Everist, Inc.'s Fort Lupton Sand and Gravel Mine, <br />DRMS Permit M- 1999 -120 - Hill - Oakley Phase and Fort Lupton East Phase <br />Dear Ms. Darling, <br />Reclamation has been completed on the Hill - Oakley and Fort Lupton East Phases of L.G. Everist, Inc.'s Fort <br />Lupton Sand and Gravel Mine, M- 1999 -120 - including the slurry wall liners, backfilling, sloping, grading and <br />seeding of the site. The slurry wall liners of both phases have passed the leak test required by the Colorado <br />Office of the State Engineer (SEO) and have continued to meet the SEO design standard. The Fort Lupton East <br />phase had additional slope construction done in 2012 with the design and QA/QC monitoring by Deere & Ault. <br />The initial seeding was completed around the upper reaches of the reservoirs in April -2012. Copies of the two <br />SEO approval letters and the seeding invoice are attached for your reference. <br />Ted Hartfelder, Aurora Water Projects Manager, inspected the areas on Monday, June 10, 2013, and found them <br />to be more than satisfactory. So, with reclamation complete and site Inspection done on the -Hill- Oakley and Fort <br />Lupton East Phases, L. G. Everist, Inc. respectfully requests an acknowledgment of acceptance from the City of <br />Aurora (Aurora) to receive the reclaimed areas as is. <br />As you know, L.G. Everist modified our Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety (DRMS) reclamation permit <br />on the Fort Lupton site with Technical Revision TR -04, in 2009. The revision states, "Modify final vegetation <br />standard to allow release prior to full vegetation establishment, all other reclamation standards remain in effect." <br />Of course, DRMS appreciates knowing that acreage released from the permit will be taken over by a responsible <br />party, hence why we would like to include this acceptance letter in our DRMS acreage release request for the Hill - <br />Oakley and Fort Lupton East Phases. <br />Thank you for acknowledging acceptance of the Hill - Oakley and Fort Lupton East Phases as is, and please return <br />a signed copy of the letter to me so that I can include it in my release request to the DRMS <br />If you have any questions, please contact me at 303 - 286 -2247 or by email (Imshults @lgeverist.com). <br />4nere I y, <br />a yer Shults <br />Regulatory Manager <br />cc: Austin Hamre, Esq Special Water Counsel for Aurora Water <br />Dennis Fields, L.G Everist, Inc. <br />FL -DRMS- Aurora- HillOakley &FLEastAsls- 061113 doc <br />
