ANNUAL STATUS REPORT <br /> TO COLORADO STATE BORAD OF LAND COMMISSIONERS <br /> SAND GRAVEL LEASE: GL-264 (FIFTH AMENDMENT) <br /> LOWRY RANGE <br /> COAL CREEK (QUINCY AVE. SOUTH TO COUNTY LINE) <br /> SCHMIDT CONSTRUCTION COMPANY <br /> APPLICABLE YEAR: 2020 <br /> DUE DATE: JULY 15, 2020 <br /> In accordance with the requirements of Item I.A.5 of the Operation Plan, the following <br /> information is provided as a status report for the year preceding the due date stated above. This <br /> information updates the previous annual status report information. Any updated maps presented in this <br /> report contain not only the information for the current year, but information for prior years as well. If <br /> no new map is provided then there was no change in the information provided on the previously <br /> submitted map. Thus, as conditions change, the maps are kept up to date on an annual basis without a <br /> need to refer back to previous maps. Any maps that were not updated are so indicated in this report so <br /> the most current map can be located for reference as needed. <br /> DATES OF FINAL INSPECTION FOR PREPARATION OF THIS REPORT: July 7, 2020. <br /> SUMMARY OF THE CURRENT STATUS REPORT YEAR: The 2019-2020 lease year (July <br /> 16, 2019 - July 15, 2020) mining was over and full reclamation was initiated. A good deal of grading <br /> and backfilling occurred in the pit area prior to winter and most of the plant area was prepared for <br /> completing the reclamation there. <br /> STATUS REPORT FOR CURRENT YEAR <br /> MAPS: No status map is provided this year as the status of the footprint of the operational areas did <br /> not change. That is, no additional land was disturbed. So, for mapping purposes, last year's status map <br /> applies. <br /> GEOLOGIC CONDITIONS ENCOUNTERED: No unusual or unexpected geologic <br /> conditions were encountered in the last year because there was no mining occurring. <br /> HYDROLOGIC CONDITIONS ENCOUNTERED: Now that mining has ceased the water <br /> table and surface drainage has stabilized thoroughly so planning can proceed with respect to the <br /> configuration of the land and designing a plan for draining the pit area into a nearby natural drainage <br /> way runoff from this land originally went into. The drainage plan envisions a gentle flow from the pit <br /> area into the adjacent stream so as to minimize surge flows during heavy thunderstorms as well as <br /> minimizing sediment discharge using rock filter dams on the outlet side of shallow detention ponds a <br /> foot or so deep to collect sediment until the revegetation is able to control sediment discharge. <br /> Status report for 2020 due July 15, 2020 Page 1 of 4 <br />
