Dear 1VIr. Mount:
On behalf of our client, Mountain Park Concrete, Inc., please accept the following technical
revision information for the Parshall Pit operation, reclamation permit number M-1998-034. The.

included. In addition, a check is attached for the $216 Technical Revision fee.
The Parshall Pit is located approximately 3 miles south of Parshall, Colorado east of Williams

generally located on the Wl/2 Wl/2 of Section 31, Township 1 North, Range 78 West of the 6~'
P.M. in Grand County, Colorado. The pit was originally permitted in 1998 for sand and gravel
mining.. Mining operations are underway at the site. The proposed future land use, or goal of
reclamation, is rangeland.
The original mining and reclamation plans included the use of wash water settling ponds. Based
on new information, the applicant is submitting this technical revision to revise the mining and
reclamation plans as follows:

According to the Mining Plan, three wash water settling ponds were to be located in the southern
portion of the permit area and were intended to be used throughout all three mining phases.
However, the operator intends to replace the need for the wash water settling ponds by using a
water clarifier process. The water clarifier process will take place within a 1,280 ft2 concrete
structure that will be approximately 16-feet in height.- This structure will generally be located in
the southern portion of the permit area. The water clarifier process will utilize nonhazardous
polymers for flocculation. These polymers will be stored within the structure. The replacement
