The mine is permitted with the Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety ("DRMS") under Permit No. M-2017-032. The required $257 fee has been paid and given receipt no. 3686131. PLAN OF OPERATION The Rocky Ford East Pit was previously operated by Valco, Inc. ("Valco") under a combined SWSP plan, together with the Lamar East Pit and the Canon City East Pit. Valco previously conveyed the Lamar East Pit to the City of Lamar, and separated the Rocky Ford East Pit from the combined plan due to changes in the water supply. Valco has sold the 22 West Parcel (the portion of the property west of County Road 22) to Deep Cut, LLC. Valco has also transferred two shares of the Rocky Ford Ditch to Deep Cut. Valco has retained a portion of the Rocky Ford East Pit (that portion of the property east of County Road 22) and will continue replacing evaporative depletions on that portion of the property under SWSP ID 0115. 1313 Sherman Street, Room 821, Denver, 0080203 P301.866-3581 www_Colorsdo-90V/water John W.
