It is anticipated that mining will be done using excavators, front end loaders, dozers, scrapers, and haul trucks. Weld County Road 136.5 extends east -west along the north edge of the Peters 313 site (see Exhibit C2). An access road has been constructed from Weld County Road 136.5 to the Peters 313 site. Gravel excavation and processing areas will be accessed from that road. Any trash generated will be collected in an on -site dumpster and disposed of at the County landfill. No chemicals are anticipated to be utilized at the site. b) Earth Moving Excavation and stockpiling volumes are anticipated to be approximately 100,000 tons per year. The excavation of gravel and sand reserves is estimated to take 5 years or less. Approximately 20 to 25 acres (15 acres for stockpiling and processing and 5 to 10 acres for mining) will be disturbed during the initial phase of the mining operation. MSHA approved open excavation and fall protection safety measures including fencing and berms will be installed as needed. During, and following mining, the side slopes of the pit will be graded for stability and will be re -vegetated as needed to meet the reclamation plan. There is typically less than twelve inches of topsoil at the Peters 313 site. Topsoil will be stockpiled around the perimeter of the permit area as shown on the mine plan map (see Exhibit C2). The topsoil piles will be seeded to prevent erosion and loss of soil. c) Water Diversions and Impoundments The Peters 313 property is tributary to Porter Creek which is an intermittent stream that is typically dry most months of the year. Berms will be constructed around the perimeter of the permit area to retain onsite surface water runoff. Additionally, the pit floor will be sloped back into the pit in order to minimize the amount of water running down the unmined slopes located below the mining operation. There are no irrigation structures or surface water impoundments existing or planned at the site. Water needs for gravel mining and processing operations are expected to be minimal. Water for dust control can be obtained and hauled from existing County -owned wells that have been decreed for dust control and industrial uses. Water used in mining and crushing operations and for dust control is estimated to not exceed 4,000 gallons per month during operations. It is anticipated that sand and gravel excavation, crushing, and stockpiling at the site will not disturb surface water or ground water quality. Erosion control measures (Best Management Practices) will be installed along the perimeter of disturbed areas. A Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Stormwater Construction Permit will be obtained prior to the start of mining operations. Previous test pitting performed by others at the Peters 313 site shows the water table is located more than 15 feet below the surface; therefore, it is anticipated that no groundwater will be encountered at the site. Weld County will ensure the pit excavation will not expose groundwater in the event that mining exceeds 15 feet by staying a minimum of two feet above groundwater. According to information obtained from the Colorado Division of Water Resources GIS files, the Peters 313 site is not located within a designated groundwater basin. d) Work Area Size Minimal stockpiling of overburden is anticipated. Mined soils unsuitable for construction use will be separated from the mined gravels and may be stockpiled at the site. These soil stockpiles will be utilized for excavation backfill and site reclamation. The active mining work area at any time will be approximately 5 to 10 acres in size. The active crushing work area at any time will be approximately 10 to 15 acres in size. e) Operation Time Table Mining operations have begun within the original permit area (M-2015-045). It is anticipated that sand and gravel excavation, processing (rock crushing and screening), and stockpiling within the amendment area will commence upon receipt of approval from the Colorado Division of Mining and Geology, and receipt of other necessary permits. Mining will start on the northwest portion of the permitted area and progress to the southeast. Gravel excavation and processing will be seasonal with stockpiling of gravel for future uses depending upon local road repair and construction needs. The material in stockpiles may be hauled out of the site at any time. The Peters site should not be considered an intermittent operation. f) Mined and Unmined Stratum on the Site Alluvial material will be mined to bedrock. The estimated thickness of gravel -bearing zones varies from 0 to 20 feet thick. No high wall mining is anticipated. The sand and gravel deposits to be mined are stream channel deposits associated with Porter Creek, an ephemeral stream that flows from Wyoming into Colorado and eventually joins Crow Creek. Therefore, the thickness of overburden to be removed during gravel extraction is expected to be minimal. g) Commodities to be Extracted Sand and gravel are the primary commodities that will be extracted at the Peters 313 site. The enclosed mine plan map (Exhibit C2) shows the locations for the haul road, gravel processing (crusher) location, and soil and gravel product stockpile areas. A mobile rock crusher and screen plant will be installed in the crusher location shown on the enclosed mine plan map (Exhibit C2) during intermittent crushing operations. It is anticipated the crusher and other equipment will be located on the site for 6 to 12 months at a time. Once approximately 100,000 tons of material have been crushed, the crusher and other equipment will be moved to other County -operated gravel processing sites. The County will haul material from the stockpiles for its construction and roadbuilding activities. Once the stockpiles are depleted, the County will move the crusher back into the site and start the cycle over again. No secondary commodities are anticipated to be extracted or produced at the Peters 313 site, and no asphalt plants or concrete batch plants will be utilized. h) Intended Use of Extracted Products Gravel and sand extracted from the site will be utilized by Weld County Public Works Department for repair and maintenance of local County roads and other County construction projects. Soils and mined materials unsuitable for road construction may be stockpiled at the site. These soil stockpiles may be used for excavation backfill and site reclamation on County -operated projects. The sale of commercial gravel or sand is not anticipated. i) Explosive Use Explosives will not be used at this site. Exhibit E Peters 313 Site Reclamation Plan Post -mining Land Use: The post -mining land use will be rangeland. The land included in this permit is owned by Mr. Peters, and the pre -mining land use was rangeland. The permit area is surrounded by rangeland also owned by Mr. Peters. Regrading: Reclaimed areas will be stabilized by concurrent regrading on areas of the site where excavation has been completed. Reclaimed slopes will be graded at a maximum of three to one (3:1) horizontal to vertical in a pattern similar to the pre -mining slopes. The final pit floor configuration will be graded so that any storm water will be directed along its historical flow path. See Exhibit F. The mining area access road will be removed unless the property owner requests otherwise. Seeding: Disturbed areas will be reclaimed with a native grass mixture. The proposed seed mix for the disturbed areas is as follows: Buffalo Grass (Texoka, Sharps Improved) Little Bluestem Sideoats Grama (Vaughn, Butte, Niner, El Reno, Haskell) Blue Grama (Hachital, Lovington) Western Wheatgrass (Arriba, Barton, Rosana) Switchgrass (Grenville, Nebraska 28, Blackwell, Pathfinder) Sand dropseed Total: 2.5 lbs. / acre 1.5 lbs./acre 2 lbs. / acre 3 lbs./acre 3 lbs. / acre 2 lbs. / acre 0.25 lbs. / acre 14.5 lbs./acre Seeding of the disturbed areas will be completed between December 1 and May 1. The area will be monitored until 70% of the original ground cover level is achieved. Depending on ambient conditions, the application method for those areas being seeded may be hand broadcast, hydro -seeded, or drilled and crimped. Mulch application at the rate of 2 tons/ac may be concurrent with seeding. Mulch may include hay, straw and tackifier. All hay or straw mulch shall be certified noxious weed free grass hay or crop straw. At least 70% of the mulch by weight shall be 10 inches or more in length. Mulch shall not contain any noxious weeds, mold, must, cake, or decay. Straw mulch shall not contain excessive viable grain (wheat, barley, or oat seed.) Weed Control: Noxious weeds on the site will be controlled by Weld County. Noxious weeds are Canada thistle, field bindweed, Dalmatian toadflax and diffuse knapweed. i. Canada thistle will be sprayed with Milestone at 7 oz/ac or Tordon 22K at 32 oz/ac when the plant is 6 to 10 inches tall up to the bud stage and/or in the fall as needed. ii. Field bindweed will be sprayed with Perspective at 5 oz/ac or Tordon 22K and 2,4D each at 32 oz/ac when the plant is in the flower stage and/or in the fall as needed. iii. Dalmatian toadflax will be sprayed with Tordon at 32 oz/ac and Telar at 2 oz/ac in the early flower stage and/or in the fall as needed. iv. Diffuse knapweed will be sprayed with Milestone at 7 oz/acre or Tordon 22 K and 2,4-D each at 32 oz /ac when the plant is in the rosette to early bolting stage. iv. If needed, one or two mowing treatments per year may be utilized to help suppress other vegetation that may compete with grass establishment in the disturbed areas outside of the areas that are returned to cropland. v. The property will be monitored once a month from May through October, providing adequate time to implement the spraying program as described above. Fertilizers: No fertilizers will be used. Trees and Shrubs: No trees, shrubs, or forbs will be planted. Topsoil Replacement: Topsoil will be stockpiled around the perimeter of the permit area, as shown on the mine plan map (see Exhibit C2). Piles will be seeded to prevent erosion and loss of soil. Topsoil will be replaced in a thicknesses equal to or exceeding (minimum 4 inches) the original topsoil depths found at the site.

Berms will be constructed around the perimeter of the permit area to retain onsite surface water runoff. Erosion control measures (Best Management Practices) will be installed along the perimeter of disturbed areas. A Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Stormwater Construction Permit will be obtained prior to the start of mining operations. Previous test pitting performed by others at the Peters site showed no indication of water above a depth of 15 feet below the surface; therefore, it is anticipated that no groundwater will be encountered at the site. Weld County will ensure the pit excavation will not expose groundwater in the event that mining exceeds 15 feet by staying a minimum of two feet above groundwater. According to information obtained from the Colorado Division of Water Resources GIS files, the Peters 313 site is not located within a designated groundwater basin. 3) Water needs for gravel mining and processing operations are expected to be minimal. Water used in mining and crushing operations and for dust control is estimated to not exceed 4000 gallons per month during operations. 4) Water for dust control purposes will be hauled from one of the County's water wells that are decreed for dust control and industrial purposes. 5) A National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit from the Water Quality Control Division at the Colorado Department of Health will not be necessary on this site because no water from the site will be discharged directly to surface waters. Exhibit H Peters 313 Site Wildlife Information The Division of Wildlife was contacted on October 20, 2015. Their comments and recommendations are included. Significant wildlife resources: This area serves as nesting ground for various species of migratory ground nesting birds in the spring and early summer months. Initial ground breaking in the area will commence at a time when nesting is not occurring (before April if possible). If the initial ground breaking should be projected to start near these times, the division of wildlife is able to complete a nest survey of the area to make sure no nests will be disturbed. Wildlife Species in the Area: Pronghorn Antelope Horned Larks Golden Eagle Mountain Plovers Endangered/Critical Species: None Critical Habitats impacted: None Weed Control: Noxious weeds on the site will be controlled by Weld County. Noxious weeds are Canada thistle, field bindweed, Dalmatian toadflax and diffuse knapweed. i. Canada thistle will be sprayed with Milestone at 7 oz/ac or Tordon 22K at 32 oz/ac when the plant is 6 to 10 inches tall up to the bud stage and/or in the fall as needed. ii. Field bindweed will be sprayed with Perspective at 5 oz/ac or Tordon 22K and 2,4D each at 32 oz/ac when the plant is in the flower stage and/or in the fall as needed. iii. Dalmatian toadflax will be sprayed with Tordon at 32 oz/ac and Telar at 2 oz/ac in the early flower stage and/or in the fall as needed. iv. Diffuse knapweed will be sprayed with Milestone at 7 oz/acre or Tordon 22 K and 2,4-D each at 32 oz /ac when the plant is in the rosette to early bolting stage. iv. If needed, one or two mowing treatments per year may be utilized to help suppress other vegetation that may compete with grass establishment in the disturbed areas outside of the areas that are returned to cropland. v. The property will be monitored once a month from May through October, providing adequate time to implement the spraying program as described above. Reclamation: Disturbed areas will be reclaimed with a native grass mixture. The proposed seed mix for the disturbed areas is as follows: Buffalo grass (Texoka, Sharps Improved) Little Bluestem Sideoats Grama (Vaughn, Butte, Niner, El Reno, Haskell) Blue Grama (Hachital, Lovington) Western Wheatgrass (Arriba, Barton, Rosana) Switchgrass (Grenville, Nebraska 28, Blackwell, Pathfinder) Sand Dropseed Total: 2.5 lbs. / acre 1.5 lbs./acre 2 lbs. / acre 3 lbs./acre 3 lbs. / acre 2 lbs. / acre 0.25 lbs. / acre 14.5 lbs./acre Seeding of the disturbed areas will be completed between December 1 and May 1. The area will be monitored until 70% of the original ground cover level is achieved. Depending on ambient conditions, the application method for those areas being seeded may be hand broadcast, hydro -seeded, or drilled and crimped. Mulch application at the rate of 2 tons/ac may be concurrent with seeding. Mulch may include hay, straw and tackifier. All hay or straw mulch shall be certified noxious weed free grass hay or crop straw. At least 70% of the mulch by weight shall be 10 inches or more in length. Mulch shall not contain any noxious weeds, mold, must, cake, or decay. Straw mulch shall not contain excessive viable grain (wheat, barley, or oat seed.) Exhibit I Peters 313 Soil Information Soils at the Peters 313 site are described on Sheets 13 and 36 in the Soil Survey of Weld County, Colorado — Northern Part published in 1981 by the Soil Conservation Service. Soils at the site include gravelly, and sandy loamy alluviums (Ardidic Calciustolls and Aridic Argiustolls) associated with the terraces of Porter Creek. These areas are shown on Exhibit C2, and on the map on the following page. The site contains approximately 30 acres of Ascalon fine sandy loam (unit 4), 105 acres of Peetz gravelly sandy loam (unit 51), approximately 10 acres of Ascalon sandy loam (unit 5), and approximately 5 acres of Paoli fine sandy loam (unit 49). The 1981 soil survey identifies the areas of Ascalon fine sandy loam describes a deep, well -drained soil with a fine sandy loam surface layer 8 inches thick(topsoil). Substratum to a depth of 60 inches or more is calcareous sandy loam. This unit is used as non -irrigated cropland and rangeland. The description given for Peetz gravelly sandy loam as a deep, somewhat excessively drained soil. The surface layer (topsoil) is greyish brown gravelly sandy loam 4 inches thick, and the lower part is brown very gravelly loamy sand 4 inches thick. The underlying material, to a depth of 60 inches or more, is calcareous very gravelly sand. Most areas of this unit are used as rangeland. A few areas are used as a source of gravel. The description given for Ascalon sandy loam describes a deep, well -drained soil with a sandy loam surface layer 6 inches thick. Substratum to a depth of 35 inches is sandy clay loam. Substratum to a depth of 35-80 inches is sandy loam. Most areas of this unit are used as rangeland. The description given for Paoli fine sandy loam describes a deep, well -drained soil, with a fine sandy loam surface layer 15 inches thick (topsoil).

Exhibit L Peters 313 Reclamation Costs See the attached mine reclamation map (Exhibit F) showing the proposed gradient of all disturbed slopes and the location of revegetation areas. It is anticipated that no ponds will be constructed or remain on site. The average thickness of overburden is minimal; however, overburden and excavated soil materials unsuitable for road construction will be use to backfill excavated areas and for site re- grading to stable slopes. Stockpiled topsoil will be placed on re -graded areas prior to re -seeding with approved plant type seed mixes. Final site reclamation costs include the cost of native dry land grass seed and mulch application. The mining plan includes concurrent regrading of mined areas. It is anticipated that final grading and placement of topsoil from on -site stockpiles, followed by re -seeding, will cost approximately $210,000. No financial warranty is required because Weld County is a County entity. A written guarantee will be provided stating that the affected lands will be reclaimed in accordance with the terms of the permit. Exhibit M Peters 313 Other Permits and Licenses Other permits required for the Peters 313 operation: 1. The proposed Peters 313 Pit Gravel Pit operation will comply with Weld County zoning regulations. a. Use by Special Review (USR) permit — approved by the Weld County Board of County Commissioners 2.

Exhibit S Peters 313 Permanent Man-made Structures There are no new manmade structures within 200 feet of the mineable area (see Exhibits Cl, C2, and F). Agreements for all structures within 200 feet of the original mineable area were sent via certified mail to each structure owner per the original permit application. Proof of mailing and any agreements received were included with the original permit application. Several manmade structures were addressed in the original permit application. John Peters owns a fence along the western boundary of the permit boundary. He also owns a private gravel road leading to a tank battery. EOG (now Highpoint Resources) owns a cattle guard at the entrance to a tank battery and the tank battery to the southwest of the permit boundary. The cattle guard is within 200 feet of the permit boundary and mineable area as shown in Exhibits C1 and C2. The tank battery is within 200 feet of the permit boundary but not within 200 feet of the mineable area. Mining operations will not occur within 200 feet of the tank battery. Weld County owns CR 136.5 and a cattle guard adjacent to the permit boundary. Weld County will ensure repairs of any damages to either the cattle guard or County Road 136.5. The OneOk Bakken Pipeline is within 200 feet of the permit boundary. In addition, the proposed haul road will cross over four gas pipeline easements, one of which is owned by Kinder Morgan and three owned by Tallgrass Energy Partners. An Engineering Evaluation is attached to provide information regarding measures Weld County will be taking to protect all structures within 200 feet of the permit area. Rule 1.6.2(1)(b) Public Notice PUBLIC NOTICE Weld County Public Works; P.O. Box 758, Greeley, CO 80632, 970-304-6496 , has filed an application for a Regular (112) Construction Materials Operation Reclamation Permit with the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board under provisions of the Colorado Land Reclamation Act for the Extraction of Construction Materials. The proposed mine is known as the Peters 313 Pit, and is located in Section 35, Township 12 North, Range 63 West, Sixth Prime Meridian. The proposed date of commencement is March 1, 2018, and the proposed date of completion is October 1, 2030. The proposed future use of the land is rangeland. Additional information and tentative decision date may be obtained from the Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety, 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, Colorado 80203, (303) 866-3567, or at the Weld County Clerk and Recorder's office; 1150 0 St, Greeley, CO 80632, or the above -named applicant. Comments must be in writing and must be received by the Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety by 4:00 p.m. on December 31, 2018. Please note that under the provisions of C.R.S. 34-32.5-101 et seq. Comments related to noise, truck traffic, hours of operation, visual impacts, effects on property values and other social or economic concerns are issues not subject to this Office's jurisdiction. These subjects, and similar ones, are typically addressed by your local governments, rather than the Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety or the Mined Land Reclamation Board. Peters 313 Pit Pre -Mining Engineering Evaluation The Peters 313 pit area currently has slopes ranging as steep as 5:1 and the area is stable. Weld County plans to mine the pit so all slopes are mined to a 3:1 slope or less. All slopes will be reclaimed to a 3:1 slope or less. No high wall mining will occur. The minimum offset from any structure will be 25 feet. In most areas, the distance from the structure to the edge of the pit will be much greater than 25 feet. To ensure that no vehicles or equipment travel onto the OneOk Bakken pipeline that runs north -south along the far west edge of the permit area, Weld County will construct the access road entirely outside of the 50 -foot pipeline easement (25 feet on each side of the pipe), on the East side. Additionally, Weld County will install a small berm along the western edge of the access road to prevent vehicles from wandering into the OneOk Bakken easement. There are four pipelines operated by Tallgrass and Kinder Morgan which will be crossed by the access road. The access road will be raised to add cover over all of these pipes. No mining will occur within 200 feet of the pipelines. A tank battery exists southwest of the site within 200 feet of the permit boundary, but not within 200 feet of the mineable area. To protect the tank battery, no mining operations will occur within 200 feet of the tank battery as shown in Exhibits C1 and C2. Weld County has included evidence of attempts to contact the owners of structures which are located within 200 feet of the mineable area. Copies of the structures agreements which have been signed are included with this application revision. Certified mail receipts for those structures owners which have not returned the agreement have also been included. Weld County commits to continuing to obtain structures agreements from those structure owners. Weld County also commits to compensating all structures owners if damage occurs to their structures as a result of our mining activity. >.,-: _ , .,.. ; _ , :. t , _ .. ,. �. -_� � ,,_�� _� .
