(Colorado); Approximately 306 total acres; 7 miles Northwest of Walsenburg, Huerfano <br />County, Colorado. <br />bfr. Prenzlow, <br />This letter is in reference to the proposed gravel mining project that the landowner and Fremont <br />Paving and Redi-Mix, Inc. aze planning. (Location Map enclosed) I wffi be submitting the applications and <br />will be the permitting contact for both the Huerfano County Special Use and the DMR&S (112) <br />Reclamation Permit for the applicant and landowner. <br />Fremont Paving & Redi-blix and Mr. Frandscotti have an agreement which would allow for a phased <br />gravel mining and materials/asphalt processing project with the ultimate reclamation being rangeland. <br />Each mining phase is plumed to use (disturb) approximately 30 acres. The initial operation area will be on <br />the north end of the site. Fremont plans to clean-up residual aggregate and mine the remnant un-mined <br />rock in and along the former permitted and mined azeas fast before moving to "virgin" mine phase areas. <br />The future 30 acne mine phase areas will be reclaimed as mining progresses to the next phase area. <br />Reclaimed areas will be temporally isolated via electric fencing (as is done currently around reclaimed areas <br />at th'e site on the Huskin DMR&S Permit azea) until vegetation is re-established and the reclamation phase <br />azea is released by the DMR&S. <br />This will be a long term operation siaular to previous ones on the site and on (previously and <br />currently) other lands adjacent. to the site. It is possible that 5 to 6 - 30 acre phase azeas will be included in <br />the project Each 30 acre phase may take from 3 to 10 years (each) to develop depending on current and <br />furore mazket conditions. The possibility of operations at the site may exceed 60 years. Generally screening <br />and crushing, and stockpiling process operations will be located in the active mining phase area. Asphalt <br />processing and additional stockpiling will occur at a central location on the north end of the project area <br />closer to the site access point. <br />
