<br /> Per Rule 6.4.1 (1)— The legal description must identify the affected land,specify affected areas and be adequate
<br /> to field-locate the property.Description shall be by(a)township,range,and section,to at least the nearest quarter-
<br /> quarter section;and(b)location of the main entrance to the site reported as latitude and longitude,or the Universal
<br /> Transverse Mercator (UT) Grid as determined from a USGS topographic map. A metes and bounds survey
<br /> description is acceptable in lieu of township, range, and section. Where available, the street address or lot
<br /> number(s)shall be given. This information may be available from the County Assessor's office or U.S.G.S. maps.
<br /> A metes and bounds parcel description for the established Permit Area has been compiled by a Colorado-registered
<br /> Professional Land Surveyor(signed/sealed copy retained by CSC; Exhibit A-1).
<br /> The Colorado Sand Company II, LLC's(hereafter"CSC")proposed Kersey Mine(hereafter,referred to as either
<br /> "the Mine"or"the Site")encompasses the S1/4 of Section 34, TO6N,R63W of the 6th Principal Meridian and all of
<br /> Sections 2,3, 10, 11, 14,and 15,TO5N, R63W of the 6th Principal Meridian in unincorporated Weld County,
<br /> Colorado(as defined by the "affected area"metes and bounds description provided in Exhibit A-1 and subject to
<br /> certain exclusions attributable to utility easements,etc.). For purposes of this application, CSC considers "affected
<br /> area"and"permit area"to be effectively equivalent,and such terms are or may be used interchangeably.
<br /> Per Rule 6.4.1(2)--The main entrance to the mine site shall be located based on a USGS topographic map showing
<br /> latitude and longitude or Universal Transverse Mercator(UTM). The operator will need to specify coordinates of
<br /> latitude in degrees, minutes, and seconds or in decimal degrees to an accuracy of at least five(5) decimal places
<br /> (e.g., latitude 37.12345 N; longitude 104.45678 W). For UTM, the operator will need to specify North American
<br /> Datum(NAD)1927,NAD 1983,or WGS 84,and the applicable zone,measured in meters.
<br /> This location(Exhibit A-2: Site Topography)is approximately 55 miles Northeast of the Denver,Colorado
<br /> metropolitan area;and,as depicted on the United States Geological Survey(USGS) "Kersey, Colorado"7.5°
<br /> topographic quadrangles, is approximately 4.9 miles south from the intersection of Weld County Road 67 and
<br /> Colorado Highway 392.
<br /> Mine Entrance: The Mine will be accessed by exiting Colorado Highway 392,traveling southbound on Weld
<br /> County Road 67,then traveling eastbound on County Road 68 to a privately controlled segment of Weld County
<br /> Road 64. To approach the Mine,head south on Weld County Road 64,passing through the Wells Ranch guard
<br /> shack,and continuing south for approximately 2.7 miles. The Kersey Mine ingress and egress points will be located
<br /> on the privately controlled section of Weld County Road 64(Exhibit A-3 General Site Location; Exhibit A-4:
<br /> Site Access). The approximate coordinates for the mine entrance will be 40.43952 North Latitude; 104.41867 West
<br /> Longitude,and the entrance will be equipped with a secondary security gate and appropriate signage at such time it
<br /> is so-authorized,per a to-be-finalized road-use agreement with private parties(further discussed below).
<br /> After entering the mine(i.e.,the Permit Area)the mine access road will extend southeasterly approximately 2,857-
<br /> ft.,at which point it will turn east and widen from 20-ft to 155-ft leading to the mine offices,employee/visitor
<br /> parking,and continuing to the scales/loadout area for finished product loading. (Exhibit A-5: Mine Access Route).
