LKNESTDN <br /> CONCRETE INC. <br /> July 24, 2024 <br /> Hunter Ridley <br /> Division of Reclamation, Mining & Safety <br /> Department of Natural Resources <br /> 1313 Sherman St., Room 215 <br /> Denver, Co. 80203 <br /> (303) 866-3567 <br /> Hunter.ridley@state.co.us <br /> Ms. Ridley, <br /> Re: Langston Concrete Inc. <br /> Fremont County, Colorado <br /> Amendment Request: M-1992-051 <br /> Langston Concrete Inc. would like to request an amendment and technical revision to <br /> permit# M-1992-051 located at 480 South Union Street in Florence, CO. 81226. We would like <br /> to add a wash plant to the existing operation for washing concrete sand. As well as ask for an <br /> increase in the number of max affected acreage at the site (Acreage Revision/Adjustment). <br /> I will address the first request to start with and the latter request further in the following <br /> document. <br /> The first request stems from Langston Concrete Inc.'s business operation growth, <br /> necessity & opportunity. The growth aspect is derived from the addition of a concrete batch plant <br /> at another location within the company and the need for sand to produce redi-mixed concrete. <br /> Currently, we are purchasing sand from a neighboring gravel pit and would like to produce the <br /> product ourselves as the opportunities for redi-mixed concrete operations continue to expand. C- <br /> 33 cement sand is a necessary ingredient in redi-mixed concrete and is unable to be produced <br /> without it. <br /> The opportunity to harvest C-33 cement sand out of the existing gravel pit operation <br /> continues to present itself as natural sand deposits in our region diminish. One local sand & <br /> gravel operation has already closed as it was "mined out" and others are whispering the thoughts <br /> of having to create manufactured sand to keep up with regional demand. Becoming another <br /> supplier of sand product will ease the strain on the market while additionally providing an <br /> alternative resource. While we do intend to utilize most of the sand for our own business <br /> operations, we also intend on selling it out of the gravel pit as a new product in addition to the <br /> existing product line we already offer. <br /> Our operation currently harvests aggregate commodities all the way down to 3/8". We <br /> currently consider everything below 3/4" as waste. It is hauled off the screening operation and is <br /> piled for reclamation/backfill. As a current byproduct, the addition of the wash plant will provide <br /> 902 South Union Street P.O. Box 279 Florence, Co. 81226 (719) 784-3878 Office (719) 784-1158 Fax <br />
