RECEIVED Sfk r 1 JUL 19 2012 July 17, 2012 Division of Reclamation, Mining&Safety AN Mr. Tom Kaldenbach AGGREGATE Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety 1300 Sherman Street, Room 201 INDUSTRIES Denver, CO Re: M-2000-082 - East 8th Street Operation—Acreage Reduction Request Dear Tom: Aggregate Industries-WCR, Inc. (AI) submits this letter as a request for an acreage reduction of approximately 21.15 acres from the above-referenced permit. This reduction request is based upon a partial termination of AI's mining lease with property owners GURA and Leprino Foods Company(Leprino) and terms of AI's lease agreement for the remaining acreage with property owner Greeley Urban Renewal Authority(GURA). The current permit area of the East 8th Street Operation contains approximately 69.9 acres of land and is located within the City of Greeley. City of Greeley approved a minor subdivision for the property and re-zoned a portion of the property in September, 2010. Per Meyer Minor Subdivision final plat recorded December 20, 2010 at Reception No. 3739916 in the office of the Weld County Clerk and Recorder(copy enclosed), approximately 17.36 acres of the permit area was rezoned from C-D (Conservation District), which allows sand and gravel mining as a Use by Special Review, to I-M (Industrial Medium Intensity), which does not allow sand and gravel mining. The subdivision and re-zoning were approved to accommodate Leprino's purchase from GURA and development of approximately 12.79 acres (Lot 1 and Outlot A as depicted on the Meyer Minor Subdivision Plat), for its cheese and whey factory. Leprino purchased from GURA the 12.79 acre parcels in December, 2010 subject to the mining lease between GURA and AI. In conjunction with Leprino's purchase, Leprino, GURA and AI executed a Partial Termination of Mining Lease (Termination), terminating AI's right to mine Lot 1 and Outlot A and Lot 2 and Outlot B of the Meyer Minor Subdivision, subject to AI's continued right to make use of an existing access from Ash Avenue across the Leprino property. A copy of the Termination is enclosed. In accordance with the Termination, GURA relocated and seeded stockpiles from parcels terminated from the lease to the northwest corner of the Phase III mine area and AI has Aggregate Industries West Central Region, Inc. 1707 Cole Blvd., Suite 100 Golden, CO 80401 Telephone:303-985-1070 An Equal Opportunity Employer
