Everist, Inc. requests a partial release of the financial and performance warranties of the Lohmann <br />Sand and Gravel mine, DRMS Permit M-2001-017. We are requesting partial release of the area known <br />as the French Pit. The French Pit is the east section of the Lohmann Sand and Gravel Mine and is <br />located in Section 6, Township 2 North, Range 67 West, in the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado. L.G. <br />Everist, Inc. is leasing this property from the landowners, James and Dolores French. <br />The French Pit has been fully mined and reclaimed as per the approved reclamation plan for the mine <br />site. The reclamation completed at the French Pit includes the construction and certification of the slurry <br />wall, the backfilling, sloping, grading, and the initial seeding. We request a partial release from all the <br />performance and financial warranties associated with the reclamation items listed above as being <br />completed. We realize that we cannot request a full release of this area yet, because we must wait for <br />the newly seeded areas to reach a fully revegetated and sustainable state. <br />The French Pit slurry wall was approved and certified by the Colorado Division of Water Resources, <br />Office of the State Engineer, in a letter dated January 5, 2009. A copy of the certification letter is <br />attached for your Division files. <br />If you have any questions or need anything else to process this release request, please contact Lynn <br />Shults at 303-286-2247 or Imshults@lgeverist.com.
