Dear Mr. Dains:
We have received your letter dated December 31, 2015, requesting renewal of the above
referenced substitute water supply plan to cover depletions caused by gravel mining operations at
the Three Bells Pit, operated by Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. ("MMM" or "Applicant"). The
required fee of $257 has been submitted (receipt no. 3672836). General information regarding the
Three Bells Pit is provided in Table A below. A map showing the location of the Three Bells Pit is
attached as Figure 1.

The Shields Mine (M-2006-064, WDID 0303027) was previously included in this combined plan
but was acquired by the City of Fort Collins in 2014 and will be covered under an individual SWSP
(WDID 0302700).
The Port of Entry Pit (M-1982-182, WDID 0303026) was removed from the combined plan as of
January 1, 2012 and is currently covered under an individual SWSP (WDID 0302533) that previously
relied on replacement credits generated through this SWSP. As of this year, the Port of Entry SWSP
will rely on replacement sources owned or controlled by the City of Fort Collins and will no longer be
debited against this combined plan.
On January 24, 2014 the compacted clay liner for the Kyger Pit (M-1999-088, WDID 0303025)
was approved by the State Engineer's Office as meeting the design standard for liners, and the Kyger
Pit is now classified as a lined reservoir in accordance with the 1999 SEO Guidelines. All lagged
