A. The Permittee, GP Ranches, LLC desires to conduct a mining operation known as West Farm Pit, for the

the Division.
C. If the Permittee desires to extract materials other than those listed in (A), a separate permit or a permit

1. The application for this permit complies with the requirements of the Colorado Mined Land
Reclamation Act for the Extraction of Construction Materials, C.R.S. 34-32.5-101 et seq., as amended, and with all
applicable local, state and federal laws;
2. The operation will not adversely affect the stability of any significant, valuable, and permanent
man-made structure located within two hundred feet of the Affected Land, except where there is an agreement between
the Operator and the persons having an interest in the structure that damage to the structure is to be compensated for by
the Permittee if such an agreement cannot be reached, an engineering analysis establishes no damage will occur to the
