identified as Mine Area 1 will be relocated to the Northeast corner of same area. The feeder <br />pipelines will then be relocated to run at diagonals from those wells to the newly placed tank <br />battery and collection facility. The pipeline currently running up the southern portion of the north- <br />south centerline of Section 28 will be relocated to run along the south edge of the property, then <br />turn north at the natural rise in topography and run to the newly located oil and gas facility. These <br />relocations will enable Owens Brothers to extract more material from the site than originally <br />planned. As such, Owens Brothers proposes the following change to the Mine and Reclamation <br />Plan: <br />Instead of mining commencing in the Southeast corner of the property, mining will begin in the <br />western end of the area originally defined as Mine Area 3. Mining will then move into the area-~ - <br />currently known as Mine Area 4. Once the western portions of the site are mined, extraction will <br />begin in current Mine Area 2, and then proceed east into Mine Area 1 and then north into Mine <br />Area 5. Essentially, Mine Area 3 becomes new Mine Area 1, Mine Area 4 becomes new Mine <br />Area 2, Mine Area 2 becomes new Mine Area 3, and Mine Area 1 becomes new Mine Area 4. <br />Mine Area 5 will remain the fifth area to be mined. I have enclosed a revised mine plan map <br />depicting these proposed changes. Copies of the Oil and Gas agreements will be forwarded <br />once finalized. <br />The Reclamation aspect of the plan will have one change. The landbridge that is separating <br />original Mine Areas 1 and 2 will be mined out and not replaced. This will effectively create one <br />larger body of water rather than the two smaller bodies depicted on the original maps. A revised <br />reclamation map is enclosed for your reference. <br />If you have any questions or concerns about these proposed changes, please call me at (303) <br />274-4277. <br />Sincerely, <br />/J{ U <br />Tug artin <br />Planner <br />Cc: Bill Owens, Owens Brothers Concrete <br />Chris Gathman, Weld County Planning Department <br />20075 -Agency Correspondence <br />
