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

Representatives from Connell Resources, Inc. met with Phillip and Judy MacLean on March 19, 2019 to discuss the proposed mining operation and any potential impacts to the MacLean's residence or other assets. We believe that the MacLean's are confident that impacts from the mining operation will not occur and, if they are adversely affected by the operation, Connell Resources will mitigate any impacts. 6.4.4 Exhibit D — Mining Plan 5. The statement. "Items owned by the applicant or property owner located within the proposed permit area such as un-improved roads, fences, water wells and associated pumps, and other structures may be removed or relocated during mining and reclamation." in Exhibit D, Mining Plan, overstates the existence of structures within the mining area and has been removed. However, the signed Right to Enter agreements with the property owner's state that the property is included in the permit application, "... for the purposes of mining construction materials and reclaiming said property in accordance with the requirements of the permit". Therefore, the applicant believes that the Right to Enter agreement, as obtained and submitted, allows Connell Resources, Inc. the right to mine according to the property modification descriptions and exhibits provided in the reclamation permit application. The revised Exhibit D, Mining Plan, is attached. 6. The statement on Page 7 referring to, "... setbacks adjacent to a man-made structure not owned by the applicant that are less than 25 feet...", has been removed from Exhibit D, Mining Plan. The applicant has offered the owners of all structures within 200 feet of the affected land structure agreements. Agreements have been obtained, or are in the process of being obtained, from most of the neighboring structure owners including Nunn Telephone Company and Poudre Valley REA. In addition, Weld County stated in the Use by Special Review (USR) for mining operations pre -application meeting that county interests for roads and right-of-ways (ROWs) will be protected in the Weld County Use by Special Review permit and road maintenance agreement (meeting minutes attached). 7. As mining is completed, highwalls will generally be adjacent to the permit boundary and, due to limited space, will be backfilled and not "dozed". Dozing of the active mine face and side slopes, as referred to on Page 8, would only occur if mining was to end at the point of maximum disturbance. At this point, as described in Exhibit L, Reclamation Costs, it is assumed that the mining face and side slopes are not adjacent to the permit boundary and reclamation could more efficiently be completed by dozing the highwalls with a "cut and fill" technique. The language "highwalls associated with the active mining face and approximately 500 feet of side slope on both sides of the mining face will require dozing, grading, topsoiling, and revegetation" on Page 8 has been changed to "highwalls associated with the active mining face and approximately 500 feet of side slope on both sides of the mining face will require reclamation" to avoid confusion. As stated, the reclamation process at the point of maximum disturbance is described in Exhibit L, Reclamation Costs. (blue earth SOLUTIONS Page 2 of 6 Mr. Peter Hays RE: Lazy Two Pit M-2019-001 April 17, 2019 8. The applicant commits to providing the Division with a technical revision prior to the operation of a temporary asphalt plant on the Lazy Two Pit site. 9. The fueling/lubrication area near the office/scale house will be a dedicated location. Minimal amounts of bulk fuel and miscellaneous equipment maintenance fluids and oils will be stored on -site. When possible, fuels, oils, and other hazardous materials will be brought to the site as -needed with mobile maintenance vehicles. If stored on -site, bulk hazardous materials will be stored in double -walled tanks within lined and bermed secondary containment. The vehicle pads shall be prepared with compacted clay and safety equipment and materials to immediately clean up, store, and dispose of any spilled hazardous materials will be kept on -site. 10. The statement in Exhibit E, Reclamation Plan, on Page 10 "All available topsoil material will be used for backflling." Has been changed to "All available overburden material will be used for backfilling." 11. The statement in Exhibit D, Mining Plan, that topsoil shall be removed and segregated from overburden is correct. As topsoil and overburden are stripped prior to mining, the materials shall be segregated and stockpiled separately for use during reclamation. The statement in Exhibit E, Reclamation Plan, on Page 11 more accurately describes all stripped material available for reclamation. Therefore, the statement has been changed from, "approximately one million cubic yards (cyds) of combined topsoil and overburden will be available for backfilling" to, "approximately one million cubic yards (cyds) of combined topsoil and overburden will be available for reclamation". The revised Exhibit E, Reclamation Plan, is attached. 6.4.7 Exhibit G — Water Information 12. The owners of properties that could potentially have wells within 600 feet of the affected land were contacted directly, including site visits, to evaluate the presence of Colorado Division of Water Resources registered and/or unregistered groundwater wells. Property owners that were contacted included Ross, Burris, Mellott, and Maclean. Wells that were located are listed and illustrated on the attached revised Exhibit C-4, Water Resource Map. In Exhibit G, Water Information, the statement, "The only registered groundwater well within 600 feet of the proposed permit area is owned by the proposed permit property owner (see Exhibit C-4, Water Resource Map)" has been changed to, "Known Colorado Division of Water Resources registered and/or unregistered groundwater wells within 600 feet of the affected area are illustrated on Exhibit C-4, Water Resource Map." A revised Exhibit G, Water Information, is attached. 13. The source of water used on the Lazy Two Pit site will be the groundwater well located at the Tucker Aggregate Pit, M-1980-002. The approved Colorado Division of Water Resources well permit is attached. 14. Groundwater on the Lazy Two Pit site will not be exposed during mining or reclamation. If groundwater is encountered, the area will be backfilled to two (2) feet above the normal 6lue earth SOLUTIONS Page 3 of 6 Mr. Peter Hays RE: Lazy Two Pit M-2019--001 April 17, 2019 groundwater elevation and a well permit and approved augmentation plan will be obtained from Colorado Division of Water Resources before groundwater is exposed. Test pits were excavated on the property to evaluate the depth and spatial extent of the gravel reserve. The test pits were excavated several feet below the identified gravel reserve and no groundwater was exposed in any of the pits. Where available, construction reports from domestic wells near the site were also evaluated (available well construction reports attached). Information from the reports is provided in the table below. Although the wells on the Mellott property did not have available construction reports, the static water level in the wells was estimated by the property owner. Well Location (Property) Approximate Well Location (from Lazy Two Pit) Estimated Static Water Level (feet below ground surface) Ross On -site unknown Burris 600 feet SW 72 JEM Ranch 1400 feet west 21 Thomas Ranch 3000 feet north 75 Maclean 800 feet east unknown Indian Creek Ranch 2000 feet west 78 Whitfield 1800 feet south 22 Mellott 500 feet south 75 It is difficult to spatially compare groundwater elevations using depth to water since ground surface elevations vary between well locations. However, some general inferences can be made from the available data. Based on the available information, as described below, it would be reasonable to assume that groundwater beneath the Lazy Two Pit site could range from as shallow as 20 feet to as deep as 50 feet below the ground surface. These estimates place the normal groundwater elevation at least 10 feet below the estimated pit depth. Additionally, from the well construction reports with available bore logs, it appears that water was not encountered in the upper sand and gravel materials, but in deeper shale and sandstone formations. The Lazy Two Pit property is generally lower than properties to the east and west of the proposed mining site. This means that although depth to water in some adjacent property wells may be about 75 below the surface, ground elevations where wells are located east and west of the site (Burris, Thomas Ranch, Indian Creek Ranch) could be as much as 20 to 40 feet higher than the Lazy Two Pit ground surface. Wells in the region with shallower depth to water measurements (JEM Ranch, Whitfield) appear to be at elevations more similar to the Lazy Two Pit ground surface elevation, but these wells are also located adjacent to the Spring Creek drainage — a northwest to southeast running drainage located west and south of the site where higher groundwater elevations would be expected. Although the Mellott well is at a similar ground surface elevation as the Lazy Two Pit site and the static depth to water was estimated at 75 feet, there are no records documenting the measurement and the accuracy could be suspect. blue earth SOLUTIONS Page 4 of 6 Mr. Peter Hays RE: Lazy Two Pit M-2019-001 April 17, 2019 6.4.12 Exhibit L — Reclamation Costs 15. The statement in Exhibit E, Reclamation Plan, is correct that a minimum of six (6) inches of topsoil/growth medium will be placed on the pit floor and a minimum of one (1) foot of topsoil/growth medium will be placed on backfilled or otherwise created pit slopes. Exhibit L, Reclamation Costs, has been revised (attached). 16. Exhibit L, Reclamation Costs, has been revised (attached) to provide additional reclamation information for estimating costs. 6.4.14 Exhibit N — Source of Legal Right to Enter 18.

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

The proposed Lazy Two Pit permit area contains substantiated aggregate resources to continue the supply in this region of Colorado. As resources diminish in the Connell Carr Pit, new supplies from the proposed Lazy Two Pit will continue to provide construction materials to meet the northern Colorado demand. Introduction and Overview The proposed Lazy Two Pit permit area is currently owned by the Lazy Two Ranch LLC and Duane and Lynn Ross and consists of rangeland utilized by the owner's cattle operations. The property is located in the northeast corner of Weld County Roads 21 and 118. The site is relatively flat, generally drains from north to south, and contains short grass prairie upland areas. Permit Boundary Definition The proposed permit boundary is generally consistent with the property parcel boundaries on the west, north, and east sides. These parcel boundaries are also defined by the section or half - section lines for Section 11 (T10N, R67W). The site is also bound by Weld County Road 21 to the west and Weld County Road 118 to the south. The southern permit boundary follows parcel boundaries and the section line except where the existing farm house and associated structures are purposely excluded. Since the permit boundary will mostly follow site parcel lines, the boundary will extend to the center line of Weld County Roads 21 and 118. Although mining disturbances will be setback from road and utility right-of-ways and easements, the location of the permit boundary will allow for necessary site access roads or other disturbances adjacent to the roadways. Affected Land Boundary Definition The proposed permit boundary will encompass approximately 304.3 acres with only about 290.5 acres currently planned for mining. However, the affected land boundary essentially follows the permit boundary to allow for reclamation activities and future potential mining operations. Areas not disturbed by mining may be disturbed by access roads, stockpiles, material processing, or backfilling and other reclamation related activities. The remaining area will consist of setbacks and road and utility right-of-ways. Land Uses The proposed permit area currently consists of rangeland utilized by the owner's cattle operations. With the exception of the community of Carr, properties surrounding the proposed Lazy Two Pit site are primarily rural agricultural non -irrigated rangeland. The community of Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 4 Carr includes approximately 30 to 40 semi -rural residential home lots north of the site. In addition to the Connell Carr Pit north of Carr, there is another permitted aggregate mining property (M-1988-048) and railroad load -out yard approximately one mile north of the site. There are no established oil and gas wells, tank batteries, or other associated facilities located on the property. The interior of the property does not contain structures, easements, or right-of- ways not owned by the applicant or property owner. Several utility structures and associated easements and right-of-ways are located on the edges of the property or immediately adjacent to the proposed permit boundary including Nunn Telephone Company communication lines, Weld County road right-of-ways, and Poudre Valley REA power lines (see Exhibit C-1, Existing Conditions Map). None of the easements, right-of-ways, or associated structures are expected to be negatively affected by mining or reclamation operations. Nature of Deposit to be Mined The proposed permit area is located where the northern edge of the Colorado Piedmont transitions up to the High Plains of southern Wyoming. The northwestern most boundary of the historic Lone Tree Creek basin originates in the Laramie Range of the Rocky Mountains and drains southeast across the relatively flat High Plains and down through the gently rolling topography of the Colorado Piedmont. Aggregate materials within the proposed permit area are composed of Pliocene and Pleistocene terrace deposits associated with the historic Lone Tree Creek drainage system. The terrace deposits within the proposed permit area extend from the surface or near -surface to a variable depth of approximately 10 feet below the ground surface. Deposition was most likely created by streams that had been rejuvenated as a result of uplift at the close of the Tertiary period and increased water supply during the Pleistocene epoch. The under -lying Tertiary sedimentary rocks that include consolidated sand and gravel conglomerates were eroded, and the process of cutting and filling of channels was so widespread that gravel and sand were deposited in sheet -like beds. The principal streams eroded into the bedrock, cutting and building terraces along the channels. More recent streams, such as Lone Tree Creek one to two miles east of the proposed permit area, have cut through the highly erodible over -lying unconsolidated material in most areas and do not generally have associated alluvial deposition. Traditional organic topsoil on most of the site is thin or non-existent, varying from 0 to 6 inches in depth. Most of the soils are undistinguishable from the general overburden material that consists of shallow, well drained loams. Over most of the identified sand and gravel deposit is a loamy, wind -mixed veneer layer of soil/overburden material varying from 0 to near 2 feet in depth. The soil/overburden material likely developed from alluvial and eolian deposits of clay, silts, and sands. Over time, erosive forces of wind and water have influenced the soils on the site and mobile soil/overburden particles, such as silt and clay, have eroded from higher topographic positions and have been re -deposited in lower areas. The aggregate deposits and loamy soil/overburden material are underlain by a variable pattern of unconsolidated shale and sandstone parent materials. Mine Phasing Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 5 Connell Resources anticipates mining and reclaiming the proposed Lazy Two Pit site in approximately 15 years. However, the rate of mining and overall life of the mine is dependent on several factors including product demand. Test pits have verified that commercial deposits of sand and gravel exist up to approximately 10 feet below the surface of the ground. In addition to the commercial sand and gravel materials, clay, silt, and other non -marketable materials excavated from the proposed permit area will be used on -site for reclamation. Since the proposed permit area is a relatively uniform land area, the mining plan currently includes mining in just one phase from south to north (see Exhibit C-5, Pre-Mining/Mining Plan Map). Even though the proposed permit area will be mined in only one phase, integration of mining and reclamation is still applicable. In general, as the pit reaches its maximum depth and edges are completed, they will be backfilled and reclaimed. In areas where the final pit depth has been achieved and operations are no longer present, backfilling and reclamation of pit walls will extend onto the pit floor. Rough contouring of the pit floor to facilitate drainage will take place during mining while fine contouring and establishing final drainage patterns will be one of the last steps in the reclamation process. The contour blending will avoid steep transitions and create a topography that produces a smooth, relatively low velocity flow from the mined area to adjacent areas. Overland flow patterns will be incorporated into this transition so as to connect the pit floor with existing drainage systems. Mining Methods Groundwater is not expected to be encountered during mining and the deposit will be dry mined. Mining will proceed by first stripping and stockpiling topsoils and overburden. The exposed gravel will then be removed in lifts and transported to the processing facility. Since the material is unconsolidated deposits, no blasting is required. Earth Moving Areas to be mined are prepared by removal of topsoil and overburden. Each preparation area may be as much as 100 feet wide. Usually, only enough area is stripped and prepared to provide the estimated needs for the next 10 to 14 months of mining. Where it is found, surface topsoil material will be stripped separate from the underlying, deeper subsoil or overburden material. This topsoil layer contains most of the soils organic matter and will be stockpiled separately for use in reclamation. Once the surface layer has been removed, the rest of the overburden will be stripped and used directly for backfill or stockpiled separate from the surface layer. The active mining face will extend no more than 1,000 feet in length. During mining and prior to reclamation, the mine walls will be a nearly vertical to ' H:1 V slope (see Exhibit C-5, Pre- Mining/Mining Plan Map). Mining will progress down to the depth of quality aggregate material or approximately 10 feet below the surface. As the mining face progresses, pit sidewalls behind the mining activities will be reclaimed. So reclamation activities do not interfere with mining operations, pit sidewalls may extend 500 feet behind the active mining face without being reclaimed. The aggregate material will be recovered using equipment typical for sand and gravel mining operations. Earth moving equipment may include, but are not limited to dozers, loaders, Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 6 scrapers, and excavators. The aggregate material from the pit will be temporarily stockpiled within the pit or transported directly to the processing facility. During mining and reclamation activities, watering trucks for dust control will be used as needed. Setbacks from the mine pit top of slope to the proposed permit boundary or man-made structures not owned by the applicant will be 25 feet or greater. Setbacks from near vertical mining excavations to the permit boundary will be a minimum of twice the adjacent pit depth, but never less than 25 feet, to mitigate stability risks. Topsoil and overburden material excavated from the pit will be stockpiled separately and used for backfilling mine pit slopes and other reclamation activities. The non -marketable material stockpiles will be created adjacent to the areas that will be backfilled. When sufficient material is available in the stockpile, the material will be backfilled into previously mined areas. The side slopes of the mine pit will be backfilled, graded to a minimum 3H:1 V slope, and seeded as mining progresses. Approximately 15,000 feet of pit side slopes will be created during mining. Since reclamation is anticipated to be concurrent with mining operations, the actual length of side slope requiring backfilling and grading at any point in time is expected to be far less than 15,000 feet. Since the pit depth is estimated to be about 10 feet, the typical side slope is expected to be 10 feet high. Once backfilling and final grading has been completed in an area, the top of the slope and the side slopes will be seeded as soon as practicable (based on first available seeding season). Since reclamation will take place concurrently with mining, large and long-term topsoil and overburden stockpiling is not anticipated. Topsoil and overburden stockpiles will be configured to have side -slopes no steeper than 2H:1 V. If the stockpiles are inactive for more than one growing season they will be seeded with the fast growing grass seed mixture in the table below. However, since the stockpile materials will continually be used for reclamation, the stockpiles will likely be disturbed on a frequent basis and seeding the stockpiles may not be practical during the course of the operation. If stockpile seeding is not used, surface roughening will be maintained to limit wind and water erosion. Stockpile Grass Seed Mixture Grass Species Rate (lbs PLS/acre) Intermediate Wheatgrass 5.0 Blue Grama 1.0 Triticale (sterile hybrid of wheat and rye) 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 Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 7 mining disturbance could be at its maximum. At the proposed Lazy Two Pit site, it is assumed that the mining disturbance will be at its greatest close to midway through the mining operation. During this scenario, the southern portion of the site has been mined and the pit is partially backfilled to establish final site drainage. Only about half of the required backfilling, grading, and revegetation of the pit has been completed at this point. To complete the backfilling, material from un-mined areas of the site will need to be harvested, placed in the pit, graded, topsoiled, and revegetated. Additionally, highwalls associated with the active mining face and approximately 500 feet of side slope on both sides of the mining face will require reclamation. Mine Operation Aspects and Disturbance Areas Aspect Mining Operation Disturbed Area (acres) A Active Mining Area: 1. Near vertical active mining face and 100 -foot wide pre -stripped area in anticipation of mining. 2. Near vertical un-reclaimed pit side slopes. 3. Un-reclaimed pit floor. 13.8 B Material Harvesting Area and Pit Backfilling 1. Material harvest area in un-mined area — 78 acres. Partially reclaimed pit, backfilled with harvested overburden material to grade — 30.5 acres. 108.5 C Miscellaneous Disturbed Areas: 1. Scale house building area. 2. Internal haul roads. 3. Main site access road. 2.0 D Final Reclamation: 1. Seeding. 2. Re -seeding. NA Total Disturbed Area 124.3 Diversions and Impoundments The existing grade of the proposed permit area generally drains from north to south. Stormwater that falls directly on disturbed areas will generally drain to the mine pit and allowed to infiltrate. The active mine pit will effectively contain stormwater flows and prevent surface runoff from disturbed areas of the site. Stormwater not encountering disturbed areas will be allowed to drain within natural drainage patterns. Material Processing and Associated Facilities A portable processing facility for product crushing and screening will be brought to the site and used as needed. The facility will be located within the pit close to where active mining is Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 8 occurring or near the site entrance. A fueling/lubricating station, generators, and outdoor storage may also be located near the portable processing facility. Pit run material will be hauled or conveyed to the processing plant where raw material and product stockpiles will be located. Alternatively, the material may be hauled off -site as pit run for direct use or processing elsewhere. In addition to the portable processing facility, a portable asphalt plant may also be used on the site as needed. The asphalt plant would be located in the mine pit or close to the site entrance near the portable processing facility to minimize material handling and hauling distances. A mine office/scale house trailer will be established near the site entrance. The office/scale house area may be used for employee parking, equipment fueling/lubricating, or equipment storage. Commodities to be Mined and Intended Use Sand and gravel for use as construction materials will be the primary products produced from the proposed Lazy Two Pit site. Test pits have verified that commercial deposits of sand and gravel exist up to about 10 feet below the surface of the ground. In addition to the commercial sand and gravel materials, clay, silt, and other non -marketable topsoil and overburden materials will be used on -site for reclamation. Use of Explosives Since the material is unconsolidated deposits, no explosives or blasting is required. Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 9 EXHIBIT E Revised Reclamation Plan This plan covers the proposed Lazy Two Pit final reclamation activities. Final Proposed Land Use The current land use for the Lazy Two Pit property is rangeland. The use of this land is not expected to change. Most of the land surrounding the proposed permit area has similar uses of rangeland and open space. With so much open, undeveloped land in the surrounding area, maintaining this land as rangeland is consistent with the more regional land uses. General Overview of the Reclamation Plan Reclamation of the proposed permit area is fairly straightforward. Much of the pit, after mining, will contain a pit floor that gently slopes from north to south. The pit floor will be backfilled and graded to connect with existing drainages. Reclaimed mine pit side slopes will be created by backfilling the near vertical mining highwalls with overburden. All areas disturbed by mining activities will be prepared with topsoil and overburden and revegetated during reclamation. Revegetation will generate a blend of grass species and, given suitable precipitation, should produce good vegetation cover over much of the reclaimed site. In general, shallower reclaimed slopes will provide easier access during reclamation and safer access for ranching equipment following mining. Shallower slopes will also aid in establishing vegetation growth and minimize erosion. Therefore, no slopes will be reclaimed any steeper than 3H:1 V. Grading of pit side slopes and the pit bottom will attempt to adhere to the surrounding natural topography and drainage patterns. In order for the reclaimed pit to drain naturally, the southern side of the pit will be backfilled such that the pit bottom to the north can grade gently into the existing grade at the southern end of the proposed permit boundary. The mine office/scale house trailer, portable processing facility, asphalt plant, and any other structures associated with mining will be removed from the site during final reclamation activities. Roads not necessary for future access and other disturbed areas will be reclaimed with topsoil and overburden replacement and vegetative cover to stabilize the areas and minimize erosion. Materials Handling All available overburden material will be used for backfilling. Similar to mining, earth moving equipment may include, but are not limited to dozers, loaders, scrapers, and excavators. Additional farm equipment for grading and seeding may be used for revegetation activities. Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 10 Materials Handling - Backfilling It is estimated that approximately one million cubic yards (cyds) of combined topsoil and overburden will be available for reclamation. At the southern end of the site, the pit will be backfilled to existing grade, or approximately 5570 amsl (see Exhibit F, Reclamation Plan Map). From the southern end, backfilling the pit to an approximate elevation of 5570 amsl will continue north until the top of the backfill elevation matches grade with the bottom of the mined -out pit. With the north to south pre -mining ground surface grade of about 0.7-0.8 percent, and backfilling the south end of the pit to create a near flat (0.1 percent) final backfill surface grade, this will occur approximately 1,500 feet north of the southern proposed permit boundary and require less than 0.5 million cyds of backfill. The remainder of the pit floor to the north will receive only enough overburden backfill to establish a growth medium for revegetation. The pit slopes in the northern portion of the site, and any others not previously backfilled, will be backfilled to achieve final reclaimed slopes of 3H:1V or flatter (see Exhibit F, Reclamation Plan Map). Backfilling of the pit and side slopes as described will place the material necessary to grade the site for vegetation growth and drainage. Materials Handling - Grading Blending of the pit into the natural drainage will be important to prevent pooling of water in the pit bottom. The backfilled southern portion of the pit will be graded to let stormwater flow freely through the reclaimed site. The final grading will blend the topographic contouring from the pit floor with the undisturbed topography south of the site. Where 3H:1 V pit side slopes exist, they will be graded to transition into the relatively flat pit floor gradually, avoiding a sharp slope break that could encourage erosion. Grading of the pit floor may leave a subtle rolling topography rather than a completely flat bottom depending on varying depths of the sand and gravel deposit. The variations in topography will not create water catchment areas, but shall be graded to drain freely. The gentle slope of the topography will control water flow and create a variety of microenvironments for vegetation growth. The side slopes will also not be graded smooth, but will contain a low profile ridging pattern that follows the contour. Final grading that leaves this type of ridging pattern helps to capture water for plant growth as well as reduce the velocity of runoff and slope erosion. On these slopes, erosion may present a maintenance issue for the first year or two of revegetation if there are large, drenching thunderstorms, but more normal low intensity thunderstorms should not create more than minor rilling. All backfilling and grading will be done to stabilize the material and control erosion. Final grading and seeding will be done as soon as possible after backfilling, grading, and topsoiling have been completed. There will not be known toxic or hazardous materials in the backfill material. The reclamation will not leave high walls on the property. In addition, there will be no auger holes, excavations, or shafts left on the property. Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 11 Topsoil and Revegetation The growth medium for revegetation will be a combination of overburden and topsoils. Unfortunately, there is not a large quantity of quality topsoil available at the site. The topsoil is only marginally different from the overburden, with its main distinction being slightly higher in organic matter. Because of its thin and scarce occurrence, true topsoil stripping will likely incorporate some of the underlying silty clay overburden material. Every effort will be made to separate true topsoil stripping, but even with the incorporation of some overburden material, it is not anticipated that large quantities of the topsoil/overburden growth medium will be available for reclamation. Because of its limited availability, the topsoil/overburden growth medium may not be placed evenly over the entire site. The floor of the pit will likely need less growth medium because moisture accumulation there will help vegetation growth and new soil development. Therefore, only about six inches of the topsoil/overburden growth medium will be placed on the pit floor. The same dressing will be used for areas where stockpiles, access roads, or mining structures have been removed and the underlying material has been scarified in preparation for reclamation. A minimum of one foot of growth medium will be placed on backfilled or otherwise created pit slopes. The extra thickness of growth medium will help to retain moisture on the slopes and provide a deeper rooting zone to help protect against erosion. When spreading growth medium on slopes, the same requirements for general grading will be followed. Final grading prior to seeding will only follow the contours of the slope, creating ridging patterns that follow the contour, and will never produce tracks up and down the slope. Planting of the site will be done as areas are finished with preparation after grading and spreading topsoil/overburden growth medium. Planting will occur seasonally to allow for timely germination with available moisture and to provide the highest possibility for growth success. If possible, planting will be performed between mid -November and the end of April. Drill seeding is the preferred method for revegetation. Grass seed should be planted with a drill equipped with depth bands and press wheels. On this site, broadcast seeding is not advisable as seed burial would be limited. If broadcast seeding is necessary on moist soils, steep slopes, or in excessively rocky areas, success can be encouraged by broadcasting onto growth medium that is very loose, such as occurs immediately after spreading the plant growth medium. If the seed is broadcast in those circumstances, then the seeded area will be dragged to help bury the seed. At this time, no fertilizer or mulch is being proposed. On west and south facing slopes, mulch may be applied if desired, but only if the mulch is very strongly crimped into the soil. On this site, straw mulch, unless well anchored would most likely just blow away, providing little benefit. If mulch is used, certified weed -less straw mulch at a rate of 2,000 pounds per acre should be applied. However, no fertilizer is recommended for revegetation of the Lazy Two Pit permit area. Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 12 The reclamation seed mixture was provided by the Natural Resources Conservation Service for mine land reclamation in the region of the proposed permit area and is listed below. Revegetation Seed Mix Species Rate (lbs PLS/acre) Wheatgrass, Western 4.80 Grama, Sideoats 1.82 Grama, Blue 0.50 Green needlegrass 1.92 Buffalograss (bur) 1.65 TOTAL 10.69 Rates are for drill seeding. If broadcast seeding is used, double seeding rates. If a significant invasion of noxious weeds occurs after seeding, the weeds will be mowed before they can go to seed. The areas will be mowed periodically for additional control as needed. Mechanical control will be used as a first priority. Chemical methods will only be used if no other alternative produces acceptable results. Periodic inspection for noxious weeds, at least once a year early in the season, will be done. The weed inspection will search for not only the expected species but also any new List A or B species introductions. It is likely that non -noxious and List C species will also be found. Non - noxious weeds, which are often native invaders, do not need to be controlled, but if the population of a List C species is controllable then it will be included in the control program. List C noxious species are problematic but are usually not as serious as List B species. List B species in Colorado and utilized for Weld County weed management include: Absinth wormwood, Black henbane, Bouncingbet, Bull thistle, Canada thistle, Chinese clematis, Common tansy, Common teasel, Corn chamomile, Cutleaf teasel, Dalmatian toadflax, Dame's rocket, Diffuse knapweed, Eurasian watermilfoil, Hoary cress, Houndstongue, Jointed goatgrass, Leafy spurge, Mayweed chamomile, Moth mullein, Musk thistle, Oxeye daisy, Perennial pepperweed, Plumeless thistle, Quackgrass, Russian knapweed, Russian -olive, Salt cedar, Scentless chamomile, Scotch thistle, Spotted knapweed, Spurred anoda, Sulfur cinquefoil, Venice mallow, Wild caraway, Yellow nutsedge, and Yellow toadflax. All List A species must be eradicated by law. These weeds include African rue, Bohemian knotweed, Camelthorn, Common crupina, Cypress spurge, Dyer's woad, Elongated mustard, Giant knotweed, Giant salvinia, Hydrilla, Japanese knotweed, meadow knapweed, Mediterranean sage, Medusahead, Myrtle spurge, Orange hawkweed, Purple loosestrife, Rush skeletonweed, Squarrose knapweed, Tansy ragwort, and Yellow starthistle. The current complete list of noxious weed species and local management plans is available from the Weld County Weed Division. Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 13 Wildlife Current wildlife conditions and potential impacts are described in Exhibit H, Wildlife Information. Water — General Requirement No groundwater is expected to be encountered in the mining and therefore groundwater in the area should not be affected. Although the pit floor will have a gentle, possibly rolling, topography as described above, discharge from the pit to the existing drainage will still occur. Since the retention of water in the pit is not allowed under Colorado water law without prior approval, pit floor configurations will keep water draining from the site. Grading will minimize steep slopes and other areas that could create high runoff velocities and excessive erosion. The discharge from the pit will be intentionally directed into existing drainageways. Thus, the edge of the pit will likely have not only a horizontal blending to produce smooth slope transitions, but it will be vertically variable to match rises and falls in the topography just beyond the pit edge. Initially, silt fence or other sedimentation best management techniques shall be installed in all significant drainages within about 50 feet of the edge of the affected land. Until the vegetation develops on the pit floor there will be a fair amount of sediment discharge from the regraded and seeded pit floor. These best management practices will aid in reducing the amount of sediment that leaves the affected land. To minimize the effect on the prevailing hydrologic balance, the operator shall: a. Comply with all applicable Colorado water laws. b. Comply with all applicable Federal and State water quality laws and regulations. c. Comply with all Federal and State requirements for dredge and fill. d. Perform all work to minimize erosion and sediment transport. No irrigation will be used in establishing the vegetation, so no water rights are required for those purposes. No water storage will occur in the pit. Current water resource conditions and potential surface water and groundwater impacts are described in Exhibit G, Water Information. Buildings and Structures There are no existing buildings or structures in the proposed permit area and no structures will be left following reclamation. Signs and Markers Permit notification signs will be placed and maintained at the entrance to the operation. The permit boundary will be identified where it is not already identified by fences or suitable markers. All signs and markers will be removed upon permit release. Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 14 EXHIBIT G Revised Water Information The proposed permit area is located in Section 11, Township 10 North, Range 67 West of the 6th Principal Meridian, Weld County, Colorado. The proposed permit area includes 304.3 acres. Introduction There are no surface water resources within the proposed permit area (see Exhibit C-4, Water Resource Map). According to United States Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5 -Minute Series maps (Carr SW and Dover quadrangles) an ephemeral drainage bisects the proposed site from north to south, but no defined bed, bank, or channel exists on the property. The principle drainage systems in the area are Lone Tree Creek approximately 1-2 miles east of the site and the Spring Creek drainage system about 1.5 miles to the west. The ephemeral drainage within the proposed permit boundary illustrated on the USGS maps does not connect to either primary drainage system and dissipates just south of the property. Neither the Lone Tree Creek or Spring Creek drainage have associated regulatory floodplains near the proposed permit area. Known Colorado Division of Water Resources registered and/or unregistered groundwater wells within 600 feet of the affected area are illustrated on Exhibit C-4, Water Resource Map. The proposed mining operation does not anticipate encountering groundwater and no impacts to the surrounding groundwater hydrology are expected. Potential Mining and Reclamation Impacts The proposed mining operation will have no affect on site water resources. Water is primarily used for dust control and is trucked from off -site sources. Water use for washing of product materials is not anticipated. As discussed in previous sections, it is not expected to encounter groundwater during mining and stormwater will not be retained in the active mine pit or in the reclaimed pit area. Prior to the site being graded to drain stormwater freely, if stormwater accumulates in the pit and does not readily infiltrate, pumps will be used to remove the water and return it to the downstream drainage. Water Quality Mining and reclamation operations shall comply with Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Colorado Discharge Permitting System (CDPS) for stormwater management. A permit will be obtained that includes the continued updating and implementation of a site Stormwater Management Plan designed to prevent the contact and transport of potential contaminants to surface waters by stormwater flows. Due to the absence of large quantities of potential pollutants on site, the mining and reclamation operations will not affect groundwater quality on or off the site. As stated above, mining and reclamation activities shall operate under a CDPS permit and Stormwater Management Plan. The plan provides for regular inspections of potential contaminant areas such as mobile equipment and fuel or lubricant storage locations. Inspections and best management practices are incorporated into the plan to protect both surface and groundwater quality. Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 4 EXHIBIT L Revised Reclamation Costs In order to calculate maximum potential reclamation liability to the State, we have selected a point in time where reclamation costs could be at a maximum. It is assumed that the time of maximum mining disturbance will be almost midway through mining activities. During this scenario, no reclamation will have been performed on the active mining face nor the near vertical side slopes on both sides of the mining face. Reclamation of the pit in the southern portion of the site will be about half way complete. This portion of the pit will need to be backfilled and graded to let stormwater flow freely through the reclaimed site. During mining, backfilling of the pit will progress in one area such that final grade will be achieved and the backfilled area can be topsoiled and revegetated prior to beginning backfilling in another area. However, in the maximum potential reclamation liability scenario, approximately half of the pit area (30.5 acres) will require additional backfill, grading, topsoiling, and seeding to create a final pit floor grade that will drain stormwater freely. The active mining area will include the active mining face, un-reclaimed pit side slopes, and un-reclaimed active mining area pit floor. This active mining area will be separate from the pit in the southern portion of the site described above. The active mining face will be near vertical with a maximum length of 1,000 feet and an average height of 10 feet. In front of the active mining face, an area 100 feet wide will have been pre -stripped in anticipation of mining (2.3 acres). In addition, a maximum 500 feet of un-reclaimed pit side slopes may be adjacent to each end of the active mine face. These side slopes will also be near vertical with an average height of 10 feet. Framed by the active mining face and pit side slopes, the pit floor (11.5 acres) will be un-reclaimed, contain overburden, raw material, and product stockpiles and, when needed, the portable processing facility and asphalt plant may be located here. During normal reclamation, the mining face and active pit side slopes would be backfilled to a minimum 3H:1 V slope. However, if mining stops at this maximum potential reclamation liability point, the mine face and pit side slopes will not be adjacent to the permit boundary and the highwalls can more efficiently be dozed to the required 3H:1 V or flatter slope. Following dozing, the areas will be rough graded in preparation for topsoil/overburden growth medium placement, final grading, and seeding for revegetation. The active mining pit floor will receive only enough topsoil/overburden backfill to establish a growth medium for revegetation. In addition to the active mining area, parts of the mine pit in the southern portion of the site will need to be backfilled, graded, topsoiled, and revegetated. To generate the material necessary to complete backfilling of the pit so that it will drain freely, additional material will need to be harvested from the un-mined portion of the site. Topsoil/overburden material will first be stripped from the material harvest area (78 acres) and stockpiled. Then the underlying overburden will be removed and used to finish backfilling the pit. Finally, the topsoil/overburden material will be replaced over the material harvest area to establish a growth medium for revegetation. Miscellaneous disturbed areas at the point of maximum potential reclamation liability will include the scale house area, internal haul roads, and the main site access road. It is estimated that the combined area of these disturbances will be approximately two (2) acres. These areas Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 23 will be tilled with a dozer in preparation for topsoil/overburden growth medium placement. Approximately 1,650 cubic yards of topsoil/growth medium will be placed a minimum of 6 inches deep over approximately 2 acres using haul trucks or scapers and a John Deere tractor and drag will perform final grading prior to seeding for revegetation. Since quality topsoil is scarce on the Lazy Two Pit site, vegetation growth medium will include the best quality topsoil/overburden material available. Following backfilling, scarifying, and/or rough grading a minimum of 6 inches of growth medium will be placed on all relatively flat areas such as the material harvest area and the pit floor. On backfilled or otherwise created pit slopes, a minimum of one (1) foot of growth medium will be placed following backfilling, scarifying, and/or rough grading. Final grading of the topsoil/overburden growth medium will prepare the surface for seeding. After initial seeding and the first season's growth, it is estimated that approximately 20 percent of the seeded area will need to be re -seeded. Each aspect is listed in the following table with associated disturbed area. Please refer to Exhibit D, Pre-Mining/Mining Plan, for a listing of disturbed areas that total 124.3 acres. This estimate will follow the same order as the listing in Exhibit D. Connell Resources Inc. is an earth moving and construction contractor and unit costs for reclamation activities were provided from bidding documents associated with similar projects. Since all structures used in the mining operation are portable, it is assumed that removal of the structures do not have associated costs. Stockpiles with available topsoil/overburden for backfilling will be near the active mining area, pit, and other areas for reclamation, so haul distances will generally be less than 1,000 feet. A conservative estimate for backfilling/dozing the mining face and side slope highwalls to create 3H:1 V slopes is 12,000 cubic yards. If material needs to be hauled for backfilling, the applicant will use a CAT 345 excavator and CAT 740 rock trucks. However, other contractors may use scrapers for better efficiency. The applicant will perform dozing of the highwalls and/or rough grading with a CAT D9 dozer. The created side slopes and pit floor will cover approximately 13.8 acres and, if it is assumed that rough grading involves the top 6 inches of material, about 1,150 cubic yards of material will be moved during rough grading. The applicant will again use a CAT 345 excavator and CAT 740 rock truck to move approximately 22,300 cubic yards of topsoil/growth medium to the area and create 1 -foot of cover, but other contractors may choose to use scrapers. The applicant will use a John Deere tractor and drag to final grade about 11,200 cubic yards of topsoil/growth medium over the 13.8 acres. Since more backfill material will be required to get the pit to drain freely, a material harvesting area will need to be created in a previously undisturbed area of site. Approximately 63,000 cubic yards of topsoil and 189,000 cubic yards of overburden will be stripped from the 78 -acre harvesting area with scrapers. The topsoil will be temporarily stockpiled and the overburden will be placed over about 30.5 acres in previously mined areas as backfill. The haul distance will be less than 1,000 feet. The CAT D9 dozer will be used to rough grade the material harvest area and backfilled area (108.5 acres), moving approximately 87,500 cubic yards of material (assuming 0.5 cubic yards of material is moved during rough grading). The applicant will then use the CAT 345 excavator and CAT 740 rock trucks (contractors may choose to use scrapers) to place approximately 87,500 cubic yards of topsoil/growth medium to a minimum depth of 6 inches over the 108.5 acres. Finally grading will use the John Deere tractor and drag to final grade about 87,500 cubic yards of topsoil/growth medium over the 108.5 acres.

The issuance of this permit does not ensure that no injury will occur to another vested water right or preclude another owner of a vested water right from seeking relief in a civil court action. 2) The construction of this well shall be in compliance with the Water Well Construction Rules 2 CCR 402-2, unless approval of a variance has been granted by the State Board of Examiners of Water Well Construction and Pump Installation Contractors in accordance with Rule 18. 3) Approved pursuant to CRS 37-90-137(4) for the replacement of an existing well, permit no. 25144-F. Upon completion of the new well, the old well must be plugged and abandoned in accordance with Rule 16 of the Water Well Construction Rules. A Well Abandonment Report form must be submitted within sixty (60) days of abandonment of the old well. 4) The use of ground water from this well is limited to commercial purposes associated with aggregate extraction in Sections 17 and 21, Twp. 11 N, Rng. 67 W, Sixth P.M. 5) The pumping rate of this well shall not exceed 150 GPM. 6) The average annual amount of ground water to be appropriated shall not exceed 50 acre-feet. 7) Production is limited to the Upper Laramie aquifer which is located approximately 40 feet below land surface and extends to a depth of approximately 1100 feet. Plain casing must be installed and grouted to prevent the withdrawal of ground water from other aquifers and the movement of ground water between aquifers. 8) The entire length of the hole shall be geophysically logged as required by Rule 9 of the Statewide Nontributary Ground Water Rules prior to installing casing. 9) The owner shall mark the well in a conspicuous place with well permit number(s), name of the aquifer, and court case number(s) as appropriate. The owner shall take necessary means and precautions to preserve these markings. 10) A totalizing flow meter must be installed on this well and maintained in good working order. Permanent records of all diversions must be maintained by the well owner (recorded at least annually) and submitted to the Division Engineer upon request. 11) This well shall be constructed at least 600 feet from any existing well, completed in the same aquifer, that is not owned by the applicant. 12) This well shall be constructed not more than 200 feet from the location specified on this permit. 13) This well is subject to administration by the Division Engineer in accordance with applicable decrees, statutes, rules, and regulations. NOTE: The ability of this well to withdraw its authorized amount of water from this non-renewable aquifer may be less than the 100 years upon which the amount of water in the aquifer is allocated, due to anticipated water level declines. NOTE: To ensure a maximum productive life of this well, perforated casing should be set through the entire producing interval of the approved zone or aquifer indicated above. NOTE: This permit will expire on the expiration date unless the well is constructed and a pump is installed by that date. A Well Construction and Test Report (GWS-31) and Pump Installation and Test Report (GWS-32) must be submitted to the Division of Water Resources to verify the well has been constructed and the pump has been installed. A one-time extension of the expiration date may be available.

The proposed Lazy Two Pit permit area contains substantiated aggregate resources to continue the supply in this region of Colorado. As resources diminish in the Connell Carr Pit, new supplies from the proposed Lazy Two Pit will continue to provide construction materials to meet the northern Colorado demand. Introduction and Overview The proposed Lazy Two Pit permit area is currently owned by the Lazy Two Ranch LLC and Duane and Lynn Ross and consists of rangeland utilized by the owner's cattle operations. The property is located in the northeast corner of Weld County Roads 21 and 118. The site is relatively flat, generally drains from north to south, and contains short grass prairie upland areas. Permit Boundary Definition The proposed permit boundary is generally consistent with the property parcel boundaries on the west, north, and east sides. These parcel boundaries are also defined by the section or half - section lines for Section 11 (T10N, R67W). The site is also bound by Weld County Road 21 to the west and Weld County Road 118 to the south. The southern permit boundary follows parcel boundaries and the section line except where the existing farm house and associated structures are purposely excluded. Since the permit boundary will mostly follow site parcel lines, the boundary will extend to the center line of Weld County Roads 21 and 118. Although mining disturbances will be setback from road and utility right-of-ways and easements, the location of the permit boundary will allow for necessary site access roads or other disturbances adjacent to the roadways. Affected Land Boundary Definition The proposed permit boundary will encompass approximately 304.3 acres with only about 290.5 acres currently planned for mining. However, the affected land boundary essentially follows the permit boundary to allow for reclamation activities and future potential mining operations. Areas not disturbed by mining may be disturbed by access roads, stockpiles, material processing, or backfilling and other reclamation related activities. The remaining area will consist of setbacks and road and utility right-of-ways. Land Uses The proposed permit area currently consists of rangeland utilized by the owner's cattle operations. With the exception of the community of Carr, properties surrounding the proposed Lazy Two Pit site are primarily rural agricultural non -irrigated rangeland. The community of Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 4 Carr includes approximately 30 to 40 semi -rural residential home lots north of the site. In addition to the Connell Carr Pit north of Carr, there is another permitted aggregate mining property (M-1988-048) and railroad load -out yard approximately one mile north of the site. Items owned by the applicant or property owner located within the proposed permit area such as un-improved roads, fences, water wells and associated pumps, and other structures may be removed or relocated during mining and reclamation. There are no established oil and gas wells, tank batteries, or other associated facilities located on the property. The interior of the property does not contain structures, easements, or right-of-ways not owned by the applicant or property owner. Several utility structures and associated easements and right-of-ways are located on the edges of the property or immediately adjacent to the proposed permit boundary including Nunn Telephone Company communication lines, Weld County road right-of-ways, and Poudre Valley REA power lines (see Exhibit C-1, Existing Conditions Map). None of the easements, right-of- ways, or associated structures are expected to be negatively affected by mining or reclamation operations. Nature of Deposit to be Mined The proposed permit area is located where the northern edge of the Colorado Piedmont transitions up to the High Plains of southern Wyoming. The northwestern most boundary of the historic Lone Tree Creek basin originates in the Laramie Range of the Rocky Mountains and drains southeast across the relatively flat High Plains and down through the gently rolling topography of the Colorado Piedmont. Aggregate materials within the proposed permit area are composed of Pliocene and Pleistocene terrace deposits associated with the historic Lone Tree Creek drainage system. The terrace deposits within the proposed permit area extend from the surface or near -surface to a variable depth of approximately 10 feet below the ground surface. Deposition was most likely created by streams that had been rejuvenated as a result of uplift at the close of the Tertiary period and increased water supply during the Pleistocene epoch. The under -lying Tertiary sedimentary rocks that include consolidated sand and gravel conglomerates were eroded, and the process of cutting and filling of channels was so widespread that gravel and sand were deposited in sheet -like beds. The principal streams eroded into the bedrock, cutting and building terraces along the channels. More recent streams, such as Lone Tree Creek one to two miles east of the proposed permit area, have cut through the highly erodible over -lying unconsolidated material in most areas and do not generally have associated alluvial deposition. Traditional organic topsoil on most of the site is thin or non-existent, varying from 0 to 6 inches in depth. Most of the soils are undistinguishable from the general overburden material that consists of shallow, well drained loams. Over most of the identified sand and gravel deposit is a loamy, wind -mixed veneer layer of soil/overburden material varying from 0 to near 2 feet in depth. The soil/overburden material likely developed from alluvial and eolian deposits of clay, silts, and sands. Over time, erosive forces of wind and water have influenced the soils on the site and mobile soil/overburden particles, such as silt and clay, have eroded from higher topographic positions and have been re -deposited in lower areas. The aggregate deposits and loamy soil/overburden material are underlain by a variable pattern of unconsolidated shale and sandstone parent materials. Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 5 Mine Phasing Connell Resources anticipates mining and reclaiming the proposed Lazy Two Pit site in approximately 15 years. However, the rate of mining and overall life of the mine is dependent on several factors including product demand. Test pits have verified that commercial deposits of sand and gravel exist up to approximately 10 feet below the surface of the ground. In addition to the commercial sand and gravel materials, clay, silt, and other non -marketable materials excavated from the proposed permit area will be used on -site for reclamation. Since the proposed permit area is a relatively uniform land area, the mining plan currently includes mining in just one phase from south to north (see Exhibit C-5, Pre-Mining/Mining Plan Map). Even though the proposed permit area will be mined in only one phase, integration of mining and reclamation is still applicable. In general, as the pit reaches its maximum depth and edges are completed, they will be backfilled and reclaimed. In areas where the final pit depth has been achieved and operations are no longer present, backfilling and reclamation of pit walls will extend onto the pit floor. Rough contouring of the pit floor to facilitate drainage will take place during mining while fine contouring and establishing final drainage patterns will be one of the last steps in the reclamation process. The contour blending will avoid steep transitions and create a topography that produces a smooth, relatively low velocity flow from the mined area to adjacent areas. Overland flow patterns will be incorporated into this transition so as to connect the pit floor with existing drainage systems. Mining Methods Groundwater is not expected to be encountered during mining and the deposit will be dry mined. Mining will proceed by first stripping and stockpiling topsoils and overburden. The exposed gravel will then be removed in lifts and transported to the processing facility. Since the material is unconsolidated deposits, no blasting is required. Earth Moving Areas to be mined are prepared by removal of topsoil and overburden. Each preparation area may be as much as 100 feet wide. Usually, only enough area is stripped and prepared to provide the estimated needs for the next 10 to 14 months of mining. Where it is found, surface topsoil material will be stripped separate from the underlying, deeper subsoil or overburden material. This topsoil layer contains most of the soils organic matter and will be stockpiled separately for use in reclamation. Once the surface layer has been removed, the rest of the overburden will be stripped and used directly for backfill or stockpiled separate from the surface layer. The active mining face will extend no more than 1,000 feet in length. During mining and prior to reclamation, the mine walls will be a nearly vertical to ½H:1 V slope (see Exhibit C-5, Pre- Mining/Mining Plan Map). Mining will progress down to the depth of quality aggregate material or approximately 10 feet below the surface. As the mining face progresses, pit sidewalls behind the mining activities will be reclaimed. So reclamation activities do not interfere with mining Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 6 operations, pit sidewalls may extend 500 feet behind the active mining face without being reclaimed. The aggregate material will be recovered using equipment typical for sand and gravel mining operations. Earth moving equipment may include, but are not limited to dozers, loaders, scrapers, and excavators. The aggregate material from the pit will be temporarily stockpiled within the pit or transported directly to the processing facility. During mining and reclamation activities, watering trucks for dust control will be used as needed. Setbacks from the mine pit top of slope to the proposed permit boundary or man-made structures not owned by the applicant will be 25 feet or greater. For setbacks adjacent to a man-made structure not owned by the applicant that are less than 25 feet, an agreement will obtained from the property owner or an engineering slope stability analysis will be performed. Setbacks from near vertical mining excavations to the permit boundary will be a minimum of twice the adjacent pit depth, but never less than 25 feet, to mitigate stability risks. Topsoil and overburden material excavated from the pit will be stockpiled separately and used for backfilling mine pit slopes and other reclamation activities. The non -marketable material stockpiles will be created adjacent to the areas that will be backfilled. When sufficient material is available in the stockpile, the material will be backfilled into previously mined areas. The side slopes of the mine pit will be backfilled, graded to a minimum 3H:1 V slope, and seeded as mining progresses. Approximately 15,000 feet of pit side slopes will be created during mining. Since reclamation is anticipated to be concurrent with mining operations, the actual length of side slope requiring backfilling and grading at any point in time is expected to be far less than 15,000 feet. Since the pit depth is estimated to be about 10 feet, the typical side slope is expected to be 10 feet high. Once backfilling and final grading has been completed in an area, the top of the slope and the side slopes will be seeded as soon as practicable (based on first available seeding season). Since reclamation will take place concurrently with mining, large and long-term topsoil and overburden stockpiling is not anticipated. Topsoil and overburden stockpiles will be configured to have side -slopes no steeper than 2H:1 V. If the stockpiles are inactive for more than one growing season they will be seeded with the fast growing grass seed mixture in the table below. However, since the stockpile materials will continually be used for reclamation, the stockpiles will likely be disturbed on a frequent basis and seeding the stockpiles may not be practical during the course of the operation. If stockpile seeding is not used, surface roughening will be maintained to limit wind and water erosion. Stockpile Grass Seed Mixture Grass Species Rate (lbs PLS/acre) Intermediate Wheatgrass 5.0 Blue Grama 1.0 Triticale (sterile hybrid of wheat and rye) 1.25 Rates are for broadcast seeding. Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 7 In order to gain an understanding of the extent of the mining operation, it is helpful to know the acres disturbed by different aspects of the mining operation. Each aspect is listed in the following table with associated disturbed area. The table illustrates a point in time where the mining disturbance could be at its maximum. At the proposed Lazy Two Pit site, it is assumed that the mining disturbance will be at its greatest close to midway through the mining operation. During this scenario, the southern portion of the site has been mined and the pit is partially backfilled to establish final site drainage. Only about half of the required backfilling, grading, and revegetation of the pit has been completed at this point. To complete the backfilling, material from un-mined areas of the site will need to be harvested, placed in the pit, graded, topsoiled, and revegetated. Additionally, highwalls associated with the active mining face and approximately 500 feet of side slope on both sides of the mining face will require dozing, grading, topsoiling, and revegetation. Mine Operation Aspects and Disturbance Areas Aspect Mining Operation Disturbed Area (acres) A Active Mining Area: 1. Near vertical active mining face and 100 -foot wide pre -stripped area in anticipation of mining. 2. Near vertical un-reclaimed pit side slopes. 3. Un-reclaimed pit floor. 13.8 B Material Harvesting Area and Pit Backfilling 1. Material harvest area in un-mined area — 78 acres. 2. Partially reclaimed pit, backfilled with harvested overburden material to grade — 30.5 acres. 108.5 C Miscellaneous Disturbed Areas: 1. Scale house building area. 2. Internal haul roads. 3. Main site access road. 2.0 D Final Reclamation: 1. Seeding. 2. Re-seedin . NA Total Disturbed Area 124.3 I Diversions and Impoundments The existing grade of the proposed permit area generally drains from north to south. Stormwater that falls directly on disturbed areas will generally drain to the mine pit and allowed to infiltrate. The active mine pit will effectively contain stormwater flows and prevent surface runoff from disturbed areas of the site. Stormwater not encountering disturbed areas will be allowed to drain within natural drainage patterns. Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 8 Material Processing and Associated Facilities A portable processing facility for product crushing and screening will be brought to the site and used as needed. The facility will be located within the pit close to where active mining is occurring or near the site entrance. A fueling/lubricating station, generators, and outdoor storage may also be located near the portable processing facility. Pit run material will be hauled or conveyed to the processing plant where raw material and product stockpiles will be located. Alternatively, the material may be hauled off -site as pit run for direct use or processing elsewhere. In addition to the portable processing facility, a portable asphalt plant may also be used on the site as needed. The asphalt plant would be located in the mine pit or close to the site entrance near the portable processing facility to minimize material handling and hauling distances. A mine office/scale house trailer will be established near the site entrance. The office/scale house area may be used for employee parking, equipment fueling/lubricating, or equipment storage. Commodities to be Mined and Intended Use Sand and gravel for use as construction materials will be the primary products produced from the proposed Lazy Two Pit site. Test pits have verified that commercial deposits of sand and gravel exist up to about 10 feet below the surface of the ground. In addition to the commercial sand and gravel materials, clay, silt, and other non -marketable topsoil and overburden materials will be used on -site for reclamation. Use of Explosives Since the material is unconsolidated deposits, no explosives or blasting is required. Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 9 EXHIBIT E Reclamation Plan This plan covers the proposed Lazy Two Pit final reclamation activities. Final Proposed Land Use The current land use for the Lazy Two Pit property is rangeland. The use of this land is not expected to change. Most of the land surrounding the proposed permit area has similar uses of rangeland and open space. With so much open, undeveloped land in the surrounding area, maintaining this land as rangeland is consistent with the more regional land uses. General Overview of the Reclamation Plan Reclamation of the proposed permit area is fairly straightforward. Much of the pit, after mining, will contain a pit floor that gently slopes from north to south. The pit floor will be backfilled and graded to connect with existing drainages. Reclaimed mine pit side slopes will be created by backfilling the near vertical mining highwalls with overburden. All areas disturbed by mining activities will be prepared with topsoil and overburden and revegetated during reclamation. Revegetation will generate a blend of grass species and, given suitable precipitation, should produce good vegetation cover over much of the reclaimed site. In general, shallower reclaimed slopes will provide easier access during reclamation and safer access for ranching equipment following mining. Shallower slopes will also aid in establishing vegetation growth and minimize erosion. Therefore, no slopes will be reclaimed any steeper than 3H:1 V. Grading of pit side slopes and the pit bottom will attempt to adhere to the surrounding natural topography and drainage patterns. In order for the reclaimed pit to drain naturally, the southern side of the pit will be backfilled such that the pit bottom to the north can grade gently into the existing grade at the southern end of the proposed permit boundary. The mine office/scale house trailer, portable processing facility, asphalt plant, and any other structures associated with mining will be removed from the site during final reclamation activities. Roads not necessary for future access and other disturbed areas will be reclaimed with topsoil and overburden replacement and vegetative cover to stabilize the areas and minimize erosion. Materials Handling All available topsoil material will be used for backfilling. Similar to mining, earth moving equipment may include, but are not limited to dozers, loaders, scrapers, and excavators. Additional farm equipment for grading and seeding may be used for revegetation activities. Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 10 Materials Handling - Backfilling It is estimated that approximately one million cubic yards (cyds) of combined topsoil and overburden will be available for backfilling. At the southern end of the site, the pit will be backfilled to existing grade, or approximately 5570 amsl (see Exhibit F, Reclamation Plan Map). From the southern end, backfilling the pit to an approximate elevation of 5570 amsl will continue north until the top of the backfill elevation matches grade with the bottom of the mined -out pit. With the north to south pre -mining ground surface grade of about 0.7-0.8 percent, and backfilling the south end of the pit to create a near flat (0.1 percent) final backfill surface grade, this will occur approximately 1,500 feet north of the southern proposed permit boundary and require less than 0.5 million cyds of backfill. The remainder of the pit floor to the north will receive only enough overburden backfill to establish a growth medium for revegetation. The pit slopes in the northern portion of the site, and any others not previously backfilled, will be backfilled to achieve final reclaimed slopes of 3H:1 V or flatter (see Exhibit F, Reclamation Plan Map). Backfilling of the pit and side slopes as described will place the material necessary to grade the site for vegetation growth and drainage. Materials Handling - Grading Blending of the pit into the natural drainage will be important to prevent pooling of water in the pit bottom. The backfilled southern portion of the pit will be graded to let stormwater flow freely through the reclaimed site. The final grading will blend the topographic contouring from the pit floor with the undisturbed topography south of the site. Where 3H:1 V pit side slopes exist, they will be graded to transition into the relatively flat pit floor gradually, avoiding a sharp slope break that could encourage erosion. Grading of the pit floor may leave a subtle rolling topography rather than a completely flat bottom depending on varying depths of the sand and gravel deposit. The variations in topography will not create water catchment areas, but shall be graded to drain freely. The gentle slope of the topography will control water flow and create a variety of microenvironments for vegetation growth. The side slopes will also not be graded smooth, but will contain a low profile ridging pattern that follows the contour. Final grading that leaves this type of ridging pattern helps to capture water for plant growth as well as reduce the velocity of runoff and slope erosion. On these slopes, erosion may present a maintenance issue for the first year or two of revegetation if there are large, drenching thunderstorms, but more normal low intensity thunderstorms should not create more than minor rilling. All backfilling and grading will be done to stabilize the material and control erosion. Final grading and seeding will be done as soon as possible after backfilling, grading, and topsoiling have been completed. There will not be known toxic or hazardous materials in the backfill material. The reclamation will not leave high walls on the property. In addition, there will be no auger holes, excavations, or shafts left on the property. Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 11 Topsoil and Revegetation The growth medium for revegetation will be a combination of overburden and topsoils. Unfortunately, there is not a large quantity of quality topsoil available at the site. The topsoil is only marginally different from the overburden, with its main distinction being slightly higher in organic matter. Because of its thin and scarce occurrence, true topsoil stripping will likely incorporate some of the underlying silty clay overburden material. Every effort will be made to separate true topsoil stripping, but even with the incorporation of some overburden material, it is not anticipated that large quantities of the topsoil/overburden growth medium will be available for reclamation. Because of its limited availability, the topsoil/overburden growth medium may not be placed evenly over the entire site. The floor of the pit will likely need less growth medium because moisture accumulation there will help vegetation growth and new soil development. Therefore, only about six inches of the topsoil/overburden growth medium will be placed on the pit floor. The same dressing will be used for areas where stockpiles, access roads, or mining structures have been removed and the underlying material has been scarified in preparation for reclamation. A minimum of one foot of growth medium will be placed on backfilled or otherwise created pit slopes. The extra thickness of growth medium will help to retain moisture on the slopes and provide a deeper rooting zone to help protect against erosion. When spreading growth medium on slopes, the same requirements for general grading will be followed. Final grading prior to seeding will only follow the contours of the slope, creating ridging patterns that follow the contour, and will never produce tracks up and down the slope. Planting of the site will be done as areas are finished with preparation after grading and spreading topsoil/overburden growth medium. Planting will occur seasonally to allow for timely germination with available moisture and to provide the highest possibility for growth success. If possible, planting will be performed between mid -November and the end of April. Drill seeding is the preferred method for revegetation. Grass seed should be planted with a drill equipped with depth bands and press wheels. On this site, broadcast seeding is not advisable as seed burial would be limited. If broadcast seeding is necessary on moist soils, steep slopes, or in excessively rocky areas, success can be encouraged by broadcasting onto growth medium that is very loose, such as occurs immediately after spreading the plant growth medium. If the seed is broadcast in those circumstances, then the seeded area will be dragged to help bury the seed. At this time, no fertilizer or mulch is being proposed. On west and south facing slopes, mulch may be applied if desired, but only if the mulch is very strongly crimped into the soil. On this site, straw mulch, unless well anchored would most likely just blow away, providing little benefit. If mulch is used, certified weed -less straw mulch at a rate of 2,000 pounds per acre should be applied. However, no fertilizer is recommended for revegetation of the Lazy Two Pit permit area. Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 12 The reclamation seed mixture was provided by the Natural Resources Conservation Service for mine land reclamation in the region of the proposed permit area and is listed below. Revegetation Seed Mix Species Rate (lbs PLS/acre) Wheatgrass, Western 4.80 Grama, Sideoats 1.82 Grama, Blue 0.50 Green needlegrass 1.92 Buffalograss (bur) 1.65 TOTAL 10.69 Rates are for drill seeding. If broadcast seeding is used, double seeding rates. If a significant invasion of noxious weeds occurs after seeding, the weeds will be mowed before they can go to seed. The areas will be mowed periodically for additional control as needed. Mechanical control will be used as a first priority. Chemical methods will only be used if no other alternative produces acceptable results. Periodic inspection for noxious weeds, at least once a year early in the season, will be done. The weed inspection will search for not only the expected species but also any new List A or B species introductions. It is likely that non -noxious and List C species will also be found. Non - noxious weeds, which are often native invaders, do not need to be controlled, but if the population of a List C species is controllable then it will be included in the control program. List C noxious species are problematic but are usually not as serious as List B species. List B species in Colorado and utilized for Weld County weed management include: Absinth wormwood, Black henbane, Bouncingbet, Bull thistle, Canada thistle, Chinese clematis, Common tansy, Common teasel, Corn chamomile, Cutleaf teasel, Dalmatian toadflax, Dame's rocket, Diffuse knapweed, Eurasian watermilfoil, Hoary cress, Houndstongue, Jointed goatgrass, Leafy spurge, Mayweed chamomile, Moth mullein, Musk thistle, Oxeye daisy, Perennial pepperweed, Plumeless thistle, Quackgrass, Russian knapweed, Russian -olive, Salt cedar, Scentless chamomile, Scotch thistle, Spotted knapweed, Spurred anoda, Sulfur cinquefoil, Venice mallow, Wild caraway, Yellow nutsedge, and Yellow toadflax. All List A species must be eradicated by law. These weeds include African rue, Bohemian knotweed, Camelthorn, Common crupina, Cypress spurge, Dyer's woad, Elongated mustard, Giant knotweed, Giant salvinia, Hydrilla, Japanese knotweed, meadow knapweed, Mediterranean sage, Medusahead, Myrtle spurge, Orange hawkweed, Purple loosestrife, Rush skeletonweed, Squarrose knapweed, Tansy ragwort, and Yellow starthistle. The current complete list of noxious weed species and local management plans is available from the Weld County Weed Division. Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 13 Wildlife Current wildlife conditions and potential impacts are described in Exhibit H, Wildlife Information. Water — General Requirement No groundwater is expected to be encountered in the mining and therefore groundwater in the area should not be affected. Although the pit floor will have a gentle, possibly rolling, topography as described above, discharge from the pit to the existing drainage will still occur. Since the retention of water in the pit is not allowed under Colorado water law without prior approval, pit floor configurations will keep water draining from the site. Grading will minimize steep slopes and other areas that could create high runoff velocities and excessive erosion. The discharge from the pit will be intentionally directed into existing drainageways. Thus, the edge of the pit will likely have not only a horizontal blending to produce smooth slope transitions, but it will be vertically variable to match rises and falls in the topography just beyond the pit edge. Initially, silt fence or other sedimentation best management techniques shall be installed in all significant drainages within about 50 feet of the edge of the affected land. Until the vegetation develops on the pit floor there will be a fair amount of sediment discharge from the regraded and seeded pit floor. These best management practices will aid in reducing the amount of sediment that leaves the affected land. To minimize the effect on the prevailing hydrologic balance, the operator shall: a. Comply with all applicable Colorado water laws. b. Comply with all applicable Federal and State water quality laws and regulations. c. Comply with all Federal and State requirements for dredge and fill. d. Perform all work to minimize erosion and sediment transport. No irrigation will be used in establishing the vegetation, so no water rights are required for those purposes. No water storage will occur in the pit. Current water resource conditions and potential surface water and groundwater impacts are described in Exhibit G, Water Information. Buildings and Structures There are no existing buildings or structures in the proposed permit area and no structures will be left following reclamation. Signs and Markers Permit notification signs will be placed and maintained at the entrance to the operation. The permit boundary will be identified where it is not already identified by fences or suitable markers. All signs and markers will be removed upon permit release. Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 14 EXHIBIT F Reclamation Plan Map See attached map. Exhibit F: Reclamation Plan Map Lazy Two Pit DBMS 112 Permit Application Page 15 FILE CONTAINS OVERSIZED MAP PLEASE SEE ORIGINAL FILE EXHIBIT G Water Information The proposed permit area is located in Section 11, Township 10 North, Range 67 West of the 6th Principal Meridian, Weld County, Colorado. The proposed permit area includes 304.3 acres. Introduction There are no surface water resources within the proposed permit area (see Exhibit C-4, Water Resource Map). According to United States Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5 -Minute Series maps (Carr SW and Dover quadrangles) an ephemeral drainage bisects the proposed site from north to south, but no defined bed, bank, or channel exists on the property. The principle drainage systems in the area are Lone Tree Creek approximately 1-2 miles east of the site and the Spring Creek drainage system about 1.5 miles to the west. The ephemeral drainage within the proposed permit boundary illustrated on the USGS maps does not connect to either primary drainage system and dissipates just south of the property. Neither the Lone Tree Creek or Spring Creek drainage have associated regulatory floodplains near the proposed permit area. The only registered groundwater well within 600 feet of the proposed permit area is owned by the proposed permit property owner (see Exhibit C-4, Water Resource Map). Regardless, the proposed mining operation does not anticipate encountering groundwater and no impacts to the surrounding groundwater hydrology are expected. Potential Mining and Reclamation Impacts The proposed mining operation will have no affect on site water resources. Water is primarily used for dust control and is trucked from off -site sources. Water use for washing of product materials is not anticipated. As discussed in previous sections, it is not expected to encounter groundwater during mining and stormwater will not be retained in the active mine pit or in the reclaimed pit area. Prior to the site being graded to drain stormwater freely, if stormwater accumulates in the pit and does not readily infiltrate, pumps will be used to remove the water and return it to the downstream drainage. Water Quality Mining and reclamation operations shall comply with Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Colorado Discharge Permitting System (CDPS) for stormwater management. A permit will be obtained that includes the continued updating and implementation of a site Stormwater Management Plan designed to prevent the contact and transport of potential contaminants to surface waters by stormwater flows. Due to the absence of large quantities of potential pollutants on site, the mining and reclamation operations will not affect groundwater quality on or off the site. As stated above, mining and reclamation activities shall operate under a CDPS permit and Stormwater Management Plan. The plan provides for regular inspections of potential contaminant areas such as mobile equipment and fuel or lubricant storage locations. Inspections and best management practices are incorporated into the plan to protect both surface and groundwater quality. Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 16 EXHIBIT H Wildlife Information To evaluate potential wildlife habitat impacts from the proposed operation, information was gathered from the Natural Diversity Information Source (NDIS) as well as publications associated with the Pawnee National Grasslands to the east of the site. The NDIS combines plant and animal abundance data from the Colorado Division of Wildlife (CDOW) and other Colorado natural resource agencies to be used for land -use analyses and decisions. The proposed permit area is managed rangeland with mining and railroad activities on nearby properties. The site primarily contains upland rangeland with no water, riparian, or wetland habitats. Upland areas consist primarily of native and introduced grasses for grazing. There are no known federally threatened, endangered, or candidate species within the proposed site boundary. Federally threatened, endangered, or candidate species that could potentially be found in Weld County or that could potentially be affected by projects in Weld County include the Preble's meadow jumping mouse, interior least tern, Mexican piping plover, whooping crane, pallid sturgeon, Colorado butterfly plant, Ute ladies' -tresses orchid, and the western prairie fringed orchid. Suitable habitat for these species is not noticeable on the site and none of these species have been observed or documented within the proposed site boundary. Colorado state threatened, endangered, and species of concern that could potentially be found in Weld County or that could potentially be affected by projects in Weld County include the black - tailed prairie dog, Northern river otter, swift fox, American peregrine falcon, bald eagle, ferruginous hawk, greater sandhill crane, long -billed curlew, mountain plover, Western burrowing owl, Western snowy plover, plains minnow, suckermouth minnow, brassy minnow, common shiner, Iowa darter, stonecat, common garter snake, and Northern leopard frog. For many of these species, potentially suitable habitat does not exist within the proposed permit area. Potentially suitable habitat does exist within the proposed permit area for mammal and bird species such as the black -tailed prairie dog, swift fox, and Western burrowing owl. However, burrows that could be associated with these species have not been observed on the proposed site. No potential raptor nests were found in the project area. Many birds may use habitats similar to those found at the proposed permit site, either year- round, seasonally for nesting, or temporarily for roosting during migration. Some of the common or abundant species could include robins, orioles, starlings, magpies, longspurs, lark bunting, doves, kingbirds, and blackbirds. Because of the lack of open water habitat within and near the proposed permit area, shore birds and waterfowl are not likely to be present. It could be expected that most mammals common or abundant in Weld County would not be found near or within the proposed permit area. Smaller mammals that might be found at the proposed project site might include mice, voles, gophers, rabbits, raccoons, and skunks. Some of the larger mammals could include both mule and white tailed deer, antelope, coyote, and fox. Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 17 The mining and reclamation activities may disturb some of the wildlife within the proposed permit area and adjacent area. However, the activities will be confined to specific areas and total disturbance at one time will be limited. Impacts to wildlife following reclamation will be minimal. After removal of the gravels and the creation of a basin within the mine pit, wildlife habitat could be better on the bottom of the pit where vegetation growth may be more abundant. Grading of the mine pit floor may improve drainage, potentially creating better vegetation growth conditions and an increase in wildlife utilization. However, water availability will still be limiting. The nearby Lone Tree Creek and Spring Creek drainages will likely still contain the primary wildlife habitat in the area. Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 18 EXHIBIT I Soil Information At the end of this exhibit are some printouts from the NRCS website that describe many of the typical characteristics of the soils present on the site. Please refer to Exhibit C-2, Soils Map, for an illustration showing the distribution of the soils. According to the Web Soil Survey (United States Department of Agriculture, NRCS, 2004) of the proposed permit area, there are three major soil types within the proposed project site: 1. Altvan and Ascalon fine sandy loams and 2. Platner loam. The location of these soil types is illustrated on Exhibit C-2, Soils Map. Traditional organic topsoil on most of the site is thin or non-existent, varying from 0 to 6 inches in depth. Most of the soils are undistinguishable from the general overburden material that consists of shallow, well drained loams. Over most of the identified sand and gravel deposit is a loamy, wind -mixed veneer layer of soil/overburden material varying from 0 to near 2 feet in depth. The soil/overburden material likely developed from alluvial and eolian deposits of clay, silts, and sands. Over time, erosive forces of wind and water have influenced the soils on the site and mobile soil/overburden particles, such as silt and clay, have eroded from higher topographic positions and have been re -deposited in lower areas. The aggregate deposits and loamy soil/overburden material are underlain by a variable pattern of unconsolidated shale and sandstone parent materials. Altvan and Ascalon Fine Sandy Loams The Altvans and Ascalons are found on level and nearly level (0 to 6 percent slopes) land forms. Located on loamy plains throughout the area, these soil types are well drained and classified as Hydrologic Soil Group B. They are also the most dominant soil types within the proposed project site. The water table is typically more than 80 inches below the soils. Areas containing these soils are used mainly for rangeland and wildlife habitat. Their water holding capacity is low to moderate and typically do best as seeded rangeland. These soils produce low plant densities of Blue Grama/Buffalo Grass sod with excessive ground litter. Platner Loam Platner soils are found on level and nearly level (0 to 3 percent slopes) land forms. Located on summits and interfluves, these soil types are well drained and classified as Hydrologic Soil Group C. They are a dominant soil type within the proposed project site. The water table is typically more than 80 inches below the soils. Areas containing these soils are used mainly for non -irrigated cropland and rangeland. Winter wheat is the primary crop. Permeability of the soil is slow and the available water capacity is high. Low annual precipitation is the primary limitation for the crops that can be grown in this soil. The potential plant community on these soils is mainly Blue Grama, Western Wheatgrass, sedges and Buffalo Grass.

Disturbance to vegetation within the proposed permit area is limited to previous grazing by the owner's cattle and limited tilling for better grass production. Upon completion of mining activities, reclamation will seed disturbed areas with a mixture of native grass species. The vegetation in northeastern Colorado is generally classified as a shortgrass prairie ecoregion. The shortgrass prairie has traditionally been separated from other grassland in the Great Plains area on the basis of the relative height of the dominant grasses. This view is no longer held by ecologists. Besides the low rainfall and dominance of short grasses, one of the better means to distinguish between the shortgrass and the midgrass or tall grass prairies is that in the shortgrass region all of the available soil moisture is transpired before the end of the growing season. In general, less than 50 percent of the ground in shortgrass regions is covered by vegetation. This is an important aspect of the proposed permit area for maximizing and determining reclamation success. Most of the uplands are sparsely covered with prairie grasses such as Blue Grama, Buffalo Grass, Western Wheatgrass, and Prairie Sandreed. The height of some grasses may reach 12 inches during periods of maximum growth, but most stands of grass do not reach that height. There are no trees or shrubs within the proposed permit area. Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 20 EXHIBIT K Climate The proposed permit area exhibits a semi -arid climate typical of the High Plains region. The region is characterized by low humidity, low average precipitation, and a high percentage of sunshine. A large amount of the precipitation which occurs falls during short duration, high intensity summer thunderstorm activity. Climate information was available from the Western Regional Climate Center in Fort Collins, Colorado and Cheyenne, Wyoming. Fort Collins is about 38 miles south-southwest of the proposed site and Cheyenne is approximately 18 miles north-northeast of the proposed permit area. The climate data collected from 1893 through 2013 and 1915 through 2013 for Fort Collins and Cheyenne, respectively, indicates the total annual precipitation at the site to be approximately 15.1 inches per year. Monthly average temperature and precipitation data for the periods of record are provided in the following tables.

It is assumed that the time of maximum mining disturbance will be almost midway through mining activities. During this scenario, no reclamation will have been performed on the active mining face nor the near vertical side slopes on both sides of the mining face. Reclamation of the pit in the southern portion of the site will be about half way complete. This portion of the pit will need to be backfilled and graded to let stormwater flow freely through the reclaimed site. During mining, backfilling of the pit will progress in one area such that final grade will be achieved and the backfilled area can be topsoiled and revegetated prior to beginning backfilling in another area. However, in the maximum potential reclamation liability scenario, approximately half of the pit area (30.5 acres) will require additional backfill, grading, topsoiling, and seeding to create a final pit floor grade that will drain stormwater freely. The active mining area will include the active mining face, un-reclaimed pit side slopes, and un-reclaimed active mining area pit floor. This active mining area will be separate from the pit in the southern portion of the site described above. The active mining face will be near vertical with a maximum length of 1,000 feet and an average height of 10 feet. In front of the active mining face, an area 100 feet wide will have been pre -stripped in anticipation of mining (2.3 acres). In addition, a maximum 500 feet of un-reclaimed pit side slopes may be adjacent to each end of the active mine face. These side slopes will also be near vertical with an average height of 10 feet. Framed by the active mining face and pit side slopes, the pit floor (11.5 acres) will be un-reclaimed, contain overburden, raw material, and product stockpiles and, when needed, the portable processing facility and asphalt plant may be located here. During normal reclamation, the mining face and active pit side slopes would be backfilled to a minimum 3H:1 V slope. However, if mining stops at this maximum potential reclamation liability point, the mine face and pit side slopes will not be adjacent to the permit boundary and the highwalls can more efficiently be dozed to the required 3H:1 V or flatter slope. Following dozing, the areas will be rough graded in preparation for topsoil/overburden growth medium placement, final grading, and seeding for revegetation. The active mining pit floor will receive only enough topsoil/overburden backfill to establish a growth medium for revegetation. In addition to the active mining area, parts of the mine pit in the southern portion of the site will need to be backfilled, graded, topsoiled, and revegetated. To generate the material necessary to complete backfilling of the pit so that it will drain freely, additional material will need to be harvested from the un-mined portion of the site. Topsoil/overburden material will first be stripped from the material harvest area (78 acres) and stockpiled. Then the underlying overburden will be removed and used to finish backfilling the pit. Finally, the topsoil/overburden material will be replaced over the material harvest area to establish a growth medium for revegetation. Miscellaneous disturbed areas at the point of maximum potential reclamation liability will include the scale house area, internal haul roads, and the main site access road. These areas will Lazy Two Pit DRMS 112 Permit Application Page 23 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 two (2) acres. Since quality topsoil is scarce on the Lazy Two Pit site, vegetation growth medium will include the best quality topsoil/overburden material available. If available, a minimum of 6 inches of growth medium will be placed on all disturbed areas following backfilling, scarifying, and/or rough grading. Final grading of the topsoil/overburden growth medium will prepare the surface for seeding. After initial seeding and the first season's growth, it is estimated that approximately 20 percent of the seeded area will need to be re -seeded. Stockpiles with available topsoil/overburden for backfilling will be near the active mining area, pit, and other areas for reclamation, so haul distances will generally be less than 1,000 feet. Each aspect is listed in the following table with associated disturbed area. Please refer to Exhibit D, Pre-Mining/Mining Plan, for a listing of disturbed areas that total 124.3 acres. This estimate will follow the same order as the listing in Exhibit D. Connell Resources Inc. is an earth moving and construction contractor and unit costs for reclamation activities were provided from bidding documents associated with similar projects. Since all structures used in the mining operation are portable, it is assumed that removal of the structures do not have associated costs.

The mining will not intercept groundwater so highwalls will not be saturated and the total pit depth will only be about 10 feet. Mining highwalls will remain at least twice the pit depth from the proposed permit boundary and ground beyond the permit boundary will remain stable. Since all mining and reclamation activities will be performed within the permit boundary, no impacts to man-made structures outside the permit boundary are anticipated. A list of observed and recorded man-made structures within 200 feet of the proposed permit boundary, organized by land parcel where the structure was observed, is provided below.
