RECEIVED JAN 0 3 2007 GARFIELD COUNTY BUILDING & PLANNING • • ®® Banks and Gesso, LLC ■® January 2, 2007 Rick Wenzel Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology 1313 Sherman St., Room 215 Denver, CO 80203 720 Kipling St.,Suite117 Lakewood, Colorado 80215 (303) 274-4277 Fax (303) 274-8329 www.banksandgesso.com Re: Grand River Park Project, Response to 2nd Adequacy Review Dear Mr. Wenzel: This letter contains the response to the Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety adequacy review comments of October 4, 2006, regarding Regular 112 permit application M-2006-046, the Grand River Park Project. This submittal contains limited revisions to earlier plans. These include: (1) elimination of the "clarification basin," to be replaced with a "regulating basin," as discussed under Comment 9 and the Water Management Plan (Comment 21f) below; (2) modified layout of oil and gas pad sites and easements, as dictated by the gas rights/mineral lessee for the property; (3) removal of the southwestern corner of the site from plans pending final determination of wetland status (see revisions to Exhibits C-2 and F); and (4) other minor revisions and clarifications as discussed below. 9. Based on the applicant's response to the Division's initial adequacy review, the Division understands that no fuel will be stored on site until the operator provides the Division with a revision detailing the method of storage including, but not limited to, the containment method and storage location. The operator should be aware that the revision could be a Technical Revision or amendment, depending on what is contained in the submittal. Please confirm if this assumption is correct. In its September 6, 2006 adequacy response, the applicant stated that it "commits to forwarding tank specifications and any other containment design to the Division for incorporation into the M-2006-046 permit as a Technical Revision." This is consistent with the Division's comment above, as the method RECEJV JAN 0 3 2u./ GARFIEL :, BUILDING & PLA' �� vING Applicant's IWnse to Second Adequacy Letter Grand River Park Project, DRMS File M-2006-046 January 2, 2007 Page 2 of storage must be presented to the Division prior to the placement and operation of any diesel fueling equipment on the site. With the identification of potential diesel fueling operations, it is the applicant's intent to disclose and respond to general concerns regarding this activity. No public comment was submitted, and the Division and applicant may presume that, to earn approval, any future submittal will incorporate adequate technical requirements for safe, contained operations. In addition to review by the Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety, diesel fueling operations are subject to regulatory control by other state and federal authorities, as referenced in the initial adequacy response. While the applicant understands and acknowledges that the Division must reserve the right to deem a future submittal of an "amendment," the scope of the potential diesel fuel storage and dispensing operation will be limited to on-site fueling needs, typical of the equipment mobilized at a sand and gravel operation. An "amendment" is defined under Construction Materials Rule 1.1 as "a change in the permit or an application which increases the acreage of the affected land, or which has a significant effect upon the approved or proposed Reclamation Plan." According the same Rule, a "technical revision means a change in the permit or an application, which does not have more than a minor effect upon the approved or proposed Reclamation Plan." Given that on-site fueling is implicit to standard sand and gravel mining practices (e.g., heavy equipment will not be demobilized and re -mobilized every time refueling is required), a centralized facility simply offers an economical way to dispense fuel at one point, rather than many, in the field. Without disputing the Division's ability to deem a future submittal an amendment, the applicant expects that such technical details will not substantially change any aspect of the affected land footprint or reclamation plans. With the above notes provided for clarity, the applicant confirms the Division's understanding as reflected in the above comment. 10. For the purposes of reclamation cost estimating by the Division, please provide the dimensions of the clarification basin to be constructed at the northern end of the Phase 18 mining area. As an initial matter, this submittal revises earlier plans respecting the clarification basin. The assumption of earlier plans involved a collection basin, intended for water quality functions prior to discharge. For practical reasons (e.g., sediment - handling capability of pump equipment, sedimentation design requirements) it has been determined that a centralized collection basin will be eliminated in favor of filtration and water quality measures implemented prior to the point(s) of pumping, on the floor of mining cells. • Applicant's nse to Second Adequacy Letter Grand River F. Project, DRMS File M-2006-046 January 2, 2007 Page 3 In its place, the formerly designated "clarification basin" will be revised to function as a "regulating pond" for water management purposes (see Comment 21f below). For reclamation cost estimating purposes, the differences in basin function are not material, as the basic intent in both cases is to provide a sufficient volume for short-term water storage and discharge flow -routing capabilities. The regulating pond will require a 750,000 gallon capacity; with a standard 1 -foot freeboard and basin side slopes not to exceed 3H:1V, the dimensions of the basin are anticipated to be approximately 200 feet by 200 feet in plan view, by 3 feet deep. 11. In response to the applicant's request for the Division to provide feed back of the applicants proposal "...to commit to mining the final slopes in excavated areas adjacent to screening berms, such that subsidence may be presumed to not be an issue in either the mining or post -mining condition." it would be acceptable to the Division if the operator chooses to mine at a 3H:1V slope to the base of the screening berm. However, since the applicant has committed to maintaining a mining setback distance of two times the depth of the pit, a revision would be required to change the slope configuration adjacent to the screening berms, should the applicant choose to do so after the permit is approved. As in Item 9 above, the Division will determine whether the submittal will be a Technical Revision or an Amendment when it is received. As noted in the applicant's request for feedback concerning alternative locations for screening berms, the intent of this dialogue is that "an appropriate degree of flexibility in the placement of screening berms will be to the benefit of both the operator and the neighboring property owner." Specifically, placement of the berms in the alternative location (e.g., as a continuous slope set to the edge of stable mine slopes, as opposed to a mining permit setback twice the depth of excavation) would allow for a significant buffer of level ground between the screening berms and the neighboring property. While the distance between mining and the neighboring property will be the same in either alternative, the conservative setback from mining for screening berms may result in a more "crowded" aesthetic from the adjacent property, eliminating the off-site view of open foreground. The applicant's representative discussed this proposal in further detail with Carl Mount of the Division on October 19, 2006. Based on this discussion, the applicant understands the Division's concern that the operator commit to a stable mining configuration. Also based on this discussion, we understand that it is not the Division's intent to preclude flexibility if the stability and scope of alternatives is clearly established by the applicant. • Applicant's nse to Second Adequacy Letter Grand River ark Project, DRMS File M-2006-046 January 2, 2007 Page 4 Please note that, in addition to the Division's determination (as stated in the above comment) that slopes mined -to a 3:1 configuration will be stable for zero - setback berm placement, the attached Slope Stability Analysis letter report from Lyman Henn, Inc., generally concludes that near -vertical mine slopes will not appreciably affect structural stability so long as a 25 foot setback is maintained. The applicant believes the record establishes sufficient grounds for the Division to accept a future technical revision that may reduce the berm setback from its current distance of twice the depth of mining (e.g., 50 feet). At this time, the applicant reiterates its commitment to the current configuration of berms, as shown in the previous adequacy submittal on Exhibit C-2. Again, with the acknowledgment that the Division has the right to deem a future submittal an amendment, it is anticipated that any future request for adjustment of berm locations will be a relatively minor technical matter, neither increasing the acreage of the affected area (in fact potentially reducing the affected footprint) nor significantly affecting the reclamation plan. 12. Based on further review of the soils information provided on Pre -Mining Plan Map, zero to sixty inches of material suitable for use as topsoil is available for reclamation. Using this range of depths, an average depth of material available for use as topsoil could be estimated to be thirty inches. Therefore, the Division requests that the applicant commit to replacing at least thirty inches of topsoil in order to successfully establish a diverse, effective, and long-lasting vegetative cover as required by Rule 3.1.10. The Division understands that the applicant believes that the construction of Interstate 70 has resulted in the removal of most of this material and that the actual amount of material available for use as topsoil may be less than what is indicated by the USDA SCS. Therefore, the Division requests that the applicant demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the Division, the actual depth of topsoil present on the site. Adequate demonstration might include a soils investigation consisting of either test pits or soil borings and associated test pit/boring logs documenting the current soil profile. Another option might include a detailed plan on how to test and insure that the growth medium will be equal in nutrient value to the existing growth medium. Please respond. As noted during the applicant representative's discussion with Carl Mount of the Division, on October 19, 2006, the use of general USDA soils information to formulate a prescriptive standard for topsoil placement is unprecedented in our experience under the cited Rule. Rule 3.1.10(1) ("Revegetation") requires operators, as noted by the Division, to ensure that the site is "revegetated in such a way as to establish a diverse, effective, and long-lasting vegetative cover that Applicant's nse to Second Adequacy Letter Grand River ark Project, DRMS File M-2006-046 January 2, 2007 Page 5 is capable of self -regeneration without continued dependence on irrigation, soil amendments or fertilizer..." The applicant and Division have noted that, despite the broad soil classifications applied to the site by USDA mapping, the topsoil horizon across a significant extent of the site has apparently been affected by borrow operations, presumably fill removal to create the floodway levee and road embankment for adjacent Interstate road improvements. Parts of the site have exposed gravel pockets, yet depletion of the indigenous topsoil layer by borrow operations has not prevented those areas from also being vegetatively productive, including harboring some of the mapped wetlands on the site. The benchmark for Rule 3.1.10(1) is the capability of reclaimed soils to be productive in relation to surroundings. Existing conditions at the site clearly demonstrate that 30 inches as a minimum topsoil requirement is: unnecessary to support self -regenerating vegetation; excessive, given the inherent nutritive soil characteristics in an alluvial floodplain, and, especially given the Division's previous adequacy review requesting a six inch topsoil layer at reclamation, arbitrary. The applicant also notes that Rule 3.1.9 ("Topsoiling") provides no basis for the prescription of topsoil depths based on identification of USDA soil mapping units as an existing condition. Rather, the details of a reclamation plan "shall be appropriate to the type of reclamation necessary to achieve the proposed postmining land use" (C.R.S. § 34-32.5-116(2)). Referencing the applicable statutes and Rules, the applicant submits that soil conditions in the proposed reclamation plan will, in terms of the vegetative matrix, be productive and self -regenerating, and will specifically conform to quantitative topsoil depth requirements for recreational facilities in accordance with best practices and standard specifications. (At this time, a passive recreational facility or wildlife park is envisioned as the specific post -mining land use.) Responding to the options presented by the Division in its adequacy comment, the applicant believes the option most consistent with the Rules and the intent to create a viable, productive vegetative cover is to provide detailed specifications that will ensure appropriate nutritive values in the reclaimed topsoil horizon. As alluded to in the previous adequacy response, the applicant believes that topsoil resources across the entire site may be sufficient to provide a six-inch minimum plant growth medium on all reclaimed surfaces above normal water level; given the applicant and the Division's mutual goal of ensuring a versatile and robust plant growth medium, the applicant is firmly committed to providing the six inch layer initially requested and unconditionally states its commitment to providing six inches of topsoil as initially specified by the Division. To further address nutritive capability of the plant growth medium, in accordance with the most recent adequacy review, the applicant commits to a comprehensive soil amendment and seedbed preparation program. This program will consist of initial application of 250 lbs./acre of 18-46-0 fertilizer (diammonium phosphate) • Applicant's nse to Second Adequacy Letter Grand River P r Project, DRMS File M-2006-046 January 2, 2007 Page 6 or equivalent (e.g., manure), to be evenly worked into the plant growth medium by contour plowing. To ensure maximum germination, seed from the specified reclamation mix will be planted by drill seeding or by other mechanical means that scarify the bed and ensure consistent moisture conditions and soil contact. The seeded bed shall be mulched with 2000 lbs./acre of weed -free straw or native grass hay, then crimped. Given a uniform minimum topsoil layer of six inches and this soil amendment program, the reclaimed plant growth medium will meet and exceed all requirements to support the specified post -mining use and associated vegetation. 13. In the Reclamation Plan, the applicant commits to following the recommendations of the NRCS in order to reestablish vegetation on the site. However, on the Reclamation Plan Map the applicant has added a Plant Schedule consisting of several types of trees and shrubs. The Division appreciates the applicant's effort to establish a diverse vegetative cover with the use of trees and shrubs, but please provide a standard for the surviving quantity after five years or upon a future release request. The above comment appears to relate to a new adequacy issue, as the applicant clarified and committed to appropriate NRCS reclamation recommendations related to Comment 13 in the Division's initial adequacy review. The applicant included revised reclamation plans (e.g., Exhibit F) with the September 6, adequacy response, at which time woody vegetation was shown to supplement the planned land cover. Supplemental trees and shrubs are intended to enhance the reclaimed site as a recreational amenity, including the attractiveness of the site for wildlife. The benefits of woody vegetation should not be understated, as such enhancements are directly responsive to review by local Division of Wildlife officials and the recommendations of a consulting biologist; however, these enhancements were not requested by the Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety, and the enhancement intent does not dictate any particular percentage cover or survival ratio. No specific survival ratio is requested in the above comment from the Division and no guidance as to an appropriate survival ratio is provided by the Construction Materials Rules. In further conversation with the Division, a 20 percent survival ratio was cited as an appropriate target. It is assumed that this measure would be taken after an appropriate period of time, such as two growing seasons after planting, or upon request for reclamation release. This is not to say that 80 percent woody plant mortality is to be desired or encouraged; rather, some mortality in any planting situation may be expected, and the applicant/operator will therefore purchase warrantied plant materials meeting nursery stock standards to ensure the greatest chances of survival. The applicant commits to live shrub and tree cover somewhere in the range between a stipulated minimum 20 percent of the • Applicant's nse to Second Adequacy Letter Grand River rk Project, DRMS File M-2006-046 January 2, 2007 Page 7 planned quantity and complete, 100 percent survival. The benefits of woody plant enhancements will be achieved at ratios within this range. 18. Please provide documentation from the owner of the overhead power line to be relocated that relocation of the line has been authorized. The referenced overhead power line (labeled "Local Electrical Service to be Relocated" on Exhibit C-1) was inadvertently omitted from the list of structure owners on Exhibit C-1. It is unclear if the local electric utility, Holy Cross Energy, continues to actively maintain or exercise ownership interest in the structure. Site investigation subsequent to the production of Exhibit C-1 indicates that the illustrated line may no longer serve to connect service to properties to the west of the subject property. In the interest of full compliance with DRMS Rules, it is assumed that Holy Cross Energy is the structure's owner, and Holy Cross Energy was accordingly contacted. The utility will allow the operator to relocate the line, and documentation to this effect is attached to this adequacy response. 19. With respect to the issuance of the TSSP and Well Permit as required by the Office of the State Engineer (OSE), please commit to the following measures: a) Providing the Division with written demonstration of an approved TSSP and Well Permit prior to initiation of de -watering activities at the Silt Pit, and b) Providing the Division with written notice of when de -watering activities have begun at the Silt Pit. At the Division's request, the applicant commits to providing the Division with a written demonstration of an approved TSSP and Well Permit prior to the initiation of de -watering activities at the Grand River Park Project, and will also provide the Division with written notice when de -watering activities have begun or are intended to begin at the Grand River Park Project. 20. It is the Division's understanding that no existing wetlands, whether jurisdictional or non jurisdictional, will be mined through during the mining phase and none will be created during the reclamation phase of the Silt Pit. It is also our understanding that there may be jurisdictional as well as non jurisdictional wetlands on site; however, the exact boundaries of these areas have not yet been confirmed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps). Finally, the Division understands that a Corps determination of whether a Corps permit will be needed for the proposed activities has not yet been made. Please confirm if these three (3) assertions are correct. Applicant's F nse to Second Adequacy Letter Grand River Park Project, DRMS File M-2006-046 January 2, 2007 Page 8 The applicant and land owner are jointly conversing with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regarding the extent and impact of "Section 404" (Clean Water Act, as amended) wetland regulations affecting the project site. The applicant's responds to the Division's assertions above as follows: (1)(a) The applicant's present proposal for mining and reclamation attempts to avoid jurisdictional wetlands. This is a central design principle in the layout of the proposed mining cells. "Non -jurisdictional" wetlands have not been formally delineated on the plan, but generally serve as a setback/buffer area around jurisdictional wetlands. There is an area in the southwest corner of the site having uncertain jurisdictional status. The applicant and land owner and the Corps have agreed to hold a formal jurisdictional delineation in abeyance until questions regarding the hydrology of the Last Chance Ditch are answered. Because the wetlands in this area may or may not have an exempt "artificial" hydrology, the applicant has revised plans (see Exhibit C-2) to show the planned mine in this area as outside mining limits pending determination of its jurisdictional status. Should the area in the southwest corner contain jurisdictional wetlands, the area would be permanently removed from mining plans unless the land owner or applicant receives authorization under a Section 404 Individual or Nationwide Permit. The applicant reserves the right to seek a 404 Permit for any lawful activity under federal statutes and regulations. The included plans could at some point be amended to allow for mining of jurisdictional wetland resources. However, accessing jurisdictional wetlands under 404 permitting would require formal amendment of the state Regular 112 Reclamation Permit to allow for an increase in the mining (affected area) footprint. Detailed development of wetland mitigation measures is a typical condition under Individual 404 Permits and some Nationwide Permits, and, if required, the applicant commits to submitting mitigation plans to the Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety for concurrent review. (1)(b) The applicant does not include any new wetland or plan to create new wetlands on its current mining and reclamation plans. Any plan to create new wetlands (such as mitigation) would be subject to the Division's approval of an amendment to the proposed Regular 112 Permit. (2) The applicant and land owner retained a wetland consultant, O&G Environmental Services, to obtain a jurisdictional delineation of the site. In the process, the consultant, the land owner, and the applicant met with representatives from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the field multiple times. Applicant's Wnse to Second Adequacy Letter Grand River Park Project, DRMS File M-2006-046 January 2, 2007 Page 9 The Corps issued a jurisdictional delineation (see attached documentation) on September 14, 2006, subsequent to the applicant's last submittal to the Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety. There may be some jurisdictional and non -jurisdictional wetlands on the subject property whose exact boundaries have not yet been delineated with the concurrence of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps). One such example is the southwest corner of the site, which, as described above, is the subject of uncertain wetland hydrology. Another example is the potential for wetland pockets of non -jurisdictional size or character along irrigation ditches (ditches are left practically undisturbed under the proposed mining and reclamation plans). (3) Based on preliminary review of the current plans, the Corps informally concurred with the applicant that the proposed avoidance strategy is sufficient to ensure that no Corps permit will be needed for the proposed activities. The Corps has thus far not required the applicant to submit for formal review or written concurrence with the mining and reclamation plans. The applicant will strictly observe all legal requirements under the authority of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In sum, the applicant confirms the Division's three assertions, with some clarifications. [20, continued] In addition, the Division requests that the applicant provide a written response from the Corps on their evaluation of the applicant's proposed mapping and wetland delineation and whether a Corps permit will or will not be required. Finally, the Division requests that the applicant commit to due diligence in contacting the Corps and obtaining any necessary permits from them upon their finding that a Corps permit is needed. In the event that a Corps permit is needed, the applicant will need to incorporate any changes needed to the approved mining and reclamation plan as a result of the Corps permit. Please respond. The applicant agrees with the Division's requirements. The written result of the process by which the Corps reviewed the applicant's mining and reclamation plans is attached to this adequacy response letter. (The record should be clear that the applicant provided preliminary mining and reclamation plans to the Corps for their informal review; it is inferred from the outcome of that review and the Corps' referral response to the Division that the proposed avoidance of jurisdictional wetlands does not trigger Section 404 permitting.) The applicant will continue to exercise due diligence by contacting the Corps with a copy of the proposed Reclamation Permit, when issued. The applicant commits to obtaining further permits as deemed necessary by the Corps and will keep its Reclamation Applicant's nse to Second Adequacy Letter Grand River Park Project, DRMS File M-2006-046 January 2, 2007 Page 10 Permit up to date, subject to amendments and technical revisions as may be required. 21. In accordance with Rule 6.4.7(2)(b), the Division requests that the applicant identify and characterize the aquifer to be mined in or through. Rule 6.4.7(2)(b) is a Regular 112 Reclamation Permit submittal requirement (as opposed to a performance standard under Rule 3, a warranty condition or release requirement under Rule 4, and so forth). The Rule requires this applicant to "identify all known aquifers." Notably, the Division interprets Rule 6.4.7(2)(b) to require, without any specific language or definition in the Rule, detailed qualitative and quantitative "characterization" of the alluvial aquifer of the Colorado (Grand) River floodplain. The general soundness of detailed study is not disputed. In addition, the applicant acknowledges that Rule 3 may require formal studies and monitoring programs related to groundwater impacts. It is nonetheless a concern that the Division's open-ended interpretation of Rule 6.4.7(2)(b) has not provided a reasonably certain standard of law to guide the applicant or guide the regulatory decision -makers in this case. Please note that the Division's October 4, 2006, second adequacy review, expanded Comment 21 from the previous adequacy review without comment on the applicant's initial adequacy response. The applicant's September 6 initial adequacy response letter contained a response to the Division's original request that "the applicant identify and characterize the aquifer to be mined in or through." The applicant submitted a detailed groundwater study and addendum, analyzing the proposed operation and groundwater impacts, as prepared by Martin & Wood Water Consultants, Inc. It was the applicant's belief, stated in the September 6 letter, that "Rule 6.4.7(2)(b) may or may not anticipate such extensive study." Certainly, the applicant believed that it is possible the submitted study of the alluvial aquifer exceeds the requirements of Rule 6.4.7(2)(b), but not that it would be disregarded as addressing the basic requirement to "identify all known aquifers." For the record, the applicant believes that it has previously demonstrated full compliance with the letter and the spirit of the cited Rule. A related general note concerning Comment 21 is that the Construction Materials Rules define an "aquifer" as "a geologic formation, group of geologic formations, or part of a geologic formation containing sufficient saturated permeable material that could yield a sufficient quantity of water that may be extracted and applied to a beneficial use." It is evident from this definition and other provisions of the Construction Materials Rules that groundwater impacts are not only allowed in accordance with state law (e.g., gravel well permitting), the Construction Applicant's nse to Second Adequacy Letter Grand River Park Project, DRMS File M-2006-046 January 2, 2007 Page 11 Materials Rules clearly contemplate that sand and gravel operations, along with other mineral extraction activities, will tend to encounter and utilize groundwater resources. Following the Division's own Rules and standard expectations in the recovery of sand and gravel, it is counterintuitive that a recurring theme under the various subheadings of this Comment is the possibility that the Grand River Park Project may be deemed inadequate without offering extraordinary study and mitigation of groundwater effects that are typical of sand and gravel mines and lawful as proposed. Under the present version of Comment 21, the Division has issued a lengthy list of requirements related to potential groundwater impacts. Each requirement is discussed, in turn, below. [21, continued] Specifically, please provide the following: a. A revised Mine Plan Map of a Water Features Exhibit that shows the location and ownership of any registered wells within 600 linear feet of the proposed excavation areas. If any such wells exist, the applicant should also supply available well completion and well type information, i.e.: irrigation vs. domestic well, well permit number, total well depth, depth to water table, well production, etc. Water features, including the location and ownership of state -registered wells within 600 linear feet of the proposed affected area, have been included on Exhibit C-1 (Pre -Mining Plan Map), since that Exhibit was submitted with the original application. The applicant submitted tabular information concerning registered wells, including well completion and well type information, to the Division as part of the Martin & Wood groundwater study. Well records in prior submittals have been checked for accuracy as part of the applicant's review of Comment 21a and new information, including a new map, is attached with the attached second adequacy response letter from Martin & Wood. b. The applicant has stated on page 17 of the application that average groundwater elevation is 5 feet below ground surface across the site. Please provide a discussion of the depth to groundwater below existing wetland resources as well as woody riparian vegetation (cottonwoods, willows) and the seasonal variation in groundwater levels beneath those resources. Further, please provide a discussion of the hydraulic gradient and direction of groundwater flow for the alluvial aquifer to be mined through. Applicant's Wnse to Second Adequacy Letter Grand River Park Project, DRMS File M-2006-046 January 2, 2007 Page 12 Please see the response to Comment 21b in the attached report prepared by Martin & Wood Water Consultants. It appears that previous exploratory and monitoring work may have provided an estimate for the relative maximum depth of the groundwater surface across the site. The groundwater surface appears to vary between zero and five feet depending on time and location of measurement. Based on limited information available to date, it is possible that seasonal variation accounts for the range of groundwater depths observed on the site; it is also possible that the observed range of depths to the groundwater surface is the result of local variations in topography and flow within the property boundary, or climate and other factors producing variable groundwater conditions regionally. Wetland plants appear to thrive on the site in areas that are perennially mucky, very likely with little to no separation between the wetland root zone and the groundwater surface. While the groundwater table is exceptionally shallow and even emergent in some parts of the site, field reconnaissance also shows that woody plants on the site are rooted in firmer soil, moist but not perpetually inundated. It is the applicant's conjecture that desirable woody plants have generally succeeded on the site where the groundwater table is distinct from the land surface (e.g., an average of 2 feet or greater beneath the ground surface, providing a stable growth medium) or where soils are, at a minimum, subject to seasonal cycles of relative wet and dry. However, the number of riparian cottonwoods and willows on the subject property is so limited, the value of any detailed study of their relationship to groundwater is also very limited. As the consulting biologist, Steve Dahmer of Environmental Solutions, wrote (in the Wildlife and Habitat Assessment report attached for your reference), "Fremont cottonwoods are notably scarce, even along the river, with only a handful of mid- sized trees present. Other segments of the river corridor, both above and below the Property, have extensive stands of cottonwoods, comprised of many age - classes. ... There is a small contingent of Hawthorn, Coyote willow, Planeleaf willow, Wood's rose and Skunkbush also scattered throughout the property, though Russian olives are rapidly excluding those more desirable species." While intensive study of groundwater as a sustaining factor for riparian woody plants may be justified where this type of vegetation is of significant size and ecological value, self -regenerating, and uniquely reliant on a stable groundwater condition for growth, none of those conditions compels such study at the subject site. Desirable plants are scattered and do not form significant stands, are being out -competed by invasive, noxious woody plants, and are generally located in the proximity of surface water sources (e.g., the floodway of the river, irrigation ditches), which may provide a significant amount of soil moisture to promote plant growth. Applicant's nse to Second Adequacy Letter Grand River Park Project, DRMS File M-2006-046 January 2, 2007 Page 13 The applicant submits that groundwater observations and modeling are consistent with plans to manage groundwater associated with hydrophilic vegetation by employing recharge facilities, as detailed in response to Comments below. Because water is relatively abundant in the alluvial valley floor of the Colorado (Grand) River, there is realistically no mechanism — given stipulated adherence to the rules and regulations of the State Engineer's Office and the Division of Water Resources — for the site to disturb the regional hydrologic balance. Localized effects on groundwater -dependant resources may be addressed by delivering pumped water or consumable rights in the adjacent ditches to the affected resource. Again, special protection under the authority of the State Engineer's Office and the Division of Water Resources applies to certain resources (e.g., wells). To the extent that wetlands and riparian woody plants are resources of concern, these plant types are associated with a shallow groundwater hydrology that may be readily augmented through the use of various recharge strategies in the immediate vicinity of affected vegetation. c. The applicant has shown on Exhibits C-1 & C-2 the locations of three (3) monitoring wells or piezometers for collection of static water level measurements. Please describe the nature and extent of measurements already collected. (As previously stated, it is the Division's practice to require construction material operators to collect at least 5 quarters of baseline groundwater measurements prior to de -watering operations to accurately determine an undisturbed, baseline groundwater profile for the area(s) to be affected.) Further, the Division requests that the applicant add at least two (2) more piezometers to provide an up -gradient and a down -gradient monitoring location. Specifically, the applicant should consider locating an up -gradient monitoring location in the southwest corner of the permit area and down -gradient monitoring location near the cottonwood dominated riparian area in the northeast portion of the permit area. Please respond. Please see the response to Comment 21c in the attached report prepared by Martin & Wood Water Consultants. Based on this expert opinion, it is the applicant's understanding that existing monitoring facilities will be sufficient to establish a baseline groundwater profile and support on-going monitoring activities during mining and reclamation. The applicant commits to collecting at least 5 quarters of baseline groundwater measurements prior to the commencement of de -watering operations on the site. d. The groundwater model and assessment prepared by Martin & Wood Consultants is based on the assumption that mining and reclamation will Applicant's nse to Second Adequacy Letter Grand River Park Project, DRMS File M-2006-046 January 2, 2007 Page 14 be completed in Cell 1 before moving on the Cell 2, and completion of mining and reclamation in Cell 2 prior to de -watering and mining in Cell 3, and so on. Typically, operators of similar sites begin de -watering of Cell 2 prior to completing reclamation of Cell 1, i.e.: begin de -watering in the next cell to be mined prior to completing all backfill and re -grading, topsoil replacement, and pond filling requirements in the previous cell being reclaimed. As a result, the Division requests that the applicant commit to completing all reclamation measures in the preceding cell prior to initiation of de -watering activities in the following cell. As an option, the applicant may revise the existing groundwater model and assessment based on the maximum pit de -watering disturbance expected at any one time throughout the life of the operation, or the applicant may provide a comprehensive groundwater monitoring plan which verifies that all potential adverse groundwater impacts are being monitored and mitigated where necessary. The Comprehensive Groundwater Monitoring Plan will need to include the following components.' 1. Map showing the location of all monitoring locations; 2. Frequency of monitoring water level measurements (Division recommends monthly measurements during mining); 3. Specific "trigger points" to determine when mitigation measures will be implemented*; 4. Reporting requirements of water level measurements collected throughout the year & data summary; 5. Reporting requirements to the Division in the event a "trigger point" elevation is experienced during monitoring; 6. Specific mitigation measures that the operator will implement if trigger point are reached and; 7. Duration of monitoring (should be at least throughout the mining phase of the operation). * The Division recommends that the "trigger point" be determined based on the maximum groundwater fluctuation (and elevation) expected throughout a normal year. However, the applicant should give special consideration to the groundwater fluctuations (and elevations) expected in the most sensitive areas that are likely to be impacted such as wetlands, willows, cottonwoods, etc to determine a "trigger" that will adequately protect these resources. The applicant concurs with the Division's observation regarding the typical practice of beginning to de -water a subsequent mining cell before turning off pumps in the preceding cell. Both mining and reclamation are most efficiently undertaken in dry mining cells. This underscores the special attention and very conservative approach that is being requested relative to groundwater effects and the hydrologic setting at the Grand River Park Project. Applicant's nse to Second Adequacy Letter Grand River Park Project, DRMS File M-2006-046 January 2, 2007 Page 15 Based on the applicant representative's October 19 meeting with Carl Mount of the Division, we understand that the intent of the Division's request above is that no more than one mining cell should be subject to de -watering at any given time. The applicant agrees with this approach and hereby commits to de -watering no more than one mining cell at a time. As a technical clarification, the applicant anticipates that it will be possible to recover any dry surface deposits and conduct limited wet mining using excavators in, for example, Cell 2 while de -watering to facilitate final reclamation (of slopes to be submerged beneath the normal water line) is on-going in Cell 1. To protect groundwater, it is not necessary to literally cease all operations in one cell before proceeding to the next. Based on the language of Comment 21d, the applicant's commitment to sequenced de -watering is sufficient to allow the applicant to rely on groundwater modeling as the primary means of accounting for likely groundwater effects under the proposed Reclamation Permit. However, in consultation with Martin & Wood Water Consultants and based on the above guidance provided by the DRMS, the applicant has developed the attached Groundwater Monitoring Plan as an additional layer of assurance that groundwater impacts will be appropriately contained and managed. e. The Martin & Wood Consultants groundwater model predicts significant, adverse hydrologic impacts to a number of resources (wells, wetlands, riparian vegetation, ditches) most of which are dependant upon groundwater. Please clarify the time of year that the model predictions account for (spring, summer, fall, winter), the maximum pumping rates that will be needed for each cell or phase of mining, the length of time each cell or phase will be in a de -watered state, and specific mitigation measures that the applicant will commit to for each cell or phase of mining to minimize the potential impacts. Please respond. While the Division interprets the Martin & Wood groundwater model to predict significant, adverse hydrologic impacts to wells, wetlands, riparian vegetation, and ditches, it is more accurate to summarize that the model showed groundwater surface drawdown potential, expressed in drawdown contours as well as tabular drawdown values for specific wells, to occur in the vicinity of de- watering operations. That the modeled drawdown potential "predicts significant, adverse hydrologic impacts to a number of resources" is a sweeping conclusion presented by the Division, not to be found anywhere in the groundwater modeling reports. Applicant's Wnse to Second Adequacy Letter Grand River Park Project, DRMS File M-2006-046 January 2, 2007 Page 16 In relevant part, the Martin & Wood modeling report notes that, [T]he predicted drawdown contours and water table elevations reflect the dewatering effects of the gravel pits alone and not the actual head contours at any given point. Pumping of the nearby wells, as well as variations in climate (dry or wet), and changes in river flow and stage conditions will also affect water table levels in the area... The model, as constructed, is classified as a "difference" model reflecting only the impacts to the system resulting from the dewatered pits. This is an accepted methodology for such determinations, especially, and as is the case in this study, where limited or no data are available on other stresses known to be affecting the system. The predictive aspect of the groundwater model is clouded by the complexity of the system, in which the effect of the gravel pit alone must be considered relative to a host of other dynamic variables. While it is reasonable to consider drawdown potential as a contingency for planning purposes, the results of the Martin & Wood model should not be taken to predict any specific result under actual environmental conditions. The same report goes on to note, regarding wells, that, [T]he relatively small amounts of predicted drawdown due to dewatering should not prevent the majority of the deeper wells from continuing to pump as in the past, though pumping costs may increase slightly. For those wells incurring greater levels of drawdown, especially those reported to be shallower, there may be significant impacts on their ability to continue to pump as in the past. This reference regarding wells is the only conclusion in the modeling report that could be taken to represent a significant, adverse impact to a specific resource. There is some historical uncertainty regarding the accuracy of well registration records (e.g., reported shallow wells may in fact be deeper or may have been improved since the well record was created), but, above and beyond record- keeping matters, the report notes that there "may" be significant impacts, which is again something less than a prediction and not necessarily "adverse" in the sense of injury to protected rights. For example, if a well owner has historically pumped at yields higher that the well's decreed right, does it constitute an adverse impact if the well owner must share some of the aquifer's productivity with reduced pumping rates that still yield the decreed amount? Well viability will be affected not only by drawdown potential but by age and efficiency of pump equipment, deterioration of well casings, etc, which possibility must be addressed by appropriate investigation of any alleged mining impacts. Applicant's Wnse to Second Adequacy Letter Grand River Park Project, DRMS File M-2006-046 January 2, 2007 Page 17 To address the specific contingency of groundwater drawdown potential affecting well viability, the applicant reiterates its commitment to conduct groundwater monitoring as specified by the Plan referenced under Comment 21d. Key trigger points and mitigation measures are specifically directed at sensitive wells, as identified in the Martin & Wood reports. Ditches, specifically the Rising Sun and Last Chance Ditches adjacent to the proposed mining operation, are conveyances for already -appropriated, consumable water rights. As such, the water transported in irrigation ditches is typically regarded as a commodity in transport and not a hydrologic resource. The Division is, for example, no doubt aware of long-standing statutory and judicial authority in the state that accommodates and encourages ditch owners to improve the efficiency of their conveyances, fix leaks, and profit from reduction in transport losses. By this reasoning, the applicant assumes that the alleged "significant, adverse impacts" to ditches cited by the Division are not related to hydrologic balance but rather must be presumed injuries to property rights associated with water loss. In this light, it must be noted that the Martin & Wood groundwater model did not include ditch waters in its "difference" calculation. While mining -related groundwater drawdown potential may appear to radically affect ditches, these ditches in fact are already effectively elevated above the existing groundwater table and already must supply water to saturate their banks, where the banks are not already impermeable due to siltation. No specific impact to ditches - significant, adverse, or otherwise - is identified by the groundwater modeling report. In any event, the property rights contained in ditch waters are subject to regulatory protection by the State Engineer's Office and the Division of Water Resources, as well as rights of action in the courts should injury occur. Please note that the land owner, with accommodation for use by the applicant/operator, holds substantial interests in the Last Chance Ditch, closest to mining. As further noted in the attached Martin & Wood adequacy response letter, recharge facilities will tend to provide a hydraulic break in the vicinity of the Last Chance Ditch. Other resources are also protected, through all phases of mining, by the Groundwater Monitoring Plan (see Comment 21d) and the Water Management Plan (see Comment 21f, below). The applicant has also obtained a Watershed Permit from the City of Rifle, and will obtain all other appropriate permits. However, it bears repeating that the groundwater model renders no predictions regarding the significance or adversity presented by drawdown potential respecting any "resource" other than a few registered wells. While it is plain that natural resources, such as wetlands and riparian vegetation, may be used as indicators of the hydrologic balance, there is no standard in the Construction Materials Act or the Rules that specifies the extent to which these natural resources must, for their own sake, be shielded from any potential groundwater impact. Rather, when an "operation is expected to directly affect Applicant's Wnse to Second Adequacy Letter Grand River Park Project, DRMS File M-2006-046 January 2, 2007 Page 18 surface or groundwater systems," Rule 6.4.7(2) requires the applicant to provide information that may be used to assess the presence of and impact to surface water "structures" (subparagraph (a)), aquifers (subparagraph (b)), and water quality standards (subparagraph (c)). Similarly, Rule 3 establishes performance standards related to specific quantitative and qualitative aspects of the hydrologic system (e.g., conveyances, aquifers, potential transport of pollutants), but impacts to wetlands and riparian vegetation are not addressed. In sum, the Martin & Wood report does not identify any particular "significant, adverse impacts" to natural resources, and the Division provides no citation for a standard by which the operator may determine whether an assumed impact to wetlands or riparian woody plants will be judged to be "minimized." While the applicant notes for the record the lack of regulatory guidance concerning the need for, or performance criteria for, wetland and riparian mitigation measures, best practices that will preserve and enhance vegetative values on the site are integral to the applicant's mining and reclamation plans. A 200 -foot buffer between the affected area and the northeastern boundary of the property attenuates the effect of land disturbance and de -watering on the Colorado River riparian zone. The proposed mining plan also calls for the avoidance of wetlands, and wetland features are planned as an integral component of the proposed reclamation plan. For further reference, during mining all wetland areas will be equipped with water recharge capabilities, including exfiltration trenches, level spreaders, and pumps as necessary. Finally, the elimination and control of weeds is a critical step in the implementation of a reclamation plan that will preserve significant vegetative values on the subject site. Please see the attached adequacy response letter prepared by Martin & Wood Water Consultants for further detail regarding the Division's inquiry in Comment 21e. f. The Martin & Wood Consultants ground -water model and assessment predicts a number of significant, adverse hydrologic impacts to water and vegetative resources in the immediate and surrounding areas based on the proposed de -watering operations. The authors suggest installation of a slurry wall prior to de -watering and excavation as a method to eliminate and/or minimize the various predicted impacts. What is not clearly defined is the maximum pumping rate required specifically for each cell or phase to maintain a de -watered mining condition; and the allocation of where and how pit de -watering flows will be returned back to the Colorado River in such a way so as to minimize potential adverse impacts to ground -water wells, irrigation ditches, wetlands, riparian vegetation, and any other resources dependant on surface or ground -water resources. In response, please confirm whether a slurry wall will or will not be installed prior to • Applicant's nse to Second Adequacy Letter Grand River Project, DRMS File M-2006-046 January 2, 2007 Page 19 excavation and de -watering activities. If a slurry wall will not be installed, the Division requests that the applicant provide a comprehensive "Water Management Plan" and schematic which describes how pit inflows and pit outlaws from de -watering operations will be managed during each phase of the operations, i.e.: Phases la, 1b, 2, 3a, & 3b. The Water Management Plan must include a schematic diagram for each phase of operation showing how water inflows and outflows will be managed and routed so as to minimize impacts to water dependent sources. A slurry wall will not be installed at the site, as this feature would not be economical to install or to maintain in the intended post -mining use, nor would it resolve groundwater issues without generating potentially problematic conditions itself. Please see the attached reports and plans by Martin & Wood Water Consultants and R. Mike McDermid, P.E., for additional response to this question. g. The application references two (2) irrigation ditches that cross through the proposed permit boundary. Please provide a discussion of the physical condition of the portions of the Rising Sun Ditch and Last Chance Ditch that pass through the proposed permit area and the potential for them to be adversely affected by pit dewatering operations. For example, are the ditches lined or unlined? What type of leakage rates do they exhibit? What times of year are they typically in use? Do either of the ditches have a direct hydrologic connection with the shallow groundwater surface in the area? What is the potential for an adverse impact to either ditch due to de -watering? Please respond. The physical condition of the Rising Sun Ditch and the Last Chance Ditch is, in both cases, typical of smaller irrigation projects. The attached adequacy response letter from Martin & Wood Water Consultants discusses, in detail, the physical condition of the ditches and considerations that minimize risks to water rights. Furthermore, in response to Comment 21e, above, the applicant provides a detailed discussion of the potential for adverse effects to irrigation ditches that cross through the subject property. The applicant notes that excavation is setback at least 25 feet from the ditch, with only vehicular access (along existing driveway alignments) actually encroaching on the ditch corridors. Mining operations are not anticipated to physically alter the condition of the ditches and will not undermine the stability of the ditch channels; the attached stability report by Lyman Henn, Inc., finds that mining slopes will be safe for an adjacent ditch if excavation activities adhere to specific engineering criteria, including mining to a 2:1 slope from a 25 -foot no -mining setback. • Applicant's *nse to Second Adequacy Letter Grand River Park Project, DRMS File M-2006-046 January 2, 2007 Page 20 Analysis of drawdown potential and seepage less shows that such losses are occurring in the existing condition, and the presence or absence of groundwater in the vicinity of the channel does not cause any significant degree of variation in the inherent leakiness of the channel. Even if localized depression of the water table did exhibit a significant effect on ditch seepage, and even if that effect was adverse, the land owner's portfolio and the general market for water rights available to the operator, including the land owner's portfolio, provide a straightforward means to absorb or redress any injury to ditch rights that may be incidental to the proposed operation. The proposed mining and reclamation plans include specific measures to ensure that significant, adverse impacts to ditches will not be an issue under the M- 2006-046 permit. 24. Review of the Pre -Mining and Mining Plan Maps indicates that most of the proposed mining operation will take place within the 100 -year floodplain of the Colorado River. In order to minimize the potential for flood related impacts, i.e.: a significant flood event capturing the pit and causing off site damage, the applicant has proposed monitoring the forecast flood stage, turning off de- watering pumps in anticipation of the flood stage, installing an armored (8 -inch or larger riprap) spillway in each mined cell, and installing a spillway between the clarification basin and the production area of Cell 1. In order to approve these measures, the Division requests that the applicant provide the following information: a. Plan view and cross sectional diagrams for each spillway to be installed*; b. discussion of the flow capacity and maximum permissible velocity for each design spillway; c. revised Mine Plan & Reclamation Plan Maps to show the location of all five (5) spillways; d. discussion of when (during the mining sequence) that each spillway will be installed; e. characterization of the soil types on the site (sand, silt, loam, sandy loam, etc) for all exposed surfaces; f. characterization of the 25 -year and 100 -year peak flow velocities & flow volumes expected in the main channel of the Colorado River and surrounding excavation areas and; g. cross-sectional schematic depicting the elevations of the invert and top of right/left banks for the Colorado, 200' setback zone, 4 excavation cells, base flood elevation for the 25 -year flood, base flood elevation for the 100 - year flood, significant wetland features, and significant riparian features (cottonwoods, willows, etc.). Applicant's nse to Second Adequacy Letter Grand River Park Project, DRMS File M-2006-046 January 2, 2007 Page 21 * rip rapped spillways may require a filter fabric or sub -grade (please address). The applicant characterized flood hazards and mitigation strategies in response to the Division's initial adequacy Comment 24. Regarding the Division's concern that there might be "a significant flood event capturing the pit and causing off-site damage," it should again be noted that the River was specifically engineered with a floodway levee in this vicinity, such that topographic analysis demonstrates that 100 -year flood waters would first enter the subject property at a considerable distance from the main channel of the Colorado River. This existing topographic constraint is very significant, as it will cause flood encroachment into pit areas to be limited to flows typical of the flood fringe, relatively low in energy and dispersed. For these and other previously stated reasons, pit capture by the Colorado River is not deemed a significant risk. Mitigation measures for flood and erosion control are discussed in greater detail in the attached engineering response by R. Mike McDermid, P.E. Note also that the applicant's revised approach to water quality no longer requires a Targe surface clarification basin with gravity outlet to the Colorado River; the elimination of a channel connection to the River (e.g., discharge water will now be lifted over the levee by pumps to best protect the levee's integrity) is part of a general strategy that minimizes the erosive potential of flood fringe waters. The Division should also note that the applicant submitted materials to Garfield County for review of a floodplain development permit. Generally, counties have plenary authority to approve development in the flood fringe and require appropriate mitigation for flood control. The County's review is currently pending. 25. Wetland/Riparian Impacts — Please identify the location and extent (acreage) of any wetland resources and/or woody vegetation resources such as cottonwoods or willows that occur between the proposed pit and the main channel of the Colorado River. (This information may be provided on a revised Mining Plan Map). If such features do exist, the Division requests that the applicant identify the surface owner(s) of each feature, quantify the extent (acreage) of each feature, quantify the expected drop in water table beneath each feature as a result of de -watering activities, the expected length of time of water table impact due to pit de -watering operations, specific mitigation measure(s) that will be implemented to maintain the hydrologic conditions supporting each feature, and proposed monitoring measures the applicant will implement to verify that anticipated hydrologic impacts have been minimized. Please address. Initially, in the Division's first adequacy review, Comment 25 noted the presence of cottonwoods and wetlands on the subject site and requested that the applicant • Applicant'sInseto Second Adequacy Letter Grand RiverProject, DRMS File M-2006-046 January 2, 2007 Page 22 "indicate how the cottonwoods and wetlands will be monitored and protected from such impacts." In its first adequacy response, the applicant provided information concerning the anticipated role of cottonwoods and wetland resources in the reclamation plan and identified the appropriate level of protection for these on-site resources. For reasons that are unclear, the Division apparently did not accept the resolution of Comment 25 offered in the applicant's initial adequacy response. The bulk of the Division's new request (articulated in italics above in the present version of Comment 25) is premised on the existence of "wetland resources and/or woody vegetation resources such as cottonwoods or willows that occur between the proposed pit and the main channel of the Colorado River." According to the Division's Comment, further study and mitigation is required if Cottonwoods or wetlands are located in the specified zone, between the proposed pit and the Colorado River. As an initial matter, wetland resources are not present in the zone of concern. Wetlands are located to the interior of the site and are subject to avoidance and other mitigation measures as described in the Water Management Plan. Further information regarding hydraulic barriers, groundwater monitoring, and other mitigation planning is discussed in the attached Martin and Wood adequacy response letter and above in response to Comment 21. Additional clarification of the recent adequacy comment was obtained in the applicant's October 19 meeting with the Division. The Division stated that the regulatory concern referenced in the excerpted language concerning cottonwoods is off-site woody growth, particularly trees that may be valued by neighboring land owners as real estate or chattel property. The Division cited off- site propagation of the cone of depression (in the Martin and Wood groundwater model) as a specific source of concern. The Division also provided the applicant with a copy of an Environmental Management journal article entitled, "Responses of Riparian Cottonwoods to Alluvial Water Table Declines." The applicant shares the Division's concern that the riparian functions and character of the Colorado River corridor are maintained under the proposed mining and reclamation plans. As stated in the applicant's initial response to Comment 25, one of the most important benefits to local vegetation is the control of weedy growth, especially noxious weeds such as the Russian -olive and Tamarisk trees that sprawl across the site (see DRMS Inspection report dated 06/26/2006) along its northeastern boundary. Mining will result in the clearance and suppression of weeds, discouraging the opportunistic growth pattern responsible for choking out native canopy on the subject property. To be clear, very little native woody growth is found on the subject property. It is believed that significant disturbance occurred on the site during the construction Applicant's Wnse to Second Adequacy Letter Grand River Park Project, DRMS File M-2006-046 January 2, 2007 Page 23 of Interstate 70, and that historic clearance of canopy trees was particularly concentrated in the northeastern areas of the subject property, where a considerable amount of borrow material was taken and the floodway levee was constructed. The applicant's revised plans depict a "Cottonwood Dominated Riparian Area" in the northeastern zone of concern, with two stands of trees, one the applicant's property and a larger stand (of less than two acres in size) on the property of the adjacent land owner to the east (Valley Farm, Inc.). The applicant has provided an on-site buffer of nearly 200 feet from its own stand of cottonwoods; in addition to this buffer, the applicant has provided for a mix of native woody vegetation as a component of the revised reclamation plan, which will at least replace any senescent cottonwood trees. The applicant is unaware of specific concerns regarding riparian cottonwoods on the part of Valley Farms, Inc. (e.g., the land owner did not submit comment or objection to the Division during the comment period). Nonetheless, the applicant will assume that those trees have some inherent value as property that is subject to the Division's regulatory protection. In this case, the Division suggests that the groundwater model of mining conditions by Martin & Wood indicates that the applicant must develop a specific mitigation plan to protect those trees from life- threatening potential injury. Please note, however, that it is not anticipated that a sustained drawdown will occur in the six to eight foot range as indicated on the groundwater model. Between the adjacent cottonwood stand and the subject property, there is a side channel of the Colorado River (estimated to be no less than 50 cfs in year-round baseline flow, based on observed summer and fall stream conditions). This type of fine-grained feature was not accounted for in the conservative -but -coarse model generated for planning purposes. Due to the presence of this side channel, a hydraulic break exists that will protect the adjacent cottonwood stand in all but pronounced drought conditions. As a precautionary measure, based on the Division's request, basic monitoring will be applied to both stands of cottonwoods. The Divison's referenced article ("Responses of Riparian Cottonwoods to Alluvial Water Table Declines") concludes that, "Monitoring annual branch growth appears to be the single best indicator of sublethal water stress in Populus. Furthermore, leaf senescence, desiccation, and shedding are an effective way of detecting the onset of severe water stress, and monitoring of live crown volume can be used to predict impending mortality under conditions of prolonged water stress." Plant disease and mortality have many possible causes, but it is intended that a semi-annual or more frequent monitoring program that collects representative data on branch growth and at least one other tree stress indicator (from the above list; for example, tree crown volume) will enable the operator to discern water -related stresses. Should both indicators signal that water table drawdown is a possible cause of stress to off-site native woody vegetation, the operator will, given permission by the adjacent owner to enter on those lands for the purpose of installing mitigation measures, revise the Water Management Plan to reallocate Applicant's Wnse to Second Adequacy Letter Grand River Park Project, DRMS File M-2006-046 January 2, 2007 Page 24 sufficient water to maintain soil moisture in the root zone of affected trees or understory. The on-site stand of cottonwoods may be preserved by any mitigation measures deemed appropriate, otherwise this stand will serve as a control group for comparative purposes when stress is detected in the off-site stand. Should water -related stress persist in the off-site stand of cottonwoods for more than two monitoring periods, the operator will cease dewatering operations to conduct further study and propose any appropriate amendments to the Groundwater Monitoring and Water Management Plans. 29. In response to the Division's initial comment regarding Exhibit S, the applicant provided Revised Exhibit C-2: Mining Plan Map 200 -Foot Setback Scenario to serve as the operative Mining Plan until all structure agreement or engineering analyses can be obtained in order to mine closer than 200 feet from the relevant structures. However, in order for the Division to make a favorable decision on this permit application, the applicant will need to commit to a mine plan that follows either the Maximum Recovery Scenario or the 200 -Foot Setback Scenario. If the applicant chooses to commit to the Maximum Recovery Scenario, either structure agreements from Xcel Energy, Roy McPherson, Antero Resources, CDOT, and the Kancillas, or, failing to reach such agreements, an engineering analysis demonstrating that such structures will not be damaged by activities occurring at the mining operation will need to be submitted to the Division as part of this application. Please respond. Following submittal the initial adequacy response, the applicant took appropriate steps to enable its election of the Maximum Recovery Scenario, which will therefore be the operative proposed mining plan under Exhibit C-2. As noted by the Division, at the time of the September 6 adequacy submittal, negotiation related to structure agreements remained outstanding for Xcel Energy, the Rising Sun Ditch (intermittently represented by Roy McPherson), Antero Resources, CDOT, and the Kancilia family. With this submittal, the applicant is providing executed agreements, in accordance with Rule 6.4.19(a), for Xcel Energy and Antero Resources. Negotiations with the three remaining structure owners have not yielded an agreement. On November 2, 2006, the Kancilia's, through their counsel, Thomas W. Stuver, Esq. of Rifle, Colorado, informed the applicant's representative in writing that they "will not agree to any setback less than 200 feet." Following attempted contact with Roy McPherson as the presumed representative of the Rising Sun Ditch, Mr. McPherson informed the applicant's representative that the Rising Sun Ditch is an unincorporated association with no formal governance structure, and he could not negotiate or execute agreements on behalf of the ditch. CDOT has been contacted several times, but apparently personnel • Applicant's R4f/i e to Second Adequacy Letter Grand River Par foject, DRMS File M-2006-046 January 2, 2007 Page 25 changes have precipitated confusion and delays in the processing of proposed agreements. The applicant will hold open its offer to negotiate with these structure owners, but, relative to these structures, compliance with Rule 6.4.19 will be established, as permitted by Construction Materials Rule 6.4.19(b), with an appropriate engineering evaluation. The engineering evaluation pertaining to all three remaining structures is contained within the attached report from Lyman Henn, Inc., a consulting geotechnical and engineering firm. As noted in the Lyman Henn report's "Site Description" section, "The specific structures addressed by this evaluation are: the 1-70 roadway and embankment; the Rising Sun Ditch; and the residence, with out -structures and local service utility poles, to the south of the site." After a description of methods, data, and analysis, the report provides two alternatives for safely mining within 200 feet of these permanently man-made structures: the operator may either maintain a setback of 60 feet if mining to near -vertical slopes, or maintain a setback of 25 feet if mining to no greater than a 2H:1V side slope. The applicant has reviewed mining plans to confirm that the Exhibit C-2 Maximum Recovery Scenario will not conflict with signed agreements or setback parameters identified by Lyman Henn, Inc. Mining originating with the top of slope setback between 25 and 60 feet from a structure will not exhibit side slopes steeper than 2H:1V. No mining will encroach closer than 25 feet from a permanent man-made structure unless allowed by agreement. As a supplement to other materials directly responsive to the second adequacy review, the "Mitigation and Reclamation Plan, Hang's Ranch Parcel" by Environmental Solutions is also enclosed for the Division's reference. This report describes in some detail the rationale for techniques to be employed in the mining and reclamation process at the subject property. This adequacy response represents an intensive effort by the applicant to identify and address every concern raised by the Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety in its October 4, 2006, adequacy letter. The applicant appreciates the challenges of this site and the Division's accordingly detailed analysis. As is typically the case with recovery of alluvial deposits, surface and groundwater conditions particularly demand special attention. The Grand River Park Project applicant is committed to numerous precautionary measures, monitoring programs, and specific reclamation standards that ensure safe conditions and the preservation of property and environmental values at the site and its surroundings. • Applicant's I.nse to Second Adequacy Letter Grand River Parc Project, DRMS File M-2006-046 January 2, 2007 Page 26 We look forward to working with the Division to facilitate the final resolution of the adequacy review process.

Fax: (303) 526-2624 www.martinandwood.com December 29, 2006 Re: Responses to DRMS Grand River Park Project Project Number 680.1 Pursuant to our recent meetings and discussions, this letter summarizes our responses to date to the questions raised in the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety ("DRMS") Adequacy Review No.2, dated October 4, 2006, for the proposed Grand River Park Project located near Silt in Garfield County, Colorado. As per our discussions, we are responding specifically to the issues raised by DRMS in their item 21 from their October 4 letter. These are issues relating to the ground water at the site and how the dewatering during mining of the cells will impact the local water table, the ditches in the area, the river and local vegetation. We will address in turn each of the item 21 questions to which we are responding. Note that in many cases we are responding to a part or parts of the question proposed. Input from Banks and Gesso or Mr. Mike McDermid may be required to address every component of these questions. 21.a. DRMS requests a map and tabulation of all registered wells within 600 feet of the proposed excavation areas (mine cells). Banks and Gesso has prepared a map presenting the locations of the wells meeting this criterion. Wells within 600 feet of the proposed excavation areas are presented on the Banks and Gesso Exhibit C-1, and are designated on the map by a W inside of a circle. A brief note on the owner and permit number of each well is presented on the Exhibit. We have prepared a summary tabulation, attached, of the available data (such as well completion data and well type) on the wells derived from the well permit files. Note that the locations may have to be field checked in more detail; however, we are assuming for purposes of this response letter that the wells identified by Banks and Gesso and presented on their Exhibit C-1 map are, in fact, in existence at the locations indicated. Mr, Alex Schatz December 29, 2006 Page 2 of 6 21.h. DRMS requests a discussion of the depth to ground water across the site and particularly beneath existing wetlands and woody riparian vegetation areas, along with a discussion of the seasonal variation in the level. In additional DRMS also requests a discussion of the hydraulic gradient across the site and the direction of ground water flow for the alluvial aquifer. Our field trip to the site on December 5, 2006 revealed that there are more monitoring and observation wells existing on the site than we had been led to believe from the indication of only three wells as per maps produced by Banks and Gesso. The existence of these additional monitoring wells has been confined via the map and spreadsheet provided us by Mr. Chris Manera, P.E., of Colorado River Engineering, Inc. This information shows that there are 12 different monitoring points across the site along with a staff gage set at the edge of the river in the northeast comer of the site and just south of the 1-70 highway bridge over the river. The existence of these additional data points should satisfy the Division request for additional monitoring points as per 21.c., below. However, even the three monitor wells referred to by DRMS are sufficient to define the gradient across the site and to develop an adequate picture of the depth to ground water across the site, as it is clear that conditions are relatively consistent over much if not all of the property. Our observations of the site during June and December has confirmed that the depth to water in the vicinity of the existing wetlands areas is essentially zero, with standing water and or saturated conditions noted in these areas. In the areas significant stands of the woody riparian species, located predominantly in the northeastern portion of the property lying south of the highway, it was observed during our field visits that there are small topographic changes in these areas that result in greater depth to ground water, although the magnitudes are still relatively minor being on the order of one to four feet. We do also have May 2006 and October 2006 data that reflect minimal change in the depth to water over the site and, based on this data, it appears that there can be expected very minimal changes in water levels on the site over the course of a year with the possible exception of the spring flood period when the Colorado River is at highest stage. Finally, the hydraulic gradient across the developed on the basis of the May 2006 data is generally to the northwest and reflects the observed higher water table to the south and east across the site. 21.c. DRMS requests additional monitoring wells to be located on the property based on their understanding that only three such wells currently exist. Specific up- and down - gradient locations were suggested by the DRMS; we note that our interpretation of the ground water data indicate a differing gradient than that assumed by DRMS, and as noted in 21.b., above. As recognized by the State, three monitoring wells/piezometers are located on the subject property. Additionally, 12 piezometers were installed on the property in 2006. Ground water level measurements were collected by Colorado River Engineering, Inc., Martin and Wood Water Consultants, Inc. Mr. Alex Schatz December 29, 2006 Page 3 of 6 from all 15 monitoring wells/piezometers during 2006 on the following dates: April 27, May 4, May 11, and May 18, 2006. Martin and Wood personnel made measurements on the wells that were able to be located on December 5, 2006. The attached map presents the locations of the wells based on GPS data collected December 5, 2006 and on location data provided by Colorado River Engineering. As noted in 21.b., above, and based on the data collected in 2006, the ground water gradient and implied flow direction is to the northwest. The installation of two additional piezometers was requested by the DRMS. We feel that monitoring well MW3 (Exhibit C-1) or one of the existing wells located near the southeastern corner of the site could be utilized for up -gradient data. To establish a down -gradient water level measuring point beyond the well referred to as WI on the Colorado River Engineering map, a new well located near the property boundary on the northwestern side of I-70 would have to be installed. Note, however, that it is our opinion that the existing wells provide information sufficient to fully assess the ground water conditions at the site. 21.d. The DRMS requests information on the Comprehensive Ground Water Monitoring Plan. The Comprehensive Ground Water Management and Monitoring Plan is being developed by Banks and Gesso, LLC and Mr. McDermid. This plan, as currently drafted, incorporates trigger points based on a two -foot or greater change (from the seasonal average developed from baseline measurements) in the water level at any of the monitoring wells. If such levels are not consistent with the levels at other wells across the site, indicative of a specific conditions developing at a particular location, the Division will be notified and there will be a review and report provided to DRMS within 30 days. Based on our experience with similar gravel mining operations and mitigation plans, it is our opinion that the proposed trigger points should provide for protection of local wells, ditches, water rights and wetlands/woody riparian areas. 21.e. The DRMS inquires as to the time of year simulated in the MWI model and requests information on the maximum pumping rates planned for each cell and the timing of dewatered activities for each cell. The ground water flow model that was developed was a generalized model that was not intended to reflect any specific time of year with respect to the water table conditions. As noted above, there are no strong data to date indicating any significant seasonal fluctuations, although it is recognized that further long-term data collection may reveal such variations. The modeling work carried out indicates that the pumping rates required to drawdown the water in Pit 1, with balanced recharge to the wetlands area being carried out, would require a pumping rate of approximately 35,000 gallons per minute. Due to the relative location of Pit 1 to the river and the large wetland areas, it is expected that the pumping rates predicted for this mine cell represent the maximum that would be required for any of the pits. The rates for Pit lwould thus be generally higher Martin and Wood Water Consultants, Inc. Mr. Alex Schatz December 29, 2006 Page 4 of 6 than would be required for the other cells, even those that will be located close to the wetlands areas. The close proximity of Pit 1 to the river thus makes it the "worst case" situation by far, and we further note that the relative size of the other pits will also have a bearing on the pumping rates ultimately required. Finally, we point out that the sequencing of the Pit mining and dewatering activities will be such that only one pit at a time will be actively mined and dewatered. The intended program to mitigate the drawdowns that would otherwise occur at the wetlands and other riparian areas will involve recharge via direct discharge and the use of exfiltration trenches to maintain the water level at or near ground surface in these areas and sufficient to prevent drawdown -related impacts. The Comprehensive Ground Water Management and Monitoring Plan being developed by Banks and Gesso, LLC and Mr. McDermid will address these issues in detail. It is recognized that the planned recharging will result in the recycling of much of the water drawn from the pits during mining, but the modeling has indicated that the plan will prevent any significant drawdowns in the wetlands and riparian areas. Further, there is to be discharge to more remote areas of the property via piping or lined trenches that will deliver water to the vicinity of the Last Chance Ditch. This will be designed to prevent any significant lowering of the water table along the axis of the ditch and to prevent injury to water rights associated with the ditch. The use of the recharge trenches and the direct delivery of water, via piping if necessary, to areas that might be impacted by drawdown effects, is the primary preventative measure to mitigate such impacts. These measures will create, in effect, hydraulic barriers that will prevent the propagation of drawdowns around the pits to areas where sensitive wetlands or water rights and wells might be impacted. By maintaining the water levels outside the pit areas being actively mined at historical levels, no damage can occur. 21.f. The DRMS requests information relating to the pumping rates for each mining cell, and impacts to wetland and woody riparian areas on the property resulting from the mining activities. Further, they request information on potential impacts to neighboring wells, ditches, and "other resources dependent on surface or ground -water resources". The DRMS requests confirmation as to slurry wall installation and the Comprehensive Management Plan. The maximum pumping rates necessary to dewater each mining cell have not yet been specifically simulated with the model, but the response to 21.e., above, presents general information along these lines and it is clear form the modeling work that the 35,000 gallons per minute estimated for dewatering of Pit 1 will represent the expected maximums, and based on the subsurface data currently available. The Management Plan developed by Banks and Gesso, LLC and Mr. McDennid will address many of these issues in detail, but as a general statement, the modeling work has clearly shown that dewatering can be achieved while still, with the use of properly placed recharge trenches or direct delivery of water, preventing the propagation of drawdowns to areas where there Martin and Wood Water Consultants, Inc. • • Mr. Alex Schatz December 29, 2006 Page 5 of 6 would be a potential for injurious impacts to water rights or wetlands/riparian areas. We note that the model work carried out also incorporated a sensitivity analysis by which the model was run with a range of values applied for aquifer transmissivity and specific yield. We are confident, based on these results, that the appropriate application of the recharge measures can maintain the water levels adjacent to the mined pit areas. These measures will prevent any propagation of significant mining induced drawdowns that could impact the vegetation, ditches, wells, etc., that the DRMS is concerned about. As to the slurry wall, there is no current plan to install slurry walls. 21.g. The DRMS requests information relating to the condition of and potential for impacts from dewatering on the two existing irrigation ditches that cross the property. The Last Chance Ditch and Rising Sun Ditch both cross through the southern portion of the site. Both ditches are unlined and their leakage rates are unknown. Data collected by Colorado River Engineering in 2006 indicated that the Rising Sun Ditch does contribute to an elevated water table in the area immediately surrounding the ditch to the north of where it crosses the property. State diversion records from 1975 through 2005 indicate that irrigation season flows (April — September) were historically one order of magnitude greater than winter flows, which were in 2005 less than 65 acre-feet per month. The ditch is at a significantly higher elevation than the site, and it is considered unlikely that dewatering activities anywhere on the site would affect the flow of surface water within the ditch. The relative elevations of the ditch and the areas of the site that would be impacted by the dewatering in the mine pits is such that a hydraulic break is in effect. Thus, even if there were a drawdown imposed on the areastraversed by the ditch, the rate of leakage from the ditch would be unaffected. For this reason, even though the Rising Sun Ditch does contribute water to the area of the site immediately to the north of where it crosses the site, this contribution will be unchanged as a result of any mining activities and no injury can thus occur on the basis of water level changes. The Last Chance Ditch appears to be in use year-round. State diversion records from 1975 through 2005 indicate that irrigation season flows (April — October) were historically up to one order of magnitude greater than winter flows which were, on average, less than 200 acre-feet per month. The water table contours generated from the data collected in May and December of 2006 indicate that Last Chance Ditch does not currently appear to have a significant connection to the ground water, suggesting that the bottom of the ditch may be silted up to the extent that little significant leakage or exchange of water between the ground water and the water in the ditch may be occurring. This type of condition is not unusual for a slow moving flow of water and has been observed in many locations in Colorado. In order to replace any water that might be lost from Last Chance Ditch during dewatering activities, the plan proposes to measure the amount of water upstream of the mining and downstream of the mining. The ditch water lost across site during dewatering, if any in excess of the consumptive portion owned or controlled by the Martin and Wood Water Consultants, Inc, • Mr. Alex Schatz December 29, 2006 Page 6 of 6 operator of the mine, will be replaced to the ditch with ground water that is delivered directly to the ditch downstream of mining and dewatering activities.

Based on available information, we concur with the estimate of waters of the United States, as depicted on the September 6, 2006, Hangs Ranch Project Site, 2006 Wetland Delineations map, Figure 4 drawings prepared by 0 & G Environmental Consultants. There are approximately 950 feet of waters of the United States (Colorado River) bordering the north portion of this property. There are also approximately 7.31 acres of wetlands, within the mapped area. We regulate these waters under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act since they are interstate waters of the United States and adjacent wetlands to the Colorado River. We also concur with the estimate of waters of the United States that are artificially irrigated areas. Areas identified as Section 9; Wet 03, Wet 02, Wet 04 and Wet 01 that total approximately 10.03 acres would revert to upland if irrigation ceased. We appreciate the additional monitoring well data supplied by Colorado River Engineering, dated June 5, 2006 (Table 2 of your Addendum) to verify that these areas are solely supported by irrigation. we also understand that the area, identified on Figure 4 of the September 6, 2006 Wetland Delineation Map exists as Potential Wetland/Not Yet Delineated and may be evaluated at a later date. Additionally, property areas north of Interstate Highway 70 and within the highway right-of-way (approximately 98.3 acres) were not delineated and remain un -verified by this office. 09/14/2006 16:45 9702412358 USAGE • PAGE 03/03 This verification is valid for five year from the date of this letter, unless new information warrants revision of the determination before the expiration date.

(Lyman Henn) is pleased to present Banks and Gesso, LLC (Banks and Gesso) with the results of a slope stability evaluation of the proposed excavation slopes at the proposed Grand River Park project, an alluvial deposit located within the floodplain of the Colorado River near Silt, Colorado. The site is proposed as a construction aggregate mine. Lyman Henn performed this evaluation to determine a recommended setback between the proposed gravel mine excavation slopes/highwalls and adjacent structures. The slope stability analyses were performed using: 1) existing information from the site vicinity provided by Banks and Gesso; 2) conservative assumptions for material strengths for the natural soil materials in the proposed cut slopes; 3) expected groundwater conditions; and 4) Lyman Henn's understanding of the proposed mining plan. SITE DESCRIPTION The proposed mining plan consists of five mining areas separated by native soils. The site is located in the southwest quarter of Section 9, Township 6S, Range 92W. The northern boundary of the site abuts Interstate 70 (I-70) and the Colorado River, and the southern boundary abuts County Road 346 and the Rising Sun Ditch. Presently the land is being used as rangeland. Residential structures exist to the south of the permit boundary, and the Last Chance Ditch traverses the southeast corner of the site. Figure 1 shows the project location. The specific structures addressed by this evaluation are: the I-70 roadway and embankment; the Rising Sun Ditch; and the residence, with out -structures and local service utility poles, to the south of the site. Existing grade at the site slopes gradually up from northeast to southwest at an average grade of approximately 0.8 percent from el. 5395 to 5402. Just south of the site, the grade elevation rises abruptly by 20 to 30 ft. SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS A generalized subsurface profile was developed by Lyman Henn and was based upon our review of exploration performed for reserves analysis, historic water wells logs, and design information from the Colorado Department of Transportation I-70 bridge over the Colorado River, which is northeast of the site. The subsurface conditions are assumed to consist of approximate 20 to 25 ft of sand and gravel underlain by shale bedrock. For the purpose of analyses, the depth to bedrock is assumed to be 25 ft, and a 4 -ft weathered bedrock zone is assumed at the top 110 16th Street, Suite 900 -- Denver, CC) 80202-5202 --Tel: 303.534.1 100 -- Fax: 303.539.1777 — www.LymanHenn.com Geotechnical, Tunneling and Construction Services 1 • Banks and Gesso October 6, 2006 Page 2 of the bedrock, with more competent shaley sandstone/claystone beneath. The natural static groundwater is assumed to be approximately 1 ft below existing grade, and during mining Lyman Henn assumes that the piezometric surface will be drawn down by dewatering to the top of the weathered bedrock. ANALYSES Lyman Henn performed an analysis of two proposed excavation configurations: 1) mining to a near -vertical highwall, and 2) mining to a stable slope with a 25 ft setback between the top of excavation slope and adjacent existing structures. Lyman Henn performed the analyses using a computer program (Slope/W, GEO-SLOPE International) based on limit equilibrium theory to compute Factor of Safety (FOS). A target FOS of 1.02 was used in the analyses. In the absence of laboratory data, reasonably conservative values for the subsurface materials were used in the analysis, as tabulated below. The presence of the weathered shale, the target FOS and the strength properties were all chosen with guidance from the Colorado Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety (DRMS) and are typical of DRMS's expectations for sites where specific geotechnical data is not available.

The failure surface which extended the furthest behind the highwall with a FOS approaching 1.02 is shown on Figure 2. The setback between the highwall and this daylight point is approximately 60 ft. According to the analysis, failure surfaces which daylight more than 60 ft behind the slope crest have FOS greater than 1.02. Therefore, for a highwall mined to a near -vertical slope configuration, the minimum required setback from the highwall to a structure is 60 ft. • 1 Banks and Gesso October 6, 2006 Page 3 Analysis 2 The second analysis evaluates the reduced setback which could be realized from mining to a specific slope as an alternative to a vertical highwall. Specifically, the required maximum slope steepness that could be allowed while maintaining a 25 ft setback was evaluated. The slope steepness was varied until the slope which resulted in failure surfaces originating beyond a 25 ft setback having a FOS greater than 1.02 was determined. The slope configuration meeting these criteria is a 211:1V (horizontal:vertical) slope. Therefore, to maintain a 25 ft setback between the top of the excavated slope and the adjacent structures, the mine side slopes should be flatter than 211:1V. Material beneath and behind the 2:1 slope should never be removed, even temporarily. LIMITATIONS These analyses were based on limited available information about the site and were performed for the temporary slope condition. Site-specific investigations would better characterize the engineering parameters of the subsurface materials. Site-specific information may reduce the required setback for a near -vertical highwall, or may indicate that slopes steeper than 2H: 1V can be excavated while maintaining a 25 ft setback. Reclamation slope fill has not been considered in these analyses. CLOSING Lyman Henn appreciates the opportunity to provide engineering services to Banks and Gesso on this project.

The 163 -acre parcel is located in Section 9, Township 6 South, Range 92 West, in unincorporated Garfield County (Figure 1). Mitigation activities are designed to avoid or lessen the impacts of the gravel mining itself during operations. Reclamation efforts are designed to restore vegetative communities and specific habitat parameters after mining is complete. This Plan tiers to the earlier report entitled "Wildlife and Habitat Assessment: Hang's Ranch Parcel" (the "Assessment Report"). Therefore, the reader is referred to that document for a detailed description of existing resources and conditions on the Property. Since the project sponsor has proposed that the Property be donated to the CDOW for use as a public State Wildlife Area once all mining and reclamation activities are completed, the primary goal of this Plan is to create favorable habitat conditions for a variety of existing wildlife species utilizing the Property, and take advantage of new habitat opportunities which will result from the mining activity. To that end, the Plan addresses significant wildlife uses currently occurring on the Property, and provides solutions to improve the condition and functional values of the various habitat types found on the site. The Plan further addresses potential for diversification and creation of habitat types which will be made possible because of the mining activity, including specific recommendations for species of concern, which species were identified in the Assessment Report. 2.0 Expected Resource Impacts The project sponsor has proposed a surface extraction operation to mine sand and gravel resources on the property. Operations would be conducted in phases, with portions of the property being extracted sequentially. It is anticipated that all mining would be completed within a 10 -year period, with reclamation occurring on each segment of the parcel as mining operations conclude. The mitigation measures set forth in this Plan are designed to avoid negative impacts to wildlife and habitat whenever possible and to minimize the effects of mining activities when an impact is unavoidable. Reclamation measures are designed to restore functional capacity to habitats as quickly as possible after mining activities are completed, and develop specific habitat components utilizing new resources created by the mining operations. Expected impacts to each resource, including the key wildlife species identified in the Assessment Report, are listed below along with a brief discussion. Section 3 will address mitigation and reclamation measures specific to each identified resource impact. 3 • • Vegetation The Property contains a significant amount of planted hayfields and pastures, and other upland areas. Irrigation activities and other management inputs appear to have been inconsistent in recent years, and the pastures are in a clearly degraded state, as evidenced by their low productivity and plethora of weedy annual species. Gravel mining will eliminate much of these upland areas and change them to lakes, emergent wetlands and moist -soil uplands. Hydrology The Property is located along the Colorado River corridor, with part of it within the 100 - year floodplain. Groundwater levels range between 2 and 6 feet below the surface over much of the site, with an average of 5 feet. Some areas adjacent to the river are shallowly -inundated, at least during portions of the year. Gravel mining operations will expose this groundwater and create a series of lakes, with water levels likely to occur at or near the level currently indicated by monitoring wells. Soils Soils encountered on the site were comprised of Arvada, Kim and Wann loams as snapped by the NRCS. All of these soils are alkali -affected to varying degrees, which accounts for the prevalence of Inland saltgrass, Alkali sacaton, greasewood and other adapted species. The soils ranged from fine silty loams to cobbly-sandy loams, which varied from well - drained to somewhat -poorly drained, depending on location. Most areas have a very shallow overburden of soils and extensive alluvial deposits of mixed aggregate material. The soils will be stockpiled on-site during mining operations and used in the reclamation process. The proposed project will result in removal of a significant amount of rock and gravel resources below the existing grade, which will result in the creation of four lakes on the Property. Mule Deer and Elk: Since both mule deer and elk make little use of the Property, the gravel pit operations are unlikely to have any detrimental effects to either species, nor will creation of the lakes be likely to enhance habitat for them. Reclamation measures that increase the shrub and tree component of the vegetative community and create additional cover and feed resources (which would be available above snowpack in severe winters) would be of great benefit to mule deer, though less so for elk. Further, the presence of the I-70 corridor and increasing amount of urban development on the valley floor render this area less and less suitable for deer or elk utilization each year. 4 • • Bald Eagle: The absence of tall snags and mature tree species on the Property significantly limit the suitability of this site for Bald eagles. Further, available habitat for key prey species on which eagles depend is also limited on the Property. The mining operation will have negligible impact on bald eagles since the site is largely unsuitable for them in the first place. Great Blue Heron: A healthy population of Great blue herons are present throughout the Colorado River valley. As noted previously, the lack of mature cottonwoods on the Property significantly limits habitat suitability for rookery establishment, but the grassy wetland areas and river shoreline do provide some adequate foraging habitat for the birds. Mining activities may cause some minor displacement of foraging birds during operations, but no significant impact to the population will occur. Sandhill Crane: Sandhill crane use along the Colorado River is sporadic during spring and fall migration, and generally involves small flocks or pairs of birds when it occurs. There is no documented use of the Property by this species, and suitable habitat is currently limited due to the encroachment of Russian olive trees which decrease sight distance and make the birds vulnerable to predation. Since there is little use or attraction to the Property, mining activities will have little, if any impact to Sandhill cranes. 3.0 Mitigation and Reclamation Measures Mitigation and reclamation measures are conducted on two levels. The first are general practices which either minimize temporal impacts or provide direct or indirect benefits to wildlife and the habitat resources on which they depend. The second level includes targeted practices to meet specific habitat requirements for individual species or the food base which supports that species. This Plan contains a number of measures on both levels, as presented below. General Mitigation/Reclamation The first mitigation measure will be the phasing of the project. Rather than disrupting all habitats across the entire site simultaneously, this project will move forward in phases with only one segment of the Property being disturbed at any given time. Reclamation of that area will commence as soon as mining activities have been completed and the project moves on to the next phase. Second, a noxious weed control plan will be in place during the course of the project. Monitoring will be continual and any new infestations of any listed noxious weed species will be treated and eradicated via mechanical or chemical methods. Existing infestations of listed plants will also be treated, most notably the removal of the extensive stands of Russian olives. Third, a 1 00 -foot vegetative buffer will be maintained along the Colorado River, effectively maintaining the riparian area, protecting the few, mature cottonwood trees on 5 • • the Property, and providing a secondary sediment barrier to the river (backing up standard silt fence and other construction BMPs). Targeted Mitigation/Reclamation Vegetation Since the upland sites have an extensive infestation of Russian olive trees, which are on the State noxious weed list and which displace more desirable tree and shrub species, all stands of Russian olives will be eradicated from the site. Reclamation will include planting of native shrub and tree species to benefit a wide variety of wildlife species. Shrubs such as Golden currant, Skunkbush sumac, Fremont cottonwood and Narrowleaf cottonwood will be included in the plantings. A complete reclamation plant list is contained in the Appendix. Wetland areas on the Property contain mainly grass -grasslike and forb vegetation, though some areas of shrub/scrub wetland areas are present, particularly adjacent to the river. A significant amount of the identified wetland areas are agriculturally -induced due to irrigation and seepage from the main lateral ditches on the Property. The creation of the lakes, with designed slopes, irregular shorelines and consistent water table will allow creation of a variety of wetland types, not just the grassy meadows now prevalent on the site. There is opportunity here to create more emergent wetlands and shrub -scrub wetland areas to benefit a greater diversity of wildlife, particularly songbirds. A complete wetland planting list is contained in the Appendix. Fremont cottonwood is an important riparian tree species which is notably scarce on the site. Extensive cattle grazing through the fall and winter months on the Property removed these highly -palatable species during early growth stages, preventing their establishment. The removal of cattle grazing and replanting a large number of seedlings of this species will help stabilize soils and create vertical stratification of habitats important for many wildlife species. Hydrology Since mining activities will expose groundwater, the State Division of Water Resources requires development of a water augmentation plan. Mitigation will involve the development of that plan and meeting all State regulatory requirements with regard to water rights and evaporative losses. Further, the hydrology impacts and regulatory considerations were key elements in designing the number, size, depth and surface area of each lake to minimize hydrology impacts to the extent practicable. Soils Any available soils on the Property will be salvaged and stockpiled on-site during mining operations, and re -used during reclamation activities to provide a suitable seedbed for plantings. Given the amount of area which will be changed to open waters, the thin soils 6 • • salvaged from the area can be deepened when re -distributed on the reclaimed upland areas. Mule Deer and Elk: Since both mule deer and elk make little use of the Property, the gravel pit operations are unlikely to have any detrimental effects to either species, nor will creation of the lakes be likely to enhance habitat for them. Therefore, no mitigation measures are necessary. Reclamation efforts that increase the shrub and tree component of the vegetative community and create additional cover and feed resources which would be available above snowpack in severe winters, would be of great benefit to mule deer, though less so for elk. The reclamation plan calls for planting a variety of shrub species that would benefit both these species, though the likelihood of attracting more use amid continuing development of surrounding parcels is not likely. A detailed plant list is included in the Appendix. Bald Eagle: The absence of tall snags and mature tree species on the Property significantly limit the suitability of this site for Bald eagles. Further, available habitat for key prey species on which eagles depend is also limited on the Property. The mining operation has the potential to create a great deal of habitat for prey species, particularly for fish and waterfowl, which would provide an increased prey base for eagles. Reclamation measures will include planting tall, long-lived tree species such as Fremont and Narrowleaf cottonwoods and establishment of artificial nest structures (platforms atop old telephone poles). These actions will improve suitability of the Property for Bald eagles in the long-term. The construction of the lakes and development of fisheries will improve the site for eagles in relatively short order. Great Blue Heron: A healthy population of Great blue herons are present throughout the valley. As noted previously, the lack of mature cottonwoods on the Property significantly limits habitat suitability for rookery establishment, so planting tall -growing tree species will, in time, improve the site for heron's just as it does for bald eagles. Creating fisheries in the ponds after mining has been completed will provide an excellent source of food for the herons, and the creation of emergent wetlands on the pond fringes will add diversity and a significant food base as well. Sandhill Crane: The creation of lakes on the site opens an opportunity to create island features, which would provide roosting security for this species. This idea is discussed in Section 4. The lake and wetland fringe creation would also enhance the food base as described for Great Blue herons, making the site more attractive as a stopover for migrating cranes. However, since current crane use of the entire lower Colorado River valley is so sporadic, it would not be prudent to expect a single 163 -acre site to create enough of an attraction to increase crane stopover to any appreciable degree. 7 • • 4.0 Developing New Habitats and Opportunities Creation of lakes will add an entirely new habitat dimension to the parcel. First, it will create aquatic habitats now absent from the parcel, and second, it will enhance the "edge effect" as discussed in the Assessment Report. The presence of lakes will provide a variety of new wetland types, and deepwater habitats will allow the creation of fisheries and an entirely new component to the food chain in the area. The size of these lakes will also allow for development of islands, which are unique features for many species due to the isolation and security they provide from many land-based predators. A detailed discussion of these opportunities follows. Lake Design: The gravel pits were designed to meet wildlife and habitat diversity objectives. The gravel extraction will occur down to finished grades to minimize earthmoving necessary to finalize reclamation efforts. Specifically, the lakes were designed to meet the following criteria: 1. Maximize meandering shoreline and "edge effect" 2. Slopes above and below water surface elevation at 3:1 maximum, and less steep whenever possible The purpose of these general criteria is to meet numerous objectives. First, meandering shorelines create edges where two or more habitat types meet. Edges tend to be very attractive to a great many wildlife species, providing food and cover in close proximity. As a result, habitat edges support an enormous diversity of wildlife species, which will increase the value of the Property as a wildlife area and provide a number of recreational opportunities for people. Second, meandering shorelines tend to break up wind and wave action, which helps stabilize the banks. Finally, they are also aesthetically pleasing as compared to typical geometric gravel pits. The slopes are important for a variety of reasons. Slopes steeper than 3:1 tend to slough and erode easily, especially under wave action. They are also difficult to negotiate for any terrestrial animal attempting to climb out of a pond, including humans. Therefore, from a safety standpoint, 3:1 slopes were the maximum allowed. Having 4:1 or even more gentle slopes extending below the water surface also maximizes creation of emergent wetlands, which is an extremely productive habitat type supporting a vast array of food chains and wildlife species. The same principle applies to above -water slopes since a phenomenon known as hydrologic lift causes the soil to act as a sponge and lift water through the soil up to 2 vertical feet above the water surface elevation. This provides saturated soil conditions and allows another tier of wetland plant communities to develop, which are also highly productive habitats. These areas are also extremely important to sediment retention, bank stabilization and water quality enhancement. The more gentle the slope, the larger the zone of this habitat type around a water body. The edge effect is also compounded since you have concentric rings of edge very closely aligned, beginning with open waters, to emergent wetlands, to moist -soil wetlands which transition to upland areas. 8 • • Island Features: Islands are a unique feature in the landscape and people have developed some unique methods of creating them. This project will utilize an artificial floating island, which will support extensive wetland vegetation, provide shade and cover for fish, security for waterfowl and shorebirds, including Great Blue herons and Sandhill cranes, and will not require leaving a substantial amount of gravel resources in the lake to form the base of the island. This will allow a larger mass of water, complete with ample shading, which will help keep water temperatures cool and oxygen levels high, both of which conditions are important to supporting a healthy aquatic ecosystem. An island feature functions on multiple levels to the benefit of a tremendous variety of wildlife species, and creates a three-dimensional edge effect in the water column. It will enhance the complexity of the food chain, increase productivity, and provide benefits to upland, wetland and aquatic species simultaneously. 5.0 Summary Despite the generally degraded condition of most of the upland areas, a diverse array of species currently utilize the Property, including coyote, red fox, cottontail rabbit, and other small mammals. A variety of bird species frequent the area, at least seasonally, including a wide range of songbirds, waterfowl and raptor species. Further, several amphibian species and reptiles can be found on the Property, and the wet areas host a tremendous variety of insects, which are the basis of the food chain for many of the species listed above. Gravel mining activities will temporarily disrupt some of these functions, and in the long- term modify the location of some habitat types. However, the creation of lakes, including deepwater habitats, will add a new dimension to habitat availability and increased functionality. The significant increase in water resource availability, three-dimensional edge effects and creation of a more diverse array of habitat types in close juxtaposition, will increase wildlife diversity on the Property upon completion of the project. Further, turning management of the Property over to the CDOW will assure that the site retains an open -space character and diverse habitat functionality in perpetuity. The Property will also provide increased recreational opportunities complete with public access, which is not currently the case. In sum, the long-term benefits of this project complete with the mitigation and reclamation provisions in this Plan, will far outweigh the temporary impacts of the mining operation itself. 9 APPENDIX A Seed mixture for post -construction reclamation.

The 163 -acre parcel is located in Section 9, Township 6 South, Range 92 West, in unincorporated Garfield County (Figure 1). The following analysis addresses significant wildlife uses currently occurring on the Property, and evaluates the condition and functional values of the various habitat types found on the site. The report further addresses potential short- and long-term effects of the proposed action on the identified wildlife resources, including specific evaluations for species of concern. 2.0 Proposed Action The project sponsor has proposed a surface extraction operation to mine sand and gravel resources on the property. Operations would be conducted in phases, with portions of the property being extracted sequentially. It is anticipated that all mining would be completed within a 10 -year period, with reclamation occurring on each segment of the parcel as mining operations conclude. It is anticipated that a number of mitigation measures would be implemented to create a variety of wildlife habitats upon completion of mining, and a detailed mitigation plan will be prepared as part of the permit approval process. Finally, the project sponsor has proposed that the Property be donated to the CDOW for use as a public State Wildlife Area once all mining and mitigation activities are completed. 3.0 Methods The wildlife assessment presented herein was based on the following: a) A review of the Colorado Natural Heritage Program (CNHP) database for Garfield County. b) A review of current Colorado Division of Wildlife (CDOW) Natural Diversity Information Source (NDIS) species distribution maps. c) A review of Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) soils data. d) August 4, 8 and 9, 2006 field surveys of the Property. e) August 8, 2006 meeting with CDOW District Wildlife Managers, Will Spence and Brian Gray. f) The author's extensive field experience with a variety of wildlife and habitat - related matters in this region. 3 1 • 4.0 Study Area Description Site Description The project area consists of approximately 163 acres of lowland -riparian habitats and agricultural lands along the Colorado River corridor. A significant portion of the Property is irrigated, and there are two major irrigation ditch systems serving other properties which flow through the parcel. The Property has historically been used as a ranch, with a number of fences, corrals, buildings and other farming implements and debris scattered throughout the parcel. There are also natural gas pipelines crossing the eastern and southern ends of the Property. It appears that no maintenance to any of the facilities has occurred for many years, and the fences specifically are in such a state of disrepair as to pose significant hazards to wildlife movement, particularly big game animals. Vegetation The Property consists of a significant amount of planted hayfields and pastures, mainly consisting of alfalfa (Medicago sativa), Orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata), Timothy (Phleum pratense) and Smooth brome (Bromus inernus). Irrigation activities and other management inputs appear to have been inconsistent in recent years, and the pastures are in a clearly degraded state, as evidenced by their low productivity and plethora of weedy annual species. Upland areas are dominated by Basin wildrye (Elymus cinereus), Western wheatgrass (Agropyron smithii), Quackgrass (Elymus repens), Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis), Alkali sacaton (Sporobolus airoides), Greasewood (Sarcobatus vermiculatus), sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) and a variety of weedy species, including Kochia (Kochia scoparia), Whitetop (Cardaria draba), Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense), English plantain (Plantago major), Horseweed (Conyza canadensis) and Prickly lettuce (Lactuca serriola). The upland sites have an extensive infestation of Russian olive trees (Elaeagnus angustifolia), which are on the State noxious weed list and which are rampant throughout the lower Colorado River valley. This species of scrubby tree provides no wildlife value, and is a strong competitor with all of the native tree and shrub species in the valley. Wetland areas on the Property contain mainly grass -grasslike and forb vegetation, though some areas of shrub/scrub wetland areas are present, particularly adjacent to the river. A significant amount of the identified wetland areas are agriculturally -induced due to irrigation and seepage from the main lateral ditches on the Property. The dominant vegetation of the wetland areas consists of Creeping spikerush (Eleocharis macrostachya), Arctic rush (Juncus arcticus), Inland saltgrass (Distichlis spicata), Colorado rush (Juncus confiusus), Hardstem bulrush (Scirpus acutus) and Broad-leaved cattail (Typha latifolia) with some minor occurrence of Wooly sedge (Carex lanuginosa), Beaked sedge (Carex utriculata), Nebraska sedge (Carex nebraskensis) and Small -wing sedge (Carex microptera). 4 • • Fremont cottonwoods (Populus fremontii) are notably scarce, even along the river, with only a handful of mid-sized trees present. Other segments of the river corridor, both above and below the Property, have extensive stands of cottonwoods, comprised of many age -classes. It is speculated that the history of extensive cattle grazing through the fall and winter months on the Property removed these highly -palatable species during early growth stages, preventing their establishment. There is a small contingent of Hawthorn (Crataegus erythropoda), Coyote willow (Salix exigua), Planeleaf willow (Salix planifolia), Wood's rose (Rosa woodsii) and Skunkbush sumac (Rhus trilobata) also scattered through the property, though the Russian olives are rapidly excluding these more desirable species. A list of plant species encountered on the property is provided in Table 1. Hydrology Since the Property is located along the Colorado River corridor, and part of it is within the 100 -year floodplain, it is not surprising to find extensive hydrology very near the ground surface in many locations. Monitoring wells were established at various locations and readings indicate groundwater levels range between 2 and 6 feet below the surface over much of the site, with an average of 5 feet. Some areas adjacent to the river are shallowly -inundated, at least during portions of the year. Despite the relatively shallow water table, much of the hydrology supporting existing wetlands stems from seepage in the two major ditches flowing through the Property, and from the extensive irrigation activities that occur on the Property. Soils Soils encountered on the site were comprised of Arvada, Kim and Wann loams as mapped by the NRCS. All of these soils are alkali -affected to varying degrees, which accounts for the prevalence of Inland saltgrass, Alkali sacaton, greasewood and other adapted species. The soils ranged from fine silty loams to cobbly-sandy loams, which varied from well - drained to somewhat -poorly drained, depending on location. Most areas have a very shallow overburden of soils and extensive alluvial deposits of mixed aggregate material, which makes this site extremely attractive for sand and gravel extraction. 5.0 Significant Wildlife Use of the Property Records searches, interviews with local CDOW officers and the site visits revealed a number of wildlife species known to use the Property. Despite the generally degraded condition of most of the upland areas, a diverse array of species frequent the Property, including coyote, red fox, cottontail rabbit, and other small mammals. A variety of bird species utilize the area, at least seasonally, including a wide range of songbirds, waterfowl and raptor species. Further, several amphibian species and reptiles can be 5 • found on the Property, and the wet areas host a tremendous variety of insects, which are the basis of the food chain for many of the species listed above. Time and space constraints dictate that this analysis will focus on those wildlife species that are of significant ecological, economic, regulatory or political importance. Other species or ecological elements assuredly occur on the Property, but are omitted in this discussion due to one or more of the following: 1) they will not be significantly impacted by the proposed action; 2) they are not specifically regulated by local, state or federal law or code; 3) their life cycle and/or habitat use criterion do not make them reasonable indicators of probable effects to other wildlife species. Five species were selected for analysis because of their regulatory status, sensitivity to human activities, known use of the study area, limited habitat resources in the region and/or their ability to serve as indicators of probable effects to a variety of other wildlife species. Each species is discussed, complete with known -use history, special habitat availability and likelihood of continued future habitat capability for the species. Mule Deer and Elk: These two species are grouped because they are both large ungulate grazers, important to social and economic functions of local communities. Further, both these species serve as "umbrella species," which means that if habitat requirements to meet the needs of these species are present, then we can safely assume that a great many other species will be adequately supported in the area as well (Caro & O'Doherty 1999, Lambeck 1997, Roberge & Angelstam 2004). Mule deer are known to utilize the site sporadically throughout the year. The Property is not considered to be a production area or normal summer range for the species and there are no migration corridors mapped on the site by CDOW. Further, the Property is not listed as a Winter Concentration Area, which areas are defined as locations that harbor 200% higher densities of animals than surrounding areas of defined winter range in the five average winters out of ten. In sum, the Property is not considered a high quality deer habitat, and certainly does not receive significant use by this species. The Property, however, is officially mapped by CDOW as Severe Winter Range for deer, which is defined as the area on which 90% of the animals may occur when annual snowpack is at its maximum and/or when temperatures are at their lowest during the worst two winters out of ten. However, because of the lack of native shrub species and the bulk of the site being cropland or grassy wetland vegetation, there is little forage available for deer, particularly under the severe, deep -snow circumstances which would force them to utilize the area. Further, the presence of the I-70 corridor and increasing amount of urban development on the valley floor render this area less and less suitable for deer utilization each year. Elk are not known to utilize the area regularly, nor in any appreciable numbers, and there are no mapped summer range, production areas, migration corridors, winter concentration areas nor severe winter range mapped on or near the Property. The site is indicated as "normal" winter range by CDOW, but the proximity of I-70, increasing development on the valley floor and lack of security cover render this area fairly unattractive to elk. 6 1 • Bald Eagle: There are no Bald eagle nests known to occur on the parcel, though there is an active nest site approximately 2 miles west of the Property. The scarcity of mature cottonwoods or other tall tree species suitable for eagle nest sites makes this a very unattractive location for nesting. The few, scattered, mid-sized cottonwoods that are present do not provide adequate perches for hunting or roosting along the river. Abundant, mature stands of cottonwoods, Ponderosa pine and Douglas fir exist both upstream and downstream of the Property, and provide far more productive habitat for this species. Given the lack of current seedling establishment of any large tree species in the area, particularly along the river, it would take many years for this parcel to provide a significant amount of the specialized habitat features Bald eagles prefer. The river is currently a critical component to eagle use of the Property, as it provides the only water available to support a Bald eagle's chief sources of food: fish and waterfowl. A significant migratory population of Bald eagles winter along the Colorado River, generally arriving in late fall and remaining along the river corridor until early spring. There are a number of regular winter roost sites well-known along the river corridor from Battlement Mesa all the way to Dotsero, though any mature tree with large, clear branches near the river may be used intermittently. The lack of mature trees of any kind on the Property limits its current value to Bald eagles. Great Blue Heron: Great blue herons are included because they select relatively quiet, undisturbed riparian sites to set up nesting colonies, and they require healthy aquatic ecosystems to provide adequate food resources. As such, they are an excellent indicator of the relative health and viability of many other species in the area. There is a known, active nesting colony (rookery) located approximately 0.7 miles upstream of the Property. The lack of mature cottonwoods on the Property itself precludes it for such a use. However, the floodplain habitats along the river and the abundant grassy wetland areas hosting a healthy amphibian population, along with crayfish and aquatic insects, make those areas attractive feeding locations for herons. No herons were observed on the Property during any of the site visits, though the existing foraging habitat and reasonable proximity to an existing rookery would indicate that it likely receives some use by this species at present. Sandhill Crane: Sandhill cranes are not known to nest in the area. They do, however, occasionally stop over along the Colorado River during spring and fall migration. This use is intermittent, at best, and seldom involves more than a handful of birds. Sandhill cranes prefer broad, open habitats that allow them to see predators at a distance and avoid ambush. They therefore frequent large rivers on sandbars, large, open lakeshores or islands and also large, unobstructed agricultural grain fields. Since most agricultural production in the lower Colorado River valley involves grass and alfalfa production and relatively little grain production, the agricultural fields are not heavily targeted by migrating birds. Rather, the cranes generally search for open islands and sandbars in braided sections of the Colorado River where they can feed on amphibians and crustaceans and rest in relative safety. Some of the floodplain areas with grassy wetlands on the Property could provide stopover habitat for migrating cranes, though the proximity of willow stands and the encroachment of the Russian olive trees has significantly 7 • reduced visibility and make cranes vulnerable to ground-based predators such as coyotes. There are no documented reports of cranes using the Property. 6.0 Potential Effects of the Proposed Project The proposed project will result in removal of a significant amount of rock and gravel resources below the existing grade, which will result in the creation of four separate lakes on the Property. Because existing jurisdictional wetlands will be completely avoided during construction, the presence of these wetland areas influenced the final design, location, size and number of ponds to be created. As part of the mitigation measures, pond depth, shoreline slopes and layout as well as submerged slopes will all be designed to establish a variety of habitat types to meet requirements of a diverse array of wildlife species. This will include creation of fisheries, including deepwater habitats, as well as perennial wetland vegetation communities, both emergent and wet -meadow types. It is anticipated that mitigation will include planting of a broad selection of wetland and upland species to maximize the productivity and diversity of habitats on the Property. A comprehensive mitigation plan will be developed as part of the permitting process. Creation of the lakes will result in increased diversity by adding deep water habitat types, fisheries which currently do not exist, and a great deal of "edge", which is how biologists define the convergence of two or more habitat types. Edges tend to be very attractive to a great many wildlife species, providing food and cover in close proximity. As a result, habitat edges support an enormous diversity of wildlife species, which will increase the value of the Property as a wildlife area and provide a number of recreational opportunities for people. Finally, there will be a 100 -foot buffer along the river itself, which will protect the few existing cottonwoods on the site as well as the riparian -wetlands along the banks. Potential effects and opportunities posed by the project for the key species identified in Section 5 are discussed below. Mule Deer and Elk: Since both mule deer and elk make little use of the Property, the gravel pit operations are unlikely to have any detrimental effects to either species, nor will creation of the lakes be likely to enhance habitat for them. Mitigation measures that increase the shrub and tree component of the vegetative community and create additional cover and feed resources (which would be available above snowpack in severe winters) would be of great benefit to mule deer, though less so for elk. Bald Eagle: The absence of tall snags and mature tree species on the Property significantly limit the suitability of this site for Bald eagles. Further, available habitat for key prey species on which eagles depend is also limited on the Property. The mining operation has the potential to create a great deal of habitat for prey species, particularly for fish and waterfowl, which would provide an increased prey base for eagles. Further, mitigation measures such as tree planting or establishment of artificial nest structures could also improve suitability of the Property for Bald eagles. Such measures could provide a significant benefit relatively quickly, especially for the migratory population of Bald eagles that winter along the Colorado River. 8 • • Great Blue Heron: A healthy population of Great blue herons are present throughout the valley. As noted previously, the lack of mature cottonwoods on the Property significantly limits habitat suitability for rookery establishment, but the grassy wetland areas and river shoreline do provide some adequate foraging habitat for the birds. Creating fisheries in the ponds after mining has been completed could provide an excellent source of food for the herons, and the creation of emergent wetlands on the pond fringes will add diversity and a significant food base as well. Planting of cottonwoods on the reclaimed site will eventually create suitable habitat for a rookery. Turning over the Property to the CDOW for use as a State Wildlife Area will also ensure the long-term preservation of these habitats for herons and the variety of aquatic species they feed on. Sandhill Crane: Sandhill crane use along the Colorado River is sporadic during spring and fall migration, and generally involves small flocks or pairs of birds when it occurs. There is no documented use of the Property by this species, and suitable habitat is currently limited due to the encroachment of Russian olive trees which decrease sight distance and make the birds vulnerable to predation. The creation of lakes on the site opens an opportunity to create island features, which would provide roosting security for this species. The lake and wetland fringe creation would also enhance the food base as described for Great Blue herons, making the site attractive as a stopover for migrating cranes. However, since current crane use of the entire lower Colorado River valley is so sporadic currently, it would not be prudent to expect a single 163 -acre site to create enough of an attraction to increase crane stopover to any appreciable degree. 9 • • 7.0 Literature Cited Andrews, Robert and Righter, Robert. 1992.

Mike McDermid, P.E.—12-29-06 Response to DMG 2nd Adequacy Review Item 21 f. The comprehensive water management plan for the proposed Grand River Park Project comprises the elements of collecting and disposing of dewatering water discharges. The discharge volumes and locations will vary during the several phases of mining. A schematic illustrating how the system will operate during each phase are attached. Water from the dewatering system will discharge at rates which vary during different phases and be collected in a regulating pond to be constructed near the northeast corner of the site. The pond will cover approximately one acre at the surface and have a capacity of about 700,000 gallons. From the pond, water will be pumped to several locations as described in the following paragraphs. Part of the water will be pumped from the regulating pond through pipes to discharge at locations at the heads of the wetland recharge ditches constructed along the edges of the wetlands. The water discharge will be controlled by valves to provide a sufficient volume to recharge the wetlands. The terrain slopes generally from southeast to northwest to the Interstate 70 Embankment. Excess water from the wetland recharge system will be returned to the Colorado River system. A portion of the water will be pumped to discharge into the Last Chance and the Sunrise Ditches. A system of valves will control the flow rate to the ditches. The water will replace any water the may be lost from the ditches as the result of the dewatering operations. The ditches will also be used to convey the water away from the site and return it to the Colorado River through laterals and wasteways in the ditch systems. The remaining water will be pumped to the Colorado River. The attached schematic shows the proposed system.

Introduction As part of the construction of I-70 completed in 1975, the Colorado Department of Highways constructed a dike along the left bank of the Colorado River. The dike begins at the Eastbound I-70 Bridge abutment and continues southeast and south for 1,900 feet. The dike serves to protect the Grand River Park property from flooding during high flows in the Colorado River. However, as water surface elevations approach the water surface elevation resulting from a 100 -year flood, water will enter the property through a low overflow area at the edge of the flood fringe south of the dike terminus. The Colorado River has a snowmelt dominated flood regime. Snowmelt occurs slowly when compared to rainfall induced flooding and there are generally forecasts available to predict the timing and magnitude of flooding. The operators of facilities in the floodplain have time to make preparations for flooding on their property. The operators of the Grand River Park Project will monitor the flood forecast and turn off the dewatering pumps when flooding is imminent. The excavated pits will fill with ground water to an elevation approximating the pre -mining ground water table elevation. Under existing conditions, the overflow flood waters will cause relatively shallow flooding across much of the property. After the Phase 1B pit is excavated, the overflow flood waters will enter the property and flow into the pit. As the pit will be almost full from influent ground water, the flood water will quickly fill the remaining space in the pit and inundate the surrounding area to pre -mining flood elevations. The overflow flood waters will exit the property in a similar manner as pre -mining conditions, and no change because of mining is expected. Pit Capture Pit capture occurs when the barrier between an excavated pit and an adjacent stream is breached, allowing the majority of stream flow to enter the pit. Breaches are generally caused by high velocity overflow eroding a channel through the barrier back to the main channel of the stream, or the barrier failing due to piping caused by excessive head differential. The stream flow distance between the edge of the Phase 3 pit and the Colorado River main channel is approximately 1,700 feet. Before a channel could be eroded this distance, the Phase 3 Pit would be full of water and the eroded sediment would have filled the south part of the pit, thus creating a flat channel and water surface slope. The reduced velocities would not support further erosion. In addition, the channel would be self armoring. The alluvial material has a large percentage of cobbles and boulders as shown in the levee photos. Higher velocity flows would transport the finer grain size material, leaving an armor layer of cobbles and boulders. The armor layer would prevent further erosion. When high water surface elevations in the river are imminent, the operator plans to cease operations and allow the pits to fill. The water surface in the pits will not be significantly • Adequacy Review No. 2 Page 2 lower than the river water surface; the head differential will not be sufficient to cause piping. Response to Lettered Items a. Further analysis of the potential for damage to external or internal facilities during high recurrence interval flooding through the overflow shows that two spillways are adequate. A plan view and cross section for a typical spillway is attached. The purpose of the spillways is to control the initial discharge flowing into an almost full pit in order to minimize erosion damage to the pit slope. The pit will fill completely in a short period of time, and the water surface in the pit will rise to an elevation above the top of the pit wall, making the spillway unnecessary. b. The spillways between the Phase 1B and 3A pits and the Phase 3A and 3B pits are to be designed for 200 cfs; the maximum velocity is 10 feet per second. c. The Mine Plan and Reclamation Plan Maps have been revised to show the location of the proposed spillways. There are two proposed spillways: one between the Phase 1B and Phase 3A pits and one between the Phase 3A and Phase 3B pits. The two spillways are in general alignment with the overflow floodwater path form east to west. The other pits are not located in the general overflow path. The Phase 1 A pit is located out of the 100 -year floodplain. The north edge of the Phase 2 pit is located on the edge of the flood fringe, however any flood water entering the pit would have no outlet and would fill the pit and become a dead water zone. The Regulating Pond is full under operating conditions, and its volume is too small to warrant a spillway. d. The spillway between the Phase 1B pit and the Phase 3A pit will be constructed at the time that the southeast corner of the 3B pit is excavated. The spillway between the Phase 3A pit and the Phase 3B pit will be constructed at the time that the southeast corner of the Phase 3B Pit is excavated. e. Exhibit C-1: "Pre -Mining Plan Map", provides a table describing the several soil types and a map showing their location. The Colorado River alluvium in which the pits will be excavated consists of gravels and cobbles intermixed with sands and clays. f. The table presents flows in the Colorado River: Colorado River Flows Downstream of the Confluence of Divide Creek Recurrence Interval Flow (cfs) 10 -year 28,300 25 -Year 31,500 50 -year 37,700 100 -year 41,800 500 -year 51,300 G:\Projects1004 Banks And Gesso\037 Silt Floodplain\\Adequacy Review Response 10-16-06.doc 1/2/2007 • Adequacy Review NIP Page 3 g. The 10, 50, 100 and 500 year flow rates are taken from the 1'bMA Flood Information Study for Garfield County, Colorado revised August 2, 2006. The 25 -year flow is interpolated from the 10 -year and the 50 -year values. A schematic cross section beginning at the Colorado River right bank and extending across the property generally in an east -west direction is attached. The section shows the estimated invert elevation and the left and right bank elevations for the Colorado River; the 200 foot setback; the three excavation cells located along the overflow path; the water surface elevations for the 25 -year and 100 -year floods and wetlands. Dewatering Based on the April 13, 2006 Martin and Wood report, dewatering flows would be approximately 35,000 gpm (78.1 cfs). Construction of a trench to convey the dewatering well discharge water to the Clarification Basin is proposed. The trench should be lined to prevent seepage and recycling of pumped water back into the water table. The trench could be approximately 10 feet wide and 3 feet deep. 78.1 cfs is about 156 acre feet per day. Assuming a six hour settling time (although this hasn't been computed), a 39 acre foot Clarification Basin would be required. An example 10 foot deep basin size to contain 39 acre feet would be about 450 feet square in plan view. This basin size may be impractical for this site. Irrigation Ditches and Laterals There are several irrigation ditches and laterals crossing the property. The two maim ditches are the Last Chance Ditch and The Rising Sun Ditch. Laterals from the Last Chance Ditch cross the property and some are conveyed beneath Interstate 70 (I-70) in corrugated steel pipe culverts. There are also several field drainage culverts draining to the north beneath I-70. Two of these are conveyed parallel and adjacent to the 1-70 Right of Way, at least one in a concrete lined ditch, prior to crossing I-70. The attached map shows the location of ditches and laterals and the structures crossing I- 70 based on the 1-70 As -Built Construction Plans. Some of these facilities may be considered structures under the DMG Regulations. If required, it is possible to eliminate seepage and provide a stable structure to protect these through the use of a pipe conveyance section. The culverts to be abandoned as mining progresses should be plugged.

This approximately 210 -acre site is located at the Colorado River within Section 9, Township 6 South, Range 92 West, Latitude 39° 32' 8.11", Longitude 107° 40' 17.8", Garfield County, Colorado. Based on available informaticn, we concur with the estimate of waters of the United States, as depicted on the September 6, 2006, Hangs Ranch Project Site, 2006 Wetland Delineations map, Figure 4 drawings prepared by 0 & G Environmental Consultants. There are approximately 950 feet of waters of the United States (Colorado River) bordering the north portion of this property. There are also approximately 7.31 acres of wetlands, within the mapped area. We regulate these waters under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act since they are interstate waters of the United States and adjacent wetlands to the Colorado River. We also concur with the estimate of waters of the United States that are artificially irrigated areas. Areas identified as Section 9; Wet 03, Wet 02, Wet 04 and Wet 01 that total approximately 10.03 acres would revert to upland if irrigation ceased. We appreciate the additional monitoring well data supplied by Colorado River Engineering, dated June 5, 2006 (Table 2 of your Addendum) to verify that these areas are solely supported by irrigation. We also understand that the area, identified on Figure 4 of the September 6, 2006 Wetland Delineation Map exists as Potential Wetland/Not Yet Delineated and may be evaluated at a later date. Additionally, property areas north of Interstate Highway 70 and within the highway right-of-way (approximately 98.3 acres) were not delineated and remain un -verified by this office. • • This verification is valid for five years from the date of this letter, unless new information warrants revision of the determination before the expiration date. A Notification of Administrative Appeal Options and Process and Request for Appeal form is enclosed. If you wish to appeal this approved jurisdictional determination, please follow the procedures on the form. You should provide a copy of this letter and notice to all other affected parties, including any individual who has an identifiable and substantial legal interest in the property. This determination has been conducted to identify the limits of Corps of Engineers' Clean Water Act jurisdiction for the particular site identified in this request. This determination may not be valid for the wetland conservation provisions of the Food Security Act of 1985. If you or your tenant are USDA program participants, or anticipate participation in USDA programs, you should request a certified wetland determination from the local office of the Natural Resources Conservation Service, prior to starting work.

STE 702 DENVER, COLORADO 80203 Telephone: (303) 825-3995 *(Please direct all correspondence to our Glenwood Springs Office) We are writing on behalf of the City of Rifle, Colorado. You provided us plans and documents related to construction and mitigation of the proposed gravel pits in which you have an ownership interest. As part of the City's review, we have received comments from members of City Council and reclamation experts. The purpose of this letter is to set forth the City's concerns and requests for mitigation measures as part of the reclamation of the proposed gravel mines. We are all aware that these projects, and the explosion of gravel mining in our area generally, are controversial and elicit strong responses from members of our community. Thus, we appreciate the opportunity to comment on your proposed plans and agree it is in our best interest to continue to work together in finalizing the reclamation plans. Our goal is to realize a healthy reclaimed landscape that preserves and fosters animal and plant life so that our community will benefit from a setting that reflects our values and heritage as well as the natural beauty ofthe Grand River Valley. The following are our comments on your plans: 1. Reclamation efforts must return hydrology and ecology in the area to as functional a state as existed prior to the disturbance. Specifically, the type of wetlands present and the diversity of animals and plants inhabiting the area prior to its disturbance must be able to return to the site as soon as possible and in the least impacted manner possible. 2. In order to ensure that the full range of native plants and animals found on the site pre -disturbance return, a biological assessment by a reputable firm should be performed, if this has not occurred already. 3. Restoration techniques are crucial in restoring the proper diversity of animal and plant life. Specifically, plants should be restored by plug rather than seed, for the most part, due to the long dormancies required by many seed types. Broadcast seeding, currently proposed for the sites, 1:\2006\Clients\Rille\I A-197 Leuers,Balcomb-Gravel.wpd • • LI:AVENWORTH & KARP, P.C. Page 2 September 13, 2006 is the least effective method of reclamation with respect to native plant propagation and proliferation. We strongly support plugging as a primary method so that the success of reclamation efforts can be established quickly and results that do not meet expectations fixed. As far as seeding, we support actually injecting seeds into the ground by drill seeding methods rather than ineffective broadcast seeding. We are also concerned that the landscaper will only be responsible to monitor results for a few months after planting. Particularly if seeding is utilized, this will not allow success of the project to be assessed adequately in light of the fact that some seeds take three years to germinate. We are requesting assurances that the developer and/or landscaper will be responsible for revegetation at the sites over an adequate period of time, which will be determined by the replanting techniques used. 4. Adequate consideration must be given to the timing and nature of restoration in terms of budget and scheduling so that the right work occurs at the correct time following the disturbance. A reclamation plan developed by a reputable firm should be in place prior to extraction. It would be helpful to utilize a successful reclamation project in the region as a benchmark, if such a project exists. 5. A successful weed control program must be a major part of the reclamation effort. Any disturbance of the areas will result in a weed influx, so management is crucial. 6. All disturbed soil should be life -handled in order to maintain its living components and health. Live handling involves stock piling the native soil in small piles so that internal microorganisms are not damaged. If handled correctly, the soils will be used to reinoculate the site. 7. Plants utilized in reclamation efforts should come from local sources to avoid introducing genetic pollution or erosion. 8. The reclamation plan must give proper consideration to the reproductive biology and migratory patterns of resident animal and waterfowl populations. The timing of disturbance and reclamation is paramount for nesting species such as blue herons, eagles, etc. 9. River banks should not be excluded from designated "Disturbance Areas" because these areas will be disturbed. Impacts include constant vibration of the ground, pollutants from machinery, adverse impact to wildlife habitat, and disruption of wildlife activity that maintains and promotes ecology by dispersing seeds, conditioning soil, stimulating plant growth, and advancing decay of dead plant matter. Because of this disturbance, we request that the banks be fortified with willow and cottonwood stakes, along with planting of grasses, grass -likes, and native shrubs. 10. We are concerned that the density standards proposed for the projects are too low to produce sustainable reclamation, specifically the call for two thousand willow stakes to be placed on six foot centers. We propose 28 inch centers as a sustainable density. If grading is proper with respect to hydrology, willow and cottonwood plantings can be denser without spending much more money. This can be accomplished by staking trees instead of placing them in five gallon pots. The I:QKWClieMAM le\IA-i9TLenem\BM.m6GmveLvgd LEAVENWORTH & KARP, P.C. Page 3 September 13, 2006 more plant material, the better the soil is stabilized. In turn, the micro -climate is better equipped to establish the "understory" ecology, and the wildlife corridor will flourish. We also recommend augmenting numbers for deciduous shrubs, rhus and alder, as well as eliminating vertical bundles of Coyote Willow. Planting unrooted willow stakes at twelve -inch centers would be a preferable approach. We realize that this recommendation may interfere with the post -mining use of the Property, but please keep it in mind. 11. Round table approaches using a variety of vested parties and interest groups should be used to discuss and review plans so that end results are representative of a diversity of considerations, approaches, and values. Although such collaborative approaches require development interest groups who understand the system better than the average citizen, they should not be unduly representative to control the process. As you can see, we have many concerns about the reclamation of gravel pit, and many of these items are not addressed in the proposed plans to the required detail. Developing comprehensive reclamation plans that ensure a healthy ecosystem is a difficult task and we request that the leg -work of these plans be competed at the application stage. The City of Rifle looks forward to working with you to develop these plans and appreciates the opportunity to comment. Please do not hesitate to contact us to discuss a method and schedule to address the items mentioned in this letter or any questions you may have. Very truly yours, LEAVENWORTH & KARP, P.C. s S.

It is our understanding that our effort is to be directed toward trying to resolve concerns the Town may have with respect to road impacts on city streets occasioned by activities out of the gravel pit. When we originally had discussions with the Town, we had suggested, and I believe reached agreement, that the road impact fees would best be addressed by a per ton royalty to be paid to the Town. I believe our agreement was that the operator would pay $.10 per ton for material mined and removed from the site. This should yield approximately $550,000 that could be paid toward the repair and maintenance of the city streets impacted by the gravel operation. The royalty approach seems to us to be the best way to ensure our impacts are mitigated. The impacts of others such as Stillwater can best be addressed in discussions between the Town and Stillwater. We did not previously discuss the possibility of hauling any material to the Stillwater Subdivision on roads that might be constructed to provide for oil and gas development and avoid using city streets. We are willing to commit to utilizing internal haul roads to the extent acceptable to the developer of the Stillwater project and to the extent such roads are available to us. 0304 Highway 133 • Carbondale, Colorado 81623 • (970) 963-9424 4.

We do not wish to play any role in that litigation. Accordingly, we would pay the above - referenced funds into an agreeable escrow account to be disbursed at the joint direction of the Board of County Commissioners of the County of Garfield and the Board of Trustees of the Town of Silt. We are happy to make ourselves available to you, the Town staff, and other members of the Board of Trustees as necessary to meet to discuss the foregoing issues.

Simpson, P.E. State Engineer The above -referenced submittal requests a special use permit for the Grand River Park Project. As stated in the State Engineer's March 4, 2005 memorandum to county planning directors, this office has no statutory responsibility to review land use actions that do not include the subdivision of land as defined in Section 30-28-101(10)(a), C.R.S. This referral does not appear to qualify as a "subdivision". However, we have performed a cursory review and are providing informal comments. The proposed operation anticipates exposing ground water, and will consume ground water by evaporation, dust control, reclamation, water removed in the mined product and processing. Prior to initiation of these uses of ground water, the applicant will need to obtain a well permit, and an approved water supply plan or decreed plan for augmentation is required before a permit can be issued. A proposed substitute water supply plan has been submitted to our office and is currently under review. Note that this office does not necessarily take the position that the water supply plan is valid. If you or the applicant has any questions concerning this matter, please contact me for assistance.

CIVIL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING AND DESIGN RE: Review of Special Use Permit Application for Silt Sand & Gravel LLC Dear Fred: A review has been performed of the documents for the Special Use Permit application for Silt Sand & Gravel LLC. The package was found to be well organized. The following comments, questions, or concerns were generated: 1. Water hauling is proposed for potable use at the extraction site. Generally speaking, hauling water has not been considered a reliable source. Alternative sources may need to be investigated. 2. Portable toilets are proposed to be used and located out of the floodplain. Since a large amount of the site is expected to be inundated during a large magnitude flood it would be prudent to have acceptable toilet locations predetermined. 3. The existing residence is proposed to be used as an office for the life of the gravel pit. The type of the existing sewer connection is not mentioned. If the current residence is using an ISDS for waste water treatment, the sizing and performance of the system should be verified for the uses expected and also conflict with the floodplain. 4. It is stated in the documentation that various permit applications and approvals are pending or will be obtained; NPDES, Corp of Engineers, Well Permits, etc. Obtaining applicable permits and approvals should be conditions of approval. 5. The Traffic Report for the future condition uses a growth rate that may be too low, when compared with the actual growth rate of the area. Also the report does not include traffic anticipated from adjacent proposed developments. These factors may change the results of the calculated future condition. The future condition ought to be reevaluated in light of the above. 6. The Floodplain Study was complete and determined no impacts to the elevation of the floodway. However it raised one question concerning the south end of the levee: Is the levee and anticipated 2,500 cfs overflow by design? Is there benefit or detriment to this site, the floodway, and downstream properties by extending/raising the levee to contain the floodwaters within the main channel? Feel free to call if you have any questions or if any of the above needs further clarification.

I asked him if there would be any problem seeing anyone of the Commissioners on or before Jan 10, the day of the P&Z hearing regarding the Gravel Pit, and the issuance of permits to mine the 188 acres next to, and contiguous with the Town of Silt. My request was denied and this is the reason for my inquiry. As Mayor of the proposed impacted town, who is not the applicant, but rather the representative of the citizens who have the most to lose and suffer, I hereby once again request audience from the Garfield County Commissioners, to discuss this sensitive issue. My research has not found a conflict of interest, or a violation of statues, ethics, codes, or laws. To be denied audience without a reasonable explanation, by all appearances certainly violates the fundamental premise, and principals of government. did ask Mr. De Ford to convey to you, the commissioners, that you will be met with strong Town opposition to any purported granting of gravel it permits outside the security and control of the Town of Silt. This is true if not only for the sole reason that if the impacts were not controlled, the un -calculated damages that the Town of Silt could endure from any irresponsible, negligent or imprudent acts could very likely be astronomical, If a reasonable request by the Town of Silt for audience with Garfield County is dcnied, unlike years of the past, 1 am afraid that you can expect outcry for justice in a very stalwart fashion. I do sense county wide concern for Silt's well being. Your consideration would be much appreciated. Thank you very much. Sincerely, Dave Moore Mayor of Silt. CC. Town of Silt Trustees and Staff.

Specifically, the County Planner has requested that the current status of the jurisdictional wetland delineation be reflected on plans. Accordingly, 14 copies of the current version of mining and reclamation plans are enclosed for your reference. On these plans, note that, as taken directly from the delineation issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on September 14, 2006, the southwest corner of the site depicts a zone of "Potential Wetlands Not Yet Delineated." The note for this area also stipulates that mining and reclamation will not take place in the southwest corner of the site unless the area is studies further and a jurisdictional determination is made. Please note that the applicant has made an express commitment to obtain necessary Corps concurrence and abide by all appropriate wetland regulations in the state Reclamation Permit; such a commitment is also implicit in the County Special Use Permit application.

We had an inversion in the valley this morning holding all of the smoke from two pile burns right down in the valley. I spoke with Shawn Mello, one of the operations managers for the pit this morning and he indicated that although they did have a Burning Mountain Fire burn permit, they did not have a CDPHE open burning permit as required as he said he was unaware of such requirements. He also told me he is Deputy Chief of Burning Mountain Fire and that he had talked to Brit McLin yesterday and was allowed to keep the fires smoldering all night which is in direct contradiction to burn permit conditions/requirements. Would you please have someone provide contact information for the owners of the pit so that I can forward this information to CDPHE? I thought I had read that this operation is owned in part by an attorney or two.

AIRS No: 777/1373 Case No: 2007-084 Dear Mr. Mello: Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Western Slope Aggregate, Inc. ("Western") owns and operates a portable Cederapids jaw crusher, SN 44616, which at the time of inspection was located at Highway 82, Carbondale, Garfield County, Colorado ("Crusher"). The portable Crusher is subject to the terms and conditions of Permit No. 99PO0131 Final Approval ("Permit No. 99PO0131," issued to Western on October 3, 2000) and the regulations of the Colorado Air Quality Control Commission ("AQCC"). The New Source Performance Standards 000 ("NSPS") are applicable to this source. On May 8, 2007, Ms. Dana Podell, of the Division, conducted an inspection of the Crusher. Based on Ms. Podell's review of the records related to the Crusher, the Division issued a Compliance Advisory to Western on August 9, 2007. The Division held a teleconference with Western on September 12, 2007 to discuss the issues identified in the Compliance Advisory. Based upon Ms. Podell's inspection, a review of records related to the Crusher, and the information provided during the September 12th meeting, the Division has determined the following: A. B. Western exceeded the Crusher's annual production limits in 2006, violating Condition 4 of Permit No. 99PO0131. Western exceeded the Crusher's annual PM and PK() emissions limits in 2006, violating Condition 6 of Permit No. 99PO0131. During her inspection, Ms. Podell discovered that Western was operating a gravel pit at Highway 82, Carbondale, Garfield County, Colorado ("Western Aggregate Gravel Pit"). The Western Aggregate Gravel Pit is subject to AQCC Regulation No. 3. Based on Ms. Podell's inspection and a review of the records related to the Western Aggregate Gravel Pit, the Division issued a Compliance Advisory to Western on August 9, 2007. The Division held a teleconference with Western on September 12, 2007 to discuss the issues identified in the Compliance Advisory. Based upon Ms. Podell's inspection, a review of records related to the Western Aggregate Gravel Pit, and the information provided during the September 12th meeting, the Division has determined the following: C. D. Western failed to submit an Air Pollution Emission Notice prior to constructing the Western Slope Aggregate Gravel Pit, violating AQCC Regulation No. 3, Part A §II.A. Western failed to obtain a valid construction permit from the Division prior to constructing the Western Slope Aggregate Pit, violating AQCC Regulation No. 3, Part B §II.A.1. The Colorado Air Pollution Prevention and Control Act, at § 25-7-122(1)(b), C.R.S., specifies that the penalty for such violations may be up to Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000.00) for each violation. Based upon our penalty policy, we calculated a preliminary penalty for the above listed violations of Two Thousand Nine Hundred and Seventy Five Dollars ($2,975.00). The monetary amount of the Division's settlement offer specified below is derived from a pre -established schedule of penalties, which takes into account, among other factors, the magnitude and severity of the violation, cooperation of the company, as well as the Proposed Settlement Agreement In the Matter of Western Slope Aggregate, Inc. AIRS No: 777/1373 prior history of violations of air quality requirements associated with any of the company's facilities/operations in the State of Colorado (including a company's parent or subsidiary relations, if applicable). Settlement offers are based on the evaluation of the same factors and criteria in all cases. Based upon Western's cooperation, and its efforts to bring its operations into compliance with the regulations and permit conditions identified above, the Division acknowledges that Western has appropriately and adequately addressed all compliance issues identified above. In the interest of settling the matters cited herein, the Division therefore offers the following settlement in accordance with the Division's settlement policy (http://www.cdphe.state.co.us/ap/dovvn/settlemanual.pdf): 1. Payment of a reduced penalty in the sum of Two Thousand Nine Hundred and Seventy Five Dollars ($2,975.00). Payment of the penalty precludes further enforcement by the Division for the above-described violation against Western. The Division retains its authority to take enforcement actions based on any and all violations not specifically described above. 2. Entering into this settlement shall not constitute an admission of violation of the air quality laws, or the alleged facts relating thereto, nor shall any third party infer it to be such an admission in any administrative or judicial proceeding. However, Western agrees not to challenge the factual or legal determinations herein, the Division's authority to bring, or the court's jurisdiction to hear, any action, insofar as it pertains to the matters contained herein, to enforce the terms of this settlement agreement. The described violation will constitute part of Western's compliance history for any purpose for which such history is relevant. This letter constitutes an offer of settlement and is not a demand for payment. Please contact me if you wish to discuss this offer of settlement. We will be glad to consider any information you wish to submit related to the violation.
