I am writing to request that the Board of County Commissioners approve the application to amend the existing USR for the Derr Pit. The Applicant has been issued a USR permit for an area known as the Derr Pit. The Den Pit is currently mined subject to DRMS Permit No. M-2008-017 ("Mining Permit"). In February 2018, Applicant submitted an application to DRMS to amend the Mining Permit. That application was approved by DRMS on June 27, 2018. See Exhibit 1 attached hereto ("Mining Permit Amendment Approval"). The primary objective of the Mining Permit amendment was to bring 105.8 acres directly North of the existing Derr Pit within the terms of the Mining Permit. This area is referred to as the "Amended Area." All other conditions of the original Mining Permit "remain in full force and effect." The Derr Pit is still actively being mined. The Amended Area will also be mined in the future as part of a subsequent phase of mining at the combined pits. Yet, the Mining Permit Amendment Approval makes clear that at this time mining activities on the Amended Area include only "dry mining (no groundwater exposed)." In fact, the immediate need of the Applicant for requesting 2MJUSR19-08-1660 Page 2 of 8 the Mining Permit amendment and'1 seeking this USR amendment is to access the Amended Area and collect materials (above the groundwater level) that will be used in the construction of a slurry wall liner around the original Derr Pit As discussed below, installation of the slurry wall liner will restore the groundwater levels to within a foot or two of its pre -mining conditions In some areas up -gradient of the slurry wall liner, the groundwater levels will actually increase slightly over their pre -mining levels I. The State Engineer Has Found No Injury in Issuance of the Well Permit and Approving a Substitute Water Supply Plan for the Derr Pit. As you are well aware, exposing groundwater in connection with the extraction of sand and gravel requires a well permit from the Colorado State Engineers Office ("SEO") C R S § 37-90- 137(11)(a)(1) The SEO issues a permit "only if it finds, as substantiated by hydrological and geological facts, that there is unappropriated water available for withdrawal and the vested water rights of others will not be materially injured " C R S § 37-90-137(2)(b)(I)(A) The SEO also requires enhanced procedures prior to issuing permits for new wells that will be located within 600 feet of existing groundwater wells C R S § 37-90-137(2)(b)(I)(B) In this instance, there are four permitted wells located within 600 feet of the Derr Pit owned by the following parties Mr Robert (Rocky) Francis, Ms Diana Taylor, Kerr-McGee Oil and Gas, and Monago Operating, Inc Each received notice of Applicant's well permit application with the SEO See Exhibit 2 attached hereto Mr Francis submitted an objection letter to the SEO m response to the notice, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibits 3 Mr Francis ultimately stipulated with Applicants in the SEO well permit application because he conceded he "does not have sufficient information to determine if the Francis Well will be injured by the issuance of the Derr Permit " See Stipulation attached hereto as Exhibit 4 Ms Taylor also provided a written objection to the SEO on the matter of the well permit See Exhibit 5, attached hereto She withdrew her objection See Exhibit 6 attached hereto Ultimately, Ms Taylor entered into an agreement with Applicant regarding this USR amendment, including issues related to her groundwater well See Exhibit 7 I In addition to the "no injury" and 600 -ft well spacing standards, Colorado statute provides that sand and gravel pits may receive a well permit from the SEO only "upon approval by the water court of a plan for augmentation or upon approval by the state engineer of a plan of substitute supply " C R S § 37-90-137(11)(a)(I) A substitute water supply plan, or SWSP, is approved on an annual basis, and "may authorize uses of water incidental to open mining for sand and gravel, including processing and washing mined materials, dust suppression, mined land reclamation including temporary irrigation for revegetation, liner or slurry wall construction, production of concrete and other aggregate -based construction materials, dewatering, and mitigation of impacts from mining and dewatenng " Id Please see the attached letter approving Applicant's SWSP request for the period ending July 31, 2020, attached hereto as Exhibit 8 ("SWSP Approval") Please allow me to direct your attention to a few key items in the SWSP Approval Applicant has sent similar agreements to numerous well owners in in the vicinity of the Derr Pit, which will be discussed later in this letter 2MJUSR19-08-1660 Page 3 of 8 1. Dewatering water incidental in the mining operation at Derr Pit is replaced through recharge sites which are either located on the Derr Pit property or on property located to the south, which is also owned by Applicant. The purpose of delivering the dewatering water to recharge sites near the pit is to mimic, as closely as possible, the natural groundwater flow. The SWSP Approval on page 3 finds that: Because the recharge sites are located within the Derr Pit and are closer to the river than the mined area, the timing of dewatering depletions will approximately match the timing of dewatering accretions, with accretions returning to the stream slightly ahead of depletions. As long as the mine site is continuously dewatered, the water returned to the stream system should be adequate to offset the depletions attributable to dewatering operations. 2. There are other losses that are part of any wet mining operation, namely evaporation, water content in the mined material, and dust suppression. These losses are all addressed in the SWSP Approval, which finds that Applicant's lease with the Central Colorado Water Conservancy District is sufficient to prevent injury to other water rights. The SWSP properly notes the legal requirement for Applicants to demonstrate that long term stream depletions will be replaced. Operators accomplish this through a number of different mechanisms, usually including bonding which is held by DRMS until an augmentation plan is decreed by the water court. 3. Finally, the SWSP Approval is revocable or subject to additional restrictions "if at any time the State Engineer determines that injury to other vested water rights has occurred or will occur as a result of the operation of this SWSP." SWSP approval at p. 6. This last point is worthy of further discussion and is one of the key points I hope to stress in this letter — the issue of injury to water rights was addressed by the expert agency on these types of questions, which are by their very nature factually intensive inquiries. There is an ongoing obligation by Applicant to refrain from injuring other water rights and if injury is asserted, the SEO has the authority to amend the terms of the SWSP, or even revoke it, if the injury is not mitigated. The SEO procedures for obtaining a well permit and SWSP are extensive, and those procedures performed as intended in this matter. These procedures offer a backstop for addressing future claims of injury. Those procedures were followed in this case— notice was given to well owners within the statutorily defined 600 feet. A hearing was set on the issuance of the permit. That hearing was vacated because the objectors lacked evidence to demonstrate injury to their wells. The SEO has the expertise and the data to evaluate questions of injury in an objective, data - driven approach. The SEO has acted on this matter and found no injury. II. Additional Activities by Application to Address Water Matters I use the phrase "backstop" intentionally in the previous paragraph. The Applicant is not merely relying on its well permit and SWSP Approval. It has heard the concerns of the neighboring 2MJUSR 19-08-1660 Page 4 of 8 property owners and the concerns expressed by the County Commissioners. It has undertaken substantial efforts to mitigate the water concerns in the area in a proactive manner. Here is a summary of those efforts: 1. Groundwater study. The continuance of the hearing in September 2019 was requested by Applicant to commission a groundwater model ("Derr Pit Groundwater Study"). A copy of the Derr Pit Groundwater Study is attached hereto as Exhibit 9. At the outset, it is worth noting that this study is an extensive modeling effort of the scale we would expect to see in the water court context. The modeling software (MODFLOW), model domain, grid cell size, data inputs (conductivity, transmissivity, etc.), and approach (calibration, etc.) are all consistent with professional standards. The Derr Pit Groundwater Study is the most reliable and accurate predictor we have of how groundwater in the vicinity of Derr Pit will behave during dewatering and after installation of the slurry wall liner. It uses available data from over 133 groundwater wells in the vicinity of the Pit, and the calibration of the model shows that it can very accurately match observed conditions. The primary finding of the model is that once the slurry walls at the Derr Pit and the Amended Area are constructed, in conjunction with the previously completed Loloff Pit slurry wall, groundwater levels will rise approximately 3 feet on the up -gradient side of the pit (generally to the North of the Pits) and drop a maximum of 2.5 feet on the down - gradient side of the Pits (generally to the South of the Pits) as compared to the pre -mining conditions. See Table 3 of the Derr Pit Groundwater Study. The Derr Pit Groundwater Study demonstrates that there is a general pattern of lowering the groundwater table during dewatering, from just over a half a foot to 9.7 feet. See again Table 3. It is important to note that reductions in the water table of less than 10 feet will generally not reduce the yield of these wells. Yield reductions can often be mitigated by replacing and resetting the pump, which Applicant has completed for some of the neighbors and offered to others (more on this below). The Study also shows that installation of the slurry wall liners at both the Derr Pit and around the Amended area will cause the groundwater levels to generally recover quickly. Applicant's experience in the area with the Loloff Pit shows that following installation of the slurry wall liner around that pit, groundwater levels in the area recovered to within a few +/- feet of their pre -mining level. Again, the Study is the best data and predictor we have in the vicinity. Its conclusions clearly establish that installation of the slurry wall liner around the Derr Pit and eventually the Amended Area will largely cause the aquifer to recover to pre -mining conditions and prevent injury to neighboring wells. 2. Ongoing Outreach. Applicant heard your concerns at the Commission Hearing last fall and has diligently sought opportunities to work with the neighboring property owners. Attached hereto find letters which were sent via certified mail to Mr. David Bliss; Mr. 2MJUSRI9-08-1660 Page 5 of 8 Rocky Francis; Mr. Jerry Winters and Ms. Dixie Ann Hofner; Mr. James Koehler; Mr. Brian Murata; Ms. Sylvia Parker; and certified receipts for such letters. See Exhibits 10a-lOg attached hereto. These letters are in addition to prior communications and written correspondence with the neighboring property owners. Through these efforts, Applicant has secured signed agreements with Ms. Taylor (see Exhibit 7) and Ms. Parker. See Exhibit 11 attached hereto. Subsequent letters were sent out to those landowners who have not signed an agreement with a draft agreement similar to those entered into with Ms. Taylor and Ms. Parker. There are common threads in both the executed agreements and the proposed agreements which have not yet been signed. Applicant is agreeing to continue to perform monthly monitoring of the landowners subjects wells, and if the data shows that the water level drops to a level where the well is no longer performing at its historical level, then Applicant will conduct all repairs at its expense to allow it to resume continued production, as well as pay the neighbor's water bill (from either Greeley or North Weld) while the well is out of service. For instance, please see the attached letter and proposed agreement sent to Mr. Winters and Ms. Hoffner on March 6, 2020 (Exhibits 12a and 12b). Included with this letter in particular are the results of two well meter certification tests done in 2015 and 2019, which show that for the two irrigation wells located on the Winters-Hoffner property these wells had slightly greater flows in 2019 (following installation of the slurry liner at Loloff Pit) than they did in 2015. See Exhibits 12c -12f for results of the well meter certification tesst. Again, the Applicant offered to continue to monitor the water levels in these wells and investigate any reduction by 50 g.p.m., and if the reduction in pumping was determined to be related to dewatering, then Applicant is agreeing to repair the issue and obtain CBT water for Mr. Winters and Ms. Hoffner. The terms in the preceding paragraph are a baseine of those being offered by Applicant. For instance, for the Koehler Irrigation Well, Applicant has received a quote from Quality Well and Pump to make upgrades and repairs to said well and to conduct a pump test on the same. Following repairs, if monthly monitoring data shows that that the metered flow in the Koehler irrigation well drops by 50 g.p.m., then Applicant has offered to retain Quality Well to make repairs as well as provide replacement water (CBT) for use by Koehler. See March 16, 2020 letter to Mr. Koehler and proposed agreement of the same date, attached hereto as Exhibits 13a and 13b. See also Exhibit 13c, which is a quote from Quality Well to perform certain repairs of Mr. Koehler's irrigation well and pump. Mr. Koehler has not responded.2 2 Koehler arranged for Quality Well and Pump to pump test the well and Dennis McGrane, of McGrane Water Engineering, LLC, provided assistance on April 27th to determine the existing pump capacity and recommend improvements. The recommendation for pump replacement and other ancillary equipment were provided to Quality Well and Pump to update their quote on April 29th. They are working on it but it has not been provided yet. Applicant informed Mr. Bickling of the current status on Monday May 4th and indicated it would update the agreement to reflect this once we have the information. 2MJUSR 19-08-1660 Page 6 of 8 With respect to Mr. Francis, Applicant has offered to redrill, at its sole cost, two domestic wells and rehabilitate Mr. Francis' irrigation well. See Exhibits 14a and 14b attached hereto. I note that the offer to redrill the two municipal wells was made even though Mr. Francis apparently no longer uses these wells and has since connected the properties to taps from North Weld and Greeley. Mr. Francis has not responded to Applicant's offer. Applicant notes that a similar offer has been made in the past to Mr. Francis in response to complaints made by Mr. Francis to the DRMS in 2018. At that time, Applicant hired John's well service to repair and redrill several of Mr. Francis' wells. Mr. Francis refused access to his property to complete the investigation and the repairs. See Exhibits 14c and 14d which confirm Mr. Francis' "lack of cooperation" as stated by DRMS. Even in the absence of signed agreements, Applicant has demonstrated a willingness to work with the neighboring property owners to address their concerns. In the case of Mr. Murata, Applicant hired Quality Well to set the pump in his well lower to allow for better capacity. This occurred on January 10, 2020. See the attached Exhibit 15a and 15b. Ms. Taylor's domestic pump was replaced and similarly lowered to 40 feet at Applicant's expense. See Exhibit 15c. Through these efforts, Applicant has (1) developed reliable data about groundwater in the vicinity of the Den Pitt and (2) made genuine attempts to work with the neighbors on their well issues. Those efforts should serve as a basis for approving the USR amendment application. While the County obviously cannot dictate that its residents enter into any agreement, it certainly has the authority to approve the USR amendment application and include as a term of the permit approval similar terms and conditions as those presented in the agreements to neighbors. Through the terms and conditions, Applicant is expressing its intent and desire to work with the neighbors on their water concerns and they have proposed a method for addressing those concerns as they arise. The bedrock of the approach is built on continuing to gather data from the wells as to the water level. If there is an observed drop in the water level that prevents pumping at historical rates, then Applicant is offering to: (1) Investigate the issue and determine the cause (it can be due to a cause unrelated to the mining operation such as a pump failure or well collapse); and (2) If the issue is attributed to dewatering or other activities at the Derr Pit, then Applicant will repair the issue at its sole cost and expense, and cover the expense of either plumbing the municipal tap to be used for all domestic purposes (as well as paying the municipal water fee), or in the case of irrigation wells securing rental CBT water to be used during the time the well is out of service. I am certain these efforts will be diligently undertaken by Applicant in good faith. They have no intent of harming neighboring property water rights. They are committed to being good neighbors and willing to resolve issues related to water rights if and when they arise. It will take some trust and relationship building that I am confident will develop as the Applicant continues to make good on its offers to timely address any water matters. With these protections in place, I 2MJUSR19-08-1660 Page 7 of 8 see no reason to deny the USR permit application on matters related to potential injury to neighboring water rights. And it is important to remember that even absent these personal offers to the neighboring property owners, the SEO and DRMS stand as the backstop to assist in settling any water related dispute. It is Applicant's intent and sincere hope that it never reaches that point, but it worth noting that these additional protections are in place. III.A Note on the Loloff Pit A review of the public comments submitted in this matter to date reveals a mistaken impression by some that the Amended Area and Derr Pit are under the same mining permit as Loloff Pit. That is not the case. Loloff Pit is subject to a separate mining permit (No. M-1985-112) and was recently (2017) outfitted with a slurry wall liner. The Loloff Pit is not the subject of this USR amendment application, though the experiences with that Pit are helpful to demonstrate that installation of the slurry wall liner around that Pit has had beneficial impacts to the surrounding aquifer. Mr. Bickling filed a complaint with DRMS last fall on matters related to the Koehler wells. After conducting an investigation, the DRMS determined that the "Koehler owned groundwater wells have returned to the historic groundwater elevation following the completion of the Loloff Mine slurry wall in 2017." See Exhibit 16 attached hereto. In dismissing the complaint, the DRMS again recognizes the "mitigation measures related to potential impacts from the dewatering of the Derr Pit." While it is Applicant's sincere hope that these types of concerns will be addressed directly in the future, this process shows that there are ongoing data -driven enforcement mechanisms to protect neighboring water rights. IV. Conclusion Thank you for the opportunity to provide these comments in support of Applicant's USR amendment application. Applicant has heard the concerns of the Commissioners and the neighbors around Derr Pit and the Amended Area. Some of the words I heard from the Commissioners at the hearing last September included "mitigation" "data" "proactive" and "communication." The steps taken by Applicant have demonstrated a commitment to these principles. Applicant has undertaken an extensive groundwater modeling effort that confirms that aquifer levels will rebound with the installation of the slurry wall around the Derr Pit, just as the same occurred with the installation of the slurry liner around the Loloff Pit. Applicant has diligently sought agreements with the neighbors to address concerns related to groundwater matters. The terms of those agreements are protective of the neighboring water rights. And while our sincere hope is that the neighboring property owners will seek to resolve any issues directly with the Applicant (contact information for Mr. Hodge, including his personal cell phone are included in all the draft agreements), the DRMS and SEO have continuing jurisdiction to resolve any water related matters. I again request that Applicant's USR amendment application be approved. 2MJUSR 19-08-1660 Page 8 of 8 Sincerely, LAWRENCE JONES CUSTER GRASMICK, LLP Por*- Donovn DN: cn=Ryan M.

Broken Arrow is concurrently applying for a substitute water supply plan as part of this submittal. Enclosed is a check in the amount of $100.00 made payable to the Division of Water Resources for the well permit fee. WWC performed a site visit on April 9, 2018 and identified two wells used for domestic purposes within 600 feet of the gravel pit operation. These wells and properties are owned by Robert Francis (previously owned by Karl & Renate Kohloff) (permit no. 223887) and James & Diana Taylor (permit no. 223885-A). In addition, there are monitoring wells and wells owned by Derr/Broken Arrow located within 600 feet of operations. The required 600 foot spacing waivers were not acquired from Francis or the Taylors. It is our understanding that the State Engineer's staff will send notice of the well permit application to these well owners, and depending upon whether the State receives responses, there may be a hearing process. The mailing addresses are as follows: Robert Francis 351 East 8'1' Street Greeley, CO 80631-9559 Diana Taylor 665 Balsam Avenue Greeley, CO 80631-9714 If you have any questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to call.

Principal Williams and Weiss Consulting WWC Water Resource Engineering OFFICE OF THE STATE ENGINEER, STATE OF COLORADO NOTICE OF A GRAVEL PIT WELL PERMIT APPLICATION IN THE MATTER OF AN APPLICATION FOR A GRAVEL PIT WELL PERMIT LOCATED LESS THAN 600 FEET FROM EXISTING WELLS APPLICANT: BROKEN ARROW INVESTMENTS LLC APPLICATION RECEIPT NO. 3686683 To: 1) ROBERT D. FRANCIS 2) DIANA TAYLOR 3) KERR-MCGEE OIL AND GAS ONSHORE LP 4) MONAGO OPERATING INC On June 6, 2018, Broken Arrow Investments LLC submitted an application (receipt no. 3686683) for a new well permit for an existing gravel pit known as the Derr Pit, DRMS Permit No. M-2008-0017. The subject welt (gravel pit pond) is located in the NE 1/a of Section 4, Township 5 North, Range 65 West of the 6th P.M. in Weld County, Colorado. Information available to this office has shown that this well (gravel pit pond) may be located less than 600 feet from existing welts. Pursuant to S 37-90-137(2), C.R.S., the requested permit cannot be issued by the State Engineer unless the State Engineer finds, after a hearing, that circumstances in this particular instance so warrant. That statute also provides that if the State Engineer notifies the owners of all wells within 600 feet of the well (gravel pit pond) by certified mail and receives no response within the time set forth in the notice, no hearing shall be required. The parties listed above have been identified as the owners of an existing well or wells located within 600 feet of the subject well (gravel pit pond). Notice of the application for the subject welt (gravel pit pond) is hereby provided pursuant to Section 37-90-137(2)(b), C.R.S., and a copy of the permit application is attached as Exhibit A. Anyone objecting to the issuance of a new permit for the subject well (gravel pit pond) must submit a written response to this notice not later than 5:00 p.m. on August 23`d, 2018. Such response should contain a brief and plain statement of the reasons why the State Engineer should not grant a new permit for the subject well (gravel pit pond). if responding, please direct correspondence to Sarah Brucker and reference the above receipt number. A copy of the response should be provided to the applicant (Broken Arrow Investments LLC). The Division of Water Resources is sending this notice because it is required by state statute. The Division of Water Resources is not sending this notice due to a perceived potential for injury or effect on your well(s) that would result from the issuance of the proposed well permit. If you object to the issuance of a permit in this application, you must formally participate in a hearing before the Hearing Officer for the State Engineer.

Attention: Sarah Brucker Madam Brucker: bc Scanned y In Reference to the above Application for more of what I have experienced, NOW Twenty years gone on, past, I say NOT only deny but justifiably, NO WAY I WOULD VOTE TO HAVE THESE PEOPLE CONTINUE THEIR ACTIVITIES AS PROFESSED, PROFESSIONAL MINERS OF MINERALS OF ANY KIND. These people, "BROKEN ARROW INVESTMENTS", Go by many other names, i.e. GLOBAL INVESTMENTS", and who knows what they name they have used in the past. This OUTFIT HAS NOT SATISIFIED THE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, of the last mining operation known as the "MILL IRON MINING PIT, AKA LOLOFF PIT DRMS FILE NO.

Madam Brucker, My properties at 351 East 8th Street and 701 Balsam Avenue Property are within 600 feet of my property boundries of the New Applicant. Both properties combined have FIVE (5) FAILED WELLS which are registered by the State Engineers Office and have Augmentation Plans in place. ALL of these well structures have not been properly addressed by the current operations manager or owner(s). Subsequently, this problem has been ignored, and falls upon DEAF EARS (I) by Officials to cure and make whole this matter. I have Adjudicated Water Wells that are Useless and this problem is a STATE OF COLORADO Sponsored Problem as well. I would Welcome a new Venue in order to remedy this situation, before moving on to Another Debacle. Madam, again I am of dissenting opinion in the matter of approval regarding the above referenced Applicants. In my assessment, based on past observed operations at Mill Iron Pit, they are in capable of operating in a professional capacity, so sorry, but my vote is NO, along with the votes and opinions of my neighbors, (one being a retired pit operator himself), NAY is the popular vote among us all.

We have lived next to the operating of the proposed Lake for Greeley's consumption for at least 10 years. We complained frequently about the dust, trucks and noise that truly Inhibit our lives. I myself now have Asthma to which ALL the dust has contributed immensely. Our continued complaints, both in writing, letters and phone calls have had no influence. Even with their half executed attempts to help control the dust, it has been a most debilitating ten years. I imagine you will issue the New Permit for the subject well (gravel pit pond) making this Complaint null and void too. You, I assume, want this pit for the dirt to pave the roads of the ever increasing Oil and Gas Industry, plus the added convenience of having access to the water at your constituents disposal. I considered mayhap of getting in -touch with Channel 7 regarding my entreaty, but being in Weld County they might be less disposed to publicize my Complaint and/or, hiring an informed attorney myself and my neighbors and still our chances are less valued than the "Money Grubbers". Our son, now a presiding Judge w/the District Court of Weld County wrote a letter regarding the Loloff Gravel Pit (which has changed names several times) registering Mr. Jim Taylor's complaint about the loss of our well, Permit #223885. The date of that letter was August 10,20091 Someone came and drilled our well to the depth of 40' which was suppose to be 60'- but even that wouldn't have helped as they are now digging to 80' (eighty!).

Dated this day of �9 DERR PIT EXPANSION -NEIGHBORING LANDOWNER AGREEMENT THIS AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made this r. day of M� 2020 by and between Broken Arrow Investments. Ilk ("BAI"), whose address is 801 8t Street, Suite 130, Greeley, Colorado 80631; Loloff Construction. Inc. ("Lolof'), whose address is 801 8th Street, Suite 130, Greeley, Colorado 80631: Global Asset Recovery. LTC ("GAR"), whose address is 6530 Constitution Dr., Fort Wayne, Indiana 46804; and Diana Taylor whose address is 665 Balsam Avenue, Greeley, Colorado 80631 ("Taylor") (collectively, the "Parties"). RECITALS . GAR owns the Derr Sand and Gravel Pit ("Derr Pit") located at 590 North Balsam Avenue in Weld County, Colorado. BAI operates the Derr Pit as an active sand and gravel mine under Permit No. DRMS M-2008-017, issued by the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety ("DRMS"). Loloff owns and operates the Loloff Sand and Gravel Pit ("Loloff Pit-) located directly across North Balsam Avenue from the Derr Pit. Loloff operates the Loloff Pit as an active sand and gravel mine under Permit No. DRMS M-1985- 112. GAR, BAI, and Loloff, hereinafter collectively referred to as the "'Companies,"" have common. though not identical, interest in the matters addressed by this Agreement. DRMS amended Permit No. DRMS M-2008-017 for the Derr Pit on June 27, 2018 (Revision No. AM01) to allow BAI to expand mining into an area north and west of the existing Derr Pit boundary, as shown in Exhibit A ("Amendment Area"). 4. In addition to the amended State DRMS permit, BAI also requires Weld County approval to expand operations into the Amendment Area. As part of this approval, Weld County granted a zoning change on September 11, 2019 for the Amendment Area, which BAI recorded on December 4, 2019. BAI is in the process of amending the Weld County Use by Special Review ("USR") Permit, 2MJUSRI9-08-1660. as the final authorization necessary to begin mining the Amendment Area. Taylor owns Parcel No. 096104 301009 at 665 Balsam Avenue ("Property"), which lies south and west of the Amendment Area. North Weld County Water District provides potable water service to the Property. 6. Taylor has opposed BAI's efforts to amend the USR Permit, 2MJUSR19-08-1660, in oral testimony before the Weld County Board of County Commissioners and in letters submitted to Weld County and entered into the record for the USR permit amendment proceedings. 7. Taylor's opposition to the USR Permit amendment is primarily, though not exclusively. based on its belief' that existing mining operations at the Loloff and Derr Pits have negatively impacted a water well on the Property ("Taylor well"), and that additional mining in the Amendment Area will exacerbate such impacts. 8. The Parties disagree as to whether and to what extent existing mining operations have impacted the well, and whether and to what extent mining in the Amendment Area will impact the well. 9. To address Taylor's concerns. BAI has: researched the Taylor well to identify potential impacts from past Loloff and Derr mining operations and hired a groundwater engineer to study the impacts from current and planned mining operations. BAI has shared the results of the research and study with Taylor. BAI also hired Quality Well and Pump to provide a new pump and set the pump at a lower depth of 40 feet in the well to provide better capacity and reliability as the existing pump was set at 23 feet of depth. 10. The Parties wish to resolve all outstanding issues through this Agreement. THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and obligations stated herein, and the mutual benefits to be derived therefrom. the Parties agree as follows: COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS Purpose of Agreement The purpose of this Agreement is to address Taylor's concerns related to BAI's and Loloff s existing and planned mining operations, have Taylor withdraw its opposition to BAI's efforts to amend the USR Permit, 2M,IUSRI9-08-1660, and fully resolve all issues and obligations between Taylor and the Companies related to operations at the Derr and Loloff Pits. This Agreement is further intended to facilitate RAF s efforts to obtain final authorization from Weld County to expand its mining operations into the Amendment Area. I1. Identification of Concerns Taylor identifies the following concerns as the basis for its objection to the Derr Pit expansion: A. Noise Taylor has concerns about noise that will be generated by operations. B. Dust Taylor has concerns about dust that will he generated by operations. C. Traffic 2 Taylor has concerns about increased traffic generated by operations in the Amendment Area and the travel routes of the mine -related vehicles. D. Water Well Taylor has one well on Parcel No. 096104301009 (domestic) that Taylor believes will be impacted by the operations. E. Trees Taylor believes trees on Parcel No. 096104301009 were impacted by the Loloff Pit mining and requested replacement of 15 trees. Some or all of the foregoing concerns also relate to existing operations at the Derr and Loloff Pits. 111. Obligations of the Parties To fully and completely address Taylor's concerns regarding BAI's and Lolofis past and planned mining operations: to allow Taylor to withdraw its objections to BAI's efforts to amend the USR Permit 2MJUSRI9-08-1660: and to facilitate BAI's expansion of operations into the Amendment Area, the Parties agree as follows: A.

Water Division 1, Water District 3, Weld County Approval Period: August 1, 2019 through July 31, 2020 Contact information for Mr. Weiss: 970-221-5159; pswwater@msn.com Dear Mr. Weiss: We have reviewed your letters dated June 1, 2019 and October 10, 2019 requesting approval of a substitute water supply plan ("SWSP") on behalf of Broken Arrow Investments, LLC ("Broken Arrow" or "Applicant") in accordance with Section 37-90-137(11), C.R.S., to cover depletions caused by an existing gravel pit operation known as the Derr Pit (M-2008-017). A SWSP for this site was originally approved on November 12, 2010 and was most recently renewed in a letter dated August 1, 2018 to cover operations through July 31, 2019. The required renewal fee of $257 has been received (receipt no. 3692242). SWSP Operations The Derr Pit (WDID 0303035, well permit no. 82868-F) is a gravel pit operation located in the NEIA of Section 4, Township 5 North, Range 65 West of the 6th P.M., in Weld County. Mining operations at the Derr Pit ceased after December 31, 2012, but recommenced in the spring of 2019 and are expected to continue throughout this plan period. According to information provided by the Applicant, operations at the site did not expose any groundwater until late April 2019. In 2018, Broken Arrow obtained an amendment (AM01) to their reclamation permit to add 105.8 acres to permit M-2008-017 and to revise the mining and reclamation plans. During this plan period, consumptive uses at the Derr Pit site will include evaporative losses from exposed groundwater, water used for dust control purposes, and water lost in the mined product. The pit is proposed to be continuously dewatered up until a slurry wall is constructed around the site. A slurry wall is anticipated to be constructed around Phases 1-4 of the original permit area in the next 2-3 years. A second cell is proposed to be constructed around Phases 5-7 prior to the exposure of groundwater in those cells, approximately 5-6 years from now. The water pumped for dewatering purposes wilt be measured and utilized as the source of replacement water for this SWSP through recharge. cO 1313 Sherman Street, Room 821, Denver, CO 80203 P 343.866.3581 www.codorada.goviwater , ' Jared S. Pods, Governor I Dan Gibbs, Executive Director i Kevin G. Rein, State Engineer/Director I ,'" °j Derr Pit SWSP Plan ID 5240 Depletions November 18, 2019 Page 2 of 6 A total of up to 3.0 acres of groundwater are anticipated to be exposed in Phases 1-4 of the original permit area, consisting of 0.75 acres in dewatering trenches and between 0.95 and 1.3 acres in recharge ponds. Net evaporative depletions were calculated to total 8.75 acre-feet per year based on a gross annual evaporation of 45 inches from the exposed water surface, and a credit of 9.97 inches for effective precipitation (see attached Table 1). No credit was claimed for anticipated ice -covered periods. The estimated monthly depletions due to evaporation during this plan period are shown on the attached Table 1. Broken Arrow estimates that they will mine a total of 600,000 tons of sand and gravel during this plan period. All of the material will be mined below the groundwater table, but in a dewatered state, and will not be washed. The water retained by the sand and gravel is therefore considered to be 2% of the mined material by weight, resulting in a total groundwater loss of 8.83 acre-feet. The Applicant has estimated that a total of 5.00 acre-feet of water will be used for dust control purposes at the site during this plan period, based on a projected daily usage of 2,000 to 6,000 gallons per day. A water truck will be utilized to apply water for dust control purposes. Water used for dust control purposes is assumed to be 100% consumed. A monthly breakdown of operational and evaporative consumptive use at the site is shown in the attached Table 2. Evaporative and operational consumptive use wilt total 22.58 acre-feet during this plan period. The Alluvial Water Accounting System ("AWAS"), which utilizes the Glover method, was used with the alluvial aquifer boundary condition to determine the lagged depletions to the Cache la Poudre River from past and projected evaporation and operational losses at the site. The following parameters were used in the model: a distance (X) of 2,126 feet from the exposed groundwater surface to the river; a distance (W) of 22,900 feet from the stream to the impermeable boundary; a harmonic transmissivity (T) of 76,056 gallons per day per foot; and a specific yield (S) of 0.2. The estimated lagged stream depletions due to projected operations at the Derr Pit will total 13.67 acre-feet during this plan period, as shown on the attached Table 2. The point of depletion for the Derr Pit is assumed to be on the Cache la Poudre River perpendicular to the pit, just downstream of the headgate of the Ogilvy Ditch (WDID 0300937). Dewatering Dewatering at the Derr Pit began in late April of 2019 and the site will be continuously dewatered up until final slurry wall construction. Dewatering water will be delivered to two recharge sites located within the Derr Pit. Derr Pit Recharge Area 1 (WDID 0302068) is located on the west side of the site, and Derr Pit Recharge Area 2 (WDID 0302069) is located on the east side of the site. The District 3 water commissioner performed a site visit on October 17, 2019 and found the dewatering of Derr Pit was more water than the Recharge Areas can handle, and that the excess water is flowing into the Ogilvy Ditch. Nothing in this SWSP approval should be construed as this office granting permission for the discharge of water into the Ogilvy Ditch, or requiring the Ogilvy Ditch to accept such water. It is recommended that the Applicant obtain an agreement with the Derr Pit SWSP Plan ID 5240 November 18, 2019 Page 3 of 6 Ogilvy Ditch in order to continue operating in this manner. The water flowing to the Ogilvy Ditch must be measured to properly account for the amount recharged and the applicant must show this water is infiltrating into the ground or being returned to the river without use. If the applicant is unable to demonstrate this, 100% of the water flowing into the Ogilvy Ditch must be counted as a depletion, with replacement water delivered to the Cache la Poudre River below the headgate of the Ogilvy Ditch. Because the recharge sites are located within the Derr Pit and are closer to the river than the mined area, the timing of dewatering depletions will approximately match the timing of dewatering accretions, with accretions returning to the stream slightly ahead of depletions. As long as the mine site is continuously dewatered, the water returned to the stream system should be adequate to offset the depletions attributable to dewatering operations. Totalizing flow meters must be installed at each discharge location and meter readings must be reported on the submitted accounting. The meter readings will be used in calculating the post -pumping depletions that must be replaced if dewatering ceases at the site during mining operations and/or upon the conclusion of mining operations at the site. Evaporative depletions from the recharge pond have been incorporated into the overall pit depletions, as described in the section above. Replacements The Applicant has obtained a lease with the Ground Water Management Subdistrict of the Central Colorado Water Conservancy District ("Central") for 16.00 acre-feet of Central's fully consumable storage and direct flow water rights in the Cache la Poudre basin. The term of the lease is August 2019 through July 2020. A copy of the signed lease, dated October 1, 2019, is attached. It is anticipated that replacement water will be delivered from storage in the Geisert Reservoir (WDID 0303795), located in the SE% of Section 31, Township 6 North, Range 65 West of the 6th P.M., approximately 4 miles upstream of the Derr Pit. Replacement water can be delivered past the Ogilvy Ditch headgate using Central's augmentation station located at the headgate of the Ogilvy Ditch. The delivery schedule incorporates a transit loss of 2.0% based on a rate of 0.5% per mile. Any releases by Central at a location other than the Geisert Reservoir must be coordinated with the water commissioner to insure the proper transit losses are applied and that no intervening water rights are injured. In addition, if a different transit loss is determined by the division engineer or water commissioner, the Applicant must modify their accounting and replacements as necessary to be consistent with the determined transit loss. The monthly depletions and replacement requirements are found on the attached Table 2. Long Term Augmentation In accordance with the letter dated April 30, 2010 from the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety ("DRMS"), all sand and gravel mining operators must comply with the requirements of the Colorado Reclamation Act and the Mineral Rules and Regulations for the protection of water resources. The April 30, 2010 letter from DRMS requires that you provide information to DRMS to demonstrate you can replace long term injurious stream depletions that result from mining related exposure of groundwater. In accordance with approach number 3, a total bond amount of $1,362,889, which includes the cost of installing a slurry wall, has been set. DRMS approved a phased mining plan operation which allows the bond to be posted in phases. Prior to opening a new phase the operator will submit an increased financial warranty so as to hold enough bond at any given time to construct a slurry wall around the actively mined phases. The current bond amount is $215,400, which covers dry mining in Phases 1-4 of the original permit area and Derr Pit SWSP Plan ID 5240 November 18, 2019 Page 4 of 6 Phase 5A of the amendment area. Prior to exposing of groundwater or disturbing additional surface areas, the Applicant is required to notify DRMS in so that the reclamation bond may be adjusted appropriately. Proof that such a bond has been obtained and the requirements of the April 30, 2010 letter from DRMS have been satisfied must be provided to this office (the Division of Water Resources). Conditions of Approval I hereby approve the proposed SWSP in accordance with Section 37-90-137(11), C.R.S., subject to the following conditions: 1. This SWSP shall be valid for the period of August 1, 2019 through July 31, 2020, unless otherwise revoked or superseded by decree. If a court decreed plan for augmentation is not obtained for the proposed uses by the SWSP expiration date, a renewal request must be submitted to this office with the statutory fee of $257 no later than June 1, 2020. If a renewal request is received after the expiration date of this plan, it may be considered a request for a new SWSP, in which case a $1,593 filing fee will apply. 2. Well permit no. 82868-F was obtained for the current use and exposed pond surface area of the gravel pit in accordance with Sections 37-90-137(2) and (11), C.R.S. 3. The total surface area of the groundwater exposed at the Derr Pit must not exceed 3.0 acres, which results in an annual net evaporative loss of 8.75 acre-feet. 4. The annual amount of water used for operational purposes at the Derr Pit shall not exceed 13.83 acre-feet, estimated as 5.00 acre-feet for dust suppression and 8.83 acre-feet lost with the production of 600,000 tons of mined product. 5. Total consumption at the Derr Pit must not exceed these aforementioned amounts unless an amendment is made to this SWSP. 6. Approval of this SWSP is for the purposes as stated herein. Any additional uses for which the water may be used will be allowed only if a new SWSP is approved for those additional uses. 7. Releases of replacement water must be sufficient to cover all out -of -priority depletions in time, place, and amount and must be made under the direction and/or the approval of the water commissioner. Notice must be provided and approval made by the water commissioner at least 48 hours prior to the release of replacement water, or as required by the water commissioner. 8. The release of replacement water may be aggregated at the discretion of the division engineer and/or water commissioner. The water commissioner and/or the division engineer shall determine the rate and timing of any aggregated release. 9. The replacement water that is the subject of this SWSP cannot be sold or leased to any other entity. As a condition of subsequent renewals of this SWSP, the replacement water must be appurtenant to this site until a plan for augmentation is obtained. Derr Pit SWSP Plan ID 5240 November 18, 2019 Page 5 of 6 10. All diversions and discharges shall be measured in a manner acceptable to the division engineer. The Applicant shall install and maintain such measuring devices as required by the division engineer for operation of this SWSP. 11. Conveyance loss for delivery of augmentation water is subject to assessment and modification as determined by the division engineer. 12. The Applicant shall provide daily accounting (including, but not limited to diversions, depletions, replacement sources, and river calls) on a monthly basis, or more frequent if required by the water commissioner. The accounting must be emailed to the water commissioner (Mark Simpson at Mark.Simpson@state.co.us) and DNR Div1Accounting@state.co.us within 30 days of the end of the month for which the accounting applies. Accounting and reporting procedures are subject to approval and modification by the division engineer. Accounting forms need to identify the WDID number for each well operating under this SWSP. NOTE: Monthly accounting, even during the winter non -irrigation season, is required. Applicant shall verify that the entity making replacement, in this case the Central Colorado Water Conservancy District, has included the Applicant on their accounting submitted to our office. 13. Applicant shall follow the attached Augmentation Plan Accounting Protocol and Recharge Protocol for the operation of this SWSP. 14. Dewatering at this site will produce delayed depletions to the stream system. As long as the pit is continuously dewatered, the water returned to the stream system should be adequate to offset the depletions, thus dewatering is required to continue during the term of this plan. Once dewatering at the sites cease, the delayed depletions must be addressed, including depletions resulting from the gradual refilling of the pit. The monthly volume of water pumped for dewatering operations must be recorded through a totalizing flow meter and shown on the submitted accounting sheets. 15. If dewatering of the site is discontinued prior to completion of the slurry wall liner(s), the pit would fill creating additional depletions to the stream system due to increased evaporation. To assure that additional depletions to the river do not occur, a bond for $215,400 through the DRMS for lining or backfilling of the exposed groundwater has been obtained. Therefore, if the dewatering is discontinued the bond can finance the completion of the lining of the pit or the backfilling, thus preventing ongoing depletions to the stream system. 16. The approved final reclamation plan for the Derr Pit is a lined water storage reservoir. If a lined pond results after reclamation, replacement of lagged depletions, including lagged dewatering depletions, is required to continue until there is no longer an effect on stream flow. If reclamation of the mine site produces a permanent water surface exposing groundwater to evaporation, an application for a plan for augmentation must be filed with the Division 1 Water Court at least three (3) years prior to the completion of mining to include, but not be limited to, long-term evaporation losses. Granting of this plan does not imply approval by this office of any such court application(s). Derr Pit SWSP Plan ID 5240 November 18, 2019 Page 6 of 6 17. The State Engineer may revoke this SWSP or add additional restrictions to its operation if at any time the State Engineer determines that injury to other vested water rights has occurred or will occur as a result of the operation of this SWSP. Should this SWSP expire without renewal or be revoked prior to adjudication of a permanent plan for augmentation, all excavation of product from below the water table, and all other use of water at the pit, must cease immediately. 18. In accordance with amendments to Section 25-8-202-(7), C.R.S. and "Senate Bill 89-181 Rules and Regulations" adopted on February 4, 1992, the State Engineer shall determine if the substitute supply is of a quality to meet requirements of use to which the senior appropriation receiving the substitute supply has normally been put. As such, water quality data or analyses may be requested at any time to determine if the requirement of use of the senior appropriator is met. 19. The decision of the state engineer shall have no precedential or evidentiary force, shall not create any presumptions, shift the burden of proof, or serve as a defense in any water court case or any other legal action that may be initiated concerning this SWSP. This decision shall not bind the state engineer to act in a similar manner in any other applications involving other SWSPs or in any proposed renewal of this SWSP, and shall not imply concurrence with any findings of fact or conclusions of law contained herein, or with the engineering methodologies used by the Applicant.

First Avenue Greeley, CO 806310000 m- waE- O1 7 RE: Mining Operations with Exposed Ground water To Whom It May Concern: COLORADO DIVISION OF RECLAMATION MINING SAFETY Bill Ritter, Jr. Governor James B. Martin Executive Director Loretta E. Pineda Director The Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety is responsible for ensuring that Sand and Gravel mining operators comply with the requirements of the Colorado Land Reclamation Act for the Extraction of Construction Materials (Act) and the Mineral Rules and Regulations of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board for the Extraction of Construction Materials (Rules). Among these requirements are provisions for the protection of water resources. The Act requires that reclamation plans must ensure minimization of disturbances to the prevailing hydrologic balance, including disturbances to the quantity of water in the area affected by mining and in the surrounding areas. § 34-32.5-116(4)(h). Rule 3.1.6(1)(a) requires compliance with Colorado water laws and regulations governing injury to existing water rights both during and after mining. Permits must specify how the permittee will comply with applicable Colorado water laws and regulations governing injury to existing water right rights. Rule 6.3.3(j); Rule 6.4.5(2)(c). After an extensive review, the Division determined that several operators may not have appropriate permit conditions to address certain reclamation liabilities arising from impacts to water resources. In September 2009 the Division of Water Resources (DWR) updated its Guidelines for Sand and Gravel Pits. These guidelines provide guidance on achieving compliance with state law regarding replacement of depletions from sand and gravel mining, thus the guidelines provide a benchmark for the protection of hydrologic balance required under the Act and Rules. As noted in the Guidelines, sand and gravel operations which expose groundwater without complying with state law create a reclamation liability by impacting available groundwater. State law requires that any person exposing ground water must obtain a well permit from the SEO pursuant to § 37-90-137(11). Because exposed groundwater results in out -of -priority water depletions, operations which expose ground water must also eventually obtain a water -court approved augmentation plan. Currently, several operators do not have either an augmentation plan or bonding to provide an alternative method to mitigate injurious stream depletions that result from mining -related exposure of ground water. The Division has a statutory duty to ensure that lands affected by mining are reclaimed in a manner that complies with state law and to ensure that operators have sufficient bonding to achieve reclamation. In order to assist operators in achieving compliance with these requirements, the Division proposes that, by April 30, 2011, operators should contact the Division and agree upon a plan for achieving compliance. Office of Office of Mined Land Reclamation Denver • Grand Junction • Durango Active and Inactive Mines The Division has identified four approaches for operators: 1. File a financial warranty that will ensure backfilling of the pit to cover the exposed ground water to a depth of two feet above the static ground water level or, 2. Obtain a court approved augmentation plan prior to exposing ground water or, 3. File a financial warranty to cover the cost of installing a clay liner or slurry wall that meets the Division of Water Resources requirements for preventing ground water exposure or, 4. Obtain approval from the Division of Water Resources that acknowledges compliance with the SEO's requirements pursuant to § 37-90-137(11). The Division will work with operators on an individual basis as they move to implement one of these plans. It is likely that options 1 and 3 will require the submittal of a technical revision or an amendment to the existing permit depending on the nature of the current mining and reclamation plan and the proposed changes. Increased financial warranties, as a result of these modifications, may be posted in a phased manner not to exceed three years. Amendments or revisions currently under review will be required to be approved by April 30, 2011 and may use the phased financial warranty approach described above. New applications going forward or presently under review by the Division will be required to meet the requirements of one of the options 1-4 at the time of application approval. Failure of affected operators to initiate contact with the Division and gain compliance as described above could result in an enforcement action being issued by the Division. If you have any questions, please contact Tony Waldron at 303-866-3567, extension 8150. cc: M2008017 Derr Pit ADMINISTRATION PROTOCOL Augmentation Plan Accounting Division One - South Platte River This protocol establishes the accounting and reporting process required to enable the division engineer's office to confirm that depletions from all out -of -priority diversions are being replaced so as to prevent injury to vested water rights. The accounting must comport with established "cradle to grave" accounting standards, which allow an audit of the information to track exactly how the data is manipulated as it is translated from raw input data to the resultant impact on the river. While this protocol is subordinate to any decreed language addressing specific accounting requirements, it generally addresses the minimum requirements of such accounting. The accounting must use the standard convention where a depletion is "negative" and an accretion or other replacement source is "positive". The sum of the impacts will then result in either a "negative" or "positive" impact on the stream. Wells in plans that have a negative stream impact must provide additional replacement water, curtail pumping or both until the impact is no longer negative. Plans with a negative stream impact that fail to curtail pumping will be ordered to stop pumping until such time as the projected impact of the wells is no longer negative. 1. Accounting must be submitted electronically to the water commissioner (call 970- 352-8712 to obtain email address) and division engineer at Div1Accounting@state.co.us within 30 days of the end of the month for which the accounting is being submitted. 2. The accounting must provide the contact information including name and address for: a. the owner(s) of each well b. the person responsible for submitting the accounting c. the plan administrator and/or the plan attorney. 3. All input data must be in one location, such as an "Input" worksheet, etc. The accounting must show all pumping. Input data includes the information listed below. a. The required input data for each well is: i. the monthly meter reading for wells that use a presumptive depletion factor (PDF) to determine the associated consumptive use (CU); or ii. the monthly CU in acre-feet (AF) for wells that have a decree or approved SWSP that allows the wells to use a water balance methodology to determine the CU of the well. The analysis used to determine the CU must be included with the accounting. iii. Wells that are decreed as an alternate point of diversion (APOD) to a surface water right must report pumping on a daily basis if any of the diversion during the month is claimed as being "in priority". (See Administration Protocol — APOD Wells for more details.) Administration Protocol - Augmentation Plan Accounting Revised March 19, 2009 iv. The well meter serial readings for each meter shall be included if there is more than one meter on a well. b. Each recharge site must comply with the Administration Protocol - Recharge and must report the: i. daily volume in AF diverted into the site; ii. monthly volume in AF released from the site; iii. monthly net evaporative loss in AF; iv. volume of water in AF remaining at the end of the month. c. The accounting must identify each source of fully consumable replacement water actually delivered to the location impacted by the depletions. To demonstrate the water was actually delivered to the required location will require the following information: i. the originating source of the water, date released and volume of water released; ii. transportation losses to point of diversion or use, if any, using stream loss factors approved by the water commissioner; iii. the volume of water actually delivered on a daily basis past any surface water diversion that was sweeping the river as corroborated by the water commissioner. (See Administration Protocol — Delivery of Water for more details on delivering water.) d. For each source of replacement water that has been "changed" for use as a source of augmentation, such as changed reservoir shares, ditch bypass credits or credits from dry -up, etc., the following input information must be reported: i. the basis and volume of the return flow obligation; ii. the location the changed water was historically used; this will be the location used to determine the timing of the return flow impact on the river. 4. The accounting must include a monthly projection of the plan's operation at least through March 31 of the next calendar year. 5. The accounting must include all input and output files associated with modeling the delayed impact of diversions. The output from the modeling must report to a summary table that shows, by month, the ongoing depletions associated with pumping, return flow obligations, etc. and accretions from recharge operations. 6. A net impact summary must show the out -of -priority depletions, accretions from each recharge site, volume of replacement water actually delivered to the location of the depletions and the resultant net impact on a daily basis. If necessary, the net impact must be done by river reach. While modeling may use a monthly step function to determine the depletions from pumping and accretions from recharge, the monthly result must then be divided by the number of days in the month in order to simulate a daily impact, as water rights are administered on a daily and not monthly basis. Administration Protocol - Augmentation Plan Accounting Revised March 19, 2009 Replacement water must be provided such that the daily net impact (using the simulated daily numbers from the modeling) is not negative. If a well is out -of - priority for 15 days during a month, replacement must be made only for the 15 days the well is out -of -priority. The replacement must be made, however, on a daily basis as opposed to, for instance, making an aggregated release equal to the volume of the out -of -priority depletions. Likewise, the simulated daily accretion will only count toward replacing the depletion on the days the well is out -of -priority. The accretions that report to the river when the well is in priority cannot be used to replace the out -of -priority depletions. The accretions that impact the river when the well is in priority are not considered "excess" unless the cumulative net impact of the well is not negative for the entire irrigation year to date. (The irrigation year for this purpose is April 1 thru the following March 31.) Until such time as the cumulative net impact is not negative, the accretions must simply be released to the river and cannot be leased to other plans or recaptured. Plans that show a positive cumulative net impact are still required to make replacements on a daily basis; the cumulative analysis only effects whether or not accretions reporting to the river when the well is in priority are considered "excess" and are, therefore, able to be recaptured. 7. The basis for determining that the depletions are out -of -priority must be clearly established and all steps in the calculation included in the accounting. The analysis may be done, unless otherwise limited by decree, for each well or groups of wells, provided the most junior water right associated with the group of wells is used as the reference water right for the group's out -of -priority status. 8. Accounting must include actual information for the irrigation year through the month for which the accounting is being submitted AND projections of the plan operation through March 31 of the next calendar year. 9. The following naming convention must be used for all files submitted pursuant to item 1: "PIanWDID_YYMMDD" where: PIanWDID is the WDID assigned by the division engineer's office YYMMDD corresponds to the date the accounting is submitted. As an example, the assigned WDID for the former GASP plan was 0103333. If accounting using Excel® was submitted for that plan on May 15, 2004, the file name would be: "0103333_040515. xls" The name of the file must be in the subject line of the email. 10. All accounting must be reported using the WDID for the structure, at a minimum. Other information such as well name, permit number, etc. may also be included as desired. All wells must be decreed by the water court, permitted by the state engineer or included in a decreed plan for augmentation. Unregistered and undecreed wells cannot, in the opinion of the division engineer, be effectively administered because of the need to know the location, allowable diversion rate and use of the well - information that is only available from the decree or permitting process. Administration Protocol - Augmentation Plan Accounting Revised March 19, 2009 11. If a well is covered in multiple SWSP's or augmentation plans, the monthly meter readings must be the same in the accounting for each plan covering the subject well. The accounting for every plan covering the well shall state the proportionate pumping amount covered by each plan to assure all out -of -priority depletions are replaced. 12. The following additional accounting is required for sources of replacement water used for more than one plan. The water right owner of the replacement water is responsible for accounting for the total replacement amount and how much each plan is using of that total amount. The accounting for portions of the replacement water by other users must match the accounting of the water right owner. The amount of replacement water used by the water right owner and other users together shall not exceed the total replacement amount available. (See Administration Protocol — Use Of Unnamed Sources For Replacement for additional requirements concerning required notice and approval of sources of replacement not specifically described in a SWSP or augmentation plan) Administration Protocol - Augmentation Plan Accounting Revised March 19, 2009 ADMINISTRATION PROTOCOL Recharge Division One — South Platte River The purpose of a "recharge structure" as referenced in this document is to introduce water to the river alluvium that will result in accretions to a live stream. For the purposes of this document, a recharge structure does not include a well that is used to artificially recharge a Denver Basin bedrock aquifer. With that qualification, a recharge structure is defined as: ■ A section of ditch, the losses from which can be reasonably modeled as a single source of water. ■ A pond or group of ponds that receive water from the same delivery location and can be reasonably modeled as a single source of water. 1. A written notification for each recharge structure must be provided to the water commissioner and division engineer. The Division of Water Resources will not acknowledge any recharge activity conducted without the knowledge of the water commissioner. The notification must include: a. a map showing the location of the structure and the court case number of the plan for augmentation authorized to use the structure; b. a map showing the location of the diversion point and the court case number for the decree authorizing the diversion, if any; c. a map showing the location of and all information for the metering location; d. the maximum water surface area of the structure; e. for ditch structures, if the ditch is divided into more than one recharge reach, an explanation of how the volume diverted will be allocated to the various sections. 2. Upon receiving written notification or decree by the water court, the division engineer will assign the structure a WDID number. The WDID number is the identification number that will be used for the administration of the structure and must be included in all correspondence and accounting reports. (For structures that were included in a decreed plan for augmentation but were not physically constructed at the time of the decree, a written notification of the intent to construct the structure must be provided.) 3. Any structure that intercepts groundwater must be permitted as a well and included in a plan for augmentation or substitute water supply plan approved by the state engineer. The division engineer strongly recommends avoiding recharge structures that intercept groundwater, in order to simplify the accounting process. 4. The flow into EVERY recharge structure MUST be metered and equipped with a continuous flow recorder unless the water commissioner in conjunction with the division engineer determines adequate records may be kept without such equipment. If the recharge structure is designed to discharge water via a surface outlet, such discharge must also be metered and equipped with a continuous flow recorder. The water commissioner MUST approve the use of the recharge structure BEFORE any credit will be given for water placed into recharge. Administration Protocol - Recharge Revised February 1, 2008 5. All recharge ponds must have a staff gauge installed such that the gauge registers the lowest water level in the pond. The staff gauge must be readable from a readily accessible location adjacent to the pond. 6. All recharge areas must be maintained in such a way as to minimize consumptive use of the water by vegetation. No recharge area may be used for the planting of crops during the same irrigation year that it is used as a recharge site without prior approval from the water commissioner or division engineer. 7. The amount of water recharged to the alluvial aquifer is determined by measuring the amount of water delivered to the recharge structure and subtracting: a. the amount of water discharged from the recharge structure, b. the amount of water lost to evaporation (see item 8, below), c. the amount of water lost to consumptive use due to vegetation located within the recharge structure, and d. the amount of water retained in the recharge structure that has not yet percolated into the ground. 8. Net evaporative losses from the recharge structure must be subtracted from the volume of water delivered to the pond. Evaporative losses must be taken every day the pond has a visible water level. If the pond does not have a stage -surface area curve approved by the water commissioner, the maximum surface area of the pond must be used to determine the evaporative losses. Monthly loss factors prorated for the number of days the pond had a visible water level may be used as may real time evaporation data from NOAA or a local weather station. If the pond is not inspected on a routine basis through the month, no prorating of monthly factors will be allowed. 9. The amount of accretions from the recharge structure will be credited only in accordance with a decreed plan of augmentation or substitute water supply plan approved by the State Engineer. 10. All water delivered for recharge must be fully consumable: a. changed reservoir rights or the CU portion of changed senior ditch rights; b. transbasin water that has been imported into the South Platte River basin; c. nontributary water; d. excess (unused) accretions from the previous recharge of fully consumable water; e. water diverted in priority after "notice" of intent to fully consume the water; f. water diverted under free river. 11. Water may be delivered to recharge only if the net impact of the associated plan for augmentation is not negative. Water must first be delivered or exchanged to offset negative impacts of the plan for augmentation before it may be diverted for recharge. 12. Accounting must be performed on a daily basis with reports submitted at least monthly and within 30 days of the end of the month for which the accounting is being made. The volume of water diverted into recharge must be provided to the water commissioner weekly when requested by the water commissioner.

Lupton, CO 80621 McGraw' WaUv Encpncennq Via email at: jcyork@j-tconsulting.com RE: Derr Pit —Hydrologic Assessment and Computer Modeling Dear Mr. York: The Derr pit is located east of Greeley, in Section 4, Township 5 North, Range 65 West of the 6th principal meridian in Weld County, Co., and is being developed by Broken Arrow Investments, LLC (BAI). The Derr pit is permitted under Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (DRMS) permit no. DRMS M-2008-017. BAI has amended their mining permit to mine north of the existing pit to C Street, west of Cherry to Ave (CR-43) and east of Balsam St. (CR- 41.5) which is referred to as the "amendment" area. BAI seeks to install a slurry walls around the Derr pit in 2020 and the amendment area in 2022. BAI is seeking approval for a Use by Special Review (USR) amendment from the Weld County Planning Department and the Board of County Commissioners (Board). At a USR hearing on September 11, 2019, several vicinity well owners expressed concerns about dewatering impacts around the pit. BAI asked to continue the hearing so these issues could be evaluated. BAI retained McGrane Water Engineering (MWE) to evaluate groundwater level changes associated with the proposed slurry walls. MWE has experience in this area since we conducted the Loloff Pit — Slurry Wall Assessment (MWE, July 13, 2015). For this study, MWE expanded the study area, evaluated additional monitoring well data and constructed a new model to evaluate the combined effects of the Loloff and Derr pits slurry walls, and the addition of the amendment area slurry wall. Study Area The Derr pit is located approximately 1/2 mile north of the Cache la Poudre (Poudre) River approximately 5 miles from the confluence with the S. Platte River (SPR). Figure 1 shows the study area which centers on the existing Loloff pit, the Derr pit immediately to the east and the amendment area to the north. The study area includes approximately 133 wells identified in the Colorado Division of Water Resources' (DWR) well database (CDWR, 2019). Most of the DWR wells are used for domestic water supply, with a few for irrigation. Slurry Walls Slurry walls prevent groundwater from flowing into a pit. Once a slurry wall is installed, the natural groundwater flow is impeded which causes the water table to back-up and rise on the Derr Pit - Groundwater Modeling Report January 31, 2020 Page 2 of 24 upgradient side and decline on the downgradient side. Water level increases to within 10 feet of the surface on the upgradient side of the pit could threaten flooding of basements, and in extreme cases if water levels increase closer to ground surface encourage phreatophyte (such as cattails) growth. A decline in water levels on the downgradient side could reduce the aquifer saturated thickness and well yields if the decline is significant compared to the pump setting depth. Available Data. We compiled hydrogeologic data from: • Existing reports from the U.S. Geological Survey and Colorado Division of Water Resources (see Sources below); • Well permit completion reports from 133 registered alluvial wells (DWR wells) available from the State's Well database located within the study area; • Water level data from 18 monitoring wells located around the Derr pit; and • Water levels measured at 15 offsite private registered wells located within a mile of the site. Hydrogeology The hydrogeology of the SPR alluvial aquifer is described by Lindsay and Others (1998 and 2005), CDM (2006 and 2013) and CSU (2013). Figure 2 shows the site surficial geology by Tweto, 1979). The alluvium within the model areas consists of alluvial sand and gravel (Qa) adjacent to the modern SPR and Poudre River flood plains, and older terrace alluvium (Qg) outside the floodplain. The alluvium thins to the northeast where the Laramie shale (Kl) outcrops just outside the northeast corner of the model area. Table 1 (end of report) shows compiled pertinent well data that includes: location (Colorado State Plane North coordinates) depth, yield (gpm), water level when drilled, and depth to bedrock calculated from geologic logs (if available). The upper portion of the Table shows the 18 Derr borehole/monitoring well data. The average well depth, water level when drilled and depth to bedrock are 95, 13, and 85 feet respectively. The center portion of the table include 15 private DWR wells that are currently being monitored by BAI that are located within 1 mile of the Derr pit. The average well depth, water level when drilled and depth to bedrock are 67, 28, and 60 feet respectively. The deeper depths reflect ground surface elevations that increase to the north. Well yields range from 7 to 1200 gpm. The lower portion of the table contain the remaining DWR wells within the model area. The average well depth, water level when drilled and depth to bedrock are 51, 19, and 58 feet respectively, whereas, well yields range from 0.75 to 1400 gpm. Predevelopment Water Level Contours Figure 2 shows the geology and reported water levels when drilled which best represent "predevelopment" or pre -mining conditions. The predevelopment water table elevation at wells, and for the Poudre River (at 10 ft increments), were calculated by subtracting the depth to water McGrane Water Engineering, LLC 1669 Apple Valley Rd. • Lyons, CO 80540 • Phone: (303) 917-1247 GVlail: (lcnnis@inceranevvater.coni Web: tli)://www.mcvsranewatereimineerinv.com Derr Pit - Groundwater Modeling Report January 31, 2020 Page 3 of 24 from U.S. Geological Survey 10m Digital Elevation Model (DEM) elevation data. We did not use Derr monitoring well levels in Figure 2 because they are currently below pre -mining conditions. We contoured the data using the US Geological Survey (Hun and Schneider (H&S), 1972) water table map as a guide. The H&S maps were created in 1972 and are widely accepted by hydrogeologists to represent "predevelopment" conditions. Groundwater flows perpendicular to the contours and general toward the river. The contours show that the water table generally flows from the northwest to the southeast across the model area at a gradient controlled by the river. Overall, the water table drops approximately 30 feet from northwest to southeast. A steeper gradient (closer contours) comes from the north as the aquifer thins towards outcropping bedrock (Laramie Formation). Bedrock Elevation Contours Figure 3 shows the well permits and reported well depths. Figure 4 shows the calculated bedrock elevation based on the ground elevation minus the reported depth to bedrock from a "driller's" log. Wells with a less than (<) sign represent wells that did not encounter bedrock based on their driller's logs. The data was used to update the bedrock elevation contours (aka. structure map) published by the USGS (Hun and Schneider, 1972). The map shows a deep (over 100 foot deep) erosional "paleochannel" extending from the northwest to southeast across the study area. The depression was eroded into the bedrock by the Poudre River thousands of years ago before the river established its current depositional character. The bedrock elevation within the paleochannel drops from approximately 4600 feet to approximately 4530 feet in elevation. The Derr pit is on the southern flank of the paleochannel where the alluvium is deepest which is conducive to gravel mining. Saturated Thickness The well saturated thickness is an important factor for evaluating impacts caused by changes in water levels that could affect well yield. Figure 5 shows the borehole saturated aquifer thicknesses calculated by subtracting the depth to bedrock minus the depth to water data. Greater than (>) signs are used as prefixes for shallow wells that did not encounter bedrock based on the driller's logs. The saturated thickness contours were obtained by subtracting the bedrock surface elevation of model cells (Figure 3) from the modeled derived predevelopment water table elevation (Figure 11). The contours show that the saturated aquifer thickness at the Derr pit ranges from 55 to approximately 75 feet deep, and is 75 to over 80 feet thick in the amendment area. The aquifer is thickest in the paleochannel and thins away from the river. Reported Well Yield Figure 6 shows reported well yields (gpm) range from under 15 gpm for domestic wells to 1,400 gpm for agricultural wells. Aquifer Transmissivity Figure 7 shows the contoured aquifer transmissivity (T) which is the product of the aquifer hydraulic conductivity (a measure of permeability) multiplied by the saturated thickness (Figure McGrane Water Engineering, LLC 1669 Apple Valley Rd. • Lyons, CO 80540 • Phone: (303) 917-1247 1 Mail del1111S@mcarancMatcr.coui \Arch: 1(1)://WWW.II1C2Tancmttercillzincerinu..com Derr Pit - Groundwater Modeling Report January 31, 2020 Page 4 of 24 A5). We used a constant hydraulic conductivity of 625 ft/day that best matches the published H&S transmissivity map (H&S, 1972). The transmissivity is highest (300,000 to 400,000 gpd/ft) within the paleochannel and decreases to the northwest and away from the channel. Modeling We used the USGS (McDonald and Harbaugh, 1988) MODFLOW modeling program to evaluate the effect of the existing Loloff and Derr Pit(s). We included the effect of the Loloff pit in our analysis because we feel that it is important to determine the effects of all mining activities on vicinity wells even though the Loloff slurry wall is already installed. We used the Visual MODFLOW (VM) classic interface (version 4.6.0.167) to construct, run and display model results. The model area is approximately 2 miles high and 3 miles wide (west to east) centered on the pits, and consists of 55 rows and 73 columns using 200 -foot square model cells. We conducted two "steady state" runs. The first representing predevelopment conditions that establishes the water table flow direction and aquifer thickness prior to pit development. We then use the same run with the pit cells off to simulate post slurry wall conditions. Because the model cells do not allow flow through them, the upgradient water will mound up and flow around the pit(s). By subtracting the post slurry wall water table elevations from the predevelopment water table elevations, we are able to calculate the change in water levels caused by the slurry walls. Model Boundary Conditions Model boundary conditions include the Poudre River, and constant head cells on the west and north side of the model and a few constant head cells on the east side of the model that were set at predevelopment water table elevations to allow water to freely flow in and out of the model at gradients tied to the river elevations. (Figure 2). We assigned model river cell stage elevations every 10 feet using 10m DEM data, and then used the VM interface to interpolate values linearly between the points. The western -most, upgradient elevation was 4618 ft (msl) and the eastern -most downgradient elevation was 4581 ft (msl). We modeled the aquifer's hydraulic "connection" to the aquifer (ie. the ability of the river to buffer effects of mining) using the MODFLOW "River" package which uses a streambed conductance term (COND) to calculate flow between the river and aquifer. A high level of connection mitigates impacts by allowing water to freely flow between the river and aquifer. COND is calculated as the product of the streambed unit conductance (Ksb/m) times the wetted river area (length * width). Ksb is the streambed vertical permeability and m is the streambed thickness which we assume is 1 ft so that Ksb/m equals Ksb. CDM-Smith (2006, Figure 9) evaluated the streambed permeability at three sites (SC -8, SC -13, and SC -14) within 10 miles of the Derr pit, and came up with Ksb values ranging from 362 ft/day to 404 ft/day. We believe these rates are too high because they are too close to horizontal K (kh) values. Tests conducted in 2009 by Leonard Rice Engineers, Inc. (Denver, Co.) in Twn. 2N., Rng. 66W., Sec. 18, arrived at a Ksb value of 36 ft/day (Miller, 2009). We believe 36 ft/day is more accurate because it was determined through rigorous aquifer testing and is approximately 10 times less than the Kh McGrane Water Engineering, LLC 1669 Apple Valley Rd. • Lyons, CO 80540 • Phone: (303) 917-1247 1'; ✓tail: dctinis@11R i ancwatcr.com Web: l(u://www.nicarane atcrcusineeriuus.coin Derr Pit - Groundwater Modeling Report January 31, 2020 Page 5 of 24 value. A 10:1 Kh/Kv ratio is a common ratio used for alluvial aquifers. Therefore, to be conservative, we decided to reduce the connection to the river by using a Ksb of 36 ft/day. Based on average streambed widths measured from Google Earth (1/27/2017), we calculated a COND value of 396000 ft^2/day as shown in the table below.

In a perfectly "calibrated" model, the modeled and observed contours would overlap. The 4620 ft elevation contours and the 4640 ft contour on the western model boundary match very closely. There is some difference between the 4630 to 4660 ft contours in the central to northern model area. We feel that to pull the modeled contours further north would have involved increasing the model hydraulic conductivity (a measure of permeability) above what we consider reasonable. Therefore, we believe our modeled water table is likely more accurate than the predevelopment water table (white contour lines) target. The figure below compares the measured DWR water levels with output from the model (DerrSS3 run) at the cells containing wells. The plot shows that the model is very accurate (close to the line representing a perfect match of slope = 1) between the 4610 and 4640 foot elevation levels which includes the pits and most of the wells.

Modeling Approach We conducted three "steady state" runs using the model; the first (DerrSS3) establishes the "predevelopment" water table (Figure 2) and aquifer thickness (Figure 5). We then use predevelopment run heads (ie. water table elevations) as input into the "impact" runs (DerrSS3_wPit and DerrSS3_wNDerrPit) with the pit cells off, to simulate post -slurry wall conditions. We calculated the change in water levels caused by slurry walls by subtracting the post slurry wall water table elevations from the predevelopment water table elevations. Through this process, we were able to create contour lines showing regional water table changes and tabulate "impacts" at individual wells. Water Level Changes Caused by Slurry Walls After both the Loloff and Derr pit slurry walls are installed, the model predicts that water levels will rise approximately 2.5 feet on the upgradient sides of the pits (Figure 9) and drop less than one (-1) foot on the downgradient (south) side of the pits. With the addition of the Derr Amendment slurry wall, the model predicts that water levels will rise approximately 3 feet on the upgradient sides of the pits (Figure 10) and drop up to -2.5 on the downgradient (south and east) sides near existing wells. Water levels between the Derr and the amendment slurry walls are expected to decline between -4 to -5 feet, but there are no private wells in that area. Predicted Changes at Private Wells Table 2 shows that if the Loloff and Derr slurry walls are installed, then ten wells could expect water levels to increase or decrease at least +/- 0.5 feet compared to predevelopment conditions. The maximum upgradient increase is approximately 1.6 ft at the Parker domestic well. The maximum downgradient decrease is -0.9 ft at the Taylor and Baab domestic wells. Table 2 also compares the modeled drawdown from predevelopment conditions to actual based on January, 2020 data (discussed below).

Tables 2 and 3 also show current dewatering at impacted wells on the right side of each table which was determined by subtracting the measured January, 2020 water level depths (AgPro, January, 2020) from the modeled depths at predevelopment conditions. The resulting current drawdown ranges from a positive 1.2 feet (mounding) at the Harrell irrigation well to -9.7 feet at the Murata domestic well. The current rise of 1.2 ft in the Harrell well is caused by the Loloff pit slurry wall as predicted by earlier modeling of impacts caused by the Loloff pit slurry wall (MWE, 2015). The Loloff slurry wall was expected to increase water levels approximately +1.5 ft at the Harrell well and cause a - 1.5 ft drop downgradient. Therefore, the existing maximum -9.7 ft "impact" caused by Derr pit dewatering at the Murata well location is 7.6 ft more (9.7 - 2.1 ft) than what was predicted by the model. Therefore, it would benefit Murata and all other vicinity well owners if BAI installs the Derr pit slurry wall as soon as possible to allow water levels to recover to the Modeled Predicted Depths shown in Tables 2 and 3.

However, BAI should continue to monitor the Harrell well after the additional slurry walls are installed to validate the accuracy of the model. Model Sensitivity The modeled mound and drawdown impacts are insensitive to the permeability of the aquifer, referred to as the aquifer hydraulic conductivity (K). K is calculated by dividing the transmissivity (T) by the aquifer thickness. An increase in K causes a proportional increase in model inflows, but also increases the hydraulic connection with the Poudre River which offsets any additional mounding or shadow effects. Therefore, we would not expect any different results if the aquifer permeability were different to what we used in the model. The model results are likely very sensitive to the presence of the Poudre River, but there is no realistic chance that the Poudre river will cease flowing due to strict river administration by the State. Model results are insensitive to streambed leakance due to the relatively large distance that the Derr pit is away from the river. Even using a conservatively low Ksb value of 36 ft/day, the Poudre river bottom is sufficiently permeable to quickly respond to changes in groundwater levels caused by slurry walls. Model Uncertainty There is error in the predictions of any groundwater model. Models include three types of error: 1) conceptual error (how the model is set up and what boundary conditions are used); 2) parametric error (how aquifer properties are measured and calculated); and 3) predictive error (which includes other influences such as seasonal recharge or climate change variations). It was beyond the scope of this project to quantitatively evaluate how the sum of these errors could affect the accuracy of our predictions. However, we feel the model is accurate because: • The model input data sets including aquifer parameters and water levels were carefully created using the most recent data and historical research, modeling and USGS reports; • The aquifer boundary conditions and model conceptualization are simple and intuitively reasonable; • We spent a considerable time "calibrating" the model water levels to measured values; • The results were consistent with other vicinity models created for other clients, and • The results are insensitive to a wide variation to input parameters. Conclusions We conclude: • The model was constructed after considering all available hydrogeologic data. • The model is "calibrated" to private well data located near the vicinity of the Loloff, and Derr pits as shown by Figure 8 and in the calibration plot above. • Table 2 shows that if the Loloff and Derr slurry walls are installed, then ten (10) wells could be impacted. The maximum increase in water levels to upgradient wells is McGrane Water Engineering, LLC 1669 Apple Valley Rd. • Lyons, CO 80540 • Phone: (303) 917-1247 GVlail: dennis@nwaTatievater.com Web: tit)://www.nicaTanewaterenainecring.com Derr Pit - Groundwater Modeling Report January 31, 2020 Page 9 of 24 approximately 1.6 ft at the Parker domestic well. The greatest downgradient decrease is - 0.9 ft at the Taylor and Baab domestic wells. • Table 3 shows that if the Loloff, Derr and amendment area slurry walls are installed, then thirteen (13) wells could be impacted. The maximum upgradient increase is approximately 3.2 ft at the Davis well, and maximum downgradient decrease is -2.1 ft at the Murata well. • The amount of current dewatering ranges from a positive 1.2 ft at the Harrell irrigation well to -9.7 ft at the Murata domestic well (Table 3). • The modeled drawdown caused by slurry walls is less than current drawdown conditions. Based on our evaluation and modeling, we strongly believe that installing a slurry wall around the Derr pit will improve existing groundwater conditions for all nearby private well owners because water levels will recover from existing conditions. After recovery, water levels will likely mound on the upgradient sides of the pits, but not enough to flood existing basements. Downgradient, existing wells will likely see lower water levels compared to preexisting conditions, but higher levels than today. We do not believe any downgradient wells will experience significant adverse impacts such as a measurable decline in well yield. Recommendations We therefore recommend that BAI should install a slurry wall around the Derr pit as soon as possible. This would allow ongoing dewatering to cease and water levels to recover. Full recovery could take 1 to 2 years. During the meantime, we recommend that BAI: • Continue to monitoring the 18 Derr monitoring wells and vicinity private wells on a monthly basis until the slurry wall is installed, and less frequent thereafter until recovery is complete; and • Although not anticipated, if upgradient mounding does cause any flooding, mitigate the situation by the use of sump pumps or drains.

We understand that you have withdrawn your objections to the mine expansion by an August 19, 2019 email from your attorney Sean M. Stewart. Broken Arrow Investments, LLC, would nevertheless, still be happy to meet with you to explain and discuss the results of the modeling for the proposed Derr Pit Amendment, as well as to discuss any of the other issues listed below. Issues that were identified in your objection letters at the Planning Commission and Board of County Commissioners Hearing included the following: • Noise • Dust Control • Groundwater • Traffic We have been monitoring wells from the neighbors that allowed access to their wells. This was done to acquire more data to support our groundwater modeling efforts. Water levels have remained relatively constant during the monitoring thus far. We have attached the well monitoring information to allow you to review it prior to any meeting.

We would also like to discuss the other issues listed below with you to come to resolution on mitigation of the issues. Issues that were identified in your objection letters at the Planning Commission and Board of County Commissioners Hearing included the following: • Noise • Dust Control • Groundwater • Traffic To review where things currently stand, Broken Arrow Investments, LLC has completed well inspections on the Francis irrigation and stock wells. The Francis irrigation well testing indicated this well has an 85% plugged well screen so flow is constricted. Inspection of the Francis stock well revealed that the column pipe was rusted and broken from the pump discharge so the motor could not be removed. In our recent conversations you have indicated that you would prefer to re -drill the existing domestic well rather than rehab the existing stock well. You also indicated that you would like to re -drill the domestic well deeper if possible, but that you would cover the cost of drilling beyond the depth of the existing stock well. To facilitate cost -sharing, we have requested an updated cost breakdown from Quality Well and Pump for drilling to bedrock which, is likely 40 to 50 feet, and then for going deeper to a depth of 175 feet. We are awaiting their response. We have also requested pricing for your other property where the existing domestic well is not accessible as it is in the basement of the house. The price breakdown for this well re -drilling will be presented the same way.

("Loloff'), whose address is 801 8th Street, Suite 130, Greeley, Colorado 80631; Global Asset Recovery, LLC ("GAR"), whose address is 6530 Constitution Dr., Fort Wayne, Indiana 46804; and Silvia Parker whose address is 211 N. Balsam Avenue. Greeley, Colorado 80631 ("Parker") (collectively, the "Parties"). RECITALS 1. GAR owns the Derr Sand and Gravel Pit ("Derr Pit") located at 590 North Balsam Avenue in Weld County, Colorado. BAI operates the Derr Pit as an active sand and gravel mine under Permit No. DRMS M-2008-017, issued by the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety ("DRMS"). Loloff owns and operates the Loloff Sand and Gravel Pit ("Loloff Pit") located directly across North Balsam Avenue from the Derr Pit. Loloff operates the Loloff Pit as an active sand and gravel mine under Permit No. DRMS M-1985- 112. 2. GAR. BAI, and Loloff, hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Companies," have common, though not identical. interest in the matters addressed by this Agreement. DRMS amended Permit No. DRMS M-2008-017 for the Derr Pit on June 27. 2018 (Revision No. AM0I) to allow BAI to expand mining into an area north and west of the existing Derr Pit boundary, as shown in Exhibit A ("Amendment Area"). 4. In addition to the amended State DRMS permit, BAI also requires Weld County approval to expand operations into the Amendment Area. As part of this approval, Weld County granted a zoning change on September 11, 2019 for the Amendment Area, which BAI recorded on December 4, 2019. BAI is in the process of amending the Weld County Use by Special Review ("USR") Permit, 2MJUSR 19-08-1660, as the final authorization necessary to begin mining the Amendment Area. 5.

I had previously opposed this USR. amendment in oral testimony before the Weld County Board of County Commissioners and in a written statement that was submitted to Weld County and entered into the record for the USR permit amendment proceedings. I have resolved my concerns regarding the mine expansion with BAI and related parties and now wish to withdraw my previous opposition.

We are currently in the process of amending the USR permit to include additional area north of the original permit boundary. Per our meetings and previous discussions we are providing the attached agreement for your review and we wish to finalize this agreement so we may move forward with getting approval of the USR amendment with Weld County. We would like to cover a few items with this letter to discuss how we came to this proposed draft of the attached agreement. • You own 2 wells that are registered with the State of Colorado, Department of Natural Resources, Division of Water Resources. There is one well on your Parcel No. 096103000044 at 21138 County Road 62. There is one well on your Parcel No. 080334000019. The well numbers are Permit 13200F (irrigation well), and Permit 13199R (irrigation well). • We have had AgPro monitoring your wells since September 2019 and will continue to do so for the life of the Derr Pit mining. • The records for your well are available from the State Engineer's Office for the pumping that has occurred in previous years. • We have reviewed information on the Bliss Well and your wells in this area. The meter testing on all of these wells in 2015 and again in 2019 are nearly the same for the discharge capacity of each well. Your wells that were tested in 2019 had slightly higher flows than in 2015. • The Loloff Mine has completed the mining and are finishing the reclamation of the mine. The slurry wall was constructed in 2017 and passed the State Engineer's Office required leak test. No dewatering is occurring at the Loloff Mine. Mr. Winters and Ms. Hoffner RE: Derr Pit Expansion Neighboring Landowner Agreement -2- • The Derr Pit is going to start slurry wall construction for the original permitted area in March of 2020. Below are the proposed items we would pay for based upon the existing conditions and evaluations that have been completed: • The irrigation wells will continue to be monitored by AgPro. Since there is data on what each well could pump previously we have a baseline for the existing capacity of each well. If either of the wells begin to pump 50 gpm less that what the previous meter certification test results show we would propose to rent CBT or other shares of irrigation water so that you are not impacted while the well can be inspected to determine if there are problems with the existing pump, motor, screen, or other parts of the well. We would propose to have Quality Well and Pump do any inspection and testing of the well. We would like to have you review and respond back to us by March 15th so we may finalize the agreement.

We are currently in the process of amending the USR permit to include additional area north of the original permit boundary. Per our meetings and previous discussions we are providing the attached agreement for your review and we wish to finalize this agreement so we may move forward with getting approval of the USR amendment with Weld County. We would like to cover a few items with this letter to discuss how we came to this proposed draft of the attached agreement. • You own 3 wells that are registered with the State of Colorado, Department of Natural Resources, Division of Water Resources. There are three wells on your Parcel No. 080333000017 at 1001 East C Street. The well numbers are Permit 314644 (stock well), Permit 314643 (domestic well), and Permit 11564 (irrigation well). • We have had AgPro monitoring your wells since September 2019 and will continue to do so for the life of the Derr Pit mining. • The records for your well are not available from the State Engineer's Office for the pumping that has occurred in previous years. There are also not meter testing records for your well on file at the State Engineer's Office. • The irrigation well was rehabbed by Quality Well and Pump in late 2011/early 2012 per their records. The well casing had previously failed and the well caved in. Quality Well and Pump pulled the pump and installed a casing liner (14" diameter that was 55' long) and well screen (30' length of Galvanized Johnson Screen). The well was bailed with a sand bucket to get liner and screen into place. The existing pump bowl was found full of gravel and rocks consistent with signs of well caving in. The line shaft, column pipe, and oil tube were all thin and rusted out. 80' of column pipe was replaced along with the oil tube and line shaft. The pump bowl was replaced with an American Marsh single stage 12" MS. The headshaft was replaced and a bowl screen was added. The packing gland was re -machined. The motor Mr. Koehler RE: Derr Pit Expansion Neighboring Landowner Agreement -2- was re -built by Greeley Electric. The well was sonar jetted with 2-25' charges. The well was not pump tested after the rehab work was completed. • We have reviewed information on the Bliss and Hofner Wells that are other irrigation wells in the surrounding area. The meter testing on those wells in 2015 and again in 2019 are nearly the same for the discharge capacity of each well. • The Loloff Mine has completed the mining and are finishing the reclamation of the mine. The slurry wall was constructed in 2017 and passed the State Engineer's Office required leak test. No dewatering is occurring at the Loloff Mine. • The Derr Pit is going to start slurry wall construction for the original permitted area in March of 2020. Below are the proposed items we would pay for based upon the existing conditions and evaluations that have been completed: • The property you own Parcel No. 080333000017 at 1001 East C Street is currently served by North Weld Water District with potable water. The existing domestic and stock wells for this property were just recently registered in August 2019. The well registration indicates that the wells are both 52' deep. AgPro measured the depth to water in each of these wells over the past 6 months and also measured a depth to the bottom of each well. The stock well is actually 59.8' deep and the domestic well is actually 57' deep. We will also continue to monitor the existing stock and domestic well. If the water level drops to a depth where the domestic well or stock well will not pump we will have Quality Well and Pump set the pump lower in the well so it will continue to pump water. We would propose to pay the water bill at this property if the domestic or stock well have problems and assist in changing plumbing to allow the potable water service to serve the irrigation and stock watering for your property during the time the domestic or stock well are out of service. • The irrigation well will continue to be monitored by AgPro. Since there is no data on what the well could pump previously we need to establish what it can pump. We would recommend doing a pump test on this well to establish the flowrate it is currently pumping at by running the existing pump and reading the meter at 15 minute intervals for an hour or two hours. Based on the data of the surrounding wells we do not believe the mining is affecting this well as the other irrigation wells are pumping what they have historically pumped based on the meter testing on record with the State Engineer's Office. We contacted Quality Well and Pump to discuss some of the possible issues that could be causing lower capacity of the existing pump and they provided a quote for changing the pump out and doing repairs to the existing motor. It also appears that there are headlosses that occur in the existing pipeline that runs another 1,200 to 1,300 feet north of the existing well that could be limiting the amount of water being pumped from the well. We would recommend doing the upgrades Quality Well and Pump provided and paying for those items. The cost for the upgrades is $14,539.16. We would like to have you review and respond back to us by the end of this week on Friday, March 20th so we may finalize the agreement. Broken Arrow Investments, LLC 801 8th St., Suite 130 Greeley, CO 80631 (303) 566-5090 Mr. Koehler RE: Derr Pit Expansion Neighboring Landowner Agreement -3- Sincerely, Kelly Hodge Broken Arrow Investments, LLC Broken Arrow Investments, LLC 801 8th St., Suite 130 Greeley, CO 80631 (303) 566-5090 g.)c 13b DERR PIT EXPANSION -NEIGHBORING LANDOWNER AGREEMENT THIS AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made this day of , 2020 by and between Broken Arrow Investments, LLC ("BAI"), whose address is 801 8th Street, Suite 130, Greeley, Colorado 80631; Loloff Construction, Inc. ("Loloff'), whose address is 801 8th Street, Suite 130, Greeley, Colorado 80631; Global Asset Recovery, LLC ("GAR"), whose address is 6530 Constitution Dr., Fort Wayne, Indiana 46804; and Jerry Winters and Dixie Ann Hoffner ("Winters/Hoffner") (collectively, the "Parties"). RECITALS 1. GAR owns the Derr Sand and Gravel Pit ("Den Pit") located at 590 North Balsam Avenue in Weld County, Colorado. BAI operates the Derr Pit as an active sand and gravel mine under Permit No. DRMS M-2008-017, issued by the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety ("DRMS"). Loloff owns and operates the Loloff Sand and Gravel Pit ("Loloff Pit") located directly across North Balsam Avenue from the Den Pit. Loloff operates the Loloff Pit as an active sand and gravel mine under Permit No. DRMS M-1985-112. 2. GAR, BAI, and Loloff, hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Companies," have common, though not identical, interest in the matters addressed by this Agreement. 3. DRMS amended Permit No. DRMS M-2008-017 for the Den Pit on June 27, 2018 (Revision No. AM01) to allow BAI to expand mining into an area north and west of the existing Derr Pit boundary, as shown in Exhibit A ("Amendment Area"). 4. In addition to the amended State DRMS permit, BAI also requires Weld County approval to expand operations into the Amendment Area. As part of this approval, Weld County granted a zoning change on September 11, 2019 for the Amendment Area, which BAI recorded on December 4, 2019. BAI is in the process of amending the Weld County Use by Special Review ("USR") Permit, 2MJUSR19-08-1660, as the final authorization necessary to begin mining the Amendment Area. 5. Winters/Hoffner owns Parcel No. 096103000044 at 21138 County Road 62 and Parcel No. 080334000019 ("Property"), which lies east and north of the Amendment Area. 6. Winters/Hoffner has opposed BAI's efforts to amend the USR Permit, 2MJUSR19-08- 1660, in letters submitted to Weld County and entered into the record for the USR permit amendment proceedings. 7. Winters/Hoffner's opposition to the USR Permit amendment is primarily, though not exclusively, based on its belief that additional mining in the Amendment Area at the Derr Pit will have a negatively impact on various water wells on the Property ("Winters/Hoffner wells"). • 8. The Parties disagree as to whether and to what extent mining operations in the Amendment Area will impact the wells. 9. To address Winters/Hoffner's concerns, BAI has: researched the Winters/Hoffner wells to identify potential impacts from mining operations and hired a groundwater engineer to study the impacts from current and planned mining operations. BAI has shared the results of the research and study with Winters/Hoffner. 10. The Parties wish to resolve all outstanding issues through this Agreement. THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and obligations stated herein, and the mutual benefits to be derived therefrom, the Parties agree as follows: COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS I. Purpose of Agreement The purpose of this Agreement is to address Winters/Hoffner's concerns related to BAI's and Loloff s existing and planned mining operations, have Winters/Hoffner withdraw its opposition to BAI's efforts to amend the USR Permit, 2MJUSR19-08-1660, and fully resolve all issues and obligations between Winters/Hoffner and the Companies related to operations at the Derr and Loloff Pits. This Agreement is further intended to facilitate BAI's efforts to obtain final authorization from Weld County to expand its mining operations into the Amendment Area. II. Identification of Concerns Winters/Hoffner identifies the following concerns as the basis for its objection to the Derr Pit expansion: A. Noise Winters/Hoffner has concerns about noise that will be generated by operations in the Amendment Area. B. Dust Winters/Hoffner has concerns about dust that will be generated by operations in the Amendment Area. C. Traffic Winters/Hoffner has concerns about increased traffic generated by operations in the Amendment Area and the travel routes of the mine -related vehicles. 2 D.

Box 843 Greeley, CO 80632-0843 March 16, 2020 Re: Derr Pit Expansion Neighboring Landowner Agreement Mr. Francis: Broken Arrow Investments, LLC has a State of Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety (DRMS) Reclamation Permit M2008-078 to allow sand and gravel mining at the Derr Pit and a Weld County Use by Special Review (USR) Permit USR-1660. We are currently in the process of amending the USR permit to include additional area north of the original permit boundary. Per our meetings and previous discussions we are providing the attached agreement for your review and we wish to finalize this agreement so we may move forward with getting approval of the USR amendment with Weld County. We would like to cover a few items with this letter to discuss how we came to this proposed draft of the attached agreement. • You own 4 wells that are registered with the State of Colorado, Department of Natural Resources, Division of Water Resources. There are three wells on your original Parcel No. 096104301011 at 351 East 8th Street. The well numbers are Case No. W-4689 (stock well) Permit 26555, Permit 13588-F (domestic well), and Permit 30562-F (irrigation well). There is one well on the property you purchased from Kohloff Parcel No. 096104301027 at 701 Balsam Avenue. The well number is Permit 223887. • Previously we had tried to re -drill wells for you when we had John's Pump Service available to do the work back in January 2018 but were unable to get your approval to do so. • The stock well was inspected by Quality Well and Pump in October of 2019 and the discharge pipe was found to be rusted out and separated from the existing pump. This item was discussed and you indicated that you did not want to repair as you would rather re -drill the domestic well and permit for outdoor landscape/yard watering and stock watering in addition to the domestic use. • The irrigation well was inspected and pump tested by Quality Well and Pump and the Mr. Francis RE: Derr Pit Expansion Neighboring Landowner Agreement -2- screened casing was found to be 85% plus plugged. The pump test indicated that the current condition allowed 125-150 gpm to be pumped during the 2 hour pump test. • We had Quality Well and Pump provide some estimates of re -drilling alluvial domestic wells and rehabilitating the irrigation well. • The Loloff Mine has completed the mining and are finishing the reclamation of the mine. The slurry wall was constructed in 2017 and passed the State Engineer's Office required leak test. No dewatering is occurring at the Loloff Mine. Below are the proposed items we would pay for based upon the existing conditions and evaluations that have been completed: • The property you purchased from Kohloff Parcel No. 96104301027 at 701 Balsam Avenue is currently served by North Weld Water District with potable water. The estimate to re -drill the existing alluvial domestic well provided by Quality Well and Pump was $9,886.86. We would propose to pay you/Quality Well and Pump this amount for the re -drilling of the existing domestic well per the attached agreement. • The irrigation well rehab estimate provided by Quality Well and Pump was $19,346.05. We would propose to pay you/Quality Well and Pump $19,346.05 for the rehab of the existing irrigation well per the attached agreement. • The existing domestic well on your original Parcel No. 096104301011 at 351 East 8th Street does not currently have a pump installed in it. This parcel is also served by the City of Greeley for potable water service. The estimate to re -drill the existing alluvial domestic well provided by Quality Well and Pump was $9,886.86. We would propose to pay you/Quality Well and Pump this amount for the re -drilling of the existing domestic well per the attached agreement. We would like to have you review and respond back to us at your earliest convenience so we may finalize the agreement. Kelly Hodge Broken Arrow Investments, LLC Broken Arrow Investments, LLC 801 8th St., Suite 130 Greeley, CO 80631 (303) 566-5090 EI4-b DERR PIT EXPANSION -NEIGHBORING LANDOWNER AGREEMENT THIS AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made this day of , 2020 by and between Broken Arrow Investments, LLC ("BAI"), whose address is 801 8th Street, Suite 130, Greeley, Colorado 80631; Loloff Construction, Inc. ("Loloff"), whose address is 801 8th Street, Suite 130, Greeley, Colorado 80631; Global Asset Recovery, LLC ("GAR"), whose address is 6530 Constitution Dr., Fort Wayne, Indiana 46804; and Robert D. Francis ("Francis") whose address is 351 8th Street, Greeley, Colorado 80631 (collectively, the "Parties"). RECITALS 1. GAR owns the Derr Sand and Gravel Pit ("Derr Pit") located at 590 North Balsam Avenue in Weld County, Colorado. BAI operates the Derr Pit as an active sand and gravel mine under Permit No. DRMS M-2008-017, issued by the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety ("DRMS"). Loloff owns and operates the Loloff Sand and Gravel Pit ("Loloff Pit") located directly across North Balsam Avenue from the Derr Pit. Loloff operates the Loloff Pit as an active sand and gravel mine under Permit No. DRMS M-1985- 112. 2. GAR, BAI, and Loloff, hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Companies," have common, though not identical, interest in the matters addressed by this Agreement. 3. DRMS amended Permit No. DRMS M-2008-017 for the Derr Pit on June 27, 2018 (Revision No. AM01) to allow BAI to expand mining into an area north and west of the existing Derr Pit boundary, as shown in Exhibit A ("Amendment Area"). 4. In addition to the amended State DRMS permit, BAI also requires Weld County approval to expand operations into the Amendment Area. As part of this approval, Weld County granted a zoning change on September 11, 2019 for the Amendment Area, which BAI recorded on December 4, 2019. BAI is in the process of amending the Weld County Use by Special Review ("USR") Permit, 2MJUSR19-08-1660, as the final authorization necessary to begin mining the Amendment Area. 5. Francis owns two properties near the existing Loloff and Den Pits, and the Amendment Area: Parcel No. 096104301011 at 351 East 8th Street, and Parcel No. 096104301027 at 701 Balsam Avenue. The City of Greeley provides potable water service to Parcel No. 096104301011 and the North Weld County Water District provides potable water service to Parcel No. 096104301027. 6. Francis has opposed BAI's efforts to amend the USR Permit, 2MJUSR19-08-1660, in oral testimony before the Weld County Board of County Commissioners and in a July 16, 2019 affidavit that was submitted to Weld County and entered into the record for the USR permit amendment proceedings. 7. Francis' opposition to the USR Permit amendment is primarily, though not exclusively, based on his belief that existing mining operations at the Loloff and Derr Pits have negatively impacted various water wells on the two Francis parcels ("Francis wells"), and that additional mining in the Amendment Area will exacerbate such impacts. 8. The Parties disagree as to whether and to what extent existing mining operations have impacted the wells, and whether and to what extent mining in the Amendment Area will impact the wells. 9. To address Francis' concerns, BAI has: retained qualified individuals to assess the current status of the Francis wells; hired a groundwater engineer to study the impacts from current and planned mining operations; and obtained cost estimates from a well drilling and servicing company for making certain improvements to the wells. BAI has shared the results of the inspections, study, and cost estimates with Francis. 10. The Parties wish to resolve all outstanding issues through this Agreement. THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and obligations stated herein, and the mutual benefits to be derived therefrom, the Parties agree as follows: COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS I. Purpose of Agreement The purpose of this Agreement is to address Francis' concerns related to BAI's and Loloff's existing and planned mining operations, have Francis withdraw his opposition to BAI's efforts to amend the USR Permit, 2MJUSR19-08-1660, and fully resolve all issues and obligations between Francis and the Companies related to operations at the Den and Loloff Pits. This Agreement is further intended to facilitate BAI's efforts to obtain final authorization from Weld County to expand its mining operations into the Amendment Area. II. Identification of Concerns Francis identifies the following concerns as the basis for his objection to the Derr Pit expansion: A. Noise Francis has general concerns about noise that will be generated by operations in the Amendment Area. B. Dust Francis has general concerns about dust that will be generated by operations in the Amendment Area. 2 C. Traffic Francis has general concerns about increased traffic generated by operations in the Amendment Area and the travel routes of the mine -related vehicles. D. Water Wells Francis has four wells total on the two parcels (three on Parcel No. 096104301011 and one on Parcel No. 096104301027).

Francis 8 Exhibit B Sample Letter to Weld County Board of County Commissioners 10 COLORADO Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety Department of Natural Resources 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 Denver, CO 80203 MEMO TO FILE Date: 3/6/18 Specialist: PSH Signed: Subject/Operator/Operation/File No. CT -10 / Loloff Construction / Loloff Mine / M-1985-112 Type of Interaction: (Meetinj Phone Other Person(s) contacted and affiliation: Kelly Hodge with Loloff Construction / Iron Mill Mining Summary and Resolution of Interaction: On December 1, 2017, the Division issued the following problem during a complaint investigation at the Loloff Mine (CT -10) from Mr. Rocky Francis: INSPECTION TOPIC: Hydrologic Balance PROBLEM: Problem: The dewatering activity at the Loloff Mine conducted prior to the installation of the slurry wall has caused disturbances to the prevailing hydrologic balance of the surrounding area and to the quantity of water in the groundwater system. CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: Loloff Construction, Inc. must implement the approved mitigation plan for the site and work with the affected well owner to investigate and rehabilitate the wells within 30 days of the mailing date of this inspection report. This is a problem related to Rule 3.1.6(1) of the Mineral Rules and Regulations of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board for the Extraction of Construction Materials and CRS 34-32.5-116(4)(h) of the Colorado Land Reclamation Act for the Extraction of Construction Materials. Failure to comply with the corrective action may result in the problem escalating to a possible violation and an enforcement hearing being scheduled in front of the Mined Land Reclamation Board. CORRECTIVE ACTION DUE DATE: 1/22/18 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, CO 80203 P 303.866.3567 F 303.832.8106 http://mining.state.co.us John W. Hickenlooper, Governor I Robert Randall, Executive Director I Virginia Brannon, Director Page 2 of 2 March 6, 2018 December 22, 2018 - The Division emailed a copy of the inspection report to Mr. Francis and Mr. Kelly and encouraged Loloff Construction and Mr. Francis to contact each other to coordinate an inspection of Mr. Francis' wells. January 16, 2018 — Mr. Kelly Hodge with Loloff Construction emailed the Division stating he had contracted with Johns Pump Service to investigate Mr. Francis' wells, but had not been able to contact Mr. Francis. January 24, 2018 —The Division emailed Mr. Francis to inform him Loloff Construction had hired Johns Pump Service to investigate his wells, but were unable to contact Mr. Francis. The Division instructed Mr. Francis to contact Loloff Construction. January 31, 2018 — Mr. Kelly Hodge with Loloff Construction showed the call log on his phone indicating attempts to contact Mr. Francis recently during a meeting with the Division. Mr. Hodge stated Mr. Francis did not return his calls. Due to the lack of cooperation by Mr. Francis to contact Loloff Construction and allow Johns Pump Service on his property to investigate his wells the Division considers this complaint resolved. 6/7/2018 State.co.us Executive Branch Mail - Loloff Mine Complaint Investigation bc NJ STATE OF COLORADO Hays - DNR, Peter <peter.hays@state.co.us> Loloff Mine Complaint Investigation Kelly <kahodgel @comcast. net> To: "Hays - DNR, Peter" <peter.hays@state.co.us> Cc: rrgeist2 <rrgeist2@aol.com> Peter, Thu, Jun 7, 2018 at 6:48 AM Jeff Anderson and myself went to Rocky Francis residence to investigate the complaint of well issues. As to Mr. Francis first complaint that the well water levels have not improved the only well in the area that had access was the stock well #2655A. In 2015 the division recorded static water levels of 22.64 ft. In December the division recorded levels at 16.78 ft. on 6/6/2017 the static water level was 12.4 ft. Rocky's records showed the previous months level at 12.9. I asked Mr. Francis to turn the well on to see if there was adequate water supply and he said no, there was not enough and that his pump might burn up. I said that he (Rocky) had just measured the water depth at 12.4 ft. he replied that there was not enough water at that time. I asked him when the last time he tried the well was and he replied "20 years ago." I stated that unless we turn the pump on we don't know if there is a problem and he agreed to turn the pump on. After some time Rocky turned the pump on and stayed inside for a period of time due to fire concerns. When the pump was turned on it ran a stream of clear water for several seconds followed by rust colored water, then clear again. The pump ran for approximately 2 minutes and did not run out of water. I asked Mr. Francis to turn on his irrigation well and he said that if he turns it on and it blows up that I would be responsible for the damage, I declined and asked him when the last time he tried to run the pump was and he replied "around 20 ago". I asked him how do we know if there is a problem with this pump if you haven't tried it and he stated that "because we stopped dewatering our pit the ditch is empty and that the ground water was flowing around his property." I reminded him that ground water was at 12ft. 100ft. away at his other well. He stated the ditch was dry and there was no water for his irrigation well and perhaps our slurry wall had failed. I asked if we could check the depth of water in the casing and he said no,they have been unable to remove nut to allow that for quit some time. Well #135883 Domestic well. We measured water level at 10ft. and the water probe got stuck on something in the casing, I asked rocky what it was stuck on and he said that the electrical line had been cut and that they have not used it for several years because the house had a water tap. I informed Rocky that I would report my findings to Peter Hays and that until the pumps are able to be turned on to determine if there is a problem this matter is resolved.

Broken Arrow Investments, LLC 801 8th Street, Suite 130 Greeley, CO 80631 Mr. Brian Murata 29485 County Road 43 Greeley, CO 80631 Phone: 970-396-8700 February 20, 2020 Re: Derr Pit Expansion Neighboring Landowner Agreement Mr. Murata Broken Arrow Investments, LLC has a State of Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety (DRMS) Reclamation Permit M2008-078 to allow sand and gravel mining at the Derr Pit and a Weld County Use by Special Review (USR) Permit USR-1660. We are currently in the process of amending the USR permit to include additional area north of the original permit boundary. Per our meetings and previous discussions we are providing the attached agreement for your review and we wish to finalize this agreement so we may move forward with getting approval of the USR amendment with Weld County. We would like to cover a few items with this letter to discuss how we came to this proposed draft of the attached agreement. You own 1 well that is registered with the State of Colorado, Department of Natural Resources, Division of Water Resources. There is one well on your Parcel No. 096104000066 at 29485 County Road 43. The well number is Permit 246784 (domestic well). • We have had AgPro monitoring your wells since September 2019 and will continue to do so for the life of the Derr Pit mining. • We hired Quality Well and Pump to inspect and test the existing domestic well. The domestic well was inspected and pump tested by Quality Well and Pump on 1/10/20. The pump was tested and produced 25 gpm for one hour and the stabilized water level was 55 feet below the top of the casing. • The Derr Pit is going to start slurry wall construction for the original permitted area in March of 2020. • The Loloff Mine has completed the mining and are finishing the reclamation of the mine. The slurry wall was constructed in 2017 and passed the State Engineer's Office required leak test. No dewatering is occurring at the Loloff Mine. Mr. Murata RE: Derr Pit Expansion Neighboring Landowner Agreement -2- Below are the proposed items we would pay for based upon the existing conditions and evaluations that have been completed: • We hired Quality Well and Pump to set the pump lower to allow for better capacity and pumping. The pump was lowered on 1/10/20 and the intake was set at 70' below the top of the casing. The pump was tested and produced 25 gpm for one hour and the stabilized water level was 55 feet below the top of the casing. • If monthly monitoring shows that the water level in the existing domestic well on the Property gets to a level where pumping is no longer possible, BAI shall, within ten days of such water level measurement and at its sole expense, hire Quality Well and Pump of La Salle, Colorado to check the pump in the affected well and repair to allow continued production. During the time the well is out of service BAI would pay the North Weld Water District water bill and assist with plumbing changes to make the potable water available for the domestic well irrigation. We would like to have you review and respond back to us by March 15th so we may finalize the agreement.

Polis, Governor I Dan Gibbs, Executive Director I Virginia Brannon, Director December 19, 2019 Mr. Peter Hays Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety 1313 Sherman Avenue, Room 215 Denver, CO 80203 RE: Loloff Construction, Inc. - Loloff Mine - DRMS M1985-112 Dear Mr. Hays, Loloff Construction, Inc. would like to provide you with a response to the complaint filed by Mr. Bickling on October 14, 2019 and Ms. Lida Stout on November 22, 2019. We have reviewed the complaints and wanted to provide you with information that we have collected and items we have been working on in relation to the adjacent gravel mine permit owned by Broken Arrow Investments, LLC (the Derr Pit DRMS M2008-078) Use by Special Review Amendment with Weld County. Broken Arrow Investments, LLC is owned and managed by the same people that own and operate Loloff Construction, Inc. ➢ We have been monitoring the wells of those neighbors who have granted us access to their wells. This was done to provide more data for groundwater modeling efforts. ➢ Broken Arrow Investments, LLC / Loloff Construction, Inc. has completed well inspections on the Francis wells and the Taylor well. We are currently awaiting schedules from the well drilling contractors on when we can perform additional work on the Francis wells. We are also planning to lower the pump setting at the Taylor Well. ➢ Broken Arrow Investments is in the process of having the slurry wall design for the original Derr Pit mining cell completed, and has scheduled the construction to commence in March 2020. ➢ We have nearly completed exhibits that help explain our groundwater modeling efforts and plan to review these exhibits with the neighbors prior to finalizing the report conclusions and recommendations. To date we have met with Mel Bickling and the Koehler family. We just received some information on the wells that Loloff Construction, Inc. 801 8th Street, Suite 130 Greeley, Colorado 80631 RE: Loloff Construction, Inc. — Loloff Mine — DRMS M1985-112 12/19/19 -2- Agpro measured to determine the bottom depth of the Koehler domestic and stock wells. ➢ J.C. York with J&T Consulting, Inc. met with Mr. Jay Goza who owns the well at 274 1st Avenue. Mr. Goza has allowed access to the well to measure the static level and it was at 10'-6" on November 19, 2019. Mr. Goza indicated that the well has been at its historic levels for the last several years (see attached e-mail from Mr. Goza). ➢ The complaint from Ms. Lida Stout indicates the well was re -drilled because it had gone dry. A slurry wall was constructed in 2017 around the Loloff Pit and a leak test was passed for this slurry wall. Per information from Mr. Goza at his well and which is approximately 650 feet from the Stout well it was likely not dry over the last couple years. J.C. York with J&T Consulting, Inc. contacted Quality Well and Pump and they indicated the water level during drilling of the Stout well was 15 feet and after completion of the well it was 8 feet. Quality Well and Pump also indicated the well was relocated due to it's location being hard to access as the original well was inside a vault under the drive/parking area at this residence. The complaint also states that the well had to be re -drilled to get it further away from the septic system because it was to close. ➢ Only minimal pumping occurred to remove water and storm water remaining in the sealed pit to complete the mining the remainder of 2017, 2018, and 2019 per the approved Substitute Water Supply Plan and accounting with the Division of Water Resources to complete mining in the pit. ➢ Monitor well data was provided with annual reports in previous years for the monitor wells adjacent to the Derr Pit. Monitor data on surrounding wells was provided in 2015 for the Parker, Harrel, and Francis Wells from April through June. The data for readings after that we do not have as it was on a computer that the hard drive is corrupted and files cannot be retrieved. We have been monitoring the adjacent wells where we have Agpro taking monthly readings at the wells shown on the attached maps and the monitor wells at the Derr Pit. ➢ The Monroe well was being taken care of by running dewatering water into a recharge pond adjacent to that well when dewatering was occurring. No dewatering is occurring now because the Loloff Pit is nearly mined out and the slurry wall sealed the pit from groundwater entering the pit. Water levels are higher in the adjacent wells (i.e. Jay Goza and Brian Harrell wells). Monroe has not indicated to us that there are any issues with their well. ➢ The Tyrell well was previously inspected by Quality Well and Pump and the inspection revealed that a bad regulator valve was the issue with the well. The valve was fixed and the well was placed back in operation. This has previously Loloff Construction, Inc. 801 8th Street, Suite 130 Greeley, Colorado 80631 RE: Loloff Construction, Inc. — Loloff Mine — DRMS M1985-112 12/19/19 -3- been documented with DRMS by Superior Oilfield Services who was the operator for the 8th Street Pit. ➢ The Hernandez well was investigated by Quality Well and Pump for Loloff Construction previously and it was determined the well was too close to the septic tank and leach field so it could not be re -drilled. Loloff Construction paid for a water tap from North Weld County Water District (NWCWD) and the construction of the service from NWCWD water main to the Hernandez residence. > The Davis well is being utilized as a monitoring well and measurements are being taken monthly. This well was not being used as the property owned by Global Asset Recovery was placed in a dry up agreement by the previous owners. The well is not dry. > The Taylor well was inspected in October 2019 and pump tested. The static water level was at 15' prior to performing the pump test. The pump produced 13 gpm at a depth of 20 feet. This well is not dry. The well is also being measured monthly and Loloff Construction continues to pay Ms. Taylor's water bill for her water service from NWCWD. ➢ The Francis irrigation well and stock well were also inspected in October 2019 and pump tested. The Francis domestic well was also inspected but was not dry. The wells were not dry. As stated previously we are working with Mr. Francis on his wells. The well readings completed previously by Loloff Construction and DRMS in 2017 and 2018 were similar in depth to the readings in October 2019. Please refer to the attached monitor well and well measurements that Agpro has been providing for Loloff Construction and Broken Arrow Investments.

The following are items that have been accomplished/completed to mitigate groundwater levels: > The slurry wall was installed and completed in 2017 and the leak test passed and was approved by the State Engineer's Office on April 26, 2019. ➢ No dewatering is occurring at the Loloff Mine and mining is nearing completion as well as the reclamation of the mine. > Well levels are being monitored monthly by Ag Pro adjacent to and in the surrounding areas to keep records of depths to static water levels. These will continue to be monitored as part of the monitoring program for the Loloff Mine and the Derr Pit. The following are items that are in progress to mitigate groundwater levels for the Derr Pit: ➢ We met with Mr. Bickling who is representing the Koehler family and provided monitoring information to him. ➢ We have also provided information from the draft groundwater model that we are working to finalize for the Derr Pit as part of the Weld County USR Amendment application. > We are working on an agreement to present to Mr. Bickling on mitigation measures for the Derr Pit. We have not presented the agreement yet as we are working on getting additional information on the existing Koehler wells to help establish the mitigation.

(Loloff) on October 14, 2019. The Division's responses to your specific complaint letter questions are attached. 1. What are the dates when the dewatering started and stopped at the Loloff Mine? There was a pumping log that was to be provided by the operator. Cannot locate the pumping log in the file. The Division does not require the Operator to provide notice of the commencement or termination of dewatering and does not require pumping logs to be submitted to the Division. 2. There is a Dewatering Well Permit No. 77467. This well is not to exceed 127.69 Acre feet. NPDES permit COG -500375 discharge is 3 million gallons per day? Is this correct? The Division does not issue dewatering well permits. Please contact the Colorado Department of Water Resources. 3. A summary of all existing data from the current monitoring well locations is required as part of the DRMS permit. The applicant claims to have recorded ground water levels at the existing permit area on a monthly basis. Cannot file the monthly report on the water levels. The groundwater monitoring data is required to be submitted with the Annual Report for the site on February 4th annually. The annual reports are available on the Division's website at: https://dnrweblink.state.co.us/drms/search.aspx?dbid=0 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, CO 80203 P 303.866.3567 F 303.832.8106 https://colorado.gov/drms Jared S. Polis, Governor I Dan Gibbs, Executive Director I Virginia Brannon, Director Page 2 of 5 January 27, 2020 4. There were signed agreements with Parker, Taylor, Francis, Monroe, Tyrell and Harrell indicating that the operator was going to measure the ground water levels on a monthly basis starting in 2013. Was not able to find the monthly reports in the file? The Owners were not contacted with the water level reports. The groundwater monitoring data is required to be submitted with the Annual Report for the site on February 0 annually. The annual reports are available on the Division's website at: https://dnrweblink.state.co.us/drms/search.aspx?dbid=0 5. There was a violation dated 3-17-15 TR-01 Operator has not monitored the wells as agreed. What was the outcome of the violation? The Division did not issue a violation on March 17, 2015. A problem was cited on March 17, 2015. The problem was addressed by the Operator on April 23, 2015. 6. Could not find the final resolution for the Monroe Well? Permit number 44981. Last report indicated that the operator was filling the pond with the water from the Loloff dewatering? The Operator and Monroe's agreed to recharge the pond with discharge water until dewatering conclude at the site. Please see the attached Operator's response to your question. 7. Could not find the final resolution for the Tyrrell Well. Permit number 134824-A. Last report the owner was looking into the City of Greeley water to be installed on his property. Please see the attached Operator's response to your question. 8. Could not find the final resolution for the Hernandez/Palma well. Permit number 297435. The last report indicated that North Weld County Water District will install a new water tap? Please see the attached Operator's response to your question. J& T Consulting provided a ground water model from McGrane Water Engineering, LLC to predict the ground water levels before and after the slurry wall installation. The report was dated July 13, 2015 and was included in the report dated "2015-09-30 Permit File" starting with page 49. The summary indicates that there will be an increase of .5 to 2 feet on the up gradient wells and a decline in water levels of approximately 1 foot on the down gradient side of the slurry wall. This report was to be used to make sure that the homeowners were not harmed by the dewatering and the installation of the slurry wall. J&T Consulting and the Operator did not complete the measurements as suggested. Page 3 of 5 January 27, 2020 12. The Division engineering staff has reviewed and accepts the MODFLOW model and report dated July 13, 2015 by McGrane Water Engineering, LLC. 13. Please provide mitigation measures for the groundwater mounding and shadowing effects due to the proposed slurry wall to be implemented and trigger points which would put mitigation measures into effect. The mitigation measures must include a scenario for the installation of a French drain to direct groundwater around the slurry wall and restore groundwater levels to the historic elevation in area of groundwater mounding. On page 3 of the report McGrane Water Engineering, LLC recommended (1) Canvasing the area within the area of influence to confirm well locations and determine whether any basements or structures could potentially be impacted. (2) Evaluating whether the existing monitoring well network is adequate to monitor recovery after the slurry wall is installed and installing additional wells if necessary. (3) If actual recovery appears to be excessive, utilize the model to evaluate drain locations and designs (depths and size) to mitigate the situation. Intercepted groundwater could be piped down gradient and recharged to prevent impacts to senior water rights. J &T Consulting and the Operator did not do anything with this modeling report. They did not measure a baseline ground water level on the listed wells before the installation of the slurry wall. The slurry wall was installed 2 years after the date of this modeling report in 2017. They did not measure the post slurry wall ground water levels even two years after the slurry wall was installed. This is the list of the 2019 results from the McGrane report. (Previous owner) (1) Terry Stout (Trujillo) 170 1st Ave Well dry for two years. Owner drilled new well cost $15098.96 in 2019. Will be filing a claim for reimbursement Permit number 23312-A Static water level report 5 feet 2019 Static water level 15 feet (2) Orona old address Route 1 Box 5B well location unknown Permit number 28174 Static water level report 8 feet (3) Palma/Hernandez 160 1st Ave. Well went dry. NWCWD water tap $45,000 paid by Loloff Permit number 297435 Static water level unknown. Cannot re -drill well too close to septic (4) Harrell Eldon 288 1st Ave Permit number 226878 - A Well static water level reported 16 feet Page 4 of 5 January 27, 2020 (5) Jay Goza Trust (Rothe) 274 1st Ave Well was out of water 50% of the time for two years. Permit number 259513 Static water level reported 2 feet 2019 Static water level down (6) Truyello well address unknown 1st Ave Permit number 2947-F Static Water level report 6 feet (7) Harrell Brian 288 1st Ave Well not used, abandoned (8) Dilka well address unknown 1st ave Permit number 44539 Static water level 3 feet (9) Vanbeber well address is unknown Permit number 25941 Static water level reported 2 feet (10) Wadsworth 260 1st Ave. Well abandoned Permit number 19472-F Static water level reported (11) Vanbeber well address unknown Permit number 16038 Static water level reported 4 feet Conclusion for the up gradient: The ground water level decreased between 10 and 15 feet during the dewatering process. Do not know if the slurry wall increased the ground water levels along 1st Ave. The Operator and J& T Consulting did not measure the baseline water levels starting 2 years before the slurry wall was installed, as suggested in the McGrane Report dated July 13, 2015. It appears that the ground water levels along 1st Ave have permanently been lowered by at least 10 feet since the dewatering and slurry wall installation. There has not been any ground water recovery since the slurry wall has been installed. DOWN GRADIENT (1) Varra this well is a dewatering well located in a gravel pit SE of the Loloff pit. Permit number 75865-F (2) Davis Farms This well is actually owned by the Global assets the owner of the Loloff & Derr Pits. Permit number 14960-R Static water level report 31 feet. This well has been dry several years (3) Baab This well had been abandoned since the early 2000s Permit number 620-W Static water level report 9 feet Page 5 of 5 January 27, 2020 (4) Taylor This well has been dry since 2012 Permit number 223885 Static water level report 11 feet Conclusion on the down gradient wells: All of the wells had been abandoned or were dry, years before the report by McGrane July 13, 2015. McGrane suggested that the wells be located and water levels monitored before during and after the slurry wall installation. This report was presented to the Board of County Commissioners in September and J&T Consulting and the Operator did not have an answer to "Why they did not follow up as suggested by McGrane". They asked for a continuance. There will be a Weld County Commissioner's meeting on November 20th covering the USR for the Derr Mining M-2008-017. There might be valuable information for the ORMS in this meeting. Division's response: The complainant did not provide independent data to validate the groundwater measurements provided in the complaint letter and the conclusions provided by the complainant are not supported by the data provided by the complainant and as observed in some of the listed wells by the Division and as measured by the Operator and their consultants. Please see the attached Operator's response to your question. No further action will be taken by the Division based on the well data provided by the complainant.

The maximum annual production from the Derr Pit site is estimated at 250,000 tons. The moisture content of the material hauled off the site for Phases 2 — 7 was assumed to be four percent by weight; this results in an annual amount of 7.4 ac -ft of water retained in the product. Dust control is also required for internal haul roads and stockpiles, however this was not accounted for as Broken Arrow Investments, LLC intend to purchase water from the City of Greeley. The water will be taken from the fire hydrant at Balsam Avenue and Hwy 263 to fill a water truck that will provide dust control. The source of water will not cause a groundwater depletion and is not accounted for in the table below. The maximum total annual consumptive uses associated with Phases 2 — 7 of the mining operation are estimated as follows: 3.4 Evaporation (acre-feet) 7.4 Moisture Retained in Product (acre-feet) TOTAL (acre-feet) 10.8 Between the second and third year of mining, a slurry wall liner will be constructed around the pit. Following mining, a reservoir will be created at the mining site with a surface area of approximately 30.38 acres. Replacement Water The replacement of consumptive uses will be accounted for in a Substitute Water Supply Plan (SWSP) that is administered by the SEO. This plan will be in place prior to mining in Phase 2. Surrounding Water Rights The following index map and table shows the permitted wells within possible influence of the mining and dewatering operations for this site. The well permit map itself was obtained from the Colorado Division of Water Resources' (SEO's) latest online Geographic Information System (GIS). Although there may be other wells in the area, they are not registered and permitted with the SEO. As required by the SEO, a gravel pit well permit will be obtained for the proposed uses of groundwater at the site prior to mining commencing in Phase 2. If the proposed use of groundwater at the Derr Pit site results in material injury to surrounding wells,S, Arrow Investments, LLC I ensure that all necessa actions or measures are taken to address or remedy the injuries. ,J& I' Consulting, Inc. a I 27 Derr Pit Project DMG 112 Permit EXHIBIT II 0 0 Subject: Attachments: FW: Derr Pit Amendment Permit M-20080917 RS Technical Revision.pdf; RS Ex 2 and REgs.pdf ≥S\4t\-a:-we° From: Melvin Bickling <mbick7077@outlook.com> Sent: Monday, May 11, 2020 6:24 AM To: J.C.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Dear JC York and Kelly Hodge: RE: 2MUSR19-08-1660 Global Asset Recovery Request for USR Amendment This is our Resolution Summary as per the request by the BOCC. Although not all inclusive, listed are the main areas of concern for the Surrounding Property Owners. (SPO) 1. Technical Revision similar to the TR Dated August 27, 2013 (copy attached). a. (3.) Exhibit S should include coverage for the Irrigation wells (Hofner/ Winter and Hoshiko) and the domestic and stock wells (Koehler and Parker) within the 200 feet limit. The wells were not listed as Permanent Man - Made Structures within 200 feet of the Affected Land. (copy attached). b. (13.) To mitigate all impacts to permitted wells affected by the dewatering activities, not just the wells within 600 feet of the mining limit. c. (14.) Identify monitoring locations within one mile of Derr Pit and complete monitoring agreements with the SPOs that include monthly ground water measurements and monthly ground water reports to SPOs and the DRMS. Copies of the signed SPO agreements will be provided to the DRMS. The monthly reports will include data from all of the of the monitoring wells in the agreement. d. (16.) Trigger Point of 2 foot change from historic ground water levels is acceptable. If the trigger point has been reached for two consecutive months then a report and mitigation plan will be sent to the SPO and the DRMS. Other mitigation measures that my be necessary if the recharging method is not effective would be (1) working with the well owners that are affected to re -set their existing pumps to a lower level in order to mitigate any flow impacts to the existing well(s); (2) if the method in (1) is not effective then drilling anew well or deepening the existing well or providing water service from the City of Greeley or North Weld Water. e. (24.) Rule 6.4.19 Exhibit S - Permanent Man-made Structures. Attached is the list provided by "Minerals Rules and Regulations of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board For Extraction of Construction Materials" (52)" Structure, Significant, Valuable and Permanent Man-made" means a non -portable 1 improvement conveyance structures, ect. This listing does include water wells within 200 feet. (copy attached) 2. Koehler Irrigation Well. Because the static water level of the irrigation well has gone down over 10 feet since the well was rebuilt in 2012, the current gallons per minute output is not sufficient for what our pivot irrigation system requires. After testing by Quality Well and Pump in April of 2020, they stated 'it is apparent that the increased depth of the pumping level is limiting what the existing pump can do' Their recommendation is to upsize the motor to a 30 HP and make the new pump a 2 stage 12 inch open impeller. We are waiting on the estimate from Quality Well and Pump. The estimate will be sent to you as soon as it is provided by Quality Well and Pump. 3. Crop damages from the dewatering and non-use of the irrigation wells of the SPO. What divides a good farm in Weld County from a great farm in Weld County is a reliable irrigation well. The irrigation well provides the early water to the farm before any ditch water (river or reservoir) is available for crop emergence. During the season the irrigation well provides primary and secondary water if the ditch water is lacking. At the end of the season the water from the irrigation well is the only water available to finish the crop in the fall. We have not been able to finalize a course of action at this time. The crop rent can be either cash rent or share -crop depending on the tenant farmer and land owner agreement. 4. Irrigated berm for the northern boundary of the Amended Derr Pit. If this berm is irrigated it would support the survival of the native grasses and trees in the proposed plan. Please review the provided information and Resolution Summary. If you have any questions please contact me, 970-227-8420 or mbick7077@outlook.com. Regards, Mel Bickling 2 1 August 27, 2013 Mr. Peter Hays Environmental Protection Specialist State of Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, & Safety 1313 Sherman Street — Room 215 Denver, CO 80203 RE; Loloff Construction. Inc. — Loloff Pit — Technical Revision No. 1 Request (TR-01), File No. M-1985-112. Responses to Adequacy Review Comments Dear Mr. Hays, J&T Consulting, Inc. and Loloff Construction, Inc. have reviewed the adequacy review comments. We met with you on August 8. 2013 to discuss the comments to ensure that the responses we are providing in this letter along with revised exhibits would address the comments adequately. Thank you for taking the time to meet with us and discuss the comments as it was very helpful in clarifying the concerns the Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety had with the Technical Revision No. 1 Request. The following are our responses to each of the numbered comments you provided in your July 23. 2013. July 30. 2013, and August 5. 2013 review letters 1. The technical revision was submitted by J&T Consulting, Inc. on behalf of Loloff Construction, Inc. Please provide a signed authorization letter for J&T Consulting, Inc. to perform work and submit material for the Loloff Mine on behalf of Loloff Construction, Inc. Response: The authorization letter from Loloff Construction. Inc. is attached. Rule 6.4.4 Exhibit D - Mining Plan 2. The approved mining plan for the site states the pit will be excavated to a 3H:1V slope from the existing grade to ten (10) feet below the waterline, and at a 2H:1V slope from that point down. The proposed mining states the entire pit slope will be mined at a 3H:1V slope. Please explain how the existing 2H:1V slopes will be backfilled or otherwise established and stabilized at a 3H:1V slope. Response: The pit slopes will be mined at a 3H:1V at all locations for the proposed mining. Where the pit has been mined on the northwest corner, the west side, and the southwest corner the slopes will be backfilled with overburden or gravel to get to a 3H:1V slope, however we are getting survey of these slopes conducted the first week of September and we can assess whether or not the existing slopes are at a 3H:1V slope. 305 Denver Avenue — Su,..: D • Fart Lupton CO 80621 • Ph: 303-857-622? • Fax 303-857-6224 Loloff Construction, Inc. — Loloff Pit — Technical Revision No. 1 Request (TR-01), File No. M-1985-112. Responses to Adequacy Review Comments 8/27/13 -2- 3. Please verify no new manmade structures or easements, including utility easements along Balsam Avenue, have not been constructed within 200 feet of the boundary of the affected lands since the Loloff Mine permit was issued by the Division. Please update Exhibit C — Pre -mining and Mining Plan Map accordingly and submit proof of notice to the new structure or easement owners. Response: Survey of the surrounding structures and utilities will occur the first week of September. We will provide an updated Exhibit C once we have determined the locations from the survey. 4. The revised Mine Plan states since reclamation will occur concurrently with mining, it is not anticipated that bedrock material will be stockpiled long-term prior to use if it is used in the reclamation slopes. The revised mining plan states the pit slopes will be mined to the final 3H:1V slope. Please explain why bedrock material will be used to reclaim the pit slopes and provide an estimate of the anticipated amount of bedrock material needed to complete the slope reclamation. Response: The Mine Plan has been revised to state the following: Mining of the aggregate will progress down to the underlying bedrock. Reclamation will occur concurrently with mining since the mining slope is at a 3H:1 V slope. An estimate of bedrock is not needed since the mining slope will be at a 3H:1 V slope and currently there are no plans to use the bedrock material 5. The revision submittal included calculations to estimate the effects of the dewatering of the pit to address the complaint from Mr. and Mrs. Larry Monroe. Please indicate the impacted Monroe groundwater well on the graphical representation of the estimated cone of depression/radius of influence resulting from the dewatering activities. Response: The location of the impacted well has been included in the revised figure. 6. Please commit to providing the Division a copy of the approved well permit for the state. Response: The approved well permit from the State Engineer's Office (SEO) is attached. Mr. Loloff participated in a phone conference call with the SEO and a potential objector to the well permit on August 14. 2013 and during that call the objector withdrew their protest so we received the approved well permit on August 19, 2013. 305 Denver Avenue — Sub D - Fort Lupton CO 80621 - Ph 303-857-6222 • Fax: 303-857-6224 Loloff Construction, Inc. — Loloff Pit — Technical Revision No. 1 Request (TR-01). File No. M-1985-112, Responses to Adequacy Review Comments 8/27/13 -3- Rule 6.4.7 Exhibit G — Water Information 7. Rule 6.4.7(2) states if the operation is expected to directly affect surface or groundwater systems, you shall: (a) Locate on the map (in Exhibit C) tributary water courses, wells, springs, stock water ponds, reservoirs, and ditches on the affected land and on adjacent lands where such structures may be affected by the proposed mining operations; (b) Identify all known aquifers; and (c) Submit a brief statement or plan showing how water from dewatering operations or from runoff from disturbed areas, piled material and operating surfaces will be managed to protect against pollution of either surface or groundwater (and, where applicable, control pollution in a manner that is consistent with water quality discharge permits), both during and after operation. Response: Please refer to the revised Exhibit G and Exhibit G-1. Exhibit G-1 was used to show the well locations rather than showing them on Exhibit C. 8. Please provide an estimate of the project water requirements including flow rates and annual volumes for the development, mining, and reclamation phases of the project. Response: The annual volume requirements have been provided in the Substitute Water Supply Plan that is attached. 9. Please indicate the projected amount from each of the sources of water to supply the project water requirements for the mining operation and reclamation. Response: The projected amounts from each of the sources of water to supply the project have been provided in the Substitute Water Supply Plan that is attached. 10. The revision states as part of the mitigation plan for recharge Loloff Construction, Inc. is pumping into the Monroe Wetland Pond to recharge the aquifer to mitigate effects of the dewatering of the pit. Please provide a signed agreement between the Operator and the Monroe's allowing the Operator to discharge water into the Monroe pond to recharge the aquifer. Response: The agreement is attached. 3C5 Denver Avenue - Suite D • Fort Lupton CO 80621 • Ph: 303-857-6222 • Fax, 303-857-6224 Loloff Construction, inc. — Loloff Pit — Technical Revision No. 1 Request (TR-01), File No. M-1985-112. Responses to Adequacy Review Comments 8/27/1 3 -4- 11. During the Division's inspection on June 3, 2013, the Operator was discharging water into the ditch located southwest of the site. Please state if water is still being discharged into this structure or if all dewatering discharge is pumped into the Monroe pond. If the ditch in the southwest corner is being used, please provide consent to discharge water into this structure. If water is discharged into a ditch that is unlined, it may be prone to erosion if the discharge rates exceed the carrying capacity of the ditch. The Operator must submit documentation to the Division for review as to the proposed maximum discharge rate into the ditch and specifications as to how much water the ditch can carry without experiencing erosion. Response: Water is being discharged into the ditch in the southwest corner of the site. At this location the water backs up in the ditch and into a pipe that flows into the Monroe pond. The pipe that flows to the Monroe pond acts as an equalization between the ditch and the Monroe pond (i.e. when the water level in the Monroe pond goes down the water from the ditch fills the pond. and when the water level in the Monroe pond increases to an elevation at the invert of the pipe or higher the water level equalizes and the flow continues downstream in the ditch). This ditch is not owned by any entity and is a drainage ditch that has historically carried irrigation runoff from the farm field that is north of the site as well as local drainage from the properties to the west and south of the site. The ditch carries flows south to 8`1' Street into the borrow ditch and ultimately to the Cache La Poudre River. The ditch is being surveyed the first week of September so that we can provide calculations on the capacity of the ditch. The Operator has placed cobble around the location of the discharge into the ditch to armor this location such that erosion will be mitigated and the ditch will be protected. 12. The revision states Loloff Construction proposes to install a recharge ditch along the west side of the pit to mitigate impacts if there are impacts from the dewatering to the other wells adjacent to the pit that are within 600 feet of the mining limit. Please provide the design criteria for installing the recharge ditch, provide the dimensions and describe how the ditch would be constructed and reclaimed. Response: The recharge ditch dimensions and design criteria are attached and included on Exhibit C. 13. Please note the Division will require Loloff Construction to mitigate all impacts to permitted wells affected by the dewatering activities, not just the wells within 600 feet of the mining limit. Response: Loloff Construction, Inc. understands that if wells outside 600 feet of the mining limit are proven to be affected by the mining operation dewatering that Loloff Construction, Inc. would be required to mitigate the impacts. 3(J5 Denver Avenue - Sure C • Fort Lupton CO 80621 • Ph: 303-857-6222 • Fax: 303-857-6224 Loloff Construction, Inc. — Loloff Pit — Technical Revision No. 1 Request (TR-01). File No. M-1985-112. Responses to Adequacy Review Comments 8/27/13 -5- 14. The revision does not identify monitoring locations along the north, south, and most of the west boundaries of the site. Please commit to installing piezometers along these boundaries. Response: Loloff Construction, Inc. has received permission from several well owners and monitor well owners that are adjacent to the north, west. south, and east boundaries of the pit. We would like to use these locations to monitor rather than drilling additional piezometers at this time. Agreements are attached for each well owner and their consent to allow Loloff Construction. Inc. to monitor the groundwater levels in their wells. 15. Please state if all registered alluvial wells within 600 feet were identified based on SEO records and if field inspections conducted to identify ALL wells within 600 feet. Please identify all wells within 600 feet of the pit on Exhibit C — Pre - Mining Plan map. Response: All wells within 600 feet have been identified and field inspections were conducted by Mr. Don Loloff. The well locations are attached in the Exhibit G and Exhibit G-1 map. 16. The Operator states should levels in the existing wells change by 2-4 feet then Loloff Construction, inc. will mitigate by recharging at locations along the pit to increase the levels of the groundwater so that the impact from dewatering is minimized. Please provide justification for the proposed 2-4 feet trigger. Typically, a trigger point of 2 feet change from historic ground water levels is acceptable. The Operator must explain any mitigation measures to be implemented and trigger points that would put mitigation measures into effect if the recharging method of mitigation is not effective. Response: The Operator is fine with changing the trigger point from 2-4 feet to 2 feet. Other mitigation measures that may be necessary if the recharging method is not effective would be (1) working with the well owners that are affected to re -set their existing pumps to a lower level in order to mitigate any flow impacts to the existing well(s); (2) if the method in (1) is not effective then drilling a new well or deepening the existing well or providing water service from the City of Greeley or North Weld Water. 17. The revision states Mr. Don Loloff is pursuing agreements with the existing well owners within 600 feet of the mining limit of the pit. Please provide the Division with signed copies of the agreements when available or provide evidence the appropriate notice was provided to the well owners. Response: The agreements that have been obtained are attached. The other agreements are being negotiated and certified mail was sent to Kohloff and Taylor. 4 " 305 Denver Avenue — Suite D - Fort Lupton CO 80621 • Phi: 303-857-6222 • Fax 303-857-6224 IA Loloff Construction, Inc. — Loloff Pit— Technical Revision No. 1 Request (TR-01).

The revision states Mr. Loloff is pursuing agreements to use the existing wells from Mr. Harrell, Mr. and Mrs. Monroe, and Mr. Francis to take groundwater level measurements to monitor the depth of the groundwater adjacent to the pit. Please provide the Division with signed copies of the agreements. Response: The agreements that have been obtained are attached. The other agreements are being negotiated and certified mail was sent to Koh/off and Taylor. 19. The revision states Loloff Construction will note the groundwater depths in the Derr Pit monitoring wells, Mr. Harrell's well, Mr. and Mrs. Monroe's well and Mr. Francis's well to monitor these levels throughout the course of the mining. Please commit to providing the Division with a copy of the monthly groundwater levels as a part of the annual report for the site. Response: Loloff Construction, inc. will provide the monthly readings as part of the annual report for the site. 20. Please provide a copy of the agreement between Loloff Construction, Inc. and Broken Arrow Investments, LLC, operator of the Derr Pit, allowing Loloff to monitor groundwater depths in the Derr Pit monitoring wells. Response: The agreement is attached. 21. Division staff is reviewing the hydrologic impact model prepared for the Loloff Mine. An additional adequacy review letter may follow pertaining to the hydrologic impact model submitted with the revision. Response: Responses to those comments are on included on Page 9 and 10 of this response letter. Rule 6.4.12 Exhibit L — Reclamation Costs 22. The proposed mining and reclamation plans for the site includes dewatering of the pit, the bond calculation for this site must include costs related to dewatering of the pit to account for the costs incurred by the State of Colorado if water had to be removed from the pit in order to establish the proper reclaimed slopes along the pit wall. Please include an estimate for the dewatering activities in the financial warranty estimate. Response: The estimate for dewatering activities for the entire pit is approximately 1,400 acre- feet once it is mined down to bedrock at the 3H:1V V slopes for reclamation. Currently the mine is at approximately 40% of this volume based on the previous exposed water surface area. Therefore the estimated dewatering volume for the current 305 Denver Avenue — Suite D • Fort Lupton CO 80621 • Ph: 303-857-6222 • Fax: 303-857-6224 rdlI Loloff Construction, Inc. — Loloff Pit — Technical Revision No. 1 Request (TR-01), File No. M-1985-112, Responses to Adequacy Review Comments 8/27/13 - 7 - mining is approximately 560 acre -ft. It would also be possible to breakdown the costs of dewatering into phases which we would like to discuss with you after the surveying is complete. 23. The Division will estimate the cost to reclaim the site based on the information submitted once the Applicant addresses the concerns noted in this letter. Response: No response. 24. The Loloff Mine is not in compliance with the Division's letter dated April 30, 2010 regarding the long-term groundwater augmentation requirement for the site. On September 6, 2012, the Division, the Loloff's and their representatives met to discuss the situation and determine possible alternatives to achieve compliance for the Loloff Mine. The Operator has not complied with the requirements of the Division's letter to date and has not proposed alternatives to achieve compliance. The Operator must comply with the Office of the State Engineer's requirement for out -of -priority groundwater depletions as part of this technical revision. The applicant must choose one of the following bonding options to be included in the financial warranty calculation to address the long-term groundwater augmentation requirement for the site: a. Backfill the pit to two feet above the groundwater level b. Install a slurry wall or clay liner c. Provide the Division with documentation from the SEO, which demonstrates the Operator owns a sufficient amount of shares of water to cover the evaporative losses from the exposed groundwater and the said shares have been committed to the SEO should the financial warranty be forfeited and the permit revoked. Response: A response under separate cover from Loloff Construction. Inc.'s legal council wilt be provided to the Division.

Please provide the Division evidence the Operator attempted to obtain notarized structure agreements, typically a certified mail receipt, with all owners of structures on and within 200 feet of the affected area at the Loloff Mine prior to performing the submitted engineering evaluation. Response: Agreements have been sent to structure and utility owners. Certified mail receipts are attached. Rule 6.5 — Geotechnical Stability Exhibit 26. Division staff is reviewing the stability analysis prepared for the Loloff Mine. An additional adequacy review letter may follow pertaining to the geotechnical stability section of the revision. Response: Responses to those comments are on included on Page 10 and 11 of this response letter. 27. The Overview section of the Slope Stability Report dated July 2013 states the proposed future use for this property is water storage reservoir. The approved post -mine land use for the Loloff Mine is Wildlife Habitat, not Developed Water Resource. If the Operator intends to change the post -mine land use they must submit an amendment application. Response: The post -mine land use is not changing and will remain as Wildlife Habitat. The report language has been changed to reflect this. Hydrology 1. The methodology uses "equilibrium well equations" from Driscoll. The application is for a pit with a 600 -foot radius. Please provide additional justification for the use of well equations for a very large (pit) opening.

The selected hydraulic conductivity appears to fall into a reasonable range for gravel pit material (clean sand K can range between 100 and 60,000 gal/day/sq- ft). However, the method used is extremely sensitive to this parameter. A quick check using your methodology indicates increasing K to just 1,500 (still well within the range for clean sand) increases the radius of influence by more than 1,000 ft. Please provide justification for the selected hydraulic conductivity or use a value that can be justified. Response: The hydraulic conductivity (K,) has been determined using the current dewatered state of the mine (Case 1). Dewatering is currently being done at a rate of 1.200 gpm, 12 hours per day, for an average dewatering rate of 600 gpm per day (Q). The water level in the pit (h) is currently at a steady state of 12 feet below the historic groundwater lever. Using a natural recharge rate (W) of 5% of the average annual precipitation for the Greeley, CO area, the hydraulic conductivity was found to be 255 m/d when h was set to 12 ft and Q was set to 600 gpm. This Kry value has been used in all calculations. Please see the attached revised calculations. 3. The Division does not follow the logic in case 2 for reducing the hydraulic conductivity 33% to account for the recharge being 33% of the pumping rate. Please elaborate on this assumption. Response: The drawdown calculations have been revised based on the references the DRMS has provided in the adequacy review to estimate the impact to the groundwater elevations from the dewatering of the pit. Please see the attached revised calculations 4. Please replace the calculation of aquifer drawdown from pit pumping with a calculation using the method described by Marinelli and Niccoli, 2000 (Ground Water, vol. 38, no. 2). Please include calculations for the maximum radius of influence and the expected drawdown at a horizontal distance of 800 feet outside the west side of the pit. The method described in your submittal does not appear to adequately account for aquifer recharge. Figure 7 of Arnold et al, 2003 (USGS Water Resources Investigations Report 02-4267) indicates drawdown at the 800 -foot distance would be approximately 10 feet. Response: We are using these references to estimate the impact to the groundwater elevations from the dewatering of the pit. The methodology was used to analyze the radius of influence and drawdown that would result from dewatering of the pit under the current dewatered depth and under full pit dewatered depth. A summary of each analysis is as follows: 1. Current dewatered depth (12 feet below historic groundwater level) a.

File No. M-1985-112, Responses to Adequacy Review Comments 5/27/13 - 10- i. Maximum radius of influence outside the limit of the pit will be 14.422 feet. b Case 2: I Expected drawdown at a horizontal distance of 800 feet (Monroe Well) outside the limit of the pit will be 4.2 feet. c. Case 3: i. Drawdown at the Derr Pit Monitoring Well No. 1. at a horizontal distance of 235 outside the limit of the pit. was calculated to be 5.8 feet. This result was compared to actual monitoring well measurements taken for Derr Pit Monitoring Well No. 1 which show 2.75 feet of groundwater drawdown since June 1. 2013 when dewatering pumping started. Based on this comparison the methodology appears to overestimate the actual drawdown and radius of influence due to the dewatering of the pit that will be seen adjacent to this specific site/location. 2. Full dewatered depth (37 feet below historic groundwater level) a, Case 4: i. Maximum radius of influence outside the limit of the pit will be 42.040 feet. b. Case 5: i. Expected drawdown at a horizontal distance of 800 feet outside the limit of the pit (Monroe Well) will be 18.9 feet c. Case 6: i Horizontal distance of 18.358 feet where a drawdown level of 2 feet will be seen. Please see the attached revised calculations. The methodology used in the references the DRMS has provided in the adequacy review assumes that groundwater recharge is uniformly distributed across the water table. Using this methodology no valid recharge calculations can be used to estimate the impact of localized recharge at a single location. As previously mentioned Loloff Construction will monitor the wells adjacent to the site and mitigate any adverse impacts to these wells. Slope Stability Analysis 1. The TR-1 request included changing the mining method to dewater the existing pond to mine under dry conditions at a 3:1 slope. It is my understanding that the final land use will remain wildlife habitat and include a pond. In general, the stability report was well written and adequately addressed the slope stability for the pit during the proposed mining activity described in the TR. Response: No response. 305 Denver Avenue - 5uitr..

Responses to Adequacy Review Comments 8/27/13 2. Balsam Avenue runs along the eastern edge of the site. There are a number of underground utility lines associated with this road alignment. The analysis should be sure to include effects on and from these utilities, including the possibility of water being introduced from a leaking sewer or water line. Response: The slope stability analysis does take into effect the structures including the roadway and utilities and that is one of the reasons for mining at a 31-1:1V slope to ensure there is an acceptable factor of safety such that the mining would not impact these structures and utilities. Trying to incorporate a leaking sewer or water line in the modeling is not possible because we are looking at gradients in regard to the ground water levels. Also if a pipe is leaking and the leak causes a slope failure that failure is not due to the mining and therefore would not be caused by the mining. We understand the concern and the Operator will conduct inspections on the pit walls during the mining and if there appears to be a leaking pipe the Operator will be sure to contact the utility owners to have them check their pipelines to make sure there is not a leak or that if there is a leak it can be repaired immediately. 3. The water level used in the analysis is approximately 12 feet below the ground surface on the unaffected ground. This may not accurately reflect seasonally high conditions, or conditions after the mine is flooded with water. Response: The 12 feet was selected based on previous information from the subsurface investigation. We understand the concerns and have included more calculations to change the depth to 3 feet below the surface for the ground water level. Please see the attached calculations and revised slope stability analysis. 4. The analysis sections are depicting "dry" conditions that would be found during mining while the site is being dewatered. The stability should also be analyzed in "wet" conditions that would represent post -mining conditions for the long term stability. Response: The analysis has been updated to include wet" conditions as well. Please see the attached calculations and revised slope stability analysis. 5. The report includes good recommendations for monitoring the slope stability. However, it may be prudent to modify the inspections outlined in recommendation #1 and #4 on page 5 to a weekly basis for the duration of mining, then for 6 months post -mining. Response: The analysis has been updated to reflect the weekly inspections. Please see the revised slope stability analysis. yr 305 Denver Avenue — Sutr'' D • Fort Lupton CO 80621 • Ph: 303-857-6222 • Fax: 303-857-6224 Lotoff Construction.

Every time I leave my home, the drive to 8th Street is untenable. Kelly Hodge keeps saying that (whomever?) is going to pave Balsam Avenue, the pot holes are wrecking my car. I really don't want to sue anyone re: the damage to my car, but something has to be done (now!). Your Commission apparently has more clout than I. So, mayhap you could goose them along! Eighth Street is an automobile hazard also but assume the City is `trying' to do something about it. I was somewhat confused about some of the information that Kelly Hodge and JC went over with me. AM I want to be sure of is that the above referenced people have NO plans to dig a gravel pit across from my home, where the is a pond where the birds and various amphibians abide. I very much enjoy the birds and listening to frogs, etc. So PLEASE! don't let them mess that up too! I'm 78 years old and have Asthma and Bronchitis. Because of the dust created by the trucks and the street sweeper (what a joke that is) and the road is NEVER EVER being watered, my condition has become worse.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Kim — Attached is the most recent agreement we provided to Rocky Francis. I delivered a hard copy and put in his mailbox as I was instructed to do so by Rocky on March 17th. I asked him to review and get back to us to see if we could enter into an agreement to rehab his existing irrigation well and also pay for the two alluvial domestic wells (one for his original property and one for the property he purchased from Kohloff) to be re -drilled in the alluvial aquifer or to that depth. He wanted to drill these two domestic wells and permit them to also include stock watering, by doing this he indicated that his stock well did not need to be looked at to rehab. We had several discussions in November and again in February when we provided the first agreement. He is planning to drill the domestic wells deeper into the Laramie Fox Hills aquifer but said that was his choice for the domestic wells. We had Quality Well and Pump perform a pump test on his irrigation well on October 17th and then they videoed the well on October 21St. We also had Quality Well and Pump inspect his stock well and the inspection found that the existing column pipe had rusted and broke from the submersible pump in the bottom of the well.
