The proposed permit area is part of an agricultural parcel of land currently utilized by the owner for crop production. The parcel is located at the southeast corner of Weld County Road 74 and Weld County Road 13 and the proposed permit area is located on the south side of the parcel . There is an improved gravel farm road that connects the proposed permit area with Weld County Road 74. Adjacent land uses are mainly agricultural and semi-rural residential . The proposed .9-acre permit area contains more rocky soils than the rest of the parcel , making it less agriculturally productive. Soils include Olney fine sand loam and Cascajo gravely sandy loam. Overburden material is primarily composed of red and brown silty clay material . Test pits have verified that soils are generally thin (less than 4 inches thick) and the soil/overburden layer ranges from 2 to 4 feet deep across the proposed permit area. The Olney soils are typical of slightly saline soils found on sandy plains . They are generally well drained, non-hydric, and classified in Hydrologic Soil Group B . The Cascajo soils are more rocky than the Olney soils and are commonly found in gravel breaks and outcrops . The Cascajo soils are excessivelywell drained, have infiltration and low runoff potential , and are classified in Hydrologic Soil Group A . Vegetationwithin the proposed permit area has been heavily disturbed by past agricultural activities . Native grasses and shrubs such as blue grama, western wheatgrass , little bluestem, sideoats grama, sagebrush, soapweed, and pricklypear. Although these species are still present, most of the site is dominated by cheatgrass, kochia, thistle, and other weedy species. No jurisdictional wetlands are known to exist on-site . There are few man-made structures within the proposed permit boundary. A gas pipeline owned by the Sinclair Pipeline Company bisects the proposed permit area. Two water pipelines owned by the City of Greeley are immediately north of the site and the Lake Canal Ditch owned by the Lake Canal Reservoir Company is immediately south of the site. No other man-made structures are known to exist on or near the proposed permit area. There are no natural surface water resources , lakes, streams , or springs, on or near the proposed permit area. Depth to groundwater is not known, but well records obtained from the Colorado State Engineer' s Office suggest that depth to groundwater could be from 30 to 40 feet below the ground surface. The Lake Canal Ditch is near the south side of the proposed permit boundary. Near the ditch, a seasonal, localized, perched groundwater system may be created from ditch seepage. Criticalwildlife is not likely to exist in the proposed permit area due to historic land disturbances and lack of native vegetation and habitat. The proximity of the Lake Canal Ditch may provide limited seasonal water habitat for amphibians such as the Great Plains Toad and reptiles such as Harmony Gardens Site DRA1S Limited Impact I /O Permit Application Page 5 the Plains Garter Snake . Waterfowl such as the Mallard Duck and Canadian Goose may also make use of the ditch when it is carrying water. The ditch may also provide a travel corridor for bird species such as sparrows and warblers and large and small mammals such as muskrat, rabbit, deer, fox, and coyote . However, the continued length of the ditch provides additional habitat for any potentially temporary displacement of wildlife using the ditch and, therefore, the limited area and length of the mining operation should not have a significant impact on wildlife in the area. Harmony Gardens Site DRUS Limited Impact 110 Permit Application Page 6 EXHIBIT Mining Plan The proposed Harmony Gardens Site permit area contains verified aggregate resources . Although limited, the new supply will provide construction materials to meet the northern Colorado demand. Introduction and Overview Connell Resources anticipates mining and reclaiming the proposed Harmony Gardens Site in approximately four (4) months . However, the rate of mining and overall life of the mine is dependent on several factors including product demand. Test pits have verified that commercial deposits of sand and gravel exist to about 10 feet below the surface of the ground. In addition to the commercial sand and gravel materials , clay , silt, and other non-marketable materials excavated from the proposed permit area will be used on-site for reclamation. Traditional organic topsoil on most of the site is thin (less than 4 inches thick) , but is thickest in areas where crop production was most common. Most of the soils are sandy barns that are well drained . The topsoil and overburden will be stripped separately prior to mining the deposit and stockpiled or used immediately for reclamation. Due to the small mining area, plans currently include mining in just two phases — the mining areas west (Phase I) and east (Phase II) of the Sinclair pipeline (see Exhibit B, Mining Plan Map) . An internal haul road will cross the Sinclair pipeline . There is an improved gravel farm road that connects the proposed permit area with Weld County Road 74. Even though the proposed permit area will be mined in two phases, integration of mining and reclamation is still applicable within each phase. In general, as the pit reaches its maximum depth and edges are completed , they will be backfilled and reclaimed. In areas where the final pit depth has been achieved and operations are no longer present, backfilling and reclamation of pit walls will extend onto the floor. The only water used on-site for production will be for dust control . Water for dust control will be trucked to the site from other locations . Therefore , no new water demands will occur on the proposed Harmony Gardens Site. Mining Methods Groundwater is not expected to be encountered during mining and the deposit will be dry mined. Mining will occur within 200 feet of the Lake Canal Ditch, however, depth of mining will not reach the elevation of the ditch and intercepting ditch seepage is not anticipated. Mining will proceed by first stripping and stockpiling topsoils and overburden , The exposed gravel will then be removed in lifts and screened and/or transported offsite for processing. Since the material is unconsolidated deposits , no blasting is required. Harmony Gardens Site DRMS Limited Impact 110 Permit Application Page 7 Earth Moving Areas to be mined are prepared by removal of topsoil and overburden. Each preparation area may be 100 feet or more in front of the mining operation. Where it is found, surface topsoil material will be stripped separate from the underlying, deeper subsoil or overburden material . This topsoil layer contains most of the soils organic matter and will be stockpiled separately for use in reclamation. Once the surface layer has been removed, the rest of the overburden will be stripped and stockpiled separate from the surface layer. Due to the short time frame of the r ining operation, it is anticipated that stockpiles will not remain through a growing season. Therefore, the stockpiles will not be seeded for stabilization . During mining and prior to reclamation , the mining face and walls will be a nearly vertical to 1/2H: 1V slope (see Exhibit E, Mining Plan Map) . Mining will progress down to the depth of quality aggregate material or about 10 feet below the surface . As the mining face progresses, pit sidewalls will behind the mining activities will be reclaimed. So that reclamation activities do not interfere with mining operations, pit sidewalls may extend 300 feet behind the active mining face without being reclaimed. The aggregate material will be recovered using equipment typical for sand and gravel mining operations . Earth moving equipment may include, but are not limited to dozers, loaders , scrapers , and excavators . The aggregate material from the pit will be temporarily stockpiled within the pit or transported directly for processing or off the site. During mining and reclamation activities, watering trucks for dust control will be used as needed. Setbacks from the mine pit top of slope to the proposed permit boundary or man-made structures not owned by the applicant will be 20 feet or greater. For setbacks adjacent to a man-made structure not owned by the applicant that are less than 20 feet, an agreement will obtained from the property owner or an engineering slope stability analysis will be performed. Setbacks from near vertical mining excavations to the permit boundary will be a minimum of 20 feet. Topsoil and overburden material excavated from the pit will be stockpiled and used for backfilling mine pit slopes and other reclamation activities . The non- marketable material stockpiles will be created adjacent to the areas that will be backfilled or on the pit floor. When sufficient material is available in the stockpile, the material will be backfilled into previously mined areas. The side slopes of the mine pit will be backfilled, graded to a minimum 3H : 13H : IN slope, and seeded as mining progresses . Approximately 4, 150 feet of pit side slopes will be created during mining . Since reclamation is anticipated to be concurrent with mining operations, the actual length of side slope requiring backfilling and grading at any point in time is expected to be far less than 4, 150 feet. The majority of the pit depth is anticipated to be near 10 feet high. Once backfilling and final grading has been completed in an area, the top of the slope and the side slopes will be seeded as soon as practicable (based on first available seeding season) . Since reclamation will take place concurrently with mining , large and long-term topsoil and overburden stockpiling is not anticipated. Topsoil and overburden stockpiles will be configured to have side-slopes no steeper than 2H: 1 V. If the stockpiles are inactive for more than one growing season they will be seeded with the fast growing grass seed mixture in the table below . However, since the stockpile materials will continually be used for reclamation, the stockpiles Harmony Gardens Site DBMS Limited Impact 110 Permit Application Page 8 will likely be disturbed on a frequent basis and seeding the stockpiles may not be practical during the course of the operation . If stockpile seeding is not used, surface roughening will be maintained to limit wind and water erosion. Stockpile Grass Seed Mixture Rate Grass Species (lbs PISS/acre) Intermediate Wheatgrass 5 ..0 Blue Grama 1 .0 Tritic ale (sterile hybrid) 1 .25 Rates are for broadcast seeding . In order to gain an understanding of the extent of the mining operation, it is helpful to know the acres disturbed by different aspects of the mining operation . Each aspect is listed in the following table with associated disturbed area. The table illustrates a point in time where the mining disturbance could be at its maximum. At the proposed Harmony Gardens Site , it is assumed that the mining disturbance could be at its greatest after mining is complete. During this scenario, no reclamation will have been performed, leaving approximately 4 ,000 feet of side slope for backfilling. In the worst-case scenario, reclamation will begin and progress after all mining operations are complete.

Stormwater that falls directly on disturbed areas will generally drain to the mine pit and be allowed to infiltrate. The active mine pit will effectively contain stormwater flows and prevent surface runoff from disturbed areas off the site . Stormwater not encountering disturbed areas will be allowed to drain as it did prior to mining. Material Processing and Associated Facilities A portable processing facility for product screening may be brought to the site and used as needed. The facility will be located within the pit close to where active mining is occurring . A fueling/lubricating station, generators, and outdoor storage may also be located near the portable processing facility. Pit run material will be hauled to the processing facility where raw material and product stockpiles will be located. Alternatively, the material may be hauled off- site as pit run for direct use or processing elsewhere. Commodities to be Mined and Intended Use Sand and gravel for use as construction materials will be the primary products produced from the proposed Harmony Gardens Site. Test pits have verified that commercial deposits of sand and gravel exist to about 10 feet below the surface of the ground. In addition to the commercial sand and gravel materials, clay, silt, and other non-marketable topsoil and overburden materials will be used on-site for reclamation. Use of Explosives Since the material is unconsolidated deposits, no explosives or blasting is required. Harmony Gardens Site !RMS Limited Impact 110 Permit Application Page 10 EXHIBIT D Reclamation Plan This plan covers reclamation the proposed Harmony Gardens Site. Final Proposed Land Use The current land use for the Harmony Gardens Site property is agriculture. The use of this land is not expected to change. Most of the land surrounding the proposed permit area has similar agricultural uses . With so much open, undeveloped land in the surrounding area, maintaining this land as general agriculture is consistent with the more regional land uses . General Overview of the Reclamation Plan Reclamation of the proposed permit area is fairly straightforward. After mining and reclamation, the pit(s) will be dry depressions approximately 10 feet deep with 3H:1 3H: 1V side slopes. Reclaimed mine pit side slopes will be created from backfill with overburden and topsoil will be spread on both the side slopes and pit bottom to establish a plant growth medium. All areas disturbed by mining activities will be prepared with topsoil and overburden and revegetated during reclamation. Revegetation will generate a blend of grass species and, given suitable precipitation, should produce good vegetation cover over all of the reclaimed site . In general, shallower reclaimed slopes will provide easier access during reclamation and safer access for ranching equipment following mining. Shallower slopes will also aid in establishing vegetation growth and minimize erosion . Although pit side slopes will be backfilled le.d and graded as shallow as possible, no slopes will be reclaimed any steeper than 31-1: 1V. Grading of pit side slopes and the pit bottom will attempt to adhere to the surrounding natural topography and drainage patterns . The portable processing facility and any other structures associated with mining will be removed from the site during final reclamation activities . Roads not necessary for future access and other disturbed areas will be reclaimed with topsoil and overburden replacement and vegetative cover to stabilize the areas and minimizeerosion. Reclamation Measures Materials Handling All available overburden and topsoil material will be used for backfilling. Similar to mining, earth moving equipment may include, but are not limited to dozers, loaders , scrapers, and excavators. Additional farm equipment for grading and seeding may be used for revegetation activities . Materials Handling - Ba ckfihling The pit floor will receive only enough backfill to create final grading and to establish a growth medium for revegetation. The pit slopes will require backfilling to achieve final reclaimed slopes of at least 3H: 1 V (see Exhibit E , Reclamation Plan Map) . Because of the pit size and Harmony Gardens Site DBMS Limited Impact HO Permit Application Page I I possible limited overburden, it may not be possible to achieve complete side slope reclamation by backfilling with available overburden material . The result is , depending upon the amount of overburden material recovered and available for reclamation , side slope backfilling may need to be enhanced with additional material from the pit floor. Using material from the pit floor will make the pit slightly deeper, but all slopes will still be maintained at 3H: 1V or shallower. Additional material required, if any, will be determined during mining as overburden material quantities and pit depths are verified. Materials Handling - Grading The 3H: 1V pit side slopes will be graded to transition into the relatively flat pit floor. Grading of the pit floor may leave a subtle rolling topography rather than a completely flat bottom depending on varying depths of the sand and gravel deposit. The side slopes will also not be graded smooth, but will contain a low profile ridging pattern that follows the contour. Final grading that leaves this type of ridging pattern helps to capture water for plant growth as well as reduce the velocity of runoff and slope erosion. On these slopes , erosion may present a maintenance issue for the first year or two of revegetation if there are large, drenching thunderstorms , but more normal low intensity thunderstorms should not create more than minor rilling. All backfilling and grading will be done to stabilize the material and control erosion. Final grading and seeding will be done as soon as possible after backfilling, grading, and top soiling have been completed. There will not be known toxic or hazardous materials in the backfill material . The reclamation will not leave high walls on the property . In addition, there will be no auger holes, excavations , or shafts left on the property. Topsoil and Revegetation The growth medium for revegetation will be a combination of overburden and topsoils. Unfortunately, there is not a large quantity of quality topsoil available at the site . Because of its thin occurrence, true topsoil stripping will likely incorporate some of the underlying silty clay overburden material . Every effort will be made to separate true topsoil stripping, but even with the incorporation of some overburden material, it is not anticipated that large quantities of the topsoil/overburden growth medium will be available for reclamation. Because of its limited availability , the topsoil/overburden growth medium may not be placed evenly over the entire site . The floor of the pit will likely need less growth medium because moisture accumulation there will help vegetation growth and new soil development. Therefore, only about 2 inches of the topsoil/overburden growth medium will be placed on the pit floor. The same dressingwill be used for areas where stockpiles , access roads, o►r mining structures have been removed and the underlying material has been scarified in preparation for reclamation. A minimum of 4 inches of growth medium will be placed on backfilled pit slopes . The extra thickness of growth medium will help to retain moisture on the slopes and provide a deeper rooting zone to help protect against erosion. For slopes created by backfilling, growth medium will go on top of a considerable depth of overburden. When spreading growth medium on slopes , the same requirements for general grading will be followed. Final grading prior to Harmony Gardens Sire DEWS Limited Impact 110 Permit Application Page 12 seeding will only follow the contours of the slope, creating ridging patterns that follow the contour, and will never produce tracks up and down the slope . Planting of the site will be done as areas are finished with preparation after grading and spreading topsoil/overburden growth medium. Planting will occur seasonally to allow for timely germination with available moisture and to provide the highest possibility for growth success . If possible, planting will be performed between mid-November and the end of April . Drill seeding is the preferred method for revegetation. Grass seed should be planted with a drill equipped with depthbands and press wheels . On this site, broadcast seeding is not advisable as seed burial would be limited. If broadcast seeding is necessary on moist soils, steep slopes , or in excessively rocky areas , success can be encouraged by broadcasting onto growth medium that is very loose, such as occurs immediately after spreading the plant growth medium. If the seed is broadcast in those circumstances , then the seeded area will be dragged to help bury the seed At this time, no mulch or fertilizer is being proposed. On west and south facing slopes, mulch may be applied if desired, but only if the mulch is very strongly crimped into the soil , on this site, straw mulch, unless well anchored would most likely just blow away, providing little benefit. If mulch is used, certified weed-less straw mulch at a rate of 2,000 pounds per acre should be applied . Fertilizer may be applied to re-soiled areas in a manner that will encourage emergence and survival of the grasses without encouraging competition from weeds . Starter fertilizer could be applied before, or at the time of, seeding. If necessary, full fertilization will be applied after emergence . However, any fertilization done following seeding should be done using a method that does not cause large scale disturbance of the surface. Fertilizer mixtures will be based upon soil tests made on samples taken from re-soiled areas prior to seeding. The seed mixture for the proposed permit area provides a native grass seed mix and is listed below . Revegetation Seed Mix Rate Grass Species (lbs PL /acre) Blue Grama 5 .0 Western Wheatgrass 3 .0 Sideoats Gram a 1 .0 r TOTAL 9.0 Rates are for drill seeding. If broadcast seeding is used, double seeding rates . Harmony Gardens Site DRMS Limited Impact 110 Permit Application Page 13 If a significant invasion of noxious weeds occurs after seeding , the weeds will be mowed before they can go to seed . The areas will be mowed periodically for additional control as needed. Mechanical control will be used as a first priority . Chemical methods will only be used if no other alternative produces acceptable results . Periodic inspection for noxious weeds , at least once a year early in the season, will be done. The weed inspection will search for not only the expected species but also any new List A or B species introductions. It is likely that non-noxious and List C species will also be found. Non- noxious weeds, which are often native invaders, will also be controlled to the extent practicable . List C noxious species are problematic but are usually not as serious as List B species . List B species in Colorado and utilized for Weld County weed management include : Absinth wormwood, Black henbane, Bouncingbet, Bull thistle, Canada thistle, Chinese clematis , Common tansy, Common teasel, Corn chamomile, Cutleaf teasel, Dalmatian toad.flax, Dame ' s rocket, Diffuse knapweed, Eurasian watermilfoil, Hoary cress, Houndstongue, Jointed goatgrass, Leafy spurge , Mayweed chamomile, Moth mullein, Musk thistle, Oxeye daisy, Perennial pepperweed, Plumeless thistle, Quackgrass , Russian knapweed, Russian-olive, Salt cedar, Scentless chamomile, Scotch thistle, Spotted knapweed, Spurred anoda, Sulfur cinquefoil, Venice mallow, Wild caraway, Yellow nutsedge, and Yellow toadflax . All List A species must be eradicated by law. These weeds include African rue, Bohemian knotweed, Camelthorn , Common crupina, Cypress spurge, Dyer' s woad, Elongated mustard, Giant knotweed, Giant salvinia, Hydrilla, Japanese knotweed, meadow knapweed, Mediterranean sage, Medusahead, Myrtle spurge, orange hawkweed, Purple loosestrife, Rush skeletonweed, Squarrose knapweed, Tansy ragwort, and Yellow starthistle. The current complete list of noxious weed species and local management plans is available from the Weld County Weed Division. Water — General No groundwater is expected to be encountered in the mining and therefore groundwater in the area should not be affected. Groundwater is not expected to beencountered during mining and the deposit will be dry mined. Mining will occur within 200 feet of the Lake Canal Ditch, however, depth of mining will not reach the elevation of the ditch and intercepting ditch seepage is not anticipated. The only water used on- site for production will be for dust control. Water for dust control will be trucked to the site from other locations . Therefore, no new water demands will occur on the proposed Harmony Gardens Site. No irrigation will be used in establishing the vegetation, so no water rights are required for those purposes. No water storage will occur in the pit. To minimize the effect on the prevailing hydrologic balance, the operator shall : a. Comply with all applicable Colorado water laws. b . Comply with all applicable Federal and State water quality laws and regulations. c . Comply with all Federal and State requirements for dredge and fill. d. Perform all work to minimize erosion and sediment transport. Harmony Gardens Site DR 'S Limited Impact 110 Permit Application Page 14 Buildings and Structures There are no existing buildings or structures in the proposed permit area and no structures will be left following reclamation . Signs and Markers Permit notification signs will be placed and maintained at the entrance to the operation . The permit boundary will be identified where it is not already identified by fences or suitable markers . All signs and markers will be removed upon permit release . Reclamation Costs In order to calculate maximum potential reclamation liability to the State, we have selected a point in time where reclamation costs could be at a maximum. It is assumed that the time of maximum mining disturbance could be at the completion of all mining activities. Although concurrent reclamation is expected to be performed during all phases of mining, during the worst-case scenario, no reclamation will have been performed during mining, Backfilling of the side slopes to 3W1V has not begun. Stockpiles with available topsoil/overburden for backfilling will be near the pit and areas for reclamation, so haul distances will generally be less than 500 feet. Each aspect is listed in the following table with associated disturbed area. Please refer to Exhibit C, Mining Plan, for a listing of disturbed areas that total 8 .2 acres . This estimate will follow the same order as the listing in Exhibit C Connell Resources Inc , is an earth moving and construction contractor and unit costs for reclamation activities were provided from bidding documents associated with similar projects. Since all structures used in the mining operation are portable, it is assumed that removal of the structures do not have associated costs . The completed mining area will include near vertical pit side slopes and un-reclaimed pit floor. The near vertical pit slopes will total 4 ,000 linear feet with a height of 10 feet. The exposed pit floor requiring reclamation will be approximately five ( 5 ) acres . As all mining is completed, reclamation will begin, so it is assumed that during this worst-case scenario no concurrent reclamation has been performed. Miscellaneous disturbed areas at the point of maximum disturbance will include internal haul roads and other miscellaneous mining related disturbances. These areas will be tilled in preparation for topsoil/overburden growth medium placement, final grading, and seeding for revegetation. It is estimated that the combined area of these disturbances will be approximately one-half (0. 5) acres . Since quality topsoil is thin on the Harmony Gardens Site, vegetation growth medium will include the best quality topsoil/overburden material available. If available, a minimum of 4 inches of growth medium will be placed on all disturbed areas following backfilling, scarifying, and/or rough grading, Final grading of the topsoil/overburden growth medium will prepare the surface for seeding . After initial seeding and the first season' s growth, it is estimated that approximately 20 percent of the seeded area will need to be re-seeded. A. breakdown of the estimated reclamation costs during the scenario presented above is provided in the following table.
