TECHNICAL REVISION being farmed (crops in aerial photograph). The opening of extraction activities has been deferred, possibly for another two years, and the DMG will be notified upon commencement of this Phase of the Pit 1 Permit. Locations of structures and yards are identified and measured and will be extracted from the permit area, leaving 76.3945t acres for extraction activities. Soil salvage will occur over the entire affected area, and volume will be saved adequate to resoil affected lands remaining above water to a minimum depth of six (6) inches. Warranty determinations provide for 16.5233t acres of anticipated shoreline, with approximately half of the intended 60 acre pond area, to be resoiled and revegetated before the warranty for this portion of the site would begin to float across the balance of the Amendment 2 area on an acre of area under water to acre of affected land basis beyond that point. The approximate area of the resulting pond is profiled on Map II, but the irregularity and full extent intended will be dependent upon the true nature of the deposit material and course of extraction activities. The situation can and will be adjusted in subsequent Annual Reports. NOTE: In our discussion on the matter of the Annual Reports, it was determined that the fee and reporting dates would not change, as indicated in the 1 August 1996 Technical Revision submittal, but that aerial photography gathered in September - October precedent to that report would be the foundation upon which Annual Report information was based, beginning with September - October 1997 [1998 reporting year], since the June 1996 aerial photograph is the original Benchmark. This means that the report due in June 1997 will be based upon the June 1996 aerial since no significant changes are anticipated through October. This understanding applies to the adjacent Dakolios Pit [M84-036] as well. II. Virtually all of the banks of the St. Vrain River have been affected by the floods of 1995, the effects of which the operator should be pardoned from any further reclamation activity. These effects include the intrusion of material into the Amendment 1 lakes, forming islands North of the St. Vrain River. III. The majority of the Amendment 1 lands have been graded and seeded. The resulting vegetation was disturbed or destroyed by landowner activities over the areas, and release from further responsibility is sought by the operator. The landowner runs a fishing club over the Amendment 1 lakes, driving and parking recreational vehicles over the banks, and utilizing the remaining stockpile Varra Companies, Inc. - Pit 1 - DMG Permit M-74-052 3 Addendum - TECHNICAL REVISION - 08/16/96.
