Exhibit Page 51
not damage towers, foundations, or cables.
Evaluation By establishing a 200-foot setback around the two towers which are inside the
permit area, and ensuring that no activities on the permit area are within 200 feet of
the towers not in the permit area, assuming a maximum of 30 feet in working face
height, assuming an angle of repose of 37 degrees (that of loose sand and gravel},
and using backfill to create slopes not greater than 3H:1 V around the 200-foot radii
of the towers, there will be no potential for impact on the power lines. Since mining
' will use bucket (front-end) loaders, dozers, and other similar equipment, the only
other prohibition necessary to prevent potential conflicts with use will be to prohibit
erection of any processing plants or stockpiles within 100 feet of the centerline of the
' powerlines.
Structure Descriptionlnotes Owner
Barbed-wire Various 3- and 4-strand barbed wire fences are located on LMN Properties
' fencing the property, including the perimeter. (Landowner}
Evaluation The lease for both Four States Aggregates and Montezuma County requires that the
fences be maintained and if necessary replaced if no longer serviceable due to
mining operations. In addition, both Four States Aggregates and Montezuma
County have a direct interest in maintaining fence serviceability to prevent cattle
from overgrazing areas being reclaimed. Based on soil conditions, no impact is
expected on fences, as based on past mining near fencing. Therefore, there
' appears to be no need for detailed analysis or for an additional compensation
agreement beyond the leases.
NOTE: Although the fence line just south of the permit boundary is identified by the
' surveyor as being on the property of Lloyd Wallace, Mr. Wallace and Laveena
Saunders (LMN Properties) agree that the proper boundary is the fence line and that
the fence is the property and responsibility of LMN Properties.

Roads Existing roads include roads improved and to be LMN Properties
maintained to county standards (as provided in the lease (Landwoner)
' agreements), and older roads and trails (pre-mining) to be
replaced by county-standard roads as directed by the
landowner as part of reclamation work.
' Evaluation
Structure Description/notes Owner
Cabin & A small hunting/recreational cabin is located inside the LMN Properties
'
outbuildings permit boundary but more than 200 feet from any land (Landowner)
proposed to be affected by mining operations.
Evaluation By keeping all mining activity more than 200 feet from these properties, and meeting
' requirements for storm water management, no impact on these properties is
anticipated. The cabin is not apermanently-occupied dwelling, but is occupied
seasonally for hunting and other recreational use.
Soils: Refer to Exhibit I.
This evaluation was prepared based on information obtained from the owners, from various agencies,
including USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, US Forest Service, and Dolores Soil
Conservation District, and during site inspections and investigations conducted in between September
2000 and May 2002.
