CERTIFIED MAIL <br /> RETURN RECEIPT NO. 7015 0640 0007 7571 8356 <br /> January 20, 2017 =^41 <br /> AGGREGATE <br /> Mr. Peter S. Hays INDUSTRIES <br /> Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br /> 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br /> Denver, CO 80203 <br /> Re: Permit No. M-1989-029—Longmont Distel Operations - 112c Annual Report <br /> Dear Peter: <br /> Enclosed is the annual report form for year ended December 7, 2016. The annual fee was <br /> submitted previously and received by the Division on November 29, 2016, as indicated <br /> by the enclosed receipt. <br /> All extraction activity was completed at the Longmont Distel Operation in 2011, while <br /> processing, sales and reclamation activities have continued since that time. These <br /> activities will continue in 2017 and into the future as mining of material from an adjacent <br /> operation under Permit No. M-1994-027 (Longmont Operation aka Tull Farm) continues. <br /> As noted in the annual report for permit year ended December 7, 2013, major flooding of <br /> the St. Vrain Creek in September 2013 significantly impacted the Longmont Distel site. <br /> During the flood event,the river breached in various locations and remains flowing <br /> through the site. It was determined that the Creek should remain in its post flood channel <br /> through the site The historic channel will remain abandoned except during high flow <br /> events when some flow may go through the historic channel. <br /> With the exception of the operations area which is owned by Aggregate Industries (Al), <br /> the City of Longmont (City) is the owner of the properties within the Longmont Distel <br /> Operation permit boundary. These properties were incorporated into the City's open <br /> space master plan for the St. Vrain River corridor, which is referred to by the City as the <br /> Sandstone Reach. The City therefore took the lead in the flood restoration project and Al <br /> has coordinated with the City and agreed upon AI's flood restoration and remaining <br /> reclamation role relative to AI's mining operation. <br /> As required by the Division, Al submitted an Amendment Application to Permit M-1989- <br /> 029 proposing to update the reclamation plan to reflect the post flood landscape of the <br /> Aggregate Industries <br /> West Central Region,Inc. <br /> 1687 Cole Boulevard,Suite 300 <br /> Golden,CO 80401 <br /> Telephone:303-985-1070 An Equal Opportunity Employer <br />
