CIVIL RES�URCES,LLC <br />ENGINEERS & PLANNERS <br />October 7, 2014 <br />Mr. Eric Scott, Reclamation Specialist <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br />1313 Sherman, Room 215 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />RE: Technical Revision 1 to the Burch Amendment Mining Plan Map, File no. M- 1998.013 <br />Dear Mr. Scott: <br />Bestway Concrete and aggregates is proposing to mine the area (recently added Burch area to the Shores <br />gravel mine) shown on the updated mining plan. Bestway originally intended on slurry lining the Burch site <br />but has since changed its plans as follows. Bestway anticipates stripping the north 3 acres for overburden <br />material and is not intending to mine any aggregate from this 3 acre piece. Bestway will then mine the east <br />9.4 acres and finish by mining the west 13.9 acres. Once the east area has been fully mined the west <br />portion will be mined in two 6.95 acre phases. Each phase will be dewatered and the dewatering water will <br />be recharged into the north 3 acre phase. One haul route will be built from the east phase including two <br />crossings over the Rural Ditch for conveyance of material via conveyor. The temporary Rural Ditch <br />crossing in the middle of the site will used for haul trucks. All depletions will be covered under a State <br />Engineers Office approved substitute water supply plan. <br />Concerning reclamation Bestway proposes to leave 6 -foot of overburden material onsite and use fines <br />generated from washing aggregate to backfill the exposed water surface area on the Burch Site. The <br />updated bond table is attached along with the proposed mining plan. <br />Prior to commencing on this phase, Bestway Concrete and Aggregates will notify the DRMS. <br />Enclosed please find a copy of the revised mining plan map and the application fee of $216. Thank you for <br />working with us on this application and please feel free to call me if you have any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />CIVIL RESOURCES, LLC <br />Andy RodrigueP. . <br />Project Manager <br />cc: Mark Johnson, Bestway Concrete and Aggregate Inc. <br />J \Bestway- 213 \Firestone- Shores \shores -burch amendment \DRMS Amendment Burch Property\2013 application\DRMS\Tecnlcal Revisions \letter to DRMS- TR1,doc <br />323 FIF-rH STREET • P.O.
