`Applegate <br />Group, t~~. <br />March 13, 2002 <br />Mr. Carl Mount <br />C~~p~( <br />Division of Minerals and Geology <br />1313 Sherman Street Room 215 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />RE: Warranty Release Request; Western Mobile Northern, Inc.; Greeley West Pit; M-1977-081 <br />Dear Mr. Mount: <br />The following information is being submitted on behalf of Western Mobile Northern, Inc. (WMI), <br />as evidence of the reclamation efforts on a portion of the Greeley West Pit, M-77-081. This mining <br />operation is located in Weld County, Section 36, Township 6 North, Range 66 West of the 6'" P.M. <br />WMI is requesting release from future reclamation responsibility on a portion of the site. <br />The City of Greeley (Greeley) has purchased the Northwest '/4 of the site and wishes to use it for a <br />water storage reservoir. As this use is different from the approved final end use of the existing <br />permit, WMI wishes to allow Greeley to properly permit the site Greeley now owns. Concurrent <br />with this request for release, Greeley has submitted an application for a Regular (112) Operation <br />Reclamation Permit (M-2002-020). WMI waives their right to a decision on this release request <br />within the time frame specified in Subsection 4.16.2(2) and 4.16.2(4) of the Construction Materials <br />Rules and Regulations, and requests that this release become effective when the new permit is <br />issued to Greeley. <br />The final reclamation plan for this site was water surface and grasslands. <br />Rule 3 General Provisions <br />The final topography of the site is appropriate for the permitted final use. <br />• Grading of all slopes was done as mining progressed. <br />• All slopes were graded to minimize the potential for erosion. <br />• No highwalls were created during the mining of the site. <br />• No refuse, acid-forming, or toxic producing materials were mined or produced on the site. <br />• No drill or auger holes were part of the mining. Core samples were taken to determine <br />suitability of the resource for mining. No adits or shafts were constructed. <br />• Maximum slopes and slope combinations are no greater than 3:1. <br />All grading was done as mining progressed. Final grading was completed approximately 1986 after <br />mining was completed. <br />1499 West 120'" Avenue, Suite 200 5441 Boeing Drive, Suite 200 <br />Denver, Coloratlo 80234-2728 Nww.apple9ategroup.com Loveland, Coloratlo 80538-8855 <br />(303) 452-6611 • Fax (303) 452-2759 (970) 461-9884 • Fax (970) 613-1177 <br />
