Applicant in <br />discussions with DRMS to resolve. <br />East 8th Street Pit <br />Ground Water Lake <br />$226,000 <br />1 <br />City of Greeley has long term <br />augmentation responsibility <br />Jared Dains <br />South Platte Combined Replacement Plan <br />March 14, 2012 <br />Page 12 <br />comply with the requirements of the Colorado Reclamation Act and the Mineral Rules and <br />Regulations for the protection of water resources. The April 30, 2010 letter from DRMS requires <br />that you provide information to DRMS to demonstrate you can replace long term injurious stream <br />depletions that result from mining related exposure of ground water. The DRMS letter identifies <br />four approaches to satisfy this requirement. <br />In accordance with approach no. 4, you have provided an affidavit dated February 29, 2012, <br />that dedicates the 13.5 shares of the Whitney Ditch Company and 96 shares of the Fulton Irrigating <br />Ditch Company as replacement water solely for this SWSP for as long as there are depletions at <br />these gravel pit sites or until such time as another replacement source is obtained. A copy of the <br />affidavit is attached to this letter. For the purposes of this SWSP, this affidavit will be accepted for <br />the dedication of the shares; however, if the State Engineer determines that a different affidavit or <br />dedication process is necessary to assure proper dedication of the shares, additional information <br />may be required prior to future SWSP approvals. The current bond posted for the F- Street pit was <br />found to be inadequate during a site inspection by DRMS on February 10, 2012. Aggregate is in <br />on -going discussions with DRMS and the property owner regarding the need for an increased bond. <br />Until this issue is resolved, or shares are dedicated to this plan for the purposes of long term <br />injurious stream depletions, no diversion of ground water beyond that approved by this SWSP <br />(evaporation) will be permitted at the site. <br />A summary of the final reclamation and the compliance approach to the DRMS letter <br />including the current posted bond amount is shown on the next page in Table E. <br />Table E — Final Reclamation Summary <br />
