Re: Agreement for Compensation for Damage to Structures within 200 Feet of Mining
Activities
Dear Mr. Koskie:
On October 30, 2013, the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County approved and
authorized the Chairman's signature on a document entitled, "Right to Enter Agreement to
Obtain Soil and/or Gravel for Road Purposes,"with you being listed as the"Owner" in the
Agreement. The property is: East'/z of Section 12,Township 10 North, Range 67 West of the Oh
P.M., Weld County, Colorado ("the Property"). Weld County is currently applying for a permit
from the State of Colorado, Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety("DRMS"), to mine the
property. The DRMS pemiit application requires the submittal of an agreement between the
prospective permit holder and owners of structures located within 200 feet of the proposed area
to be mined, agreeing to provide compensation to the owners if the mining causes any damages
to the structures.
Clay Kimmi, Senior Engineer for Weld County, has informed me that the County's mining
operations on the Property will come within approximately 30 feet of the fence lines on the north
and west sides of the mine permit area,and within approximately 50 feet of your windmill and
livestock water well. Mr. Kimmi reports that: "Slope stability will not be an issue because we
will not mine to a high wall (vertical wall)condition and the reclamation slopes will have to be
shallow enough to allow farm implements to traverse it. The well sits at an elevation that is
about 15 feet lower than the current land surface. We will mine about 15 feet of material.
Therefore, in the vicinity of the well, the final land surface will be about the same elevation as
the well so there are no slope stability issues."
The purpose of this letter is to request your authorization to conduct mining and reclamation
activities within 200 feet of these structures. In return for such authorization, Weld County
agrees to provide you with fair compensation if, in the course of conducting the mining and
reclamation activities, the structures are damaged as a direct result of the activities.
