ASPHALT SPECIALTIES CO. 10100 Dallas St. Henderson, CO 80640 (303) 289 -8555 Fax: (303) 289 -7707 ASPHALT SPECIALTIES CO. MEMO TO: Interested Parties FROM: Rob Laird, Resource Manager ' DATE: August 3, 2012 RE: State Mining Amendment to Turnpike Mining Resource No. M- 2004 -009 CC: File Attached to this memo is the required legal notice to be sent to all property owners within 200 ft. of the referenced mine site permit area, all holders of mineral easements within the permit boundary, and all owners of record of land within the permit boundary by the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety ( "DRMS "), the state regulatory agency that permits sand and gravel mining in the state of Colorado. This amendment to the Turnpike Mining Resource does not expand either the permit area or the area to be mined. This amendment is to prepare for removing the Town of Erie's wastewater treatment plant and reservoir from the permit area and to stabilize and remove the shale stockpiles (from reservoir construction) from their current location by burying them in place of the mined out sand and gravel in the area we are currently mining (between Hwy. 52 and the central area of the mine permit). The shale stockpiles should shortly, in all likelihood, be stabilized with vegetation prior to removal and burial onsite. This action will preclude wind and water erosion until the piles can be buried. Below is a description of how this amendment will affect each interested party: ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS: No expansion of the permit area or increased area to be mined within the permit area and stabilization of the shale stockpiles from wind and water erosion. OIL AND GAS OPERATIONS AREAS and GAS TRANSMISSION LINE LOCATIONS: No change. All well and tank battery operations areas are protected from mining and reclamation activities by the Surface Use Agreements signed and in -place and all transmission lines are protected by agreements and offsets in -place between the operator and the gas transmission line companies. UTILITIES: No change or no effect. All utilities (especially those going to the Erie wastewater treatment plant and along State Hwy. 52) are located within designated and legally defined Rights -of -Ways with approved offsets. IRRIGATION DITCH: No change. This amendment only affects areas east of Boulder Cr. The Plumb and Dailey Ditch is on the west side of Boulder Cr. and no mine plan changes are being proposed for this area. Agreements and designs protective of the ditch functionality and wetland seep are in place and on file with the DRMS.
