(CRI), please accept the following Technical <br />Revision information for reclamation permit M-99-050, Timnath Connell Pit. The Technical <br />Revision is to provide updated information regazding the mining and reclamation plans at the <br />Timnath Connell site. <br />The Timnath Connell Pit is located approximately one mile west of the Town of Timnath in <br />Larimer County, Colorado. The Timnath Connell Pit was originally permitted for sand and <br />gravel mining in 1999 and includes approximately 157.6 acres. The permit states that 144.6 <br />acres will be disturbed.. This Technical Revision does not impact these figures. The property <br />where the Timnath Connell Pit is located is now owned by CRI. It is listed in the original <br />application materials as leased from Esther Weitzel. <br />Mining Plan <br />The current mining plan shows mining to occur in six phases. The revised approach is for the <br />mining to occur in three phases. These phases are illustrated on the attached revised mining plan <br />map. Mining of Phase I has been completed. <br />Mining near the Box Elder Ditch will occur and the mining setbacks will remain 25 feet, as <br />stated in the existing permit. A Technical Revision will be submitted at a later date to relocate <br />and mine through the ditch (Phase 3). <br />A French Drain has been constructed on the north side of the property and is noted on the mining <br />plan. The French Drain reduced maintenance on what was shown on the original plans as an <br />open ditch for dewatering. <br />This Technical Revision also includes the addition and operation of an asphalt batch plant within <br />the Timnath Connell permit boundary. The asphalt plant was previously located at the <br />1499 West 120th Avenue, Suite 200 ~ (303) 452-6611 • Fax (303) 452-2759 <br />Denver, Colorado 80234-2759 www.applegategroup.com <br />
