(AFS), the Operator/Applicant, is proposing the Walstrum Spur Amendment (Spur <br />Amendment) to continue the existing Walstrum Quarry (Existing Quarry) that has supplied aggregate construction <br />materials for industrial, commercial, and residential uses since 1983. AFS is seeking to obtain an amendment to <br />DRMS Permit M-1983-033 and the necessary land use approvals from Clear Creek County. <br />This mining plan encourages the orderly development of the state's natural resources while reclaiming the land so <br />that the affected land may be put to a beneficial use. The plan set forth fosters and encourages the development <br />of an economically sound and stable mining and construction materials industry. <br />The following terms are used to describe distinct major areas within the mine permit boundary: <br />• Existing Quarry — All areas currently permitted under DRMS Permit No. M-1983-033, including Parcels <br />A2, 61, C1, C2, C3, D, and E totaling 285.7 acres. <br />• Spur Amendment — Areas proposed to be permitted, including Parcels A1, 62, F, G, H1, H2, I, J, K, and L <br />totaling 463.6 acres. <br />The Existing Quarry and Spur Amendment are located within unincorporated Clear Creek County, Colorado. The <br />site is 4 miles east of Idaho Springs, just east of the junction of Highway 6 and Interstate 70, on the north side of <br />Highway 6. It sits predominantly within Sections 34, 35, and 36, Township 3S, Range 72W, 6th P.M. (and portions <br />of Sections 2 and 3, Township 4S, Range 72W of the 6th P.M.). The geographic coordinates for the main entrance <br />area are 39.745988° North, 105.434214° West. The geographic coordinates for the secondary entrance are <br />39.742481 ° North, 105.430006° West. <br />The Existing Quarry is mined by AFS on land owned by the Albert and Mary Jane Frei Irrevocable Trust (Trust) <br />and the AR & MJ Frei Limited Partnership (Partnership). The mining activities within the Existing Quarry are <br />conducted in accordance with affidavits from the Trust and the Partnership granting mining rights to AFS. The <br />proposed Spur Amendment is on land owned by the Trust. Affidavits granting rights to AFS for mining activities <br />are presented in Exhibit N. <br />� TETRA TECH P a g e 1 � 9 <br />
