properties referred to (from north to south) as the Archuleta, Reinoehl and <br />Arends properties. <br />6. There is an existing inholding, known as the Spier property, which is <br />surrounded on three sides by the Arends property. <br />Some of the proposed expansion site lies within the 100 year floodplain of the <br />South Platte River. Surface mining of alluvial sand and gravel is proposed for the entire <br />new site area within normal and special geotechnical setbacks. Mining will generally be <br />done by dry mining as described further below. <br />Following mining, the site area within the 100-year floodplain will be reclaimed <br />as a sealed water storage reservoir with a revegetated irregular shoreline for limited <br />wildlife habitat and to conform to surrounding land use. Any land with existing <br />elevations above the 100-year floodplain will be filled and graded for future re- <br />establishment as cropland. <br />The purpose of this Exhibit is to describe in detail the proposed mining plan for <br />the expanded area of the operation. The accompanying Figure D1, Exhibit-D Mining <br />Plan, portrays the elements of the proposed mining operation for the expansion area as <br />described in this narrative. Completion of mining of the existing permitted area will be in <br />accordance with the existing DRMS permit phasing as per the approved permit, <br />Amendment No. 1 and subsequent Technical Revisions affecting phasing. Existing <br />approved phasing is only partially shown on The Mining Plan maps, which are intended <br />to describe new mining not previously approved. This is because mining of the existing <br />permitted is already nearly completed in accordance with permit conditions. The <br />remaining areas to be mined in the existing permit area include the southeast corner of <br />Phase 10 (Figure D1, 1 of 2) and Phase 11 comprising the "land bridge" from the plant to <br />the Erger's Pond Pit facility to the north. <br />Concurrent with the submittal of this Regular (112) Permit amendment <br />application to DRMS, Ready Mixed is also submitting an application for a Special Use <br />Permit for sand and gravel mining and reclamation as well as annexation petitions to the <br />City of Brighton, Colorado. Zoning and annexation paperwork is being prepared by <br />ADCO Consulting and is separate from this DRMS submittal. Brighton intends to annex <br />20
