SENT BY: MARTIN AND MEHAFFY,LLC; 3034440398; SEP-28-G2 15:08; PAGE 4/8 CITY OF ~RfGHTQN ~ t?2 SOUTH 4TH AVENUE 1 9RIG1tTDN, COLORADO 60601 ~ 1903) 858.4050 September 10, 2002 Mr. Bruce Humphries, Mistrals Program Snpetvisor Colorado Division of Minerals and Qeology 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 Denver, CO 80203 ItE: 124°i Estates Saed sad Gravel Mine (M-2001-085) Dear Mr.1~[uwphriea: Ttre Ciry of. Brighton has recently purchased a 35-ears parcel, legally described as Roadgate Farms No i, Lot 1, near Hendorson In Adams County, Colorado. This parcel has received approval as a sand and gravel rmne to be reclaimed for water storage under DMG 112 Reclamation Permit No. M-2001-OSS. The Seller bas executed as agreement with the City to remove the mineral resources firm this historic mine, to provide a clay liner in accordance to DMG's requirements and to deliver the reoLrimed parcel to t]ie City for water slnrage, During the DMO and Adams County permitting processes, the Seiler has apparently sought approval of different access routes to the mine site from both pemuttlug authorities. Now tha Belles and the City are anxious for mining activity fA begin but understaAd that the mining operator does not have as access route to the site that has been approved by both the DMG and Adams Cotmry. An September 6, 2002, the Seller was inforared by telephone by your office that approval of as alternate access route to the 124s` Hstates Site fivm 120m Avenue could occur only byway of a permit amendment, oRart a three to fottr month process. t3uforittnately for the City, the Seller wan less than prudent with their timing for the alternative access routes regaest, although this in no way excuses their error,. it would certainly create sn unexpected dolay for Brighton. The City is counting on delivery in 2003 of the water storage capacity that this mining site represents; we are exploring ways to shartxn this permit modification process.
