grading, and seeding for revegetation. The active mining pit floor will receive only enough topsoil/overburden backfill to establish a growth medium for revegetation. In addition to the active mining area, parts of the mine pit in the southern portion of the site will need to be backfilled, graded, topsoiled, and revegetated. To generate the material necessary to complete backfilling of the pit so that it will drain freely, additional material will need to be harvested from the un-mined portion of the site. Topsoil/overburden material will first be stripped from the material harvest area (78 acres) and stockpiled. Then the underlying overburden will be removed and used to finish backfilling the pit. Finally, the topsoil/overburden material will be replaced over the material harvest area to establish a growth medium for revegetation. Miscellaneous disturbed areas at the point of maximum potential reclamation liability will include the scale house area, internal haul roads, and the main site access road. These areas will Lazy Two Pit DRMS /12 Permit Application I'Llge be tilled in preparation for topsoil/overburden growth medium placement, final grading. and seeding for revegetation. It is estimated that the combined area of these disturbances ‘‘, ill be approximately two (2) acres. Since quality topsoil is scarce on the Lazy Two Pit site, vegetation growth medium will include the best quality topsoil/overburden material available. If available, a minimum of 6 inches of growth medium will be placed on all disturbed areas following backfilling, scarifying, and/or rough grading. Final grading of the topsoil/overburden growth medium will prepare the surface for seeding. After initial seeding and the first season's growth, it is estimated that approximately 20 percent of the seeded area will need to be re -seeded. Stockpiles with available topsoil/overburden for backfilling will be near the active mining area, pit, and other areas for reclamation, so haul distances will generally be less than 1,000 feet. 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 disturbed areas that total 124.3 acres. This estimate will follow the same order as the listing in Exhibit D. Connell Resources Inc. is an earth moving and construction contractor and unit costs for reclamation activities were provided from bidding documents associated with similar projects. Since all structures used in the mining operation are portable, it is assumed that removal of the structures do not have associated costs.

The mining will not intercept groundwater so highwalls will not be saturated and the total pit depth will only be about 10 feet. Mining highwalls will remain at least twice the pit depth from the proposed permit boundary and ground beyond the permit boundary will remain stable. Since all mining and reclamation activities will be performed within the permit boundary, no impacts to man-made structures outside the permit boundary are anticipated. Although no impacts to adjacent permanent man-made structures are anticipated, the applicant is contacting adjacent land owners with permanent man-made structures within 200 feet of the affected area. Structure agreements, such as the one attached, are being offered and pursued with all adjacent structure owners. Completed structure agreements will be forwarded to the Division as they are finalized. A list of observed and recorded man-made structures within 200 feet of the proposed permit boundary, organized by land parcel where the structure was observed, is provided below. Lazy Two Pit DRIVE 112 Permit Application Page 32 Structure Agreement This letter has been provided to you as the owner of a structure on or within two hundred (200) feet of a proposed mine site.

RE: Lazy Two Pit, File No. M-2019-001 Applicant/Operator: Connell Resources, Inc.; (970) 223-3151 W IA Section 11, Twp 10 North, Rng 67 West, 6th P.M., Weld County El El El CONDITIONS FOR APPROVAL The proposed operation does not anticipate exposing groundwater. Therefore, exposure of groundwater must not occur during or after mining operations. Water is proposed to be used at the site for dust control purposes. The applicant will need to document that the water was obtained from a legal source, or the water was diverted in priority under a water right decreed for such mining/industrial use. If stormwater runoff is intercepted by this operation and is not diverted or captured in priority, it must be released to the stream system within 72 hours; otherwise the operator will need to make replacements for evaporation. COMMENTS: The subject application is for a surface mining operation on 304.3 permitted acres located approximately 2.5 miles south of Carr, Colorado. The primary commodities to be mined at the site are sand and gravel. The site is proposed to be reclaimed to its current use of rangeland upon completion of mining. The site is anticipated to be mined to a depth of approximately 10 feet. Groundwater is not anticipated to be encountered during mining. There are no surface water resources within the proposed permit area. Water will primarily be used at the site is for dust control purposes, and will be trucked from off - site sources. The site will be graded so that stormwater follows natural drainage patterns and is not retained in the pit. However, if stormwater accumulates in the pit and does not readily infiltrate, the applicant proposes to use pumps to remove the water and return it to the downstream drainage. The applicant may contact the State Engineer's Office with any questions. 1313 Sherman Street. Room 821.

Box 2427, 80522 Fort Collins, Colorado, Bill Schenderlein Project Manager the application is to create rangeland at or near Section 11, Township 10 North, Range 67 West of the 6th Prime Meridian, Weld County, Colorado. The general location is approximately 2.5 miles South of the community of Carr, Colorado. Comments and Concerns #1: Well Permitting for the proposed Lazy Two Pit: We are concerned after talking to several water professionals that it is possible a well of the size needed to support the proposed Lazy Two Pit could have an impact on our residential well. #2: County Roads in the proposed Lazy Two Pit area will be incapable of supporting the truck traffic that will be associated with this project: We are concerned that County Road 21 and County Road 118 that are adjacent to the proposed Lazy Two Pit which are gravel roads and of which are presently minimally wide enough for the residential vehicle traffic in this area would become unsafe and unmanageable. The unsafe condition mentioned is in our opinion obvious however the unmanageable condition may not be as obvious so the following is our explanation. Maintenance of the county roads in this area have always been minimal and we do understand the difficulty that presents itself with the maintenance of the roads in the area. However, when you add the trucking of material from the proposed Lazy Two Pit to this equation the proper maintenance of the above -mentioned county roads would be improbable and when compounded with the minimal width of these roads would create a possible liability issue to all parties involved including the people traveling these roads daily. #3: Property Values will be affected by the proposed Lazy two Pit: Our concern is that property values which are in close proximity to the proposed Lazy Two Pit location will be affected for as many years as the mine is active and quite possibly for years afterward. #4: Public Health and Safety: There are many concerns with this issue concerning the proposed Lazy Two Pit including but not limited to: dust from the mining process, contamination of residential wells (mentioned above in item #1), dangerous conditions encountered by the public traveling on roadways including people walking, riding horses and in vehicles. Thank you for considering the affects that would be daily concerns to us and the residents of the Carr, Colorado area as indicated in the description of the Lazy Two Pit. Phillip K.

Lazy Two Pit, Permit No. M-2019-001 Dear Mr. Hays: The following discussion and attachments are submitted on behalf of our client, Connell Resources, Inc., in response to the Adequacy Review comments prepared by the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety dated March 12, 2019 for the Lazy Two Pit 112 Construction Materials Reclamation Permit application. The information and discussion below addresses each comment as it was presented by the Division: 1. Proof of publication in a newspaper of general circulation is attached. Publications were made on January 23 and 30, 2019 and February 6 and 13, 2019 in the Coloradoan newspaper. 2. Proof of notice to all owners of record of surface and mineral rights of affected land and surface owners and easement holders within 200 feet of the affected land is attached. Notices were sent to owners and easement holders after the January 23, 2019 publication. The certified letter return receipts are attached. 3. The Colorado Division of Water Resources comments have been reviewed and (1) no groundwater will be exposed during mining, (2) water trucked to the site will be obtained from a legal source, and (3) stormwater will not be detained in the mining cell for more than 72 hours. The Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation comments have been reviewed and if cultural resources are uncovered during mining the proper authorities and/or agencies will be notified. If human remains are discovered during mining, earth moving activities in the area will stop and the authorities will be notified. The Department of the Army comments were reviewed and the Lazy Two Pit property does not contain Waters of the U.S. nor will any Waters of the U.S. be disturbed during mining and reclamation activities. The project site is also not within a Federal Emergency Management Agency jurisdictional floodplain or other floodplain regulated by Weld County. During the wildlife review and assessment of the site and surrounding lands, U.S. Fish and Wildlife references were used to evaluate the potential presence and impact on threatened and/or endangered wildlife species. Based on the available data, mining activities will not Blue Earth Solutions, LLC • P.O.

Representatives from Connell Resources, Inc. met with Phillip and Judy MacLean on March 19, 2019 to discuss the proposed mining operation and any potential impacts to the MacLean's residence or other assets. We believe that the MacLean's are confident that impacts from the mining operation will not occur and, if they are adversely affected by the operation, Connell Resources will mitigate any impacts. 6.4.4 Exhibit D — Mining Plan 5. The statement. "Items owned by the applicant or property owner 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." in Exhibit D, Mining Plan, overstates the existence of structures within the mining area and has been removed. However, the signed Right to Enter agreements with the property owner's state that the property is included in the permit application, "... for the purposes of mining construction materials and reclaiming said property in accordance with the requirements of the permit". Therefore, the applicant believes that the Right to Enter agreement, as obtained and submitted, allows Connell Resources, Inc. the right to mine according to the property modification descriptions and exhibits provided in the reclamation permit application. The revised Exhibit D, Mining Plan, is attached. 6. The statement on Page 7 referring to, "... setbacks adjacent to a man-made structure not owned by the applicant that are less than 25 feet...", has been removed from Exhibit D, Mining Plan. The applicant has offered the owners of all structures within 200 feet of the affected land structure agreements. Agreements have been obtained, or are in the process of being obtained, from most of the neighboring structure owners including Nunn Telephone Company and Poudre Valley REA. In addition, Weld County stated in the Use by Special Review (USR) for mining operations pre -application meeting that county interests for roads and right-of-ways (ROWs) will be protected in the Weld County Use by Special Review permit and mad maintenance agreement (meeting minutes attached). 7. As mining is completed, highwalls will generally be adjacent to the permit boundary and, due to limited space, will be backfilled and not "dozed". Dozing of the active mine face and side slopes, as referred to on Page 8, would only occur if mining was to end at the point of maximum disturbance. At this point, as described in Exhibit L, Reclamation Costs, it is assumed that the mining face and side slopes are not adjacent to the permit boundary and reclamation could more efficiently be completed by dozing the highwalls with a "cut and fill" technique. The language "highwalls associated with the active mining face and approximately 500 feet of side slope on both sides of the mining face will require dozing, grading, topsoiling, and revegetation" on Page 8 has been changed to "highwalls associated with the active mining face and approximately 500 feet of side slope on both sides of the mining face will require reclamation" to avoid confusion. As stated, the reclamation process at the point of maximum disturbance is described in Exhibit L, Reclamation Costs. blue eanth SOLUTIONS Page 2 of 6 Mr. Peter Hays RE: Lazy Two Pit M-2019-001 April 17, 2019 8. The applicant commits to providing the Division with a technical revision prior to the operation of a temporary asphalt plant on the Lazy Two Pit site. 9. The fueling/lubrication area near the office/scale house will be a dedicated location. Minimal amounts of bulk fuel and miscellaneous equipment maintenance fluids and oils will be stored on -site. When possible, fuels, oils, and other hazardous materials will be brought to the site as -needed with mobile maintenance vehicles. If stored on -site, bulk hazardous materials will be stored in double -walled tanks within lined and bermed secondary containment. The vehicle pads shall be prepared with compacted clay and safety equipment and materials to immediately clean up, store, and dispose of any spilled hazardous materials will be kept on -site. 10. The statement in Exhibit E, Reclamation Plan, on Page 10 "All available topsoil material will be used for baclling." Has been changed to "All available overburden material will be used for backfilling." 11. The statement in Exhibit D, Mining Plan, that topsoil shall be removed and segregated from overburden is correct. As topsoil and overburden are stripped prior to mining, the materials shall be segregated and stockpiled separately for use during reclamation. The statement in Exhibit E, Reclamation Plan, on Page 11 more accurately describes all stripped material available for reclamation. Therefore, the statement has been changed from, "approximately one million cubic yards (cyds) of combined topsoil and overburden will be available for backfilling" to, "approximately one million cubic yards (cyds) of combined topsoil and overburden will be available for reclamation". The revised Exhibit E, Reclamation Plan, is attached. 6.4.7 Exhibit G — Water Information 12. The owners of properties that could potentially have wells within 600 feet of the affected land were contacted directly, including site visits, to evaluate the presence of Colorado Division of Water Resources registered and/or unregistered groundwater wells. Property owners that were contacted included Ross, Burris, Mellott, and Maclean. Wells that were located are listed and illustrated on the attached revised Exhibit C-4, Water Resource Map. In Exhibit G, Water Information, the statement, "The only registered groundwater well within 600 feet of the proposed permit area is owned by the proposed permit property owner (see Exhibit C-4, Water Resource Map)" has been changed to, "Known Colorado Division of Water Resources registered and/or unregistered groundwater wells within 600 feet of the affected area are illustrated on Exhibit C-4, Water Resource Map." A revised Exhibit G, Water Information, is attached. 13. The source of water used on the Lazy Two Pit site will be the groundwater well located at the Tucker Aggregate Pit, M-1980-002. The approved Colorado Division of Water Resources well permit is attached. 14. Groundwater on the Lazy Two Pit site will not be exposed during mining or reclamation. If groundwater is encountered, the area will be backfilled to two (2) feet above the normal blue earth SOLUTIONS Page 3 of 6 Mr. Peter Hays RE: Lazy Two Pit M-2019-001 April 17, 2019 groundwater elevation and a well permit and approved augmentation plan will be obtained from Colorado Division of Water Resources before groundwater is exposed. Test pits were excavated on the property to evaluate the depth and spatial extent of the gravel reserve. The test pits were excavated several feet below the identified gravel reserve and no groundwater was exposed in any of the pits. Where available, construction reports from domestic wells near the site were also evaluated (available well construction reports attached). Information from the reports is provided in the table below. Although the wells on the Mellott property did not have available construction reports, the static water level in the wells was estimated by the property owner. Well Location (Property) Approximate Well Location (from Lazy Two Pit) Estimated Static Water Level (feet below ground surface) Ross On -site unknown Burris 600 feet SW 72 JEM Ranch 1400 feet west 21 Thomas Ranch 3000 feet north 75 Maclean 800 feet east unknown Indian Creek Ranch 2000 feet west 78 Whitfield 1800 feet south 22 Mellott 500 feet south 75 It is difficult to spatially compare groundwater elevations using depth to water since ground surface elevations vary between well locations. However, some general inferences can be made from the available data. Based on the available information, as described below, it would be reasonable to assume that groundwater beneath the Lazy Two Pit site could range from as shallow as 20 feet to as deep as 50 feet below the ground surface. These estimates place the normal groundwater elevation at least 10 feet below the estimated pit depth. Additionally, from the well construction reports with available bore logs, it appears that water was not encountered in the upper sand and gravel materials, but in deeper shale and sandstone formations. The Lazy Two Pit property is generally lower than properties to the east and west of the proposed mining site. This means that although depth to water in some adjacent property wells may be about 75 below the surface, ground elevations where wells are located east and west of the site (Burris, Thomas Ranch, Indian Creek Ranch) could be as much as 20 to 40 feet higher than the Lazy Two Pit ground surface. Wells in the region with shallower depth to water measurements (JEM Ranch, Whitfield) appear to be at elevations more similar to the Lazy Two Pit ground surface elevation, but these wells are also located adjacent to the Spring Creek drainage — a northwest to southeast running drainage located west and south of the site where higher groundwater elevations would be expected. Although the Mellott well is at a similar ground surface elevation as the Lazy Two Pit site and the static depth to water was estimated at 75 feet, there are no records documenting the measurement and the accuracy could be suspect.

The agreements that are in progress will be forwarded to the Division when they are complete. The agreement to be completed with Weld County Public Works for the county roads and right-of-ways is described in the minutes from the applicant's Weld County USR for Mining Operation pre -application meeting. Therefore, agreements have been, or will be, obtained for all significant man-made structures within two hundred (200) feet of the affected land. Although a structure agreement has not been obtained from Indian Creek Land and Cattle, the man-made structures only include an unimproved access road and culvert that are located on the far side of County Road 21 from the site. With a 25 -foot mining setback from the county road 60 -foot right-of-way, the structures are located a minimum of 67 feet from the mining limits. Mining activities associated with the 10 -foot deep pit are not expected to affect these structures. A structure agreement has not been obtained from Thomas Ranch for a 3 -strand wire fence. The fence appears to have been placed at or near the Weld County Road 120 right-of-way and is at least 30 feet from the Lazy Two Pit permit boundary. With the 25 -foot mining setback, the fence is 55 feet from the mining limit. Mining activities associated with the 10 - foot deep pit are not expected to affect these structures. 21.

The proposed Lazy Two Pit permit area contains substantiated aggregate resources to continue the supply in this region of Colorado. As resources diminish in the Connell Carr Pit, new supplies from the proposed Lazy Two Pit will continue to provide construction materials to meet the northern Colorado demand. Introduction and Overview The proposed Lazy Two Pit permit area is currently owned by the Lazy Two Ranch LLC and Duane and Lynn Ross and consists of rangeland utilized by the owner's cattle operations. The property is located in the northeast corner of Weld County Roads 21 and 118. The site is relatively flat, generally drains from north to south, and contains short grass prairie upland areas. Permit Boundary Definition The proposed permit boundary is generally consistent with the property parcel boundaries on the west, north, and east sides. These parcel boundaries are also defined by the section or half - section lines for Section 11 (T10N, R67W). The site is also bound by Weld County Road 21 to the west and Weld County Road 118 to the south. The southern permit boundary follows parcel boundaries and the section line except where the existing farm house and associated structures are purposely excluded. Since the permit boundary will mostly follow site parcel lines, the boundary will extend to the center line of Weld County Roads 21 and 118. Although mining disturbances will be setback from road and utility right-of-ways and easements, the location of the permit boundary will allow for necessary site access roads or other disturbances adjacent to the roadways. Affected Land Boundary Definition The proposed permit boundary will encompass approximately 304.3 acres with only about 290.5 acres currently planned for mining. However, the affected land boundary essentially follows the permit boundary to allow for reclamation activities and future potential mining operations. Areas not disturbed by mining may be disturbed by access roads, stockpiles, material processing, or backfilling and other reclamation related activities. The remaining area will consist of setbacks and road and utility right-of-ways. Land Uses The proposed permit area currently consists of rangeland utilized by the owner's cattle operations. With the exception of the community of Carr, properties surrounding the proposed Lazy Two Pit site are primarily rural agricultural non -irrigated rangeland. The community of Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 4 Carr includes approximately 30 to 40 semi -rural residential home lots north of the site. In addition to the Connell Carr Pit north of Carr. there is another permitted aggregate mining property (M-1988-048) and railroad load -out yard approximately one mile north of the site. There are no established oil and gas wells, tank batteries, or other associated facilities located on the property. The interior of the property does not contain structures, easements, or right-of- ways not owned by the applicant or property owner. Several utility structures and associated easements and right-of-ways are located on the edges of the property or immediately adjacent to the proposed permit boundary including Nunn Telephone Company communication lines, Weld County road right-of-ways, and Poudre Valley REA power lines (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 where the northern edge of the Colorado Piedmont transitions up to the High Plains of southern Wyoming. The northwestern most boundary of the historic Lone Tree Creek basin originates in the Laramie Range of the Rocky Mountains and drains southeast across the relatively flat High Plains and down through the gently rolling topography of the Colorado Piedmont. Aggregate materials within the proposed permit area are composed of Pliocene and Pleistocene terrace deposits associated with the historic Lone Tree Creek drainage system. The terrace deposits within the proposed permit area extend from the surface or near -surface to a variable depth of approximately 10 feet below the ground surface. Deposition was most likely created by streams that had been rejuvenated as a result of uplift at the close of the Tertiary period and increased water supply during the Pleistocene epoch. The under -lying Tertiary sedimentary rocks that include consolidated sand and gravel conglomerates were eroded, and the process of cutting and filling of channels was so widespread that gravel and sand were deposited in sheet -like beds. The principal streams eroded into the bedrock, cutting and building terraces along the channels. More recent streams, such as Lone Tree Creek one to two miles east of the proposed permit area, have cut through the highly erodible over -lying unconsolidated material in most areas and do not generally have associated alluvial deposition. Traditional organic topsoil on most of the site is thin or non-existent, varying from 0 to 6 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 2 feet in depth. The soil/overburden material likely developed from alluvial and eolian deposits of clay, silts, and sands. Over time, erosive forces of wind and water have influenced the soils on the site and mobile soil/overburden particles, such as silt and clay, have eroded from higher topographic positions and have been re -deposited in lower areas. The aggregate deposits and loamy soil/overburden material are underlain by a variable pattern of unconsolidated shale and sandstone parent materials. Mine Phasing Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 5 Connell Resources anticipates mining and reclaiming the proposed Lazy Two Pit site in approximately 15 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 approximately 10 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. Since the proposed permit area is a relatively uniform land area, the mining plan currently includes mining in just one phase from south to north (see Exhibit C-5, Pre-Mining/Mininu in i n u Plan Map). Even though the proposed permit area will be mined in only one phase, integration of mining and reclamation is still applicable. In general, as the pit reaches its maximum depth and edges are completed, they will be backfilled and reclaimed. In areas where the final pit depth has been achieved and operations are no longer present, backfilling and reclamation of pit walls will extend onto the pit floor. Rough contouring of the pit floor to facilitate drainage will take place during mining while fine contouring and establishing final drainage patterns will be one of the last steps in the reclamation process. The contour blending will avoid steep transitions and create a topography that produces a smooth, relatively low velocity flow from the mined area to adjacent areas. Overland flow patterns will be incorporated into this transition so as to connect the pit floor with existing drainage systems. Mining Methods Groundwater is not expected to be encountered during mining and the deposit will be dry mined. Mining will proceed by first stripping and stockpiling topsoils and overburden. The exposed gravel will then be removed in lifts and transported to the processing facility. Since the material is unconsolidated deposits, no blasting is required. Earth Moving Areas to be mined are prepared by removal of topsoil and overburden. Each preparation area may be as much as 100 feet wide. 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 surface layer has been removed, the rest of the overburden will be stripped and used directly for backfill or stockpiled separate from the surface layer. The active mining face will extend no more than 1,000 feet in length. During mining and prior to reclamation, the mine walls will be a nearly vertical to V2H:1 V slope (see Exhibit C-5, Pre- Mining/Mining Plan Map). Mining will progress down to the depth of quality aggregate material or approximately 10 feet below the surface. As the mining face progresses, pit sidewalls behind the mining activities will be reclaimed. So reclamation activities do not interfere with mining operations, pit sidewalls may extend 500 feet behind the active mining face without being reclaimed. The aggregate material will be recovered using equipment typical for sand and gravel mining operations. Earth moving equipment may include, but are not limited to dozers, loaders, Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 6 scrapers, and excavators. The aggregate material from the pit ‘‘ill be temporarily stockpiled within the pit or transported directly to the processing facility. Durinu mining and reclamation activities, watering trucks for dust control will be used as needed. Setbacks from the mine pit top of slope to the proposed permit boundary or man-made structures not owned by the applicant will be 25 feet or greater. Setbacks from near vertical mining excavations to the permit boundary will be a minimum of twice the adjacent pit depth, but never less than 25 feet, to mitigate stability risks. Topsoil and overburden material excavated from the pit will be stockpiled separately and used for backfilling mine pit slopes and other reclamation activities. The non -marketable material stockpiles will be created adjacent to the areas that will be backfilled. When sufficient material is available in the stockpile, the material will be backfilled into previously mined areas. The side slopes of the mine pit will be backfilled, graded to a minimum 3H:1V slope, and seeded as mining progresses. Approximately 15,000 feet of pit side slopes will be created during mining. Since reclamation is anticipated to be concurrent with mining operations, the actual length of side slope requiring backfilling and grading at any point in time is expected to be far less than 15,000 feet. Since the pit depth is estimated to be about 10 feet, the typical side slope is expected to be 10 feet high. Once backfilling and final grading has been completed in an area, the top of the slope and the side slopes will be seeded as soon as practicable (based on first available seeding season). Since reclamation will take place concurrently with mining, large and long-term topsoil and overburden stockpiling is not anticipated. Topsoil and overburden stockpiles will be configured to have side -slopes no steeper than 2H:1 V. If the stockpiles are inactive for more than one growing season they will be seeded with the fast growing grass seed mixture in the table below. However, since the stockpile materials will continually be used for reclamation, 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. Stockpile Grass Seed Mixture Grass Species Rate (lbs PLS/acre) Intermediate Wheatgrass 5.0 Blue Grama 1.0 Triticale (sterile hybrid of wheat and rye) 1.1S Rates are for broadcast seeding. 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 Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page mining disturbance could be at its maximum. At the proposed Lazy Two Pit site, it is assumed that the mining disturbance will be at its greatest close to midway through the mining operation. During this scenario, the southern portion of the site has been mined and the pit is partially backfilled to establish final site drainage. Only about half of the required backfilling, grading. and revegetation of the pit has been completed at this point. To complete the backfilling, material from un-mined areas of the site will need to be harvested, placed in the pit, graded, topsoiled, and revegetated. Additionally, highwalls associated with the active mining face and approximately 500 feet of side slope on both sides of the mining face will require reclamation. Mine Operation Aspects and Disturbance Areas Aspect Mining Operation Disturbed Area (acres) A Active Mining Area: 1. Near vertical active mining face and 100 -foot wide pre -stripped area in anticipation of mining. 2. Near vertical un-reclaimed pit side slopes. 3. Un-reclaimed pit floor. 1 3.8 B Material Harvesting Area and Pit Backfilling 1. Material harvest area in un-mined area — 78 acres. 2. Partially reclaimed pit, backfilled with harvested overburden material to grade — 30.5 acres. 108. ? C Miscellaneous Disturbed Areas: 1. Scale house building area. 2. Internal haul roads. 3. Main site access road. 2.0 D Final Reclamation: 1. Seeding. 2. Re -seeding. NA Total Disturbed Area 124.3 Diversions and Impoundments The existing grade of the proposed permit area generally drains from north to south. Stormwater that falls directly on disturbed areas will generally drain to the mine pit and allowed to infiltrate. The active mine pit will effectively contain stormwater flows and prevent surface runoff from disturbed areas of the site. Stormwater not encountering disturbed areas will be allowed to drain with in natural drainage patterns. Material Processing and Associated Facilities A portable processing facility for product crushing and screening will be brought to the site and used as needed. The facility will be located within the pit close to where active mining is Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 8 occurring or near the site entrance. A fueling/lubricating station, generators, and outdoor storage may also be located near the portable processing facility. Pit run material will be hauled or conveyed to the processing plant where raw material and product stockpiles will be located. Alternatively, the material may be hauled off -site as pit run for direct use or processing elsewhere. In addition to the portable processing facility, a portable asphalt plant may also be used on the site as needed. The asphalt plant would be located in the mine pit or close to the site entrance near the portable processing facility to minimize material handling and hauling distances. A mine office/scale house trailer will be established near the site entrance. The office/scale house area may be used for employee parking, equipment fueling/lubricating, or equipment storage. Commodities to be Mined and Intended Use Sand and gravel for use as construction materials will be the primary products produced from the proposed Lazy Two Pit site. Test pits have verified that commercial deposits of sand and gravel exist up to about 10 feet below the surface of the ground. In addition to the commercial sand and gravel materials, clay, silt, and other non -marketable 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. Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 9 EXHIBIT E Revised Reclamation Plan This plan covers the proposed Lazy Two Pit final reclamation activities. Final Proposed Land Use The current land use for the Lazy Two Pit property is rangeland. The use of this land is not expected to change. Most of the land surrounding the proposed permit area has similar uses of rangeland and open space. With so much open, undeveloped land in the surrounding area, maintaining this land as rangeland is consistent with the more regional land uses. General Overview of the Reclamation Plan Reclamation of the proposed permit area is fairly straightforward. Much of the pit, after mining, will contain a pit floor that gently slopes from north to south. The pit floor will be backfilled and graded to connect with existing drainages. Reclaimed mine pit side slopes will be created by backfilling the near vertical m in ing highwalls with overburden. All areas disturbed by mining activities will be prepared with topsoil and overburden and revegetated during reclamation. Revegetation will generate a blend of grass species and, given suitable precipitation, should produce good vegetation cover over much of the reclaimed site. In general, shallower reclaimed slopes will provide easier access during reclamation and safer access for ranching equipment following mining. Shallower slopes will also aid in establishing vegetation growth and minimize erosion. Therefore, no slopes will be reclaimed any steeper than 3H:1 V. Grading of pit side slopes and the pit bottom will attempt to adhere to the surrounding natural topography and drainage patterns. In order for the reclaimed pit to drain naturally, the southern side of the pit will be backfilled such that the pit bottom to the north can grade gently into the existing grade at the southern end of the proposed permit boundary. The mine office/scale house trailer, portable processing facility, asphalt plant, 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 overburden replacement and vegetative cover to stabilize the areas and minimize erosion. Materials Handling All available overburden material will be used for backt i I I ing. Similar to mining, earth moving equipment may include, but are not limited to dozers, loaders, scrapers, and excavators. Additional farm equipment for grading and seeding may be used for revegetation activities. Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 10 Materials Handling - Backfilling It is estimated that approximately one million cubic yards (cyds) of combined topsoil and overburden will be available for reclamation. At the southern end of the site, the pit will be backfilled to existing grade, or approximately 5570 amsl (see Exhibit F, Reclamation Plan Map). From the southern end, backfilling the pit to an approximate elevation of 5570 amsl will continue north until the top of the backfill elevation matches grade with the bottom of the mined -out pit. With the north to south pm -mining ground surface grade of about 0.7-0.8 percent, and backfilling the south end of the pit to create a near flat (0.1 percent) final backfill surface grade, this will occur approximately 1,500 feet north of the southern proposed permit boundary and require less than 0.5 million cyds of backfill. The remainder of the pit floor to the north will receive only enough overburden backfill to establish a growth medium for revegetation. The pit slopes in the northern portion of the site, and any others not previously backfilled, will be backfilled to achieve final reclaimed slopes of 3H:1 V or flatter (see Exhibit F, Reclamation Plan Map). Backfilling of the pit and side slopes as described will place the material necessary to grade the site for vegetation growth and drainage. Materials Handling - Grading Blending of the pit into the natural drainage will be important to prevent pooling of water in the pit bottom. The backfilled southern portion of the pit will be graded to let stormwater flow freely through the reclaimed site. The final grading will blend the topographic contouring from the pit floor with the undisturbed topography south of the site. Where 31-1:1V pit side slopes exist, they will be graded to transition into the relatively flat pit floor gradually, avoiding a sharp slope break that could encourage erosion. Grading of the pit floor may leave a subtle rolling topography rather than a completely flat bottom depending on varying depths of the sand and gravel deposit. The variations in topography will not create water catchment areas, but shall be graded to drain freely. The gentle slope of the topography will control water flow and create a variety of microenvironments for vegetation growth. The side slopes will also not be graded smooth, but will contain a low profile ridging pattern that follows the contour. Final grading that leaves this type of ridging pattern helps to capture water for plant growth as well as reduce the velocity of runoff and slope erosion. On these slopes, erosion may present a maintenance issue for the first year or two of revegetation if there are large, drenching thunderstorms, but more normal low intensity thunderstorms should not create more than minor rilling. 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. There will not be known toxic or hazardous materials in the backfill material. 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. Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 11 Topsoil and Revegetation The growth medium for revegetation will be a combination of overburden and topsoils. Unfortunately, there is not a large quantity of quality topsoil available at the site. The topsoil is only marginally different from the overburden, with its main distinction being slightly higher in organic matter. Because of its thin and scarce occurrence, true topsoil stripping will likely incorporate some of the underlying silty clay overburden material. Every effort will be made to separate true topsoil stripping, but even with the incorporation of some overburden material, it is not anticipated that large quantities of the topsoil/overburden growth medium will be available for reclamation. Because of its limited availability, the topsoil/overburden growth medium may not be placed evenly over the entire site. The floor of the pit will likely need less growth medium because moisture accumulation there will help vegetation growth and new soil development. Therefore, only about six inches of the topsoil/overburden growth medium will be placed on the pit floor. The same dressing will be used for areas where stockpiles, access roads, or mining structures have been removed and the underlying material has been scarified in preparation for reclamation. A minimum of one foot of growth medium will be placed on backfilled or otherwise created pit slopes. The extra thickness of growth medium will help to retain moisture on the slopes and provide a deeper rooting zone to help protect against erosion. When spreading growth medium on slopes, the same requirements for general grading will be followed. Final grading prior to seeding will only follow the contours of the slope, creating ridging patterns that follow the contour, and will never produce tracks up and down the slope. Planting of the site will be done as areas are finished with preparation after grading and spreading topsoil/overburden growth medium. Planting will occur seasonally to allow for timely germination with available moisture and to provide the highest possibility for growth success. If possible, planting will be performed between mid -November and the end of April. l)ri I I seeding is the preferred method for revegetation. Grass seed should be planted with a drill equipped with depth hands and press wheels. On this site, broadcast seeding is not advisable as seed burial would be limited. If broadcast seeding is necessary on moist soils, steep slopes, or in excessively rocky areas, success can be encouraged by broadcasting onto growth medium that is very loose, such as occurs immediately after spreading the plant growth medium. If the seed is broadcast in those circumstances, then the seeded area will be dragged to help bury the seed. At this time, no fertilizer or mulch is being proposed. On west and south facing slopes, mulch may be applied if desired, but only if the mulch is very strongly crimped into the soil. On this site, straw mulch, unless well anchored would most likely just blow away, providing little benefit. If mulch is used, certified weed -less straw mulch at a rate of 2,000 pounds per acre should be applied. However, no fertilizer is recommended for revegetation of the Lazy Two Pit permit area. Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 12 The reclamation seed mixture was provided by the Natural Resources Conservation Service for mine land reclamation in the region of the proposed permit area and is listed below. Revegetation Seed Mix Species Rate (lbs PLS/acre) Wheatgrass, Western 4.80 Grama, Sideoats 1.82 Grama, Blue 0.50 Green needlegrass 1.92 I3uffalograss (bur) 1.65 TOTAL 10.69 Rates are for drill seeding. 1 f broadcast seeding is used, double seeding rates. 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 me, 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. Lazy Two Pit URMS 112 Permit Application Page 13 Wildlife Current wildlife conditions and potential impacts are described in Exhibit H, Wildlife Information. Water — General Requirement No groundwater is expected to be encountered in the mining and therefore groundwater in the area should not be affected. Although the pit floor will have a gentle, possibly rolling, topography as described above, discharge from the pit to the existing drainage will still occur. Since the retention of water in the pit is not allowed under Colorado water law without prior approval, pit floor configurations will keep water draining from the site. Grading will minimize steep slopes and other areas that could create high runoff velocities and excessive erosion. The discharge from the pit will be intentionally directed into existing drainageways. Thus, the edge of the pit will likely have not only a horizontal blending to produce smooth slope transitions, but it will be vertically variable to match rises and falls in the topography just beyond the pit edge. Initially, silt fence or other sedimentation best management techniques shall be installed in all significant drainages within about 50 feet of the edge of the affected land. Until the vegetation develops on the pit floor there will be a fair amount of sediment discharge from the regraded and seeded pit floor. These best management practices will aid in reducing the amount of sediment that leaves the affected land. 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. No irrigation will be used in establishing the vegetation, so no water rights are required for those purposes. No water storage will occur in the pit. Current water resource conditions and potential surface water and groundwater impacts are described in Exhibit G, Water Information. Buildings and Structures There are no existing buildings or structures in the proposed permit area and no structures will be left following reclamation. Signs and Markers Permit notification signs will be placed and maintained at the entrance to the operation. 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. Lazy Two Pit ORMS 112 Permit Application Page 14 EXHIBIT G Revised Water Information The proposed permit area is located in Section 11, Township 10 North, Range 67 West of the 6th Principal Meridian, Weld County, Colorado. The proposed permit area includes 304.3 acres. Introduction There are no surface water resources within the proposed permit area (see Exhibit C-4, Water Resource Map). According to United States Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5 -Minute Series maps (Carr SW and Dover quadrangles) an ephemeral drainage bisects the proposed site from north to south, but no defined bed, bank, or channel exists on the property. The principle drainage systems in the area are Lone Tree Creek approximately 1-2 miles east of the site and the Spring Creek drainage system about 1.5 miles to the west. The ephemeral drainage within the proposed permit boundary illustrated on the USGS maps does not connect to either primary drainage system and dissipates just south of the property. Neither the Lone Tree Creek or Spring Creek drainage have associated regulatory floodplains near the proposed permit area. Known Colorado Division of Water Resources registered and/or unregistered groundwater wells within 600 feet of the affected area are illustrated on Exhibit C-4, Water Resource Map. The proposed mining operation does not anticipate encountering groundwater and no impacts to the surrounding groundwater hydrology are expected. Potential Mining and Reclamation Impacts The proposed mining operation will have no affect on site water resources. Water is primarily used for dust control and is trucked from off -site sources. Water use for washing of product materials is not anticipated. As discussed in previous sections, it is not expected to encounter groundwater during mining and stormwater will not be retained in the active mine pit or in the reclaimed pit area. Prior to the site being graded to drain stormwater freely, if stormwater accumulates in the pit and does not readily infiltrate, pumps will be used to remove the water and return it to the downstream drainage. Water Quality Mining and reclamation operations shall comply with Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Colorado Discharge Permitting System (CDPS) for stormwater management. A permit will be obtained that 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. Due to the absence of large quantities of potential pollutants on site, the mining and reclamation operations will not 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. Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 4 EXHIBIT L Revised Reclamation Costs In order to calculate maximum potential reclamation liability to the State, we have selected a point in time where reclamation costs could be at a maximum. It is assumed that the time of maximum mining disturbance will be almost midway through mining activities. During this scenario, no reclamation will have been performed on the active mining face nor the near vertical side slopes on both sides of the mining face. Reclamation of the pit in the southern portion of the site will be about half way complete. This portion of the pit will need to be backfilled and graded to let stormwater flow freely through the reclaimed site. During mining, backfilling of the pit will progress in one area such that final grade will be achieved and the backfilled area can be topsoiled and revegetated prior to beginning backfilling in another area. However, in the maximum potential reclamation liability scenario, approximately half of the pit area (30.5 acres) will require additional backfill, grading, topsoiling, and seeding to create a final pit floor grade that will drain stormwater freely. The active mining area will include the active mining face, un-reclaimed pit side slopes, and un-reclaimed active mining area pit floor. This active mining area will be separate from the pit in the southern portion of the site described above. The active mining face will be near vertical with a maximum length of 1,000 feet and an average height of 10 feet. In front of the active mining face, an area 100 feet wide will have been pre -stripped in anticipation of mining (2.3 acres). In addition, a maximum 500 feet of un-reclaimed pit side slopes may be adjacent to each end of the active mine face. These side slopes will also be near vertical with an average height of 10 feet. Framed by the active mining face and pit side slopes, the pit floor (11.5 acres) will be un-reclaimed, contain overburden, raw material, and product stockpiles and, when needed, the portable processing facility and asphalt plant may be located here. During normal reclamation, the mining face and active pit side slopes would be backfilled to a minimum 3H:1 V slope. However, if mining stops at this maximum potential reclamation liability point, the mine face and pit side slopes will not be adjacent to the permit boundary and the highwalls can more efficiently be dozed to the required 3H:1 V or flatter slope. Following dozing, the areas will be rough graded in preparation for topsoil/overburden growth medium placement, final grading, and seeding for revegetation. The active mining pit floor will receive only enough topsoil/overburden backfill to establish a growth medium for revegetation. In addition to the active mining area, parts of the mine pit in the southern portion of the site will need to be backfilled, graded, topsoiled, and revegetated. fo generate the material necessary to complete backfilling of the pit so that it will drain freely, additional material will need to be harvested from the un-mined portion of the site. Topsoil/overburden material will first be stripped from the material harvest area (78 acres) and stockpiled. Then the underlying overburden will be removed and used to finish backfilling the pit. Finally, the topsoil/overburden material will be replaced over the material harvest area to establish a growth medium for revegetation. Miscellaneous disturbed areas at the point of maximum potential reclamation liability will include the scale house area, internal haul roads, and the main site access road. It is estimated that the combined area of these disturbances will be approximately two (2) acres. These areas Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 23 will be tilled with a dozer in preparation for topsoil/overburden growth medium placement. Approximately 1,650 cubic yards of topsoil/growth medium will be placed a minimum of 6 inches deep over approximately 2 acres using haul trucks or scapers and a John Deere tractor and drag will perform final grading prior to seeding for revegetation. Since quality topsoil is scarce on the Lazy Two Pit site, vegetation growth medium will include the best quality topsoil/overburden material available. Following backfilling, scarifying, and/or rough grading a minimum of 6 inches of growth medium will be placed on all relatively flat areas such as the material harvest area and the pit floor. On backfilled or otherwise created pit slopes, a minimum of one (1) foot of growth medium will be placed following backfilling, scarifying, and/or rough grading. Final grading of the topsoil/overburden growth medium will prepare the surface for seeding. After initial seeding and the first season's growth, it is estimated that approximately 20 percent of the seeded 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 disturbed areas that total 124.3 acres. This estimate will follow the same order as the listing in Exhibit D. Connell Resources Inc. is an earth moving and construction contractor and unit costs for reclamation activities were provided from bidding documents associated with similar projects. Since all structures used in the mining operation are portable, it is assumed that removal of the structures do not have associated costs. Stockpiles with available topsoil/overburden for backfilling will be near the active mining area, pit, and other areas for reclamation, so haul distances will generally be less than 1,000 feet. A conservative estimate for backfilling/dozing the mining face and side slope highwalls to create 3H:1 V slopes is 12,000 cubic yards. If material needs to be hauled for backfilling, the applicant will use a CAT 345 excavator and CAT 740 rock trucks. However, other contractors may use scrapers for better efficiency. The applicant will perform dozing of the highwalls and/or rough grading with a CAT D9 dozer. The created side slopes and pit floor will cover approximately 13.8 acres and, if it is assumed that rough grading involves the top 6 inches of material, about 1,150 cubic yards of material will be moved during rough grading. The applicant will again use a CAT 345 excavator and CAT 740 rock truck to move approximately 22,300 cubic yards of topsoil/growth medium to the area and create 1 -foot of cover, but other contractors may choose to use scrapers. The applicant will use a John Deere tractor and drag to final grade about 11,200 cubic yards of topsoil/growth medium over the 13.8 acres. Since more backfill material will be required to get the pit to drain freely, a material harvesting area will need to be created in a previously undisturbed area of site. Approximately 63,000 cubic yards of topsoil and 189,000 cubic yards of overburden will be stripped from the 78 -acre harvesting area with scrapers. The topsoil will be temporarily stockpiled and the overburden will be placed over about 30.5 acres in previously mined areas as backfill. The haul distance will be less than 1,000 feet. The CAT D9 dozer will be used to rough grade the material harvest area and backfilled area (108.5 acres), moving approximately 87,500 cubic yards of material (assuming 0.5 cubic yards of material is moved during rough grading). The applicant will then use the CAT 345 excavator and CAT 740 rock trucks (contractors may choose to use scrapers) to place approximately 87,500 cubic yards of topsoil/growth medium to a minimum depth of 6 inches over the 108.5 acres. Finally grading will use the John Deere tractor and drag to final grade about 87,500 cubic yards of topsoil/growth medium over the 108.5 acres.

Environmental Noise Control 1. Introduction The following report provides a noise modeling assessment of the proposed Lazy Two Gravel Pit to be operated by Connell Resources in relation to the Colorado Revised Statute (CRS) 25-12-103 noise regulations. The noise modeling includes currently proposed mechanical equipment per transmittals from Blue Earth Solutions and Connell Resources. The Lazy Two Gravel Pit (40°50'44.62"N, 104°51'46.87"W) parcel is located adjacent to the intersection of Weld County Road 118 and Weld County Road 21 approximately 3.2 miles southeast of Carr, Colorado. The site is bordered by agricultural land on all sides. Figure 1-1 identifies the proposed site location. To assess the predicted noise levels of the proposed operations, manufacturer sound level data of proposed equipment was used as well as sound level data collected by Behrens and Associates during an equipment survey of the existing Carr Gravel Pit where identical equipment is currently in operation. The equipment sound level data was used to construct a noise model using SoundPLAN 8.0 software. The following is provided in this report: • A brief introduction of the fundamentals of noise. • A review of the applicable Weld County noise standards. • Presentation of ambient sound level survey results. • Discussion of noise modeling methodology and results. Figure 1-1 Proposed Site Location I.;rn VIA() Gras el Pit Introduction 1 Behrens and Associates, Inc. Environmental Noise Control 2. Noise Fundamentals N _ Sound is most commonly experienced by people as pressure waves passing through air. These rapid fluctuations in air pressure are processed by the human auditory system to produce the sensation of sound. The rate at which sound pressure changes occur is called the frequency. Frequency is usually measured as the number of oscillations per second or Hertz (Hz). Frequencies that can be heard by a healthy human ear range from approximately 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Toward the lower end of this range are low-pitched sounds, including those that might be described as a "rumble" or "boom". At the higher end of the range are high-pitched sounds that might be described as a "screech" or "hiss". Environmental noise generally derives, in part, from a combination of distant noise sources. Such sources may include common experiences such as distant traffic, wind in trees, and distant industrial or farming activities. These distant sources create a low-level "background noise" in which no particular individual source is identifiable. Background noise is often relatively constant from moment to moment but varies slowly from hour to hour as natural forces change or as human activity follows its daily cycle. Superimposed on this low-level, slowly varying background noise is a succession of identifiable noisy events of relatively brief duration. These events may include the passing of single -vehicles, aircraft flyovers, screeching of brakes, and other short-term events. The presence of these short-term events causes the noise level to fluctuate. Typical indoor and outdoor A -weighted sound levels are shown in Figure 2-1. Detailed acoustical definitions have been provided in Appendix A — Glossary of Acoustical Terms. COMMON OUTDOOR SOUND LEVELS B-747-200 Takeoff at 2 mi. Gas Lawn Mower at 3 ft. Diesel Truck at 150 ft.

Project Noise Limits N _ The modeling analysis was developed to predict operational noise levels at adjacent properties and assess compliance of the proposed operations with the applicable noise standards of Chapter 14, Article IX of The Home Rule Charter For The County of Weld, Colorado per the pending Use By Special Review (USR) permit application. At the time of this analysis, The Department of Public Health and Environment for Weld County has not yet provided the developmental standards or prescribed noise level standards for this land use application and therefore the results of this analysis will not be referenced against the code until such a time that the noise level standards have been prescribed for this application. Project Noise Limits 3 Behrens and Associates, Inc. Environmental Noise Control 4. Lazy Two Gravel Pit Noise Modeling v\I N _ 4.1 Noise Modeling Methodology The noise modeling was completed with use of three-dimensional computer noise modeling software. All models in this report were developed with SoundPLAN 8.0 software using the ISO 9613-2 standard. Noise levels are predicted based on the locations, noise levels and frequency spectra of the noise sources, and the geometry and reflective properties of the local terrain, buildings and barriers. SoundPLAN 8.0 software simulates light downwind conditions in all directions to ensure conservative assessments. The predicted noise levels represent only the contribution of the proposed gravel pit operations and do not include ambient noise or noise from other facilities. Actual field sound level measurements may vary from the modeled noise levels due to other noise sources such as traffic, other facilities, other human activity, or environmental factors. The equipment sound level data used in the Lazy Two Gravel Pit plant modeling was sourced from equipment manufacturer data per as well as an onsite survey of the operational Carr Gravel Pit operated by Connell Resources. The equipment surveyed at the Can- Gravel Pit is identical to the proposed operations for the Lazy Two Gravel Pit. The modeling results predicted are dependent on equipment orientation as indicated per current (Rev. Date 12/18) project documentation and is exclusive to the equipment listed in Table 4-1. Figure 4-1 shows the Lazy Two Gravel Pit pre -mining plot plan and equipment layout utilized in the study.

The requirements indicate that sound levels of noise radiating from a property line at a distance of twenty- five feet or more therefrom in excess of the dB(A) established for the following time periods and zones shall constitute prima facie evidence that such noise is a public nuisance. As such, receptor locations were chosen at 25 ft. from the surrounding property lines of the Lazy Two Gravel Pit to represent potential regulatory measurement points should a complaint be made. Figure 4-2 shows the dBA noise sensitive receptor locations. Lazy Two Gravel Pit Noise Modeling 5 Behrens and Associates, Inc.

The proposed equipment of the Lazy Two pit will be identical to the equipment currently in operation at Connell's Carr, CO gravel pit and a sound level survey of that equipment was used as a basis for this study. Equipment placement and overburden piles were placed per currently approved project documents. Noise sensitive receptor locations included in the models were placed in compliance with the applicable CRS 25-12-103 noise standards. At the time of this analysis, The Department of Public Health and Environment for Weld County has not yet provided the developmental standards or prescribed noise level standards for this land use application and therefore the results of this analysis will not be referenced against the code until such a time that the noise level standards have been prescribed for this application. No additional acoustical mitigation measures are recommended at this time. Conclusion 10 Behrens and Associates, Inc. Environmental Noise Control I N _ Appendix A - Glossary of Acoustical Terms Glossary of Acoustical Terms 11 Behrens and Associates, Inc. Environmental Noise Control Ambient Noise The all -encompassing noise associated with a given environment at a specified time, usually a composite of sound from many sources both near and far. Average Sound Level See Equivalent -Continuous Sound Level A -Weighted Decibel Scale The human ear is more sensitive to some sound frequencies than others. It is therefore common practice to apply a filter to measured sound levels to approximate the frequency sensitivity of the human ear. One such filter is called the A -weighted decibel scale which emphasizes sounds between 1,000 and 5,000 Hertz by discounting the frequencies outside of this range. As the human ear is less sensitive to low frequency noise, the A -weighted decibel scale begins to increasingly discount noise below 500 Hertz. Measurements conducted utilizing the A -weighted decibel scale are denoted with an "(A)" or "A" after the decibel abbreviation (dB(A) or dBA). The A -weighted scale is nearly universally used when assessing noise impact on humans. C -Weighted Decibel Scale High level low frequency noise can propagate large distances from its source. Although not always audible, high levels of low frequency noise can induce vibrations in objects or structures which could become evident in ways that might be annoying to humans (e.g., rattling of windows). The C -weighted decibel scale, which was developed to estimate human ear sensitivity to high noise levels, is a flatter filter that does not discount low frequency noise as much as the A -weighted decibel scale. As a result, a C -weighted decibel measurement could be significantly higher than an A -weighted decibel measurement if the noise being measured contains a heavy low frequency content. Measurements conducted utilizing the C -weighted decibel scale are denoted with an "(C)" or "C" after the decibel abbreviation (dB(C) or dBC). C -weighted noise level limits are sometimes included in noise regulations as a way to address low frequency environmental noise issues. Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) A 24 -hour A -weighted average sound level which takes into account the fact that a given level of noise may be more or less tolerable depending on when it occurs. The CNEL measure of noise exposure weights average hourly noise levels by 5 dB for the evening hours (between 7:00 pm and 10:00 pm), and 10 dB between 10:00 pm and 7:00 am, then combines the results with the daytime levels to produce the final CNEL value. It is measured in decibels, dbs. Day -Night Average Sound Level (Ldn) A measure of noise exposure level that is similar to CNEL except that there is no weighting applied to the evening hours of 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm. It is measured in decibels, dB. Daytime Average Sound Level The time -averaged A -weighted sound level measured between the hours of 7:00 am to 7:00 pm. It is measured in decibels, dB. Decay Rate The time taken for the sound pressure level at a given frequency to decrease in a room. It is measured in decibels per second, dB/s. Decibel (dB) Glossary of Acoustical Terms 12 Behrens and Associates, Inc. Environmental Noise Control The basic unit of measurement for sound level. I N _ Direct Sound Sound that reaches a given location in a direct line from the source without any reflections. Divergence The spreading of sound waves from a source in a free field, resulting in a reduction in sound pressure level with increasing distance from the source. Energy Basis This refers to the procedure of summing or averaging sound pressure levels on the basis of their squared pressures. This method involves the conversion of decibels to pressures, then performing the necessary arithmetic calculations, and finally changing the pressure back to decibels. Equivalent -Continuous Sound Level (Leq) The average sound level measured over a specified time period. It is a single -number measure of time -varying noise over a specified time period. It is the level of a steady sound that, in a stated time period and at a stated location, has the same A -Weighted sound energy as the time -varying sound. For example, a person who experiences an Leq of 60 dB(A) for a period of 10 minutes standing next to a busy street is exposed to the same amount of sound energy as if he had experienced a constant noise level of 60 dB(A) for 10 minutes rather than the time -varying traffic noise level. It is measured in decibels, dB. Fast Response A setting on the sound level meter that determines how sound levels are averaged over time. A fast sound level is always more strongly influenced by recent sounds, and less influenced by sounds occurring in the distant past, than the corresponding slow sound level. For the same non -steady sound, the maximum fast sound level is generally greater than the corresponding maximum slow sound level. Fast response is typically used to measure impact sound levels. Field Impact Insulation Class (FIIC) A single number rating similar to the impact insulation class except that the impact sound pressure levels are measured in the field. Field Sound Transmission Class (FSTC) A single number rating similar to sound transmission class except that the transmission loss values used to derive this class are measured in the field. Flanking Sound Transmission The transmission of sound from a room in which a source is located to an adjacent receiving room by paths other than through the common partition. Also, the diffraction of noise around the ends of a barrier. Frequency The number of oscillations per second of a sound wave Hourly Average Sound Level (HNL) The equivalent -continuous sound level, Leq, over a 1 -hour period. Impact Insulation Class (IIC) Glossary of Acoustical Terms 13 Behrens and Associates, Inc.

Insertion Loss The decrease in sound power level measured at the location of the receiver when an element (e.g., a noise barrier) is inserted in the transmission path between the sound source and the receiver. Inverse Square Law A rule by which the sound intensity varies inversely with the square of the distance from the source. This results in a 6dB decrease in sound pressure level for each doubling of distance from the source. Ln Percentile Sound Level The noise level exceeded for n% of the measurement period where n is between 0.01% and 99.99%. Usually includes a descriptor i.e. A -weighting. Common Ln values include LA 10, LA50, and LA90 levels. LAI0 0 would represent the A -weighted sound level that is exceeded for 10% of the measurement period. Masking The process by which the threshold of hearing for one sound is raised by the presence of another sound. Maximum Sound Level (Lmax) The greatest sound level measured on a sound level meter during a designated time interval or event. NC Curves (Noise Criterion Curves) A system for rating the noisiness of an occupied indoor space. An actual octave -band spectrum is compared with a set of standard NC curves to determine the NC level of the space. Noise Isolation Class (NIC) A single number rating derived from the measured values of noise reduction between two enclosed spaces that are connected by one or more partitions. Unlike STC or NNIC, this rating is not adjusted or normalized to a measured or standard reverberation time. Noise Reduction The difference in sound pressure level between any two points. Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) A single number rating of the sound absorption properties of a material. It is the average of the sound absorption coefficients at 250, 500, 1000, and 2000 Hz, rounded to the nearest multiple of 0.05. Normalized Noise Isolation Class (NNIC) Glossary of Acoustical Terms 14 Behrens and Associates, Inc. Environmental Noise Control A single number rating similar to the noise isolation class except that the measured noise reduction values are normalized to a reverberation time of 0.5 seconds. Octave The frequency interval between two sounds whose frequency ratio is 2. For example, the frequency interval between 500 Hz and 1,000 Hz is one octave. Octave -Band Sound Level For an octave frequency band, the sound pressure level of the sound contained within that band. One -Third Octave The frequency interval between two sounds whose frequency ratio is 2^(1/3). For example, the frequency interval between 200 Hz and 250 Hz is one-third octave. One -Third -Octave -Band Sound Level For a one -third -octave frequency band, the sound pressure level of the sound contained within that band. Outdoor -Indoor Transmission Class (OITC) A single number rating used to compare the sound insulation properties of building fa�ade elements. This rating is designed to correlate with subjective impressions of the ability of fa�ade elements to reduce the overall loudness of ground and air transportation noise. Peak Sound Level (Lpk) The maximum instantaneous sound level during a stated time period or event. Pink Noise Noise that has approximately equal intensities at each octave or one -third -octave band. Point Source A source that radiates sound as if from a single point. RC Curves (Room Criterion Curves) A system for rating the noisiness of an occupied indoor space. An actual octave -band spectrum is compared with a set of standard RC curves to determine the RC level of the space. Real -Time Analyzer (RTA) An instrument for the determination of a sound spectrum. Receiver A person (or persons) or equipment which is affected by noise. Reflected Sound Sound that persists in an enclosed space as a result of repeated reflections or scattering. It does not include sound that travels directly from the source without reflections. Reverberation Glossary of Acoustical Terms 15 Behrens and Associates, Inc.

Room Absorption The total absorption within a room due to all objects, surfaces and air absorption within the room. It is measured in Sabins or metric Sabins. Slow Response A setting on the sound level meter that determines how measured sound levels are averaged over time. A slow sound level is more influenced by sounds occurring in the distant past that the corresponding fast sound level. Sound A physical disturbance in a medium (e.g.. air) that is capable of being detected by the human ear. Sound Absorption Coefficient A measure of the sound -absorptive property of a material. Sound Insulation The capacity of a structure or element to prevent sound from reaching a receiver room either by absorption or reflection. Sound Level Meter (SLM) An instrument used for the measurement of sound level, with a standard frequency -weighting and standard exponentially weighted time averaging. Sound Power Level A physical measure of the amount of power a sound source radiates into the surrounding air. It is measured in decibels.

Lazy Two Pit, Case# PRE 18-030 Dear Ms. Light: The attached noise study and following discussion is provided on behalf of our client, Connell Resources, Inc., in response to Kim Ogle's e-mail of October 14, 2019 and the Weld County Environmental Health Department application completeness review questions. 1. Noise will be generated within he Lazy Two Pit mine from mobile excavation and hauling equipment and aggregate processing, concrete, and asphalt facilities. Noise levels at the permit boundary will be minimized by locating noise producing facilities as far as possible from permit boundaries and adjacent residences. Additionally, normal mining and processing operations provide screening of the facilities from overburden berms and product stockpiles. The berms and stockpiles will break-up direct line -of -sight from the facilities to adjacent residences and public roadways, reducing associated noise levels at the permit boundary. The Lazy Two Pit shall adhere to the maximum permissible noise levels allowed in the Industrial Zone District, as delineated in CRS 25-12-103 and Section 14-9-30 of the Weld County Code. 2. Portable toilets used on -site will be located near the scale house location. Toilets will be secured in place and screened from residences and roadways by the scale house, material berms, and/or privacy fencing. 3. Minimal amounts of bulk fuel and miscellaneous equipment maintenance fluids and oils will be stored on -site. When possible, fuels, oils, and other hazardous materials will be brought to the site as -needed with mobile maintenance vehicles. If stored on -site, bulk liquid hazardous materials will be stored in double -walled tanks within lined and bermed secondary containment. Safety equipment and materials to immediately clean up, store, and dispose of any potentially spilled hazardous materials will also be kept on -site.

Connell Resources, Inc., in response to Kim Ogle's e-mail of October 18, 2019 and the Weld County Department of Public Works application completeness review questions. Lazy Two Pit Drainage Narrative The Lazy Two Pit will operate as a Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety permitted sand and gravel mine. A Colorado Discharge Permitting System (CDPS) Permit for Discharges from Sand and Gravel Mining and Processing will also be obtained for potential stormwater discharges from the operation. During mining, storm water runoff from disturbed areas will be contained within the mine pit and be allowed to infiltrate into the substrate at the downgradient end of the site. Therefore, we believe that an exception to stormwater detention as per Weld County Code Section 23-12-30 Item 6, Gravel Pits if the Stormwater Drains into the Gravel Pit, is appropriate. The Lazy Two Pit property is located in a shallow, relatively flat and broad valley landform that generally slopes north to south. According to United States Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5 -Minute Series maps (Carr SW and Dover quadrangles) an ephemeral drainage bisects the proposed site from north to south, but no defined bed, bank, or channel exists on the property. Higher elevations with small local watersheds north, east, and west of the property direct stormwater onto the permit area where it flows from north to south across the property. However, because of the property's relatively flat landform (approximately 0.5 percent grade north to south), only significant stormwater events create surface runoff. Although all surface runoff flows off the permit area to the south, no defined drainageway is distinguishable south of the property. The principle drainage systems in the area are Lone Tree Creek approximately 1-2 miles east of the site and the Spring Creek drainage system about 1.5 miles to the west. The ephemeral drainage illustrated on the USGS maps within the permit boundary does not connect to either primary drainage system and dissipates just south of the property. Neither the Lone Tree Creek or Spring Creek drainage have associated regulatory floodplains near the proposed permit area. No significant drainage or erosion problems are known to have previously existed or currently exist on the property. Runoff from the site will be controlled with best management practices to Blue Earth Solutions, LLC ♦ P.O. Box 2427 • Fort Collins, CO 80522 • (970) 227-2803 Mr. Mike McRoberts, P.E. RE: Lazy Two Pit USR Application October 21, 2019 limit erosion and sediment transport and allowed to infiltrate within the mine pit or directed to historic drainage areas. Much of the pit, after mining, will contain a pit floor that gently drains to the south. The pit floor will be backfilled and graded to connect drainage with historic drainage pathways. Shallower slopes created during reclamation will aid in establishing vegetation growth and minimize erosion.
