Our team focuses on ensuring all regulatory parameters are met and all site-specific regulations are adhered to when designing a mine or development plan. We carefully plan and design roads, pads, mine pit areas, stockpiles, and other required on site items and through time as the project progresses. Additionally, we assess the environmental impact these changes have on the surrounding area. Our experiences in permitting complex earthwork designs range across the county and federal agency spectrum. All viewpoints of major significances and concerns are represented through the photo-realistic renderings and site photos we develop. Mountainous areas in particular require careful attention when it comes to road design. We focus on ensuring the required grade, width, and drainage parameters are all met while keeping satisfactory material balances on site for economic reasons. In addition to earthwork design, our team prepares: PUD drainage plans Visual berms Ditches Site leveling/volumetric balances Site drainage plans https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c6ad53eefe9604eec7a5a/1614033880255-6HKJATGRN81LQV4OLCGJ/Vista+2.jpg Engineering Services - Environmental Site Assessment Lewicki and Associates regularly conducts environmental site assessments on a variety of mine, industrial, and commercial sites. These assessments are primarily commissioned during property transitions. The assessment package provides owners, buyers, sellers, and lenders with valuable information when assessing the environmental and regulatory compliance liabilities that come with each unique property. Environmental site assessments are divided into three phases: Phase 1 Tasks: Physical survey of the property and surrounding area to assess general land use and activities. On-site visual survey to identify recognized environmental issues. A review of geologic and soil conditions of the site including hydrologic evaluation of the site. A review of historical on-site and off-site land use. A review of local, state, and federal regulatory agency records maintained for the site. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c6ad53eefe9604eec7a5a/1614034097086-WMY71X3V50QNLPWL2DFI/Calhoun+eaton+rec.jpg Engineering Services - Reclamation Design and Management Our team has a rich and diverse background working in every stage of the reclamation design and management process. Ranging from reclamation planning and permitting, to site reclamation contracting and supervision, to reclamation monitoring and bond release, our team helps our clients through every step of the process. This experience means that we know the process from start to finish. Lewicki and Associates has received reclamation awards from the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (DRMS) for excellent reclamation at three coal mine sites. Members of Lewicki and Associates regularly conduct presentations at mining conferences on the topic of achieving successful full bond release. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c6ad53eefe9604eec7a5a/1614034043899-XNUHHZOI0YEV59JKSCA1/Photo+Feb+11%2C+14+35+28.jpg Engineering Services - Site Planning The beginning steps of planning a project can be overwhelming to some, but our team has experience in every stage of site planning and development and are perfectly suited to help pave the way for a smooth project.

The benefit of using renewables often includes lower costs, risk, and environmental damage. The most common renewables used by mining are solar, wind, and hydroelectric power. The mining industry is notoriously energy intensive and, as finite resources become increasingly costly and scarce, it is important for projects to adapt to renewable solutions to remain ahead of the curve and compliant with changing regulatory standards. https://www.lewicki.biz/contact-us daily 0.75 2021-02-08 https://www.lewicki.biz/permitting daily 0.75 2021-04-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c6ad53eefe9604eec7a5a/1614212660138-831T30YESTQJR93JEEZ6/DJI_0014%252B2.jpg Permitting - Permitting Permitting is one of our core specialties and Lewicki and Associates is proud to be a preferred permitting consultant with the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (DRMS). While most consulting companies focus on one area of permitting, our team is experienced with all permits required to open and operate a mining or industrial site in the State of Colorado. Early in our company’s tenure, we permitted the first significant new underground uranium mine in Colorado under the new domestic market obligation regulations on federal land. We also permitted the only gravel pit in Pitkin County (Aspen) Colorado, as well as the first significant new metal mine and mill that includes fresh mine tailing embankments in Colorado. Our history of successful permitting has allowed us to build a strong reputation with various regulatory agencies. We adhere to all regulations required by state and local governments such that our clients can successfully and quickly begin their mining or construction operations. Our engineering experience has allowed us to visualize how individual aspects of a plan fit together from the beginning to result in accurate site costs and financial evaluations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c6ad53eefe9604eec7a5a/1618795750566-6QO038UWLHHQP2ZYV6VB/IMG_8707.jpg Permitting - Feasibility Studies Developed over 40 years, our team has discovered the hidden strengths and weaknesses of mining operations that help lead to a successful operation. We complete pre-feasibility studies and detailed final feasibility studies for mining operations which include 43-101 instrument compliant studies. Types of mining operations include: ● Surface coal mines ● Underground coal mines ● Iron mines ● Limestone quarries ● Gravel pits ● Gold placer operations ● Dimension stone quarries ● Hard rock construction materials quarries ● Mineral specimen rhodochrosite https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c6ad53eefe9604eec7a5a/1614046514422-3J0Y7G7FYTOZJEZK2JIN/IMG_5385%252B2.jpg Permitting - Visual Impact Assessments and Mitigation Over the past decade, there has been a noticeable increase in the public’s sensitivity to the visual impacts of mining. County special use permits now often include visual resource management as a critical component, especially in areas where residential communities interact with commercial, industrial, and resource extraction industries. Some environments—rural areas in particular—are significantly more sensitive than others, making visual impact assessments and mitigation a necessary practice. While industry and regulatory practice includes properly evaluating areas via plan view maps and pre-disturbance photos, we believe that such maps do not always convey the impacts from an activity to the general public. We use photo-realistic computer-aided design renderings to convey the impacts of an activity on the surrounding landscape in a way that is accessible to the general public. These renderings are accurate, clear, and easy to understand and help to mitigate potential negative https://www.lewicki.biz/home daily 1.0 2021-02-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c6ad53eefe9604eec7a5a/1614025180402-6APK5BSW6RKHNRSE0XIY/Fairplay+Au+During+Gold+Rush+Tenure.JPG Home - Smart and affordable engineering is possible.

This important part of the purchase process will help you understand if the property can perform to your intended purpose before you invest a significant amount of money. We’ll look at your land from every angle and help you better understand things like: Zoning issues Development costs Environment impact and limitations Natural resource deposits Property easements Possibilities for roads and utilities Necessary equipment for development Economic viability https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c6ad53eefe9604eec7a5a/8ba38963-4a21-45cf-89fa-7cd627afdf17/isaac-mehegan-Iz-y3IFKYbI-unsplash.jpeg Land Due Diligence - Environmental Site Assessment to Mitigate Risk Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Competition and Liability Act of 1980, otherwise known as the Superfund, liability for hazardous waste and contamination of properties can be transferred to unwitting buyers if a proper site assessment is not completed beforehand. The cost of cleaning up a site can be incredibly expensive and cause serious delays in development, and potentially make development uneconomical all together. Site assessments that adhere to Superfund legislative requirements can ensure the purchaser is qualified for exemption from liability as an innocent landowner, contiguous landowner or bona fide prospective purchaser.
