General Shale has reviewed their AutoCAD drawing for the <br /> annual report and found the discrepancy comes from the east line of the permit <br /> boundary does not follow the section line, which it should. After moving the permit <br /> boundary to the section line the acreages agree. <br /> Since the 2004 acreage reduction request, Sedalia Land Company has terminated the <br /> 17.41 acre clay lease on August 5, 2014. Approximately 0.65 acres of the clay lease <br /> occurs outside the permit boundary. Therefore, General Shale is requesting 16.76 <br /> acres of the clay lease to be removed from the permit. The remaining and new permit <br /> acreage will be 25.61 acres. Due to the removal of the clay lease this will create two <br /> separate permit areas. The northeast permit area is 18.81 acres and the southeast <br /> permit area is 6.80 acres. The release area and new permit boundaries are shown in <br /> the enclosed acreage reduction site map. Also enclosed are the lease termination letter <br /> and certificate of designation letter for the Sedalia Land Company landfill. <br /> Please feel free to contact me with any questions at 303-783-3058 or by email at <br /> jason.mcgraw@generaIshale.com. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> General Shale Brick, Inc. <br /> V/ y, <br /> Jason E.
