,,, ~1 Exhibit A (Comments and Recommendations from the City of Fort Lupton, Colorado) Exhibit D -Mining Plan (d) "The maximum area to be mined at one time is approximately 20 to 25 acres" The City desires and recommends that active mining be limited to no more than 25 acres at any one time so to minimize the unsightly appeazance of open mine azeas and to ensure prompt and timely reclamation and revegetation. (e) "Reclamation will likely begin two yeazs after mining is complete in each phase." The City desires and recommends that reclamation be required to begin no more than one year after mining is complete in each phase. If some other delay in beginning reclamation is approved by DMG then that deadline should be specifically stated as a condition of the permit instead of being left to the indefinite discretion of the permittee. Exhibit E -Reclamation Plan (d) RE: Revegetation The City desires and recommends that revegetation utilize native species whenever possible, and acclimated species for variety and to meet specific landscaping objectives. Species indigenous to cooler climates with greater average annual rainfall tend to be highly susceptible to disease, pests and drought causing high mortality rates and increased maintenance costs. Ponderosa pine and spruce species can be especially problematic, and should be replaced with an equal number of more suitable species. (f) (ii) re: Seeding and Mulching Mulching should be done with certified weed-free grass hay or straw in order to enhance compliance with the City's weed control ordinance. General Considerations The City requests that DMG condition approval and enforcement of any reclamation permit granted upon the applicant's successful compliance with the terms and conditions of the Annexation Agreement and any successive amendments (attached) and to the Special Use Agreement (attached) granted by the City to the applicant.
