Avenue <br />Mine, there are some other changes that are shown on the proposed Reclamation Plan to reflect the <br />current and planned reclaimed use of the property. The approved Reclamation Plan for Greeley 35a' <br />Avenue shows twelve reclaimed ponds totaling 164.4 acres versus the proposed plan (Exhibit F) <br />which proposed five reclaimed ponds totaling 140 acres. In addition, the approved plan shows the <br />southeast corner of the property as open land whereas the current plan proposes to maintain the <br />plant site operations following reclamation of the mined portion of the property. (For purposes of <br />the DRMS, it is important to point out that the southeast corner of the property was never mined and <br />is not proposed for any mining as part of this application.) Therefore, the area delineated on <br />Exhibit F as an Industrial Use Area will not require any reseeding or other reclamation because it <br />will just continue operating as it does now. All structures in this area that are shown on the Mining <br />Plan (Exhibit C) are also shown on the Reclamation Plan (Exhibit F). The only difference will be <br />that this plant site will process materials from mines other than Greeley 35th Avenue. Lafarge has a <br />USR permit through Weld County which allows this property to be used as a plant site and the <br />pennit does not restrict how long it can be used for this purpose. <br />Greeley 35'h Avenue Pit (M-1977-036) <br />DRMS 112 Reclamation Permit Amendment Application <br />Page E4 of E4
