COMPASS LAND G R O U P March 4, 2029 (Condition of Approval No. 14 [Duration of Approval]); however, GRI is not anticipated to exhaust mineral reserves at the Bellino Quarry and Hendrick Quarry (which supply the M&P Facility) until 2054. The M&P Facility, Bellino Quarry, and Hendrick Quarry operate under separate Quarry Excavation Permits ("Permit" or "Permits") issued by the County. GRI is seeking a time extension to each Permit (and associated text update to the phasing schedule of the reclamation plans) to align the term of all three entitlements with the life of remaining permitted aggregate reserves ("Project"). Specifically, GRI seeks the following changes to the existing entitlements: 1. Bellino Quarry: Amendment to Revisions of Approved Actions for Quarry Excavation Application No. PA -0200370 to extend the permit term by 15 years (to December 2044). Associated text change to the Bellino Quarry Reclamation Plan to update the estimated reclamation phasing schedule to comport with the requested permit term. 2. Hendrick Quarry: Amendment to Revisions of Approved Actions for Quarry Excavation Application No. PA -0400250 to extend the permit term by 25 years (to December 2054). Associated text change to the Hendrick Quarry Reclamation Plan to update the estimated reclamation phasing schedule to comport with the requested permit term. 3. M&P Facility: Amendment to Revisions of Approved Actions for Quarry Excavation Application No. QX -89-2 to allow for a continuation of an accessory use for 25 years (to December 2054). See Attachment A, Proposed Changes to Existing Entitlements for redlined changes to the existing entitlements to account for the proposed extension of time. Other than the extension of time, GRI seeks no change to any element of the approved operations or Permits. The Project would not modify the current productions levels, area of mining, materials to be mined, or mining methods, and the overall production and processing activities would be consistent with existing conditions. Aggregate mining and processing sites in California are notoriously difficult to permit and require significant capital investment to develop. Once a mine site is operational, it is preferential from an environmental and operational standpoint that the permitted reserves be fully mined to avoid the cost and environmental impact of developing alternative sources of aggregate to serve a local market. As such, it is important for Company and community long-range planning that the term of the mining and processing permits align with the anticipated life of the aggregate reserve. Page 2
