Exhibit A — Location Map - See the attached Exhibit A
Exhibit B — Site Description - The site is adjacent to the South Platte River and as such fills with
water by exposing the ground water which is hydraulically connected to the river. The
surrounding area is a tree covered pasture and the pond itself is stocked with fish by the
Colorado Department of Wildlife which has an easement on the property.
Exhibit C — Mining Plan — A mining plan was submitted in the permit M- 1840 -040 as Exhibit B.
Additional Information is provided below:
Mining has been carried out on an intermittent bases(to meet customer
requirements) since 1984
Topsoil depth is 2 -2.5 feet and will be used to build a berm around the pond. The
soils below the topsoil contain veins of gravel which will be stockpiled and used
where high quality material is not required
Total depth of overburden, including topsoil, varies from 2 -4 feet
The pit will be mined to a depth of 22 feet
An unimproved road provides access to the site and there are no other facilities in
the area
Since most, if not all, of the overburden will either be used I n constructing the berm
or used commercially (silt bearing gravels) no significant quantities of waste
materials will be stored on site.
Access to the site is by unimproved roads wide enough for equipment to access the
mining area
Water will not be used in the mining operation, but evaporation loses will occur
from the open pit.
i. Water quality of the underground water and the river will not be affected by the
mining operation as no chemicals or other contaminants are used
A well permit has been obtained and the evaporation losses are covered by a
substitute water supply plan provided by the Colorado Department of Wildlife
Not applicable
The Colorado Department of Wildlife will control the property when the mining
operations are completed and plan to continue using the pit as a fishing pond
