This application for amendment seeks to modify the Reclarnation Plan (Exhibit E) and Reclamation Cost (Exhibit L) of the Pueblo Cement Plant and Limestone Quarry. Additionally, this amendment updates the cement plant site plan and transmits copies of as built drawings. The addition and modification of structures has not resulted in any changes to the Permit Boundary. No other amendments to the Permit are proposed. This Amendment is in response to the zoning interpretation issued to clarify and interpret the Rio Grande Special Use Permit No. 1999 -002 ( "SUP 1999- 002 "), Pueblo County, Colorado. Specifically, clarification is provided with regard to the nature and duration of the cement manufacturing use permitted under SUP 1999 -002.

Upon the cessation of all extraction activity, SUP 1999 -002 requires the reclamation of only those lands used for mineral extraction and accessory processing activities. Conversely, SUP 1999 -002 does not require reclamation of the land used for cement manufacturing; rather, SUP 1999 -002 contemplates and provides for the continued and perpetual use of the cement manufacturing plant.
