1 <br />Banks and Gesso, LLC <br />' S.2 Adjacent Properties and Uses <br /> Immediately to the north of the subject property are parcels that include <br />' agricultural use. To the immediate east is the South Platte River and a <br /> combination of active and reclaimed sand and gravel mines. To the south is the <br />' alignment of E-470.

Attachment "B" is a copy of the "Atlas of Sand, Gravel, and <br />' Quarry Aggregate Resources Colorado Front Range Counties, Special <br /> Publication 5-8"prepared by the Colorado Geological survey with the Brighton <br />' Quadrangle showing the subject property. The subject is designated in the <br /> classification of F-4 which is a floodplain deposit and a "probable aggregate <br />' resource". CAMAS Colorado, Inc. has conducted a drilling and testing program <br /> on the subject and find it to contain a commercial quality sand and gravel <br />' deposit. This drilling and testing confirmed the CGS findings. This amount of <br /> reserves will extend the life of the Brighton Mine by approximately 7 years. <br />1 <br /> 5.4 Mine Plan <br />' The subject properties will be mined to blend with the existing pit to the north. <br /> Adequate setbacks from the South Platte River have been incorporated into the <br />' plan. The mine will be dry mined with excess water being pumped out of the <br /> excavation. The pit run material will be placed on a conveyor and/or haul truck <br />' and will be transported to the existing plant for processing. A portion of the <br /> deposit, that lying in the most westerly portion of the land, is suitable for <br />' construction fill purposes. This material will be mined and sold as construction fill <br /> for the building of E-470. If the fill is not utilized for E-470, the western limit of <br />' mining will be further to the east. <br /> <br />Brighton Mine Conditional Use Permit rJ 20007WD <br />' CAMAS Colorado, INC.
