February 12, 2013 L.G. EVERIST, INC./ ROCK SOLD SINCE 1876 Mr. Eric Scott V Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 Denver CO 80203 RE: Fort Lupton Sand and Gravel, M-19‘-120, Corrective Action Completion Dear Eric: In early January, 2013, L.G. Everist, Inc. completed the Corre�ctive Actions noted in your inspection report, for the inspection of the Fort Lupton Sand and Gravel mine on O ober 16, 2012._ The corrective actions required that: "The Operator shall conduct a survey and replace the boundary markers in the correct location(s)." L.G Everist respectfully submits a Permit Boundary Map and photographs taken in later January in the field as proof that the survey has been completed and the permit boundary markers are in place. The map is an aerial photo that shows the entire surveyed permit boundary of Fort Lupton Sand and Gravel. The red lines show where fences are in place and black lines where boundary markers have been placed to delineate the boundaries A copy of Map Exhibit B - Vicinity Map (from the amendment materials) is included for reference as well. A summary list of the photographs taken of many of the permit boundary markers (and some fencing) is attached with location descriptions. There are more markers in the field - some photographs did not come out well, so have not been included. Permit Boundary Overview There is fencing along the entire northern and southern boundaries. The fencing is sporadic along the western and eastern boundaries, so permit boundary markers were placed as needed for a visual line of sight from marker to marker. The only non -mine, non -owned property within the permit boundary - the Rankin property - has a fence around the entire property. Where fencing was missing, permit boundary markers were placed on the permit boundary with two exceptions: Markers along the South Platte River were placed as close to the river as possible on the west side (basically on top of the bank), and no markers were placed on the east side of the river, as we will not be affecting any of the small areas across the river from our mine site. The markers were offset to the inside of the property border in the southwest section of the site - starting from the southwest corner then north to the first section of fence shown on the attached Permit Boundary map. (If the markers had been placed on the exact border in this area, they would have been in the middle of the Lupton Bottoms Ditch and /or access roads.) There are two markers at every surveyed point - a wooden lath post with pink tape was placed at the point when it was surveyed. The operator double- marked all surveyed points with a dark green metal t -post with a white top. Northern Boundary The northern boundary is fenced and generally runs along the south side of Weld County Road 18, with one private property jutting south of WCR 18 (Dodge property) and one permitted property ( "Blue Ribbon ") located on the north side of WCR 18. The Dodge property is surrounded by fencing, and the Blue Ribbon property is also surrounded by fencing. The northwestern corner is at WCR 18 and the bridge that crosses over the Lupton Bottoms Ditch West Lateral. The northeastern corner is at WCR 18 and the driveway to the Hill's private property, just on the west side of the South Platte River.
