ANNUAL REPORT OF GCC RIO GRANDE TO COLORADO DIVISION OF
MINERALS AND GEOLOGY
August 29, 2006
Pursuant to C.R.S. 34-32-116, as operator and permittee holder of a Colorado Mine Land
Reclamation permit, GCC Rio Grande submits the following Annual Report to the Colorado
Division of Minerals and Geology for Permit M-2004-004.
A. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
While plant constmction is underway, mining has not yet commenced at GCC Rio
Grande's Pueblo portland cement manufacturing facility and limestone mine.
B. SPECIFIC FACILITY -RELATED ACTIVITIES
Since receiving County and the State of Colorado permits, GCC Rio Grande has been
actively engaged in a continuous program of coordinating and pursuing all state and federal
permitting and constmction activities necessary for the facility. These activities have involved
the expenditure and commitment of substantial financial resources towards completion of the
project.
Federal, State, or local permit applications, approvals, amendments:
a. Air Oualitv Construction Permit: GCC Rio Grande received a Prevention
of Significant Deterioration ("PSD") permit from the Colorado Air Pollution Control Division of
the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. A copy has been provided to the
Division. GCC Rio Grande sought this permit early in the process understanding that several
other planning and permit processes would be influenced by applicable air quality requirements.
The PSD Permit enables GCC Rio Grande to adequately plan for and seek the other related
approvals for mining, reclamation, water supply and access. GCC Rio Grande has "commenced
construction" pursuant to the PSD permit and the County Special Use Permit.
b. Storm Water Discharge Permit: GCC Rio Grande applied for a renewal of
its Storm Water Discharge Permit on March 28, 2002. Pending processing of its application,
GCC Rio Grande has maintained this approval through payment of an annual fee to the Colorado
Department of Public Health and Environment. This current year's annual payment for this
permit will be made after GCC is invoiced.
GCC Rio Grande also obtained a permit to discharge storm water runoff from two
outfalls that are associated with the property during operation of the Portland cement
manufacturing facility. Part LB. of the permit requires monitoring of storm water discharges
from these two outfalls for several parameters including pH, Total Suspended Solids, Oil and
Grease, and Discharge Flowrate. Part LB. also requires that the analytical results of this
monitoring be submitted to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment within
30 days of the end of each calendar quarter. All monitoring reports have been submitted to the
CDPHE.
