Re: Ensminger Pit #2, Permit M- 2010 -036, Succession of Operators Approval, Revision SO -2
Dear Rick Ensminger:
On January 21, 2015, the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety approved the succession of operators from
Crystal Springs Ranch Inc. to Rick Ensminger for this operation. Rick Ensminger is now the permitted operator of the
Ensminger Pit #2, and as such, is responsible for all provisions in M- 2010 -036, as well as those specified in the Rules
and Regulations. Crystal Springs Ranch Inc. is relieved of all responsibilities concerning this operation.
Please Note:
1. All of the application materials, as amended and supplemented, are in integral part of your permit. They have
been incorporated into the permit by reference. We presume that you have a copy of all of these materials; therefore,
none have been enclosed with this mailing. We suggest that you keep a copy of the permit and the permit application
at the mining operation as a reference for operation personnel, to help ensure compliance with the terms of the permit.
2. Changes in the mining and reclamation operations that differ from those described in the permit may require a
modification to the permit. We suggest consulting the Rules and Regulations and/or contacting us to determine if a
modification to the permit is necessary. Rule 1.10 pertains to Amendments, Rule 1.9 to Technical Revisions, and Rule
1.11 to Conversions.
3. On your permit anniversary date each year, you must submit an annual fee and annual report to us. Please
consult the Rules, Act, and your permit for specific requirements.
The new estimated liability amount of $47,500.00 for Ensminger Pit #2, has been provided by Financial Warranty
Letter of Credit No issued by Points West Community Bank.
The transfer of this permit does not result in the transfer of any other permits or licenses, with this Division,
the State, or Federal Agency, which might be associated with this operation.
If you have any questions, contact me.
Sincerely,
Elliott R. Russell U
Environmental Protection Specialist
