Albert Frei and Sons, Inc. Frei Pit #3 (aka Bromley Pit) - M-f 979-165 Technical Revision # 3 As currently approved the final planned reclaimed use is unclear. Some reference was made to commercial/industrial uses with some revegetation depending on how fast filling were com- pleted. The 1974 Adams County approved a Planned Unit Develop- ment that was consistent with the Mined Land Reclamation Board permit. It stated that industrial/commercial uses were planned and once the final site layout was know an amendment would be filed. In 1997 and 2005, Albert Frei and Sons, Inc. Filed an amendments that spelled out the final used expected on the site. A copy of the 2005 approval and PUD documents are attached. As currently approved in Adams County the PUD is for filling the entire property with inert material and then developing it for industrial/commercial uses; including raw material storage and sales, concrete and asphalt batching, and an office complex. Copies of the most recent county permit and supporting maps are attached for your review. The site is in compliance with the County approval. We have material storage located on the central part of the property, an asphalt plant on the southern end and a concrete plant in the northeast part of the site. RECLAMATION PLAN CNANGES: To correct the uncertainty in the original permit, the planned reclaimed use is stated to be INDUSTRIAL/COMMERCIAL. Th1S makes it consistent with the County Zoning. The original recla- mation plan implies that the area would have been left nearly level, it would have been graded and if not developed immediately the area would have been revegetated. We believe this revegetation, as used in the original plan, was to protect the site between the completion of backfilling and the start of development. This revegetation is not needed now since develop- ment is nearly complete. We are removing the revegetation element from the approved reclamation plan since development has already taken place. Since mining and backfilling is complete on the site, reclamation is essentially done. Minor grading is being com- pleted on the area west of the railroad tracks and then the reclamation will be complete. The site is currently being developed as noted above and we concur with your note in the inspection report, that full revegetation is not appropriate for this site since its long term use will be as a commer- cial/industrial/stockpiling area. The revised Map Exhibit F - Reclamation Plan Map shows the post mining topography of the site.
