The approved Reclamation Plan for Greeley 35th <br />Avenue shows twelve reclaimed ponds totaling 164.4 acres versus the proposed plan (Exhibit F) <br />which proposed five reclaimed ponds totaling 139 acres. In addition, the approved plan shows the <br />southeast corner of the property as open land whereas the current plan proposes an "Industrial Use <br />Area" to maintain the plant site operations following reclamation of the mined portion of the <br />property. The only difference will be that this plant site will process materials from mines other <br />than Greeley 35th Avenue. Lafarge has a USR permit through Weld County which allows this <br />property to be used as a plant site and the permit does not restrict how long it can be used for this <br />purpose. There is a small drainage pond in this Industrial Use Area that is vegetated; otherwise, the <br />area delineated on Exhibit F as an Industrial Use Area will not require any reseeding or other <br />reclamation because it will continue operating as it does now. The manmade features and structures <br />related to the plant site operation that are currently found in this Industrial Use Area and will remain <br />on site following reclamation are shown on the Reclamation Plan (Exhibit F) and include the <br />following: <br />Office/Scale House with scale <br />Portable Crushing Plant <br />Office Trailer <br />Concrete Plant <br />Asphaltic Cement Tank <br />Plant site access road <br />Asphalt Plant <br />Wash-out area stalls <br />Asphalt QC lab <br />Drainage pond <br />Greeley 35`" Avenue Pit (M-1977-036) <br />DRMS 112 Reclamation Permit Amendment Application <br />Page E4 of E4
