RE: Carbon Valley Resource - Acceptance of Reclamation As is
Dear Mr. Krieger:
This letter serves as official notice that the required reclamation as defined in Section 8.4 of the
Purchase, Sale and Exchange Agreement (PSE Agreement) between the Town of Firestone
(Firestone) and L.G. Everist, Inc. (LGE) has been completed on the "Carbon Valley Parcel" of the
Carbon Valley Resource. This letter is also a request from LGE to Firestone that Firestone accepts and
acknowledges the reclamation of the acres to be released "as is".
The "Carbon Valley Parcel", is described and depicted in Exhibit A-2 of the PSE Agreement (attached
for reference) and comprises the east side of the Carbon Valley Resource, permitted under the Division
of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety's (DRMS) Permit M-2001-017. To further describe the "Carbon
Valley Parcel," it is comprised of the Areas A and B in the east side of Carbon Valley Resource, which
is depicted in the modified Exhibit F: Reclamation Plan Map (Revised 7-2018). Exhibit F has been
modified to better show the areas which we are requesting to be released. (See the attached modified
Exhibit F - Release Request Sep -2018)
Details on the Reclamation, Areas to be Released, Areas to Remain in the DRMS permit
LGE's reclamation of the "Carbon Valley Parcel" (aka Areas A and B) includes the completion of the
following: construction, testing and approval of the compacted clay wall liner; backfilling; sloping;
grading and seeding of the site. Access roads have been graded and graveled to allow for future
development and reservoir operations by Firestone.
The reservoir liner in Area B of the "Carbon Valley Parcel" has been approved and certified by the
Colorado Office of the State Engineer (SEO) and meets the SEO's strict design standard. (See
attached copy of the SEO's Clay Liner Approval letter, dated 09118198.)
LGE has completed all the reclamation obligations on the "Carbon Valley Parcel" of the Carbon Valley
Resource as set forth in the Carbon Valley Resource DRMS Permit, including the initial seeding of all
areas requiring vegetation. The "Carbon Valley Parcel" has received two rounds of initial seeding to
comply with DRMS vegetation requirements. Reclamation seeding and fertilizing was done in April -
2018 and again in late August -2018. LGE has been actively controlling weeds with weed -spraying and
mowing over the years. In 2018, weeds were sprayed in May -2018, and the reclaimed areas were
mowed in June -2018 and in early August -2018.
