• EXHIBIT C
The attached map for Exhibit C indicates, as do all maps
prepared as exhibits for this Application, the total area which
has been mined on the Headley lands. However, certain of the
areas included within that total area had been mined previously
to Headley's commencment of operations. The following summa-
rizes the history of the pre-Headley operations with attached
documentation as well as history of the Headley operation since
1976.
In 1963, Morgan County excavated material from Antelope
Draw, in the SW corner of Section 20, TSN, R55W. In the fall
of 1964, Peter Kiewit Sons Co. did exploration in the S 1/2
of Section 20 and in Section 29, TSN, R55W, finding extensive
gravel deposits particularly in Section 29. Tests were made
and the entire area was drilled every 100 feet to shale in a
checker-board fashion. However, Peter Kiewit failed to get
the bid for the project. Operations were not continued in
Section 20, but Schultz & Lindsey corporation from Fargo,
North Dakota took up the drilling operation abandoned by
Peter Kiewit and completed exploration, including open exca-
• vation in Section 29 after cahich a contract was signed as
indicated by the attached exhibit.
Schultz & Lindsey continued mining in Section 29 through
the winter of 1964 and during the year 1965, ultimately re-
leasing the contract to the State of Colorado as per the
attached exhibit. Schultz & Lindsey left large areas of stock-
piled processed waste material on the lands without any reclama-
tion. They also failed to slope the pits or clean up the area
in any way, but the State of Colorado, in their assumption of
the contract stated that they would now finish the areas
affected by the Schultz & Lindsey operations. This was not
done, as the photo from the Denver Post of 1972 attached
will show. During and after completion of the Schultz &
Lindsey and State operations, Morgan County has operated
extensively out of the pits in Section 29, as has Washington
County. Before 1976 Headley was farming the lands in the
immediate vicinity plus two other farms for a total of 660
irrigated acres as well as raising cattle. Headley, in fact,
sold gravel to those who are operating out of the pit but
did not work the gravel pits prior to 1976. Other attach-
ments to this exhibit verify the sale of gravel and indicate
