Dear Mr. Dains:
We have reviewed your letter dated November 27, 2013 requesting approval of a
substitute water supply plan ("SWSP") on behalf of Loloff Construction, Inc. ("Loloff" or
"Applicant")to cover depletions caused by an existing gravel pit operation. This site was
previously covered under the combined SWSP for Aggregate Industries("Al"); however a
separate SWSP was obtained by Loloff for the site in 2008. The required renewal fee of$257
(receipt no. 3662674) has been received.
SWSP Operations
The Loloff Pit is a gravel pit operation located in the SE%of the NW%of Section 4,
Township 5 North, Range 65 West of the 6th P.M., in Weld County. This SWSP will make
replacements to the Cache La Poudre River for depletions resulting from mining operations during
the 2014 plan year, and for lagged depletions from past operations at the Loloff Pit. Consumptive
uses at the Loloff Pit site include evaporative tosses from exposed ground water within the permit
boundaries, and operational uses. Well permit no. 77467-F has been issued for the site. The
replacement sources proposed to be utilized in this SWSP are the Loloff Section 4 Ditch and
leases with the Platte River Power Authority and the Graham Drainage Ditch Company.
In accordance with the letter dated April 30, 2010(copy attached)from the Colorado
Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety ("DRMS"), all sand and gravel mining operators
must comply with the requirements of the Colorado Reclamation Act and the Mineral Rules and
Regulations for the protection of water resources. 'The April 30, 2010 letter from DRMS requires
that you provide information to DRMS to demonstrate you can replace long term injurious
stream depletions that result from mining related exposure of ground water. Currently, Loloff Pit
is not in compliance with this requirement. However, the Applicant is currently in the process of
obtaining a technical revision to its mining permit from the DRMS (Technical Revision 01). As
part of the revision, the DRMS is requiring Loloff to comply with the requirements of its April 30,
2010 letter. At this time, Loloffs efforts to achieve compliance are ongoing; Loloff is currently
negotiating a contract to acquire Greeley Irrigation Company ("GIC") shares which will be
