County Road Wellington, Colorado 80549 Re: Agreement for Compensation for Damage to Structures within 200 Feet of Mining Activities Dear Mr. Koskie: On October 30, 2013, the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County approved and authorized the Chairman's signature on a document entitled, "Right to Enter Agreement to Obtain Soil and/or Gravel for Road Purposes," with you being listed as the"Owner" in the Agreement. The property is: East 1/2 of Section 12, Township 10 North, Range 67 West of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado ("the Property"). Weld County is currently applying for a permit from the State of Colorado, Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety ("DRMS"), to mine the property. The DRMS permit application requires the submittal of an agreement between the prospective permit holder and owners of structures located within 200 feet of the proposed area to be mined, agreeing to provide compensation to the owners if the mining causes any damages to the structures. Clay Kimmi, Senior Engineer for Weld County, has informed me that the County's mining operations on the Property will come within approximately 30 feet of the fence lines on the north and west sides of the mine permit area, and within approximately 50 feet of your windmill and livestock water well. Mr. Kimmi reports that: "Slope stability will not be an issue because we will not mine to a high wall (vertical wall)condition and the reclamation slopes will have to be shallow enough to allow farm implements to traverse it. The well sits at an elevation that is about 15 feet lower than the current land surface. We will mine about 15 feet of material. Therefore, in the vicinity of the well, the final land surface will be about the same elevation as the well so there are no slope stability issues." The purpose of this letter is to request your authorization to conduct mining and reclamation activities within 200 feet of these structures. In return for such authorization, Weld County agrees to provide you with fair compensation if, in the course of conducting the mining and reclamation activities, the structures are damaged as a direct result of the activities. 4. Letter Agreement, Koskie March 27, 2014 Page 2 Your acknowledged signature below grants permission for Weld County to conduct mining and reclamation activities within 200 feet of the following structures: the fence lines on the north and west sides of the mine permit area, and the windmill and livestock water well located adjacent to the mine permit area. If you have any questions, please feel free to call Bruce T. Barker, Weld County Attorney, at (970)356-4000, ext. 4390, or Mr. Kimmi at(970)356-4000, ext. 3750. Sincerely, Douglas Rademacher, Chairman Board of County Commissioners of Weld County Please sign below, have your signature acknowledged in the space provided, and send this document to: Bruce'I'.
