LAFARG E <br />AGGREGATES <br />& CONCRETE <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />Mr. Jared Ebert <br />December 22, 2008 <br />2. When comparing the currently approved mining plan to the revised mining plan, you will <br />notice that in some instances, the mining cells do not appear to be any different between the <br />currently approved mining plan and the revised mining plan; however, they have different <br />acreages. In those cases, the difference is a result of a more accurate acreage calculation <br />being listed on the revised plan. <br />3. The reclamation plan was revised to correspond to the changes made on the mining plan; as a <br />result, some of the reclamation acreages changed. <br />4. Most of the reclamation uses stayed the same with the exception of Phase 8, Cell 1. Rather <br />than being called out as an Open Water Pond, it is now called out as an Augmentation <br />Recharge Pond. <br />5. All of the changes made to the plans will only result in the reshaping of the mining and <br />reclamation areas. The changes will not affect the methods to be used for slope construction, <br />topsoil replacement or revegetation of the site. <br />6. As you noticed and mentioned in your December 4, 2008 letter, the revised Reclamation Plan <br />includes designated locations for potential future trails through the property. These potential <br />trail locations came about as part of the Weld County Use by Special Review process which <br />is why they were not originally included on the DRMS Reclamation Plan. However, it is <br />important to note that they are simply potential trail locations. There is no commitment by <br />Lafarge to construct these trails as part of their reclamation plan. Lafarge understands that if <br />the County or some other jurisdiction should decide to construct these trails prior to <br />completion of the mining and reclamation of the property, another Technical Revision <br />application may need to be submitted to the DRMS to include the trails as part of the <br />Reclamation Plan. <br />Thank you for your consideration.
