RE: Mineral Rights Research and Mailing Address
Dear Glenn:
As required by the Pre-application Conference Summary Form and in the
General Application Materials section of the Garfield County Land Use and
Development Code (Section 4-203(B)), I have enclosed the signed Certification
of Mineral Owner Research (COMOR) that was provided for the Lake Springs
Ranch Preliminary Plan Amendment and Rezoning applications. At the time the
enclosed COMOR was prepared, I reviewed a current title commitment. I also
relied on several mineral research reports that have been prepared in relation to
the Lake Springs Ranch property over the years (attached).
The title commitment shows that mineral rights on the eastern portion of the Lake
Springs Ranch property are owned by the Federal Government (BLM) and the
mineral rights on the remainder of the property are privately owned. We would
point out that the mineral rights citations in the current title commitment, which
was updated on February 28, 2024, have not changed since 2004 when the
original Assessment of Mineral Resource Potential report was prepared by Bio-
Logic Environmental (See Exceptions 9 and 11 of Exhibit D, Biologic Report and
the same exceptions in the current title commitment – Exhibit 4F). Based on
paragraph 2, page 2 and paragraphs 3 and 4 on page 3 of the Bio-Logic
Report, the mineral rights not reserved by the Federal Government have either
not been severed, or the right to extract was never reserved. Therefore, all
privately-held mineral rights have been retained as part of the estate owned by
the Berkeley Family LLLP (Parcel ID: 218733300153).
Given that the Federal Government continues to own mineral rights on the
Subject Property, we have provided the address information for the local BLM
office on the attached COMOR and in the adjacent property/mineral rights
mailing list included in the land use application to which this letter is a supporting
exhibit.

RE: Berkeley Mineral Rights Update / Spring Valley Area / Garfield County, CO
Hello Tim -Pursuant to our conversation, I have completed the two tasks you requested.
1) I updated the title work provided by Land Title Guarantee, bearing an effective date of 9/17/2010. I
found no recorded conveyances from the record owner for any mineral rights. Nor did I find any
recorded leases of mineral rights.
2] I have attached the patent for the subject land, identified by you as Parcel A. As you know, the
patent reserves all "coal and other minerals" to the United States. I researched the Garfield County
Assessor and Clerk and Recorder records for any leases that either entity would track in Sections 33
and 34, Township 6 South, Range 88 West. I found nothing of record.
Based on my research, and unless the current owners have any intentions of surface mining, I would
concur that, at this time, surface mining occurring on the Lake Springs Ranch property is so remote
as to be negligible.
If you require anything additional, let me know and I will continue my research.

Re: Rivendell Farm Mineral Assessment Report – 2009 Update
Conservation Easement Property (Garfield County, Colorado)
Dear Mike:
Rare Earth Science, LLC (Rare Earth) has completed a review of potential mineral resources
and the possibility of future mining activity at your property located southeast of Glenwood
Springs. The property is known as Rivendell Farm, which includes approximately 169 acres of
land that have been phased into conservation easements (CEs) between 2004 and 2009.
Rare Earth reviewed An Assessment of Mineral Resource Potential report (dated December 28,
2004) prepared by BIO-Logic Environmental for the larger Rivendell Farm (see attached Figure
1), which, at the time, was known as the 438-acre Lake Springs Planned Unit Development.
This property encompasses portions of Sections 32, 33 and 34, Township 6 South, Range 88
West (6th Principal Meridian) and Section 4, Township 7 South, Range 88 West (6th Principal
Meridian). The 2004-2009 CEs are located in portions of the East ½ of Section 32 and West ½
of Section 33 (see Figure 2).
Based upon maps & surveys provided by the Aspen Valley Land Trust and High Country
Engineering, Inc., along with Bureau of Land Management (BLM) historical land status records,
it appears that the Federal mineral estate was not accurately mapped in the 2004 mineral
resource report. Figure 2 depicts the currently-understood boundary for Federal ownership of
“all minerals,” which affects a portion of the 2006-2008 CEs. Otherwise, mineral rights at the
remainder of the property appear to be privately held.
Rare Earth reviewed geologic maps & aerial photographs for the property; State and Federal
databases for mining & drilling information (obtained from the Colorado Oil & Gas Conservation
Commission [COGCC] and the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety [DRMS])
for the site and surrounding area; and an updated BLM Mineral Management Status Map
(Carbondale, 2008).
No oil & gas fields are known to underlie the area and no recent, or planned, drilling activity or
active oil & gas leases were identified in the COGCC or BLM databases for the property or
adjoining lands. Additionally, no on-site or nearby State-permitted mining activities were
identified. No mines, prospects, mineralized areas or patented (or unpatented) mining claims
Exhibit C

were identified at the property or adjoining lands, and no veins or lodes are known to intersect
the property.
This letter serves as a current update to BIO-Logic Environmental’s 2004 mineral resource
report, concluding that no significant changes have occurred at the property which would alter
the original findings that the probability of surface mining occurring at the Rivendell Farm
property is so remote as to be negligible.

INTRODUCTION
Lake Springs PUD (Planned Unit Development) is located approximately in Spring Valley
approximately 5.5 miles north of the Carbondale town center and 5.8 miles south of Glenwood
Springs in Garfield County, Colorado. Lake Springs PUD contains approximately 438 acres within
an approved subdivision that is yet undeveloped. Lake Springs PUD contains 191 lots within 5
phases. An approximately 40 acre conservation easement is planned on a portion of the Lake
Springs PUD (hereafter, the property) in 2004. Other portions of the property may have future
conservation easements placed on them in the future . This report examines the mining and mineral
potential of all the land within the Lake Springs PUD.
As identified in the SLM edition of the Mineral Management Status Map for the Carbondale 1 ° x 2°
Quadrangle (1994) approximately 156 acres of land encompassed by the property has mineral rights
that are owned by the federal government (Figure 1, Appendix A). The remainder of the property
has privately owned mineral rights. A May 2001 Title Commitment does not identify any separation
of the mineral estate from the surface estate where the mineral estate is privately owned . The
portion of the property having privately owned mineral rights was patented by cash-entry patents by
3 different individuals in 1895. According to patent records the U.S. Government did not reserve the
"right of a proprietor of a vein or lode to extract and remove his ore therefrom ... " from any of these
lands within the property. The remaining portion of the property having federally owned mineral
rights was patented by homestead-stockraising entry in 1931. At the time this patent was granted
the U.S. Government reserved the mineral rights to coal and all other minerals, including the right of
a proprietor of a vein or lode to extract and remove his ore therefrom ... " This report examines the
potential of surface mining to occur on and the potential for a vein or lode to penetrate or intersect
the portion of land within the property having federally owned mineral rights.
The purpose of this study was to determine if the property is in accordance with federal laws
governing the tax deductibility of conservation easements in which the ownership of the surface
estate and mineral interests has been separated. The Internal Revenue Code §170(h)(5)(B)(ii)
states that for such donations, the conservation purpose will be considered to be perpetually
protected if the probability of surface mining on the property is so remote as to negligible . Federal
Treasury Regulations 26CFR 1.1 ?0A-14 (g)( 4) further state that a deduction will not be denied in the
case of certain methods of mining that may have limited, localized impact on the real property but
that are not irremediably destructive of significant conservation interests.
The conservation values on the property include productive agricultural land, natural wildlife habitat
and vegetation communities, and scenic open space. The purpose of conservation easements
placed on the property is to protect these conservation values in perpetuity.
Property Location. The Lake Springs PUD property is located in Spring Valley between Landis and
Cattle Creeks which are tributaries to the Roaring Fork River located about 2.25 miles west of the
property. The property is surrounded by private ranch and residential lands. Public lands
administered by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) are located between 0.4 and 0 .9 mile
east and south of the property. Isolated tracts of public lands administered by the SLM are also
located 2 .3 miles north of the property. The White River National Forest begins approximately 3.3
miles north of the property (Figure 1, Appendix A). The property is located in portions of Sections
32, 33, and 34 in Township 6 South, Range 88 West, 6th Principal Meridian and Section 4 in
Township 7 South, Range 88 West, 6th Principal Meridian (Figures 1 and 2, Appendix A). The
property is reached from Carbondale by traveling north on Colorado State Highway 82
approximately 5 miles to the intersection with Garfield County 114 Road (CMG Road). The
southwest boundary of the property lies approximately 3.6 miles northeast on 114 Road about 1 mile

northeast of Colorado Mountain College. Alternatively the property can be reached from Glenwood
Springs by traveling south on Highway 82 about 3 miles to the intersection with 115 Road (Red
Canyon Road). Red Canyon Road contains steep switchbacks that narrow to 1 lane and may be icy
in the winter. Travel northeast and southeast on 115 Road approximately 6.2 miles to the
intersection with 114 Road. The north property boundary lies on 114 Road approximately 0.1 mile
south of the intersection. The midsection of the property is traversed by 119 Road (Kindall Road)
and is accessible by other local roads.
According to Title Commitments prepared by Land Title Guarantee Company of Glenwood Springs
dated October 11, 2004 and Old Republic National Title Insurance Company dated May 25, 2001
the entire property is owned by The Berkeley Family Limited Partnership, A Colorado Limited
Partnership . The Title Commitments were provided by staff of the Aspen Valley Land Trust and
Attorney John Schenk, legal counsel for The Berkeley Family Limited Partnership and appear in
Appendix B. The October 11, 2004 Title Commitment applies to the portion of the property within
Lots 5 and 6 of Section 32 and Lots 7-10 of Section 33, Township 6 South, Range 88 West, 6th
Principal Meridian where the 2004 Conservation Easement is located in the northeast corner of the
property. The May 25, 2001 Title Commitment applies to the entire 438-acre Lake Springs PUD
property.
Mineral Estate Ownership. The BLM edition of the Mineral Management Status Map for the
Carbondale 1 ° x 2° Quadrangle ( 1994) shows that mineral rights of the eastern portion of the
property, approximately 156 acres, are owned by the federal government, including the rights to
coal, oil and gas, and all other minerals (Figure 1, Appendix A). The mineral rights of t he remaining
approximately 282 acres of the property are privately owned .
A search of the BLM General Land Office records database (BLM GLO 2004) shows that several
cash-entry land patents and one homestead-stockraising entry patent were granted on the lands
within the property. A review of the land patent records found that the U.S. Government did not
reserve the "right of a proprietor of a vein or lode to extract and remove his ore therefrom ... " on the
lands having private mineral estate. The Title Commitments show no division or severance of the
privately owned mineral estate. Cash-entry patents were granted to William H. Hubbard, Philip H .
Van Cleave and Walter Van Cleave in June 1895. A homestead-stockraising patent was granted to
Clarence Johnson in February 1931 (recorded in 1952, Book 263 Page 239). Mr. Johnson
homesteaded Lots 1, 6, 11, 12, 13, 14 and the NE¼ SE¼ of Section 33, and the SW¼ Section 34,
Township 6 South Range 88 West, 6th Principal Meridian. The lands homesteaded by Mr. Johnson
have federal mineral reservations for the rights to coal and all other minerals, as well as a
reservation of the "right of a proprietor of a vein or lode to extract and remove his ore therefrom ... "
The 2004 Conservation Easement does not intersect any portion of the property having federally
owned mineral estate.
Investigation Methods. The geology and mineral resource potential of Garfield County and the
Carbondale-Glenwood Springs area have been studied by the U.S . Geological Survey, Colorado
Geological Survey, Department of Energy, and others. This mineral assessment consisted of a
review of published literature including geologic maps, geophysical data, and geochemical data; a
review of on-line databases available at the Colorado Oil and Gas Commission website accessed
November 1, 2004 (COGCC 2004); a review of pertinent information contained in the Case
Recordation Serial Register and LR2000 Database (BLM 2004); a review of databases containing
historic and current mining activities produced by the U.S. Geological Survey and Colorado
Geological Survey; communication with Aspen Valley Land Trust (AVL T) staff; communication with

The geology and landscape of the Carbondale area is dominated by Neogene salt tectonism and
salt dissolution resulting in significant deformation of geologic strata. The greater Carbondale area
north to Glenwood Springs lies within a massive topographic depression interpreted as a collapse
structure formed by the dissolution and flowage of evaporitic rocks that lie at or near the ground
surface. The depression is up to 4,000 feet lower in elevation than the surrounding terrain . Within
the collapse block are many complex geologic structures unique to salt dissolution and tectonism
including synclinal sags, intrusive contacts between sedimentary rock formations , orthogonal fault
sets, parallel bedding-plane faults, structural troughs , valley anticlines, collapse debris, thick
sediment accumulations, and folded Pleistocene outwash terraces (Kirkham and Widmann 1997,
Kirkham et al. 2002).
The presence of folded and faulted surficial deposits indicate that the collapse has continued into the
Quaternary. Sinkholes and high salinity loads in streams flowing through the Carbondale area are
evidence of ongoing dissolution. The western margin of the Carbondale collapse center is the
Grand Hogback Monocline .
The property is located about 3.6 miles east of the axis of the Cattle Creek anticline and 5.3 miles
east of the axis of the Grand Hogback Monocline, both major folds dating to the Laramide Orogeny .
The Grand Hogback Monocline is a down-to-the-west fold that developed in during the later part of
the Laramide Orogeny. The portion of the fold that is suspected of Quaternary movement stretches
from Thompson Creek north to Glenwood Springs . The Monocline is underlain by evaporate
deposits believed to be up to 4 ,000 feet thick and the most recent movement along the fold and
related faults is suspected to be related to migrating or dissolving evaporates and possibly a relaxing
of the monocline fold . There are numerous Quaternary northwest trending faults mapped parallel to
the Grand Hogback Monocline .
North of Carbondale is a series of faults mapped in Heuschkel Park, a synclinal sag . Another series
of faults known as the Spring Valley faults and Red Canyon faults exist around Spring Valley, which
is modeled as a graben or half-graben structure (Kirkham et al. 2002). The Red Canyon and Spring
Valley faults offset Miocene volcanic rocks and Quaternary deposits within Spring Valley and are
related to salt tectonism within the Carbondale collapse center.
The Red Canyon Faults are located along the northern margin of the Carbondale collapse center, a
large late Cenozoic structural depression created by the flowage and dissolution of underlying
Pennsylvanian evaporitic rocks. The Carbondale collapse center is a large depression from the
lower slopes of Mount Sopris north to Glenwood Springs . It is bounded on the east by the Basalt
Mountain Fault. Within the Carbondale collapse center are several other folds and faults including
the Cattle Creek Anticline which all have the potential for movement due to salt tectonism and
dissolution of the several thousand feet of evaporates underlying the center (Widmann et al. 2002b ).
The property lies between 6,920 and 7,320 feet elevation (Figure 2, Appendix A). The property
encompasses rolling hills and valley floor of Spring Valley . Spring Valley is a long basin extending
nearly 3.7 miles that lies east of the Roaring Fork valley and is about 1,000 feet in elevation above
the Roaring Fork River . Kirkham et al. (2002) report that when early settlers homesteaded in the
area Spring Valley was a closed depression containing a lake. The lake was drained by a hand-dug
drain ditch at the north end of the valley in order to convert the lake bed to agricultural land .
Primary soil units mapped by the Soil Conservation Service (SCS1984) on the property include
Empedrado loam consisting of clay loam ; Kilgore silt loam described as poorly drained , very gravelly
sandy loam to loamy sand; Morvall-Tridell complex consisting of loam to stony loam formed in
basalt-derived alluvium; Showater-Morvall complex consisting of cobbly clay loam to clay formed in
B/O-l.ogic En v ironmental
December 28, 200 4
5
basalt-derived alluvium with a very stony surface; and Forelle loam consisting of loam to clay loam.
Geologic Units. The near surface rocks of the property range in age from about 22.5 million years
old to Quaternary alluvium. Perhaps 800 to 2,000 or more feet below the surface lie Permian and
Pennsylvanian rock units that are between 240 and 300 million years old (Kirkham 2002).
According to geologic maps of the Carbondale and Glenwood Springs Quadrangles (Kirkham and
Widmann 1997, Kirkham et al. 1997) and geologic cross -sections of Spring Valley (Kirkham et al.
2002) the surface geology of the property is comprised of unconsolidated Quaternary landslide
deposits, and Quaternary alluvium, colluvium, and lacustrine deposits overlying Miocene volcanic
rocks comprised of basalt. The Quaternary deposits may be 800 to over 2 ,000 feet thick and overlie
Miocene basaltic rocks and/or Pennsylvanian/Permian Maroon Formation , and Pennsylvanian Eagle
Valley Formation and Eagle Valley Evaporite. The Quaternary landslide deposits consist of
unstratified and unsorted clay, silt, sand, gravel and boulders . The landslide deposits contain
abundant basalt boulders and a clay matrix. Landslide deposits in the Carbondale and Glenwood
Springs Quadrangles range in age from active to long-inactive. The Quaternary alluvium and
colluvium deposits consist of undivided unconsolidated deposits variably sorted sandy silt, gravel,
and clay deposited on old ridges or terraces by drainages, gravity, or sheetwash. Within the central
portion of Spring Valley the unconsolidated deposits also contain lacustrine deposits, typically
varved layers of silt with sand.
The unconsolidated deposits are underlain by Miocene volcanics, or Permian to Pennsylvanian
bedrock . The Miocene volcanics consist of multiple basalt flows that may be rich in olivine. Dating
of samples within the Carbondale and Glenwood Springs Quadrangles found flows ranged in age
from 8 to 22 million years old. Flows at the north end of Spring Valley dated 22 million years old
(Kirkham et al. 1997, Kirkham and Widmann 1997).
The Maroon Formation consists of reddish arkosic sandstone and conglomerate which forms striking
redbeds throughout the area. Debris flows and rockfall are common in areas where this unit
outcrops at the surface. The Eagle Valley Formation consists of interbedded reddish to gray
gypsyferous sandstone, gypsum and carbonate rocks . This unit contains rocks of the overlying
Maroon Formation and underlying Eagle Valley Evaporite . In the Carbondale-Glenwood Springs
area this unit is often deformed by salt flowage of evaporates in the underlying unit and subsidence
and sinkholes are possible . The Eagle Valley Evaporite consists of an alternating sequence of
gypsum, anhydrite, halite, mudstone, sandstone, limestone, and sha le. There are economic gypsum
and halite resources within the Eagle Valley Evaporite. The unit is often deformed from folds, faults ,
diapirism , salt flowage and dissolution, and related subsidence. Areas within the Eagle Valley
Formation and the Eagle Valley Evaporite are susceptible to collapse, sink holes, compaction,
piping, and corrosivity (Streufert 1999).
MINING HISTORY
No notable mines or prospecting features such as trenches or pits, or active or inactive mines are
visible on the property or are believed to have ever occurred within the property (Vanderwilt 1947,
Del Rio 1960, Day et al. 1999, BLM 2004 , Carroll and Bauer 2002). The property is not within a
metal mining district or mineral resource area (Vanderwilt 1947 , CGS and USGS 1977, Wray 2002,
Carroll 2002, Del Rio 1960). The property is located approximately 5.8 miles east of the Piceance
Basin which contains the Uinta Coal Region . Numerous historic coal mines are located on the
eastern margin of the Uinta Coal Region and targeted coal beds within the upper Cretaceous
Mesaverde Group (Carroll and Bauer 2002).

The nearest federally leased land for oil or gas development is approximately 7.4 miles west of the
property, and the nearest producing gas or oil well is more than 15 miles west of the property (BLM
2004, COGCC 2004). The nearest non-producing oil or gas wells lies about than 2.7 miles south of
the property. Other non-producing wells are located between 6 and 10 miles south and west of the
property. Over 900 acres having federal mineral estate and located approximately 0.5 miles west of
the property was previously leased from 1982 to 1992 by major national gas and oil companies
(BLM 2004 ). No oil or gas exploration or extraction is known to have occurred on or near the
property .
The nearest mining operations are active and former gravel and borrow pits located along the upper
and lower terraces of the Roaring Fork. The nearest are an inactive borrow pit and an i nactive small
gravel pit river within 1.6 to 2.3 miles west and southwest of the property (Figure 5, Appendix A).
There are no sand and gravel pits or quarries located near or on the property , in Spring Valley, o r in
areas with similar geology (Kirkham and W idmann 1997, Keller et al. 2002).
LOCATABLE MINERAL RESOURCES
Numerous metallic minerals may occur as veins or lodes . Most metallic minerals fall into the
category of Locatable Minerals which includes all minerals subject to exploration, development, and
production under the 1872 Mining Law. This includes most metals such as gold, silver, lead , zinc,
and copper, and industrial minerals .
Base and precious metals have been mined in Colorado from several main types of deposits . None
of the following types of deposits occur on or near the property: vein deposits in steeply-dipping
metasedimentary rocks ; masses of pyritized sedimentary rock and rhyolite dikes ; contact
metamorphic deposits with massive magnetite, iron-copper sulfides, and gold; high-grade quartz-
sulfide veins hosted predominantly by Proterozoic granitic and metamorphic rocks; pegmatite
bodies; stratabound massive sulfide deposits; and Pre-metamorphic quartz veins with gold-
chalcopyrite mineralization (Taylor et al. 1984, Van Loenen and Gibbons 1997). The geology on the
property is unfavorable for any type of base or precious metal deposits due to unfavorable geology.
A search of BLM records found that no active mining claims exist in Townships 6 or 7 South, Range
88 West and there are no nearby claims that would have any potential for a vein or lode to penetrate
the property {BLM 2004). Some closed placer and lode claims located between Colorado Mountain
College and the Roaring Fork River were claimed but were closed within a couple years. No mines
of locatable mineral resources were identified in the vicinity of the property (BLM 2004, Keller et al.
2002 , BLM 2004, Vanderwilt 1947, Del Rio 1960).
Gold can be mined from placer deposits within water courses downstream of gold-bearing strata .
No productive or valid historic placer claims are known to exist on Cattle or Landis Creeks
(Vanderwilt 1947, Del Rio 1960, BLM 2004). There are no mineralized areas known within the
watersheds of these creeks. Therefore the potential for economic placer deposits to be discovered
on the property is low.
Very small amounts gold are potentially present within the Cretaceous Mancos Shale which is
absent from the property . Uranium and vanadium occur in the region within Jurassic Morrison and
Entrada formations along the Grand Hogback monocline north of Rifle . Uranium is also known to
occur in volcanic deposits in hydrothermally altered areas or areas near mineralized rhyolitic
intrusions with disseminated deposits. Potential uranium-bearing volcanic rocks have not been

-----·----------------7
found near the property and are not expected to occur here. The property is not within an area
shown to have economic uranium reserves (CGS and USGS 1977). There is no uranium potential
on the property due to unfavorable geology.
In the Glenwood Springs and Shoshone Quadrangles north and northwest of the property, lead and
zinc minerals occurring with minor copper and silver have been located in rocks of the Devonian
Chaffee Group and Mississippian Leadville Limestone (Kirkham et al. 1997, Kirkham et al. 1995).
The Colorado Geological Survey reports that there may be similar deposits of lead -zinc-silver
mineralization within the Glenwood Springs area but that if they do exist they are expected to be
subeconomic (Kirkham et al. 1997). The host formations are rocks of the Chaffee Group and the
Leadville Limestone. These formations, if present under the property , are believed to be more than
4 ,000 feet below the ground surface in the vicinity of the property (Kirkham et al. 2002). If any
mineralization were present, the depth to the host rocks would prohibit any mining of these
resources.
LEASABLE MINERAL RESOURCES
Oil, gas, oil shale , potash, sodium , native asphalt, bituminous rocks, and phosphate coal are
regulated by the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, which excluded them from the General Mining Law of
1872. Geothermal energy was added to the list of leasable minerals by the Geothermal Steam Act
of 1970. Regional rock formations having the potential to harbor leasable minerals include the
Mesaverde Group, other Cretaceous sandstone and shale , and gypsum-bearing Pennsylvanian-
Perm ian sedimentary rocks. The property does not have any mineral potential for oil shale due to
unfavorable geology. The property is not near an oil or gas field or within an area known to contain
coal , oil , gas, oil shale, geothermal energy, or uranium (USGS and CGS 1977, Wray et al. 2002 ,
Keller and Hemborg 2000).
Gypsum and halite . The Eagle Valley Evaporite contains gypsum and halite that have been found to
economically exploitable near Gypsum , Colorado . The potential for economic gypsum production is
closely tied to proximity to a wallboard production plant. Centex Construction Products operates the
gypsum mine and wallboard plant in Gypsum (Widmann and TerBest 2002). There is an enormous
deposit more than 900 feet-thick of halite at depth within the Eagle Valley Evaporite formation in the
Carbondale area where the unit has been thickened by the Cattle Creek anticline structure (Kirkham
and Widmann 1997, Kirkham et al. 2002). The Eagle Valley Evaporite unit is believed to be presen t
at a depth of more than 1,600 feet below the property (Kirkham et al. 2002). Based on the depth to
the formation and the presence of extremely thick economic halite resources of excellent quality
located near the ground surface elsewhere in the Carbondale-Gypsum area it is remote that a
gypsum or halite mine would be located on the property .
Oil, gas, and hydrocarbons. The property is located east of the Piceance Basin within an area that
does not have any active federal oil or gas leases and that has few wildcat wells drilled . Oil and gas
in Pitkin , Mesa , and Garfield Counties are extracted primarily from upper Cretaceous rocks including
the Cozzette and Corcoran Sandstones , Rollins Sandstone and Williams Fork Formation of the
Mesaverde Group and less often the lower Cretaceous Dakota Sandstone and older units (Keller
and Hemborg 2000 , Widmann et al. 2002a , Wray 2002). Also coal bed methane gas is being
produced from the Williams Fork Formation of the Cretaceous Mesaverde Group . The property lies
within Quaternary landslide deposits and Tertiary volcanics which overlie Permian to Pennsylvanian
sedimentary rocks at depth .
There are no existing records of production of oil , gas , oil shale, potash, sodium , aspha lt , bitum inous

rock, and phosphate on or near the property or the nearby areas with similar geology. The
necessary conditions for hydrocarbon accumulation are presence of porous reservoir rocks , rich
source of hydrocarbon, confining layer or impermeable seal to trap hydrocarbons, and favorable
thermal history. Favorable geologic conditions do not appear to exist on the property. The nearest
producing fields are more than 10 miles west of the property within the Piceance Basin (USGS and
CGS 1977, Wray et al. 2002, Keller and Hemborg 2000). According to the BLM Case Recordation
(LIVE) Serial Register (2004) [oil and gas lease database], the nearest properties having federally
owned mineral estates that are currently under oil and gas lease are more than 7 miles west of the
property. There are large areas of lands having federal mineral estate adjacent to the property that
are not leased ; the unleased areas are also not within the Piceance Basin and Uinta Coal Basin.
Over 900 acres of land having federal mineral estate located approximately 0.5 mile west of the
property was leased by major oil and gas companies from 1982 to 1992. The land is mostly east of
the Piceance Basin and has not been leased since . This shows a lack of interest by the oil and gas
industry in the area proximal to the property located outside of the Piceance Basin .
The nearest drilled well is approximately 2.7 miles southwest of the property. This wildcat well was
described by Kirkham and Widmann (1997) and targeted the Leadville Limestone and Dyer Dolomite
below the Eagle Valley Evaporite. The well did not produce oil or gas and was abandoned .
The nearest currently producing well is more than 15 miles west of the property. The producing well
is located within an area considered to have high oil and gas potential within the Piceance Basin .
Coal and coal bed methane. Pitkin and Garfield Counties contain numerous small inactive coal
mines, all located within the Uinta Coal Basin from rocks of the Cretaceous Williams Fork Formation
in the upper Mesaverde Group. Most mines were limited producers for brief periods between the
1880s and the 1960s while a few produced coal into the 1980s. The nearest significant coal mines,
none still producing, are located in Coal Basin more than 12 miles southwest of the property within
the members of the Mesaverde Group (Carroll and Bauer 2002). Similar to coal, coal bed methane
is extracted from the Bowie Shale Member which includes the Cameo-Wheeler-Fairfield coal zone
and the Paonia Shale Membe r of the Williams Fork Formation (Kirkham et al. 1996, Tremain 1984).
The rocks of the Mesaverde Group are not present on or below the property and the property is
located east of the Uinta Coal Basin.
Subeconomic coal is also potentially present in thin discontinuous beds within the Cretaceous
Dakota Formation below the Cretaceous Mancos Shale . Coal beds within the Dakota Formation
have been mined on a small scale mostly for use by individual landowners for residential heating
(Brown 1989). No Cretaceous rock formations are present on the property. The property has
unfavorable geology for coal or coal bed methane resources.
Geothermal resources. Geothermal resources including steam and hot water are found in fractured
permeable rocks associated with igneous intrusions or high regional geothermal gradients.
Geothermal resources have been successfully developed generally where very recent volcanism or
igneous intrusive activity has occurred, and where permeable rocks have an impermeable cap that
allows heat and pressure to build so that steam can be harvested . No evidence of geothermal
deposits is apparent on the property, and there are no known thermal wells, springs, or seeps on or
adjacent to the property . The property is not mapped any area of significant energy resources
(Barrett and Pearl 1978, USGS and CGS 1977) however there are 3 sets of hot springs located
along the Colorado River between 6 and 10 miles northwest, north, and northeast of the property.
These hot springs flow adjacent to and in the Colorado River bed in Glenwood Springs, at the mouth
of South Canyon Creek west of Glenwood Springs , and Dotsero. The springs are related to deep
circulation of water within major fault systems . They are part of a group of hot springs also including
Steamboat Springs , and thermal wells reported in Yampa and between Steamboat Springs and

)\ssessment of \liin eral R eso u rce Potentia l : Lake Springs P UD
Craig, that occur around the White River Uplift.
A series of hot seeps and springs known as Penny Hot Springs is located about 2 miles north of
Redstone where hot water emerges from numerous springs and seeps within the Crystal River
alluvium above the Pennsylvanian Maroon Formation . They are believed to be associated with
faults and fractures of the Bulldog Stock, an igneous intrusive body at the edge of the Crystal River
valley (Barrett and Pearl 1978). The geologically recent igneous activity within the region makes it
possible that a high geothermal gradient may persist in the vicinity of the property. Geothermal
resources are exploited by subsurface mining methods (wells). The possibility of surface mining of
any geothermal resources on the property is remote.
Due to unfavorable geology, the property has little to no mineral potential for leasable minerals
including oil shale, potash, sodium, native asphalt, coal, or coal bed methane. It is uncertain what
potential if any exists for geothermal energy, oil, or gas which are all extracted by subsurface mining
methods. Geologic potential exists for gypsum and halite, but these resources would be present
more than 1,500 feet below the property at a depth too great for extraction by surface mining
methods.
SALABLE MINERAL RESOURCES
Salable minerals include petrified wood , common sand and gravel, sandstone or igneous dimension
stone, pumice, volcanic cinders (including scoria), high calcium or high grade limestone, and select
types of clay. Marble is usually classified as a salable mineral. Salable minerals on lands having
federal mineral estate must be purchased from the U.S. Government, and are regulated by the
Federal Materials Act of 1947 and the Multiple Surface Use Act of 1955. Most salable minerals have
low unit values per short ton and require easy access to transportation and local markets to be
profitably exploited . However, marble of exceptional quality may be profitably mined despite
transportation costs . The property has unfavorable geology for clay, dimension stone, limestone,
marble, gypsum, and salt, all of which have value as industrial or construction materials . These
resources exist in geologic un its that are either not found on or under the property, or in the case of
gypsum and salt occur at depths too great for economic recovery by surface mining methods
(Dunrud et al. 1989, Ellis 1987, Vanderwilt 1947, Del Rio 1960).
High calcium limestone is mined from Leadville Limestone exposed north of Glenwood Springs and
in the north half of the Glenwood Springs Quadrangle where can be chemically pure and mined as
metallurgical grade limestone (Kirkham et al. 1997). If present, the Leadville Limestone is several
thousand feet below the ground surface in the vicinity of the property at a depth too great for surface
mining.
Scoriaceous basalt is mined from the 4 ,000-year-old volcanic rocks of the Dotsero crater. The
basalt is crushed for use as a filler in cinder blocks , road cinders, and landscaping aggregate .
Pumice and cinders are mined from Tertiary basalt and cinders on the north side of Cottonwood
Creek approximately 5.9 miles east of the property. The McNulty quarry has been permitted since
1978 and exists on lands having both prjvate surface and mineral estate . The quarry exploits
scoriaceous cinder deposits exposed in a cinder cone remnant. Although basalt outcrops on the
property, it is unlikely that a similar quarry operation could be located on the property. No cinder
cone deposits similar to those at the McNulty quarry have been mapped on or near the Lake Springs
PUD property.
Quaternary alluvium, colluvium, and glacial till deposits are potential sources of sand and gravel.
BIO-Logic En vironmentai
Decemb er 28, 2004
A ssessme nt OT 1v1m era1 Fi eso urce r u u::nrn,u; L a l\.t: v.1J i 11 1~"' ru u
The Quaternary landslide and colluvial deposits mapped on much of the property are also
considered to be a source of sand and gravel (Kirkham and Widmann 1997, Kirkham et al. 1997,
Streufert 1999). The unconsolidated deposits can be up to 1,300 feet thick in the vicinity of the
property. There are no current or historic sand or gravel quarries located in vicinity of the property
having similar geology (Keller et al. 2002). Numerous sand and gravel quarries exist in the Crystal
and Roaring Fork Rivers and on young and old river terraces adjacent to major county roads and
state highways near Carbondale . A couple sand and gravel quarries have historically existed near
the McNulty cinder quarries several miles east of the property. These quarries apparently exploited
sand and gravel deposited on old terraces of Cottonwood Creek . Most of the soils mapped on the
property and in areas with similar geology by the Soil Conservation Service (SCS 1977, SCS 1984)
contain too large a percentage of clay and fines to be usable as a sand and gravel resource . The
soils mapped in central portion of Spring Valley including the irrigated portion of the property contain
much less fines and little clay compared to the soil units mapped on the rest of the property. The
Kilgore soils mapped in the western irrigated portion of the property are generally considered
acceptable for use as a sand and gravel resource. However, extens ive clean sand and gravel
resources are readily available in alluvial terrace deposits closer to population centers throughout
the Carbondale-Glenwood Springs area. The Kilgore soils are only mapped on the portion of the
property having privately owned mineral rights that have not been severed from the surface rights.
Sand and gravel, cinder, and other salable resources are considered to be part of the mineral estate
where federally owned and managed by the BLM. If geologic potential exists it would be very
difficult to have an economically viable sand, gravel, or cinder operation where the m ineral rights are
severed from the surface estate. The cost of reimbursing the surface estate owner for damages to
the surface estate would severely impact any operation. The BLM has not historically permitted a
salable mineral mine on land having a federal mineral estate but a privately owned surface estate .
Due to the above described geologic and econom ic factors it is improbable that any salable
resources would be mined from the property.
SUMMARY
This study determined that the portion of the Lake Springs PUD property having severed mineral
rights has low to no mineral potential for locatable minerals or minerals occurring as a vein or lode
including gold, silver, base metals , sulphur, uranium , vanadium, and thorium . There are no patented
mining claims on veins or lodes that could potentially intersect the property.
The property has little to no mineral potential for leasable minerals including coal, coal bed methane ,
oil shale, potash, native asphalt, or bituminous rocks due to unfavorable geology. The property has
potential for gypsum and halite which may be present more than a thousand feet below the property
within the Eagle Valley Evaporite . If present these resources are at too great a depth to be exploited
through surface mining methods. It is unknown what potential for geothermal energy, oil , or gas
resources exists on the property. The property is within an area that experienced recent igneous
activity and may have an elevated geothermal gradient. Hot springs are present between Canyon
Creek west of Glenwood Springs, in Glenwood Springs, and Dotsero along the Colorado River.
Geothermal, oil, and gas resources are exploited by subsurface mining methods .
The property has little to no mineral potential for salable minerals including dimension stone,
limestone, marble , petrified wood, refractory brick clay, or other salable minerals due to unfavorable
geology. The has low potential for sand and gravel, pumice, scoria , and volcanic cinders, but due to
the presence of abundant highly accessible, higher-quality resources in other areas of the Crystal-
Roaring Fork valley region; and due to the federal ownership of the split mineral estate the possibility

of an economic sand and gravel operation is remote.
CONCLUSION
Based on the geologic and economic factors described above and the lack of historic mining claims
or mineral extraction operations in the vicinity of property and in nearby areas with similar geology,
the probability of surface mining on any portion of the property is so remote as to be negligible .
