CERTIFIED MAIL <br />RETURN RECEIPT NO. 7011 1150 0001 6464 0988 <br />January 17, 2014 <br />9 <br />AGGREGATE <br />RECEIVED INDUSTRIES <br />Mr. Jim Dupler <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety JAN 212014 <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 won of Redeawbo,,, <br />Denver, CO 80203 VAnim & safety <br />Re: Permit No. M- 1989 -029 — Longmont Distel Operations - 112c Annual Report <br />Dear ,Tim: <br />Enclosed is Check No. 4000050380 in the amount of $791.00 for the annual fee for the <br />above- referenced permit, together with the Annual Report form for permit year ended <br />December 7, 2013. The map that was submitted with the 2012 report is also enclosed for <br />reference regarding prior years' mining disturbances and reclamation activities. <br />As noted in previous annual reports, all extraction activity was completed at the <br />Longmont Distel Operation in 2011, while processing, sales and reclamation activities <br />have continued since that time. Processing and sales of material will continue in 2014 <br />and into the future as mining of material from an adjacent operation under Permit No. M- <br />1994 -027 (Longmont Operation aka Tull Farm) proceeds. <br />Reclamation activity is being evaluated in light of major flooding of the St. Vrain Creek <br />in September, 2013, which significantly impacted the site. St. Vrain Creek flows west to <br />east along the entire northern boundary of the Longmont Distel Operation. During the <br />flood event, the river breached in various locations and flowed in braided channels <br />throughout the majority of the site. The flood stripped vegetation and scoured topsoil and <br />overburden from areas that had previously been fully reclaimed but unreleased. Topsoil <br />and overburden was also scoured away in other areas that had not yet been revegetated <br />and material stockpiled for reclamation has been washed away. There is significant <br />erosion and deposition across the site and as of permit year ended December 7, 2013, the <br />creek had not returned to its pre -flood channel. <br />The City of Longmont is the owner of the properties within the permit boundary, with the <br />exception of the operations area which is owned by Aggregate, and reclamation of the <br />site was developed in conjunction with the City's open space master plan for the St. <br />Aggregate Industires <br />West Central Region, Inc. <br />1687 Cole Boulevard, Suite 300 <br />Golden, CO 80401 <br />Telephone: 303 - 985 -1070 <br />An Equal Opportunity Employer <br />
