6/26/2017 - NARRATIVE <br />As part of Technical Revision #1, Ames Construction is required to submit <br />a narrative on the non -mining related activities that are taking place in and <br />around the current borrow permit boundary. <br />Ames Construction is utilizing the Front Range site as a central hub for <br />construction related activities for the adjacent Weld County Road 49 road <br />construction project. <br />• The "yard" is where Ames Construction employees park and store <br />employee personal vehicles, as well as heavy civil earthwork <br />equipment (loaders, dozers, haul trucks, etc.). Vehicle and <br />equipment storage is typically outside of the permit boundary, on the <br />west side of the "yard", west of the asphalt demo stockpile. <br />• Ames Construction is utilizing this "yard" for asphalt demolition and <br />crushing. For the road project, we are demolishing the old roadway <br />(asphalt), and hauling the roadway demo to the Front Range yard <br />where it is stockpiled in the "asphalt demo stockpile" area, which <br />does infringe on the mining permit boundary. From this pile, the <br />demo chunks are loaded with heavy equipment into the crushing <br />equipment, an operation that includes several stationary pieces of <br />equipment that sort/separate asphalt chunks, and crush the asphalt <br />chunks. From the crushers, it is conveyed on several conveyor belts <br />to the "crushed asphalt (RAP) stockpile", on the south end of the <br />permit boundary, <br />• Ames Construction has constructed, at the agreement of the <br />landowner, a water pond on the east side of the permit boundary, <br />which does encroach on the permit boundary. This pond is filled <br />using the landowner's water, and Ames Construction uses this pond <br />(and the gravity feed since the pond is much higher than the <br />surrounding land) to fill the water trucks that are utilized on the road <br />construction project. <br />At the finish of the roadway construction, Ames Construction has agreed <br />with the landowner and DRMS to reclaim all disturbed areas within the <br />mining permit boundary, as per the reclamation map, whether the <br />disturbance was related to mining activities or not. <br />
