P.M. <br />Water Division 1, Water District 3, Weld County <br />Approval Period: June 26, 2012 through May 31, 2013 <br />Contact Info for Ms. Wynne: 3033806 -8952, kwynne(a)bba water. com <br />Dear Mr. Wynne: <br />Your letters dated March 22, 2012 and June 25, 2012 requesting an approval for a <br />combined Substitute Water Supply Plan ( "SWSP ") for the above mentioned gravel pits has <br />been reviewed. The required fee of $257 for the renewal of the Greeley 35th Ave SWSP, and <br />$1,593 for the inclusion of a new SWSP for the Iverson Pit, has been submitted (receipt nos. <br />3655882 and 3654516, respectively). The original SWSP, which was only for the Greeley 35th <br />Ave Pit, was originally approved on February 12, 1992 and it was most recently approved in a <br />letter dated January 11, 2011. <br />SWSP Operation <br />Since the last SWSP approval letter Martin Marietta Materials ( "MMM" or "Applicant ") <br />acquired the Greeley 35th Ave Pit from Lafarge West. The Division of Reclamation, Mining and <br />Safety ( "DRMS ") approved the Succession of Operators, which officially transferred all <br />operational and reclamation responsibilities from Lafarge West to MMM on February 27, 2012. <br />Also on February 27, 2012 DRMS issued a mining and reclamation permit to MMM for the <br />neighboring Iverson Pit. <br />MMM will effectively operate both the 35th Ave Pit and Iverson Pit as one operation as <br />they will share the mining infrastructure already in place at the 35th Ave Pit, the water lease <br />used for replacement, the water supply for dust control, and credits from Iverson Pit dewaterinq <br />operations. Under this plan, MMM will begin mining the Iverson Pit and continue mining the 35 <br />Ave Pit. Depletions from both pits will affect the Cache la Poudre River at approximately the <br />same location and will be replaced through various leases with th(RQtiL g V�g01ey and <br />dewatering credits generated at the Iverson Pit.
