<br />EXHIBIT K <br />CLIMATE <br />This gravel pit is located on the western side of the San Luis Valley. <br />Cold winters and moderate summers, light precipitation, and much <br />sunshine mark the climate. About 80% of the annual precipitation <br />occurs from April to October, most of it in the form of scattered light <br />showers and thunderstorms that develop over the mountains and move <br />into the valley during the afternoon. Winter snows occurs mainly in <br />frequent light falls as early as September or as late as May. A good <br />snow cover will remain on the ground for several weeks during the <br />coldest months. <br />There are no significant factors, which would affect or be affected by the <br />mining operations. <br />A copy of the year 2000 climate data as found on the NOAA website. <br />
