A copy of the letter from the landowner of record where SP 1 will be located has been provided below which consents with the location and design of SP I. March 11, 2016 Rick Wolney Mine Manager New Horizon Mine P.O. Box 628 Nucla, CO 81424 Dear Rick: I understand that the DRMS has requested a consent letter from me regarding the stock watering pond to be constructed on my property, Lot 2 of Section 6, T46N, RI 5W, N.M.P.M., Montrose County, Colorado. I inherited this property from my parents, Kenneth E. Goforth and Joyce A. Goforth. They bought the property and signed a mining lease with Peabody Coal in early 1988. During the whole time that my family and I lived on the property, we always understood the western property boundary to be marked by a fence that ran north to south. That fence was removed in the early 1990s to allow mining, but a corner of the fence and remnants of the fence still exist there to this day in the northwest comer of the property, and extending a little bit to the south of there. Our property extends in a westerly direction up to the fence line. Our neighbor to the west until 2012 was the San Miguel Power Company. I do not remember them ever disputing or questioning the location of the property boundary at the fence line. My family never had a dispute with them about that question either. I am familiar with the location where you are proposing to build the stock pond. The stock watering pond always used to be located on the east side of the fence line, in the northwest corner of our property. Our family owned and used the stock pond, but San Miguel Power Company never did. I own the property where Western Fuels -Colorado is proposing to build the replacement stock pond. I consent to you building it there, and have no objections to the design for the pond that you have shown me. Sincerely, Lester F. Goforth Attachment 2.05.3(3)-34 Revision Date: 3/30/16 Page 3 Revision No.: TR -71
