<br />Dear Mr. Buechner:
<br />
<br />We have received your August 16, 2017 letter requesting the renewal of a substitute water
<br />supply plan (“SWSP”) for a sand and gravel mine pursuant to §37
<br />the Parkdale Project, operated by Front Range Aggregates, LLC (“Applicant”). The most
<br />recent SWSP was approved December 8, 2016 for the period October 1, 2016 through
<br />September 30, 2017. The mine is permitted with the Division of Reclamation, Mining, and
<br />Safety under file no. M-97-054. The $257 renewal fee has been received under receipt no.
<br />3681324.
<br />
<br />PLAN OPERATION
<br />
<br />The Parkdale Project is located approximately 12 miles west of Cañon City on the north bank
<br />of the Arkansas River, as shown on the attached Fig
<br />sand and gravel production and a granite quarry operation, which will cause depletions to the
<br />Arkansas River due to evaporation and operational losses associated with mining including
<br />dewatering, dust control, and wa
<br />
<br />Mining below the ground water table will continue during the period of this plan and may
<br />begin mining the granite reserve that exists above the ground water table as well. All mining
<br />below the ground water table wi
<br />ground water table, dewatering will not be necessary. The DRMS permit reflects that mining
<br />will occur below the groundwater table, and the appropriate consumptive use percentages
<br />have been applied to the material mined below the groundwater table. Mining at the site is
<br />estimated to continue for approximately 15 years.
<br />
<br />In accordance with the letter dated April 30, 2010 from the Colorado Division of
<br />Reclamation, Mining, and Safety (“DRMS”), all san
<br />comply with the requirements of the Colorado Reclamation Act and the Mineral Rules and
<br />Regulations for the protection of water resources. The April 30, 2010 letter from DRMS

<br />We have received your August 16, 2017 letter requesting the renewal of a substitute water
<br />supply plan (“SWSP”) for a sand and gravel mine pursuant to §37-90-137(11), C.R.S., known as
<br />Parkdale Project, operated by Front Range Aggregates, LLC (“Applicant”). The most

<br />September 30, 2017. The mine is permitted with the Division of Reclamation, Mining, and
<br />054. The $257 renewal fee has been received under receipt no.
<br />The Parkdale Project is located approximately 12 miles west of Cañon City on the north bank
<br />of the Arkansas River, as shown on the attached Figure 1. The mining operation consists of
<br />sand and gravel production and a granite quarry operation, which will cause depletions to the
<br />Arkansas River due to evaporation and operational losses associated with mining including
<br />dewatering, dust control, and water retained in product hauled off site.
<br />Mining below the ground water table will continue during the period of this plan and may
<br />begin mining the granite reserve that exists above the ground water table as well. All mining
<br />below the ground water table will occur in a dewatered state. If mining occurs above the
<br />ground water table, dewatering will not be necessary. The DRMS permit reflects that mining
<br />will occur below the groundwater table, and the appropriate consumptive use percentages
<br />to the material mined below the groundwater table. Mining at the site is
<br />estimated to continue for approximately 15 years.
<br />In accordance with the letter dated April 30, 2010 from the Colorado Division of
<br />Reclamation, Mining, and Safety (“DRMS”), all sand and gravel mining operators must
<br />comply with the requirements of the Colorado Reclamation Act and the Mineral Rules and
<br />Regulations for the protection of water resources. The April 30, 2010 letter from DRMS
