The substitute water supply <br /> plan required Elam to provide a corporate surety bond to DRMS to ensure the financial resources were <br /> available for the purchase of the additional replacement water required to offset out-of-priority depletions <br /> caused by the excavation filling. <br /> Elam operated Una Pit No. 2 under the substitute water supply plan until June 5, 2016 when a water court <br /> decree was granted for the pit in Case No. 13CW3081.A copy of the decree for Una Pit No. 2 is provided <br /> in Attachment A. The well permit(Permit No. 80534)issued for Una Pit No. 2 on 1/4/2017 is provided in <br /> Attachment B. The decree granted in Case No. 13CW3081 does not require Elam to provide a corporate <br /> surety bond to DRMS for the purchase of replacement water. As a result,Elam is requesting that the <br /> financial surety for the substitute water supply plan be removed from the existing bond,thereby reducing <br /> the bond amount by$97,373.00. <br /> In addition to Una Pit No.2, mining operations conducted under Permit M-1980-080 also included <br /> extraction of sand and gravel at Una Pit. A water court decreed(Case No. 03CW75) and finding of <br /> reasonable diligence(Case No. 2010CW250)were granted for Una Pit mine operations as well as for <br /> depletions attributed to exposed groundwater remaining upon completion of mining. The decrees issued <br /> in Case Nos. 03CW75 and 2010CW250 are provided in Attachments C and D,respectively. The well <br /> permit(Permit No. 60784) issued for Una Pit on 2/27/2004 is provided in Attachment E. <br /> If you have any questions or need additional information,please contact me at(970)255-2098 or <br /> jon.mueller@—elamconstruction.com. <br /> elamconstruction.com. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Jon Mueller <br /> Environmental Compliance Coordinator <br /> Kilgore Companies LLC dba Elam Construction <br />
