EXHIBIT K-CLIMATE INFORMATION <br /> The information provided in this Exhibit is intended to satisfy the requirements outlined in Section <br /> 6.4.11 of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board Construction Material Rules and <br /> Regulations: <br /> Provide a description of the significant climatological factors for the locality. <br /> This property is in a semi-arid continental climate strongly influenced by the Rocky Mountains. The <br /> area is usually warm in the summer with frequent hot days. In winter, periods of very cold weather <br /> are caused by arctic air moving in from the north or northwest. Milder periods occur when westerly <br /> winds are warmed as they move down slope off of the mountains to the east. <br /> Weather monitoring data is not available from the site. The nearest weather monitoring station is <br /> at Longmont, Colorado. Data is collected from the Western Regional Climate Center. The table <br /> below lists the mean monthly temperature, and average total precipitation on a monthly and annual <br /> basis for the period of record from approximately 19950 to 2000. Most of the precipitation occurs <br /> as rainfall during the warmer part of the year with the heaviest rainfalls in the late spring and early <br /> summer. Winter snowfall is frequent but the snow cover usually melts quickly during the milder <br /> periods. <br /> Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Annual <br /> Mean Monthly 27.2 29.5 35.8 47.1 54.6 64.5 72.5 71.4 61.0 50.8 36.2 30.0 <br /> Temperature(F) <br /> Average Total 0.43 0.36 1.10 1.60 2.51 1.68 1.11 1.24 1.24 0.85 0.68 0.47 13.27 <br /> Precipitation (in.) <br /> Bestway Concrete&Aggregates—Conveyor Amendment-Bernhardt Mine—MLRB 112 Permit Application <br /> Exhibit K-1 <br />
