( "Oldcastle" or "Applicant ") in accordance with § 37 -90- 137(11), <br />C.R.S. The Applicant shall be responsible for compliance with this SWSP, but the State <br />Engineer's Office may also pursue the landowner, for eventual compliance. The mine is <br />permitted with the Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety under File No. M -77 -098. The <br />$257 fee has been accepted with receipt no. 3660068. <br />Plan Operations <br />The Sievers Pit is located in Section 18, Township 7 South, Range 88 West of the 6th <br />P.M. and it currently operates pursuant to an augmentation plan that was decreed on July 25, <br />1984 in Case No. 83CW65. Oldcastle recently acquired the mine site from Lafarge West Inc. <br />( "Lafarge ") and proposes to continue mining under the DRMS Permit no. M77 -098. Also <br />Oldcastle proposes to expand mining and water uses beyond the decreed amounts outlined in <br />Case No. 83CW65. This SWSP will replace depletions incurred by the expansion only. This <br />SWSP will work in conjunction with the above referenced augmentation plan to replace <br />depletions from exposed groundwater, dewatering, and operational uses. The expansion of the <br />mining at Sievers Pit began in July 2009. Over the next year the exposed groundwater will be <br />within the dewatering trench and ponds. <br />In accordance with the letter dated April 30, 2010 (copy attached) from the <br />Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety ( "DRMS "), all sand and gravel <br />mining operators must comply with the requirements of the Colorado Reclamation Act <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 821, Denver, CO 80203 P 303.866.3581 F 303.866.2223 www.water.state.co.us <br />
