Introduction <br />The Ready Mixed Concrete Company (Ready Mixed) is submitting the following <br />document in order to apply for Amendment No. 2 (AM-002) to Division of Reclamation, <br />Mining & Safety (DRMS) Permit M-1987-049, which grants approval for mining <br />operations at the "Bromley Lakes Pit" in Adams County, Colorado. The proposed <br />following amendment accomplishes three major changes to the existing permit. One <br />proposed change is to incorporate Ready Mixed Pit No. 1 (M-1985-017) into this permit, <br />thereby establishing the concurrent elimination of that permit (36.1 acres). The second <br />proposed change is to modify the proposed end land use of a portion of the existing <br />permitted area from open lakes and wildlife habitat (WL) to sealed water storage (WR) at <br />the request of the present landowner, The City of Brighton. Ready Mixed Pit No. 1 will <br />also be changed from open space/constructed wetlands wildlife habitat (WL) to sealed <br />water storage ()VR). The third proposed amendment change is to add approximately 77 <br />acres of new affected land to include three contiguous properties to the south and east <br />already owned by the operator/applicant. The new parcels will be reclaimed as both <br />water storage (WR) within the 100-year floodplain and as future reclaimed cropland (CR) <br />along Brighton Road by backfilling and re-grading above the 100-year floodplain <br />following mining. Several additional minor related changes will also occur as described <br />in more detail in the mining and reclamation exhibits included herein. <br />In compliance with the Rules and Regulations established by the State of <br />Colorado vis a vis the Mined Land Reclamation Act, the DRMS, and the Mined Land <br />Reclamation Board (Board), the following materials outline Ready Mixed's proposed <br />mining and reclamation plans for the affected land. Specifically, this amendment <br />encompasses re-submittal of 19 exhibits and submittal of two new exhibits currently <br />required for a DRMS permit amendment application. Specific data relative to climate <br />(Exhibit K) was included for completeness, but remains unchanged since original permit <br />approval in 1987 (and submittal of AM-001 in 1995). This amendment application <br />includes the following exhibits: <br />• Exhibit A - Legal Description <br />• Exhibit B - Index Map <br />• Exhibit C - Pre-mining Plan Maps of Affected Lands <br />2
