Inc., submitted a <br />renewal of the substitute supply plan (SSP) on behalf of Lafarge West, Inc. for their East Rigden <br />sand and gravel pit in Larimer County. The renewal was approved by the State Engineer's Office <br />in a letter dated September 22, 2004. The East Rigden Pit is owned by Cottonwood Land and <br />farms, Ltd. (Flatiron), but is currently leased for mining by Lafazge. Flatiron provides water <br />rights for augmentation and Lafazge maintains the substitute supply plan. <br />It has come to my attention that the second paragraph of Richards' August 26a' Letter needs <br />clarification regazding the status of mining and reclamation activities at the East Rigden Pit. The <br />Purpose of this letter is to provide additional information regazding the status of mining and <br />reclamation activities at East Rigden. Therefore, for the record, please note that Lafazge has <br />completed their mining activities at the East Rigden sand and gravel pit and that any additional <br />mining will likely be done by Flatiron. Also, please note that with regazd to the "construction of a <br />clay reservoir liner", Flatiron initiated limited construction of a clay liner to determine its <br />feasibility ai this site; however, no decision has been made at this time regarding the construction <br />of a lined reservoir at the East Rigden pit. <br />If you have any question regarding this letter please do not hesitate to call me at (303) 499- <br />1441. <br />S~Y~/""~~"~)~~, <br />Bill McDowell, <br />Managing Partner <br />Cc: Erica Crosby Colorado DMG ~~~ ~ ~-~- <br />Richard Raines, Applegate Group <br />~vJ,flws <br />_~ <br />
