This pit is located approximately 14 miles North of Loma adjacent to Highway 139 in the high arid desert on a large parcel of land known as Young's Ranch. This site was permitted in 1988 to fulfill a paving contract on Douglas Pass. Mining was completed in 1989 and reclamation activities commenced at that time. Grading, topsoil replacement and seeding were completed in 1990. Our 1991 bond release request details information regarding these activities. In July of 1991 a bond release inspection was conducted by Gregg Squire. As a result of that inspection. the division recommended bond reduction from $25,000 to $5,000 with full bond release pending vegetative success. Since only marginal vegetative success was displayed at that time the seed mixture was revised per Mr. Squire's recommendation. Seeding with the new mixture was accomplished in late 1991. The photos (taken June 10, 1993) enclosed document the establishment of grass and sweet clover populations at the site. Notice of this bond release request has been mailed to the land owner and Garfield County. Receipts of such mailing will be forwarded to you in the near future. Please notify me when you are ready to schedule the bond release inspection so we can arrange a mutually agreeable date.

(Rev 7/86) 2822F EXHIBIT A LEGAL DESCRIPTION The legal description of the permit area for the proposed Young Gravel Pit is as follows: A portion of Lots 9, 19, 20, 29 and 30 in Section 6, Township 8 South, Range 102 West located in Garfield County, Colorado. The acreage within the proposed permit area is approximately ten (10) acres. Actual gravel extraction area will be approximately 5.9 acres. The property described is located 14 miles north of Loma, Colorado on State Highway 139. -2- EXHIBIT B SITE DESCRIPTION The site of the proposed gravel operation is located approximately 14 miles north of Loma, Colorado on State Highway 139, known as the Douglas Pass Road. The purpose of the gravel operation will be to supply gravel products for a State Highway contract to reconstruct a portion of State Highway 139. Access to the proposed gravel operation is from State Highway 139 on an existing road. This access road will require improvement for truck haulage. The site of the proposed gravel pit is an east trending low ridge with sparse bushes and sagebrush. There is an abandoned house on the south side of the ridge within the proposed permit area. Elam Construction, Inc. has the permission of the land owner to remove the building. There is a dry stockpond located at the east toe of the ridge which Elam will use as a storage location for water hauled in to be used for dust suppression while operating. The pond will be left for the land owner's use. Also located within the proposed permit area is an access road to Northwest Pipeline Corporation's Corcoran Point Compressor Station. This road will be relocated to the satisfaction of the land owner and Northwest Pipeline Corporation. All structures are indicated on the Mine Plan Map (Map 2) in Exhibit E. Structures within 200 feet of the permit include an old corral and out buildings south of the permit area, a barbed wire fence east of the permit area and a ditch along the access road. None of these structures will be disturbed during mining as indicated on the Mine Plan Map (Map 2) in Exhibit E. The Soil Conservation Service was contacted and a request to furnish vegetation and soils characteristics and reclamation recommendations was issued. The SCS responded by providing a soils map, soils description and general range site descriptions. -3- The ridge containing the gravel deposit has no salvageable topsoil, but the facilities area shown on the Mine Plan Map (Map 2) and the Reclamation Map (Map 3) contains a soil type classified as Youngston loam. According to the SCS soils description, included in Exhibit B, there is 12 inches to 14 inches of topsoil. The soil below 14 inches is saline and therefore not conducive to revegetation. The vegetation aspect of this site is mixed grass -shrubby. Seventy-five percent of the production of this semi -arid salt desert location is made up of grasses. The Division of Wildlife was contacted and asked to prepare a statement describing species and habitat of wildlife that might be present on the site or affected by the proposed operation. A copy of the letter containing the wildlife statement is included in this exhibit. There are two (2) cottonwood trees located within the proposed permit boundary. Elam has commited to not disturbing or removing either of these trees. The location of these trees is noted on the Mine Plan Map (Map 2) and the Reclamation Map (Map 3). -4- United States Si 2754 Compal rive, Suite 170 Department of Conservation Grand Junction, Colorado 81505 Agriculture Service Phone (3031 242-4511 sy 10, 1.38 F.

The lower part to a depth._of 60 inches is_:atratifiedloam Included in this unit are small areas of Billings silty clay loam and Trail loamy sand. Included areas make up about 10 percent of the total acreage. Permeability of the Youngston soil is moderate. Available water capacity is high. Effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more. Runoff is sloe, and the hazard of water erosion is slight on lower slopes to high on steeper slopes. The lower_vart of the soil is saline. This unit is used for livestock grazing and wildlife habitat. The potential plant community on this unit is mainly galleta, Indian ricegrass, and shadscale. If the condition Nuttal saltbush, Douglas rahbithrush, broom of the range deteriorates, snakeweed, and plains pricklypear increase. If the range condition continues to deteriorate cheatgrass, halogeton, Russian thistle, and annual mustard invade. The average annual production of air-dry vegetation ranges from 400 to 800 pounds. Range seeding is suitable if the range is in poor condition. Suitable seeding mixtures can include crested wheatgrass and Indian ricegrass. The plants selected for seeding should meet the seasonal requirements of livestock or wildlife, or both. Seeding late in fall helps to insure that the content of moisture in the soil will he adequate for the establishment of seedlings next spring. Management practices suitable for use on this soil are deferred grazing, and rotation grazing. Youngston soils are fair to poor soil drastically disturbed areas due to excess lime.

PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS 1. Physiographic Features This site is commonly on nearly level flood plains, nearly level terraces, gently sloping uplands, and alluvial fans. In Colorado, it is usually on slopes less than 20 percent. The site occurs on all exposures. Elevation ranges from 1,372 to 2,286 meters. 1/ 2. Climatic Features a. The climate is semi -arid. Winters are cold and snowy, summers are warm and dry. The average annual precipitation ranges from 20 to 38 cm. Peak periods of precipitation generally occurs in the spring and early summer. The site is also enhanced by receiving run-in water during periods of high runoff. b. Plants begin to grow from April 15 to May 15. Short grasses (less than 46 cm in height) dominate the site. The cool -season grasses generally start growth from April 15 to May 1. The warm -season grasses usually start growing from May 1 to May 15. Generally forbs start their growth about April 25 to May 10, while the shrub species start growing from May 5 to May 15. The optimum growth period is generally between April 15 and July 1 for most of these plants. Frost -free period ranges from 100 to 135 days. 3. Native (Climax Potential) Vegetation a. Theplant community is about 55 to 65 percent grasses, 10 to 15 percent forbs, and 35 to 45 percent shrubs, air-dry weight. Alkali sacaton dominates the plant species, making up from 20 to 25 percent of the total annual production on the site. Inland saltgrass, western wheatgrass, basin wildrye, are subdominate. Sandberg bluegrass, basin big sagebrush, four -wing saltbush, black greasewood, bud sagebrush, nuttall saltbush, greenmolly summercypress, mat saltbush and shadscale are important indigenous components. Many other grasses, numerous forbs, and shrubs enhance the wildlife habitat, add color to the site, and variety to the diet of grazing animals. 1/ See metric/English approximate conversions on last page. #'262 Salt Flats MLRA - 34 ;,37 & 39 b.

If ec.sogical retrogression is cattle -induced, desirable grasses will decrease. However, if retrogression is caused by sheep, desirable grasses, (orbs and shrubs may be reduced. Deterioration of the site will decrease alkali sacaton, inland saltgrass, fourwing saltbush and nuttall saltbush. Retrogradation of the site will increase inland saltgrass, silky milkvetch, greenmolly summercypress, two grooved milkvetch, basin big sagebrush and black greasewood. Plant species likely to invade this site and become part of the plant community when the range is in a degenerated condition are, Russian thistle, greenmolly summercypress, halogeton, mustard, Canada thistle, and other plants ecologically undesirable to the site. d. Vegetation density 1 is approximately 5 to 10 percent. 4. Annual Production If the range is in excellent condition, the approximate total annual production (air dry) ranges are: Favorable years Normal years Unfavorable years 1000 kg/ha • 700 kg/ha 500 kg/ha 'Of this production, 15 to 25 percent will likely be unpaltable or out of reach of grazing animals. 5. Soils a. The soils in this site are deep and well drained, with a light brownish -gray to gray (air-dry) surface layer. Underlying layers are heavy sandy clay loam to clays and in places contain some gravel. These soils are on flood plains, low terraces, nearly level to sloping uplands, and alluvial fans. They formed in thick medium to moderately fine textured sediments derived from sedimentary rocks or pedisediments of mixed origin, alkaline marine shales, clay shales and deltaic sediments derived from mixed parent materials. Salinity and alkalinity range from slight to strong. Soil reaction varies between a 7.4 and 9.0 pH. The intake rate is slow to rapid, and water movement through the soil is moderate to slow. Roots penetrate the soils readily. These soils have a low to high water holding capacity, ranging from 20.2 to 25.2 centimeters in a 1.5 -meter profile. Gravel fragments are variable throughout most of the soil profiles that are listed below but average less than 15 percent, by volume. 2/ Vegetation density -basal area.

MAJOR USES AND INTERPRETATIONS FOR: 1. Grazing This site provides fair to good early summer and fall forage for cattle, horses, and small mammals. The animal forage preference generally changes as the spring season progresses into summer, fall and winter. The dominant grass species, alkali sacaton and sand dropseed,are most desirable in the early summer and fall, while western wheatgrass and sandberg bluegrass are more desirable in the spring. In addition,, fourwing saltbush and winterfat are excellent forages throughout most of the year, especially during the winter season. The vegetative palatability of each species will influence. proper'use considerations. Type of grazing animal, season, past grazing use, and associated plant species will directly influence the variation in animal preference for forages under various climatic conditions. 2. Wildlife This site has a high potential for wildlife habitat because of the great variety and abundance of grasses, forbs and shrubs produced. The site provides habitat, at least for part of the year, for cottontail rabbit, waterfowl, antelope, deer, upland gamebirds, nongamebirds, small mammals and reptiles. 3. Watershed (Hydrologic Interpretation) Soils in this site are grouped into "C" hydrologic group, except Arvada loam which is "D", as outlined in the "Soils of Colorado Loss Factors and Erodibility Hydrologic Groupings 1979", handbook. Field investigations are needed to determine hydrological cover conditions and hydrologic curve numbers. The Hydrologic curve number for group C soil is about 74 and group D is about 80, when hydrologic conditions are good, as shown in "Peak Flows in Colorado" handbook. 3/ Slope rangesare based on Colorado soil mapping units. -4- 1) #262 Salt Flats MLRA-34,35,37 & 39 Refer to SCS National Engineering Handbook, Section 4, to determine runoff quantities from the curves. 4. Recreation and Natural Beauty This site has many forbs and shrubs that bloom from early spring to midsummer, which are aesthetically pleasing. Hunting for upland gamebirds and cottontail rabbit is generally good to excellent on this site. 5. Threatened and Endangered Plants and Animals None are identified at this time. 6.

PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS 1. Physiographic Features This site occupies the gently sloping to rolling uplands of the Saltdesert. Degree of slope ranges from 0 to 50%. Direction of slope is not a factor since the site is quite drouthy due to extremely low precipitation. Elevation ranges from 4500 feet to 6500 feet above sea level. 2. Climatic Features Annual precipitation is less than 12 inches. About 50% of this comes in August and September. Optimum growing season for native plants is April to October. Winters are typically cold, averaging 30° F. Temperatures average about 60° F during the growing season. Late May, June, and July are the driest months. April and May are usually windy. 3. Native (potential) Vegetation The aspect of this site is a mixed grass -shrubby vegetation. About 75% of the production is made up of grasses. Galleta, Indian rice - grass, needle -and -thread, and squirreltail are the most frequently seen grasses. Shadscale and Gardner saltbush are conspicuous shrubs. Forbs of significance are biscuitroot, globemallow, Indian paintbrush, sego lily, and Hood's phlox. Other plants that grow on this site include Sandberg bluegrass, buckwheat, loco, winterfat, Douglas rabbitbrush, snakeweed, prickly pear, big sagebrush, bud sagebrush, and four -wing saltbush.

It is our understanding that this project area will be revegetated according to SCS recommendations. This would be adequate but we recommend that the revegetation work be done immediately after the mining work authorized by this permit is completed. Additionally, if any large cottonwood trees are disturbed by the project, they should be replaced on at least a ane for one basis. These trees provide high wildlife values in this type of area. xc: MLRD Sincerely, William R. Elmblad Wildlife Biologist itRY 1 938 [i „ca._trice. DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES, Hamlet J.

Frank Member • Dennis Luttrell, Member • Gene B. Peterson, Member • Larry M. Wright, Member EXHIBIT C MINING PLAN Requirements: A description of the mining plan as detailed in Items 1-11 ITEM I: Dates of Commencement and Termination The commencement of the proposed operation will be on or about June 13, 1988 and will terminate on or about December 23, 1988. The gravel extracted and processed from the Young Gravel Pit will be used for reconstruction of a portion of State Highway 139, known as the Douglas Pass Road. Preliminary examinations indicate approximately 45,000 cubic yards of gravel exist within the proposed permit area. The anticipated date of contract award is the week of June 6, 1988 with work commencing shortly thereafter. The gravel processing is expected to take three (3) weeks depending on weather conditions. Reclamation will start following completion of gravel processing. ITEM II: Topsoil Salvage The Soil Conservation Service was contacted at the Grand Junction office and requested to provide soil characteristics of the area adjacent and including the proposed permit area. The soils information supplied by the SCS indicates that salvageable topsoil is present in a portion of the affected area as shown on the Reclamation Map (Map 3) in Exhibit E. The salvageable topsoil will be saved to the recommended depth of 12-14 inches. The salvaged topsoil will be stockpiled along the north side of the permit area to facilitate respreading at the end of the operation. Any topsoil encountered during the access road improvements will be salvaged and stockpiled at the facilities area location. ITEM 3: Overburden Thickness The gravel deposit is exposed at surface throughout the proposed pit area, therefore no overburden stockpiles will be required. -5- ITEM 4: Thickness of Deposit Preliminary examination indicates a maximum depth of approximately 20 feet. ITEM 5: Major Components of the Mining Operation The proposed gravel operation is accessible by an existing road approximately one-half mile in length. The gravel deposit forms a low east trending ridge. Mining will start at the toe of the ridge on the east and advance westerly over the full width of the ridge. The gravel will be excavated using a front-end loader. During the initial start up of gravel processing, a portable crusher unit will be located directly alongside the gravel deposit. As the gravel extraction advances the portable crusher unit will advance into the excavated pit area. The initial processed gravel stockpile will be located adjacent to the pit area. This stockpile will be short-term because truck haulage from this stockpile will begin immediately. As the pit progresses, subsequent stockpiles will be located within the pit area. Upon completion of gravel crushing and stockpiling, the crusher unit will be removed and replaced with a portable asphalt plant or a portable concrete plant as required. Only one processing facility will be operated in the permit area at a time. The Mine Plan Map (Map 2) in Exhibit E shows approximate locations of equipment and stockpiles. Based on the maximum crusher production of 3,000 tons per day and asphalt production of 2,000 tons per day in conjunction with available trucks, it is estimated that a maximum of 133 round trips per day will utilize the access road. Two (2) types of trucks will be used, 10 yard capacity dump trucks and 25 ton capacity belly dump trucks. Ancillary structures or facilities will include but not be limited to: • Weighing Facility • Mobile Office • Equipment Parking • Portable Toilet • Water Storage Pond Tool Storage -6- ITEM 6: Dimensions of Significant Disturbances Significant disturbances associated with the proposed permit area will be approximately 5.9 acres of pit area and 2.4 acres containing the ancillary structures and facilities. ITEM 7: Dimensions of Roads The existing access road, which is approximately 2,500 feet long will be improved for truck haulage. Improvements will include widening where practical, surfacing with processed gravel, and placing culverts where necessary. The existing road is a one lane dirt road, the widening will consist of a 30 foot roadway where practical and turnouts located on each side of areas where two-way traffic is not practical. Crushed gravel will be used as surfacing. Water or dust control surfactants will be used to minimize dust on the access road. ITEMS 8, 9, & 10: Water Requirements Water will be used for dust control within the pit area and in conjunction with the crushing operations and with the asphalts and concrete processing. Water will also be used on the access road for dust suppression as required. The water required for the proposed operation will be hauled in for direct use or stored in an abandoned small stockpond within the permit area. The water used for this proposed operation will not in any way affect the water rights of the adjacent land owners. The proposed operation is not expected to intercept any ground water. A culvert will be placed in the Howard Canyon drainage as part of the access road improvements. The culvert will enhance the access to the operation as no structure exists presently, only a crossing through the bottom of the draw which is an intermittent stream. Surface water is not expected except during storm events. ITEM 11: Processing As described in Item 5 processing of gravel will be done on site. Gravel will be crushed and stockpiled for truck haulage or for further processing in an asphalt plant or concrete plant. The excavated gravel will be crushed and stockpiled according to size fraction and required final use. The road base fraction will be truck hauled from the permit area, the other fractions will be used for asphalt production and concrete production. Following completion of processing and removal of all stockpiles, reclamation will be implemented using recommendations provided by the SCS. All operations within the proposed permit area will be located and controlled to minimize or eliminate disturbances to the hydrologic balance and prevent off site damage as shown on the Mine Plan Map (Map 2) in Exhibit E. -8- EXHIBIT F SOURCE OF LEGAL RIGHT TO ENTER -10- 06/07/88 07:45 ELRM CONST GJ 3. 245-7716 001 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Pursuant to a Lease Agreement dated June 1, 1988, Ival and Ed Young, Inc., a Colorado corporation, whose address is 990 T Road, Mack, Colorado 81525, has granted to Elam Construction, Inc. the right to mine and process gravel, rock, sand and earth on the following -described real property located in Garfield County, Colorado, described as follows, to -wit: Portions of Lots 9, 19, 20, 21, 27, 29, 30 and 33 of Section 6, Township 8 South, Range 102 West of the 6th P.M.

The control plan must enable the source to minimize fugitive emissions to a level that is technologically feasible and economically reasonable. If the control plan is not adequate in minimizing emissions a revised control plan will be required unless it is determined that no technologically feasible and economically reasonable abatement measures exist. The control plan (if acceptable to the Division) will be used for enforcement purposes on the source(s). Please check the control measures which you propose for your activity. A separate sheet may be attached explaining your specific control measures or activities if they differ from those listed in this form or if more space is needed. The Division will contact you if it feels that additional control measures are needed. The control measures you and the Division agree to be applied will be enforced. Those controls likely to be required by the Division are indicated with an * (minimal controls). I.
