Pagel 7 Response: Precision Excavating, Inc. will use its current Sand and Gravel Discharge Permit #COG- 500000 at facility #COG-500396 to add two addition outfalls for water discharge. The first outfall discharge will be a groundwater application. The second outfall will be discharged directly into the Yampa River and will be added once enough material has been mined to install sedimentation ponds. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Water Quality Division will need exact coordinates of the outfalls to be able to list them into the permit. Precision Excavating, Inc. will survey the exact points of the location of the outfalls and apply for an amendment to the current discharge permit once the Division has approved the 112 permit amendment. Precision commits to provide the Division a copy of the amended Sand and Gravel Discharge Permit. Rule 6.4.12 Exhibit L - Reclamation Costs 25. Comment: The Division will estimate the cost to reclaim the site based on the information submitted on June 16, 2009 and once the applicant addresses the concerns noted in this letter. In addition, the Division will include costs to reclaim the site not included in the applicant's estimate. Response: Acknowledged. 26. Comment: Since mining and reclamation at this site includes dewatering of the pits, the bond calculation for the site should include costs related to dewatering of the largest affected pit to account for the costs that would be incurred by the State if water had to be removed from the pit in order to establish the proper reclaimed slopes along a pit wall. Response: Acknowledged. Rule 6.4.13 Exhibit M - Other Permits and Licenses 27. Comment: The applicant stated in a letter dated June 16, 2009, a Gravel Pit Well Permit and a 404 Permit Application are being prepared by the applicant. The applicant acknowledged that a Well Permit must be obtained before exposing groundwater in the expansion area and committed to not disturb the wetlands prior to receiving a 404 Permit from the Corps. Please commit to providing a copy of both permits to the Division before engaging in either activity. Response: The applicant commits to providing a copy of both permits to the Division before engaging in either activity. A copy of the Gravel Pit Well Permit application is included for your records. 28. Comment: Please commit to providing the Division with a copy of the Routt County Floodplain Permit for the Camilletti Milner Pit #2 amendment area. Response: The expansion area is not located within the FEMA designated floodway, only the flood fringe. No permanent structures are proposed within the expansion area. Therefore, the County did not require a Floodplain Permit for the project. Rule 6 4 14 Exhibit N - Source of Legal Right to Enter 29. Comment: Provide the Division with a copy of the sources of the applicant's legal right to enter and initiate a mining operation in the amendment area. The applicant stated a copy of the State Land Board lease was provided with the amendment application. The State Land Board lease was not submitted with the amendment application. Response: An authorization letter from Camilletti and Sons is included. A copy of the State Land Board lease is also included. Rule 6 4 18 Exhibit R - Proof of Filing with County Clerk and Recorder 30. Comment: Provide the Division with proof of filing revised application and maps dated May 14, 2009 with the County Clerk and Recorder.

The revised application and maps dated May 14, 2009 were inadvertently not filed with the County Clerk and Recorder.
