Loveland Ready Mix Concrete, Inc. <br />Permit No. M-1974-069 <br />Page 4 of 5 <br />It should be further noted that Reclamation Plans may be subject to a variety of <br />contingencies, and Rule 6.4.5(2), among other Construction Materials Rules, <br />accommodates the satisfactory explanation of such contingencies as part of the <br />implementation plan for reclamation. In the case of the Larimer Pit, reclamation plans in <br />their fullest realization aze contingent on the permittee/land owner's choice to abandon (or <br />not abandon) the pre-existing batch plant and office area prior to final reclamation activities <br />and release from bonding. <br />To clarify past submittals, to the extent that the batch plant and office area aze identified as <br />included within the reclamation plan, this provides a contingency should the operator elect <br />to abandon the batch plant and office when mining and/or reclamation are completed. The <br />operator will bond for this contingency as a maximum disturbance scenario, and in this <br />scenario it is realistic to identify the post-mining land use as the same as other contiguous <br />azeas of the site. However, this maximum disturbance scenario for reclamation bonding <br />purposes should not preclude the land owner's ability to rely on its property rights to <br />accomplish the less costly option of continuing the beneficial use of the site for batch plant <br />and office operations. In either contingency, the batch plant and office area at the time of <br />final release will be in a condition that is suitable for beneficial, economically viable use <br />despite the cessation of mining and reclamation activity. <br />The contingencies for reclamation under the M-1974-069, including continuing operation <br />of the batch plant and office area, aze completely consistent with the objectives and <br />requirements of the Construction Materials Act. <br />6.4.7 EXHIBIT G -Water Information <br />7.0 Bishop &Brogden Associates have provided expected drawdown curves for Cells 8 and 10. <br />This information is attached. <br />8.0 The 18 inch slide gate and transfer pipe will be installed in 2007 using an open cut and <br />compaction method.
