Subject: Request for Full/Final Release of Entire Permit Area (24.7 acres),
Kiewit Fountain Colony Pit Site (M-1987-171),Fountain, CO 80817
Dear Ms. Ridley,
Kiewit Infrastructure Co. (Kiewit) is submitting the enclosed Request for Full or Partial Release of Permit
Area/Surety Reduction form and corresponding attachments in support of a request to release the remaining
reclaimed land comprising mining and reclamation area Phase V, which totals 24.7 acres. Upon approval this
request would constitute a full release from the current Reclamation Plan and Permit (Permit#M-1987-171) for
the Fountain Colony Pit located in El Paso County,Colorado.
In support of this full/final release request,the following figure and exhibits delineate the release area:
• Figure 1 -Permit and Affected Land Area Proposed for Release
• Exhibit C- Current Mining Plan Map
• Exhibit F- Current Reclamation Plan Map
Note that an updated permit and affected land area boundary is not shown on Figure 1 since once the release is
approved, there would be no land remaining under Kiewit's permit.
In January of 2023, Kiewit requested the release of 289.2 acres, which comprised the entirety of mining and
reclamation areas Phase 1, Phase Il, Phase III, and Phase IV, which were acquired by Copart as part of an
industrial/commercial development project (Figure 1). The Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and
Safety (DRMS) approved the release on April 27, 2023, noting that the only parcel remaining in the permit is
Phase V,which encompasses the 24.7 acres to be released. For background, please refer to the existing Mining
Plan and Reclamation Plan Maps included as Exhibit C and Exhibit F.
In support of the requested final release, the DRMS performed an inspection of the Fountain Colony Pit on July
17,2024,to review revegetation efforts initiated in 2023 on a 0.5-acre portion of Phase V. The Minerals Program
Inspection Report noted that reclamation across the 24.7 acres appeared adequate for release.
