04004 Banks and Gesso, LLC Introduction L.G. Everist, Inc., is presenting this application to the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board (MLRB) to amend Construction Materials Regular 112 Permit #M-1999-120. The purpose of the amendment is to expand the permitted area of the existing Fort Lupton Sand and Gravel Mine. This amendment seeks to add nine parcels to the permit boundary, which will increase the permit area by approximately 212 acres. Of that acreage, approximately 165 acres will be mined. The properties to be added are shown on Exhibit C-1. The additional properties will be mined in five phases, and reclaimed to five lined water reservoirs. Mining of the additional properties will add approximately 27-37 years to the life of the mine at a rate of 500,000 tons per year. This rate is subject to fluctuations, however, depending on market conditions. Surrounding land uses are primarily agricultural in nature. However, there are five other DMG-permitted sand and gravel mines within 2 miles of the amendment area. The properties to be added are currently owned by: Gary L. and Gloria A. Swingle; Randall Panowicz; Kevin E. & Rebecca L. Parker; Gomer and Julane M. Hill Living Trusts; (2 parcels) Judy Oakley; Steven Eber and Suzan Folletz; and IL/RM Golden Properties (2 parcels). Each property owner has signed an agreement with L.G. Everist, Inc. to allow their properties to be permitted for mining purposes. These agreements are included in Exhibit N of this application package. The applicant is proposing to bond the amended property in phases, and to leave open the option to line each phase with either a slurry wall or a clay liner until just prior to bonding that particular phase. The applicant will submit Technical Revisions prior to entering each phase for this purpose. Fort Lupton Sand and Gravel Mine - L.G. Everist, Inc.
