RE., Acceptance of Reclamation of Golden Phase of L.G. Everlet, Ine.'s Fort Lupton Sand and
Gravel Mine, DRMS Permit M-1999420
Dear Ms, Darling:
L. G. Everist, Inc. is requesting City of Aurora's signed acknowledgment of acceptance of the reclamation
as is of the Golden Phase of L.G. Everist, Inc.'s Fort Lupton Sand and Gravel Mine, M-1999-120. All
reclamation has been completed - including the backfilling, sloping, grading, and initial seeding.
As you know, we recently received approval from the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, and
Safety (DRMS) for the Technical Revision TR-04, which states, "Modify final vegetation standard to allow
release prior to full vegetation establishment, all other reclamation standards remain in effect." We
received this approval in part due to our contract with Aurora, thank you.
To get ready for the upcoming sale of the Golden Phase/property to Aurora, L.G. Everist has requested a
full performance warranty and financial (bond) warranty release of the Golden Phase from the DRMS. A
representative of the DRMS has inspected the Golden Phase and found the reclamation acceptable, with
the exception of a small area at the bottom of the southern end of the pit. Aurora has expressed that the
bottom grading in this area is not of concern. DMRS is willing to grant quick approval of our release
request with the City of Aurora's acceptance of the reclamation of the Golden Phase as is.
Please provide a signature from a representative of Aurora to show acknowledgement of approval of the
reclamation as is of the Golden Phase. This acknowledgment does not change or nullify any previously
signed contracts, letters, or agreements between the City of Aurora and L.G. Everist.
