INTRODUCTION <br /> The purpose of this Regular(112)Reclamation Permit Amendment Application is <br /> to combine DRMS Permit M-2007-008 (Holton Lakes)with DRMS Permit M-2008-083 <br /> (Morton Lakes). Both permits are held by Ready Mixed Concrete Company(RMCC). In <br /> order to combine the above two permits RMCC is applying to amend their Morton Lakes <br /> permit(M-2008-082)by adding the Holton Lakes to M-2008-082. Once the DRMS has <br /> approved the addition of Holton Lakes to M-2008-082, RMCC will apply to the DRMS <br /> for release of the original Holton Lakes Permit(M-2007-008) and reclamation bond. <br /> The amended permit will not result any increase in permitted acreage beyond the <br /> combination of the two permit areas. <br /> The Morton Lakes property located in part of the southeast 1/4 of Section 1 and the <br /> northeast %4 of Section 12, in Township 1 North, Range 67 West of the Sixth P.M.

The pit lies within the 100-year floodplain of the South Platte River, which cross <br /> the subject property, flowing from south to north. <br /> The combined Morton-Holton Lakes sand and gravel pit will be mined in seven <br /> stages totaling approximately 312 acres. Prior to mining Stages 4, 5, 6 and 7, soil- <br /> bentonite slurry walls will be constructed around the perimeter of each of these Stages. <br /> All mining stages will be dewatered and then mined dry with backhoes and front-end <br /> loaders. Excavated sand and gravel will be conveyed from the active stage of mining to <br />
