I. Upon the success and viability of the mitigation as determined by the Corps of Engineers, a Long-term Mitigafion Success Report will be submitted to the Denver Regulatory Office every five years starting in 2010 and continuing until the. end of the mining project to ensure the long-term management and protection of the permanent mitigation. The reports will be submitted to the Denver Regulatory Office before December 31 of the yeazs 2010, 2015; 2020, and 2025. These reports will include but not be limited to: I.1. permit number and county where the project is located; I.2. a brief discussion of the mining activities schedule L3. a discussion of successes, failures, or problems at the mitigation sites; I.4. photographs of mitigation area (to be taken from the same location and submitted with each report). L5. If the site conditions indicate that the mitigated wetlands aze failing, perhaps due to inadequate hydrology or hydrology affected by the mining, a remedial action plan will be required to supply adequate hydrology. 1.6. The last report in 2025 should confirm that willows have been planted at that time, which is required to take place during the reclamation of ce114 (as mentioned in special condition F). J. The Colorado Department of Health issued Section 401 Water Quality Certification Number 3074 on September 8, 2003, in accordance with Section 401 of the Ciean Water Act. The permittee agrees to comply with Certification Number 3074, the requirements from which aze attached to, and made a part of, this permit. The water quality certification is shown on Attachment 5. The following special conditions are related to the responsibilities of the landowner regarding preservation of the long-term preservation of mitigation wetlands and other casting wetlands on the property. P. The pemuttee (Landowner) is responsible for the long-term preservation of the created wetlands on the property for years beyond the mining activities. The attached deed restriction (Attachment 4), which describes and ensures protection of the wetlands on the property, will be agreed to and implemented upon issuance of this permit. Q. Cattle grazing will cease in all wetland mitigation azeas after the mining of ce114. This includes all newly created wetlands, preserved wetlands, and willow plantings along the Big Thompson River. R Based on information provided by the applicant, the Corps has determined the basic project purpose to be aggregate mining. This project purpose was the basis upon which the Corps conducted its review of the application, as well as a basis for the Corps' determination that permit issuance is in the best interest of the public. Accordingly, the Corps authorizes no change in project purpose, or in the nature of the permitted activity, without prior review and approval. One specific example would be conversion of the aggregate mine pits to storage of municipal and{or industrial water. After a detailed and careful review of all of the conditions contained in this permit, the permittees acknowledge that, although said conditions were required by the Corps of Engineers, nonetheless the permittees agreed to those conditions voluntarily to facilitate issuance of the permit; the permittees will comply fully with all the terms of all the permit conditions. 11, Determinations. The Corps has reviewed and evaluated this project in light of the relevant public interest factors and the stated views of other interested agencies and the concerned public. In doing so, the Corps has considered the possible Project: Grecn $ Croissant Aggegate Mining Applicant: Loveland Ready Mix, Inc.
