Warneke: <br />On December 1, 2015, the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety approved the succession of operators from Natural Soda, Inc. <br />to Natural Soda LLC for this operation. Natural Soda LLC is now the permitted operator of the Nahcolite Project, and as such, is <br />responsible for all provisions in M-1983-194, as well as those specified in the Rules and Regulations. Natural Soda, Inc. is relieved <br />of all responsibilities concerning this operation. <br />Please Note: <br />1. All of the application materials, as amended and supplemented, are in integral part of your permit. They have been <br />incorporated into the permit by reference. We presume that you have a copy of all of these materials; therefore, none have been <br />enclosed with this mailing. We suggest that you keep a copy of the permit and the permit application at the mining operation as a <br />reference for operation personnel, to help ensure compliance with the terms of the permit. <br />2. Changes in the mining and reclamation operations that differ from those described in the permit may require a <br />modification to the permit. We suggest consulting the Rules and Regulations and/or contacting us to determine if a modification to <br />the permit is necessary. Rule 1.10 pertains to Amendments, Rule 1.9 to Technical Revisions, and Rule 1.11 to Conversions. <br />3. On your permit anniversary date each year, you must submit an annual fee and annual report to us. Please consult the <br />Rules, Act, and your permit for specific requirements. <br />The new estimated liability amount of $4,158,340.68 for Nahcolite Project, has been provided by Argonaut Insurance Company <br />Bond No. SUR0024563 in the amount of $4,629,316.96. <br />The transfer of this permit does not result in the transfer of any other permits or licenses, with this Division, the State, or <br />Federal Agency, which might be associated with this operation. <br />If you have any questions, contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />Travis H.
