A utilities marker survey is scheduled to be completed in September 2019. If any additional utilities or <br /> structures are identified with the affected lands boundary or within 200 feet of the affected lands <br /> boundary, Black Mountain will provide updated information to the Colorado Division of Reclamation, <br /> Mining, and Safety(CDRMS), as well as attempt to obtain notarized structure agreements or notarized <br /> letters of no negative effect as required by section 6.4.19 of the Construction Materials rules and <br /> provide copies of those letters to CDRMS. <br /> There are several permanent man-made structures outside Black Mountain's permit boundary, including <br /> Weld County Road (WCR)91; Morgan County Quality Water District's water storage tanks,which are <br /> located in the S%2 of Section 10; Interstate 76/Hwy 6;and approximately 4 additional communication <br /> towers. All of these structures are located more than 200 feet from any Lost Creek Mine affected lands <br /> boundary.There are currently no other known buildings or structures within or adjacent to the affected <br /> lands area.These structures are marked on Exhibit C2: Pre-Mining Map and Exhibit C6.1—Exhibit C6.2: <br /> Mine Plan Map as appropriate. <br /> Black Mountain will construct mining facilities,to include a sand wash processing plant, a process water <br /> storage tank and ponds,wet sand storage building, six 3,000-ton storage silos for final product storage, a <br /> waste material storage stockpile,truck loadout area, maintenance/warehouse building, office building& <br /> parking lot, check-in booths, and truck hatch opening and closing stations.These production facilities <br /> will be located on approximately 45 acres and will be more than 200 feet from pit mining operations. <br /> Utilities will be brought into the affected lands to supply water,electricity, and gas to the facilities and <br /> will be located such that mining activities will have no negative effect on their utility. <br /> The affected land's current land use is rangeland and there are several existing watering troughs and <br /> small water storage tanks to feed and water the cows.These structures are portable, although large, <br /> and therefore do not meet the requirements of a significant,valuable, and permanent man-made <br /> structure.These items are owned by the current landowner, Black Mountain Land Company, LP, and will <br /> be removed prior to mining operations. It has not been determined if these items will be reinstalled <br /> after mining operations cease. <br /> All of the Lost Creek Mine project area is on private land.There are a few 2-track dirt roads that have <br /> been used by the landowner, Black Mountain Land Company, LP,to access the area.These dirt roads do <br /> not meet the definition of significant,valuable,and permanent man-made structures as they are not <br /> maintained or public roads.These dirt roads will be removed during mining operations and may be <br /> replaced during reclamation activities at the discretion of Black Mountain. <br /> 2 <br />
