TETRA TECH <br />November 30, 2010 <br />TowerCo <br />5000 Valleystone Drive <br />Cary, NC 27519 <br />Attn: Property Management West Region <br />RE: Tower C02049 within 200' of the Iverson Mine <br />Dear Denise: <br />Lafarge West, Inc. (Lafarge) will be applying for a Regular 112 Reclamation Permit with the <br />Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety (DBMS) to mine sand and gravel on the <br />Iverson property which is located in Section 34 T6N, R66W of the 6 h P.M., Weld County, <br />Colorado. As is required by the DBMS, we are notifying you because TowerCo has some structures <br />within 200' of the land that will be affected by mining and reclamation operations on the Iverson <br />property. Therefore, the DRMS asks that Lafarge submit a notarized agreement between TowerCo <br />and Lafarge that indicates that Lafarge will compensate TowerCo (the structure owner) for any <br />damage to your structures caused by the mining. If an agreement cannot be reached, Lafarge is <br />required to submit an engineering evaluation to demonstrate that the structure will not be damaged <br />by the mining activities. <br />Therefore, as part of the process of designing the mining and reclamation plan for the Iverson <br />property, Lafarge asked Tetra Tech prepare a Stability Analysis Report to address the stability of <br />permanent manmade structures within 200' of the mining operation areas. Attached is a copy of that <br />Report. The Report indicates that while the proposed mining and reclamation activities on the <br />Iverson property will be less than 200' from your facilities, it should not pose a hazard to any of <br />your structures. <br />Attached are two copies of an Agreement that we have drafted which commits Lafarge to repairing, <br />replacing or compensating you for any damage to your structures caused by the mining. We would <br />ask that you or a representative from TowerCo sign the Agreement, have the signature notarized and <br />then mail one copy of the Agreement back to me at the address below. <br />Pam Hora <br />Tetra Tech <br />1900 S. Sunset Street, Suite IF <br />Longmont, CO 80501 <br />Phone: 303-772-5282 <br />Email: pam.hora@tetratech.com <br />Upon receipt of the signed Agreement, I will have Lafarge's representative sign the Agreement and <br />then I will mail you a copy for your records. <br />
