0000 M-1977-252 AR02 <br /> General Shale V Annual Fee/Report: CW <br /> Building The American Dream, No Violations <br /> March 27, 2017 <br /> Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety <br /> Mr. Peter Hays <br /> Environmental Protection Specialist <br /> 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br /> Denver, CO 80203 RECEIVED <br /> Re: M-1977-252 Pioneer Mine, Douglas County, Colorado APR 0 6 2017 <br /> Acreage Reduction Request <br /> DMSION OF RECLAMATION <br /> Dear Mr. Hays: MINING AND SAFETY <br /> During your recent inspection on December 5, 2016 you noted there was a discrepancy in the <br /> permitted acreage for the Pioneer Mine Site and found that the correct permitted acreage was <br /> 34.0 acres. General Shale has reviewed their files and the 1977 permit map exhibit C Mine <br /> Plan Map. General Shale found that the DRMS acreage of 34.0 acres is correct. The General <br /> Shale annual report drawing has the permit boundary drawn incorrectly along the west side of <br /> the permit boundary. We have since redrawn the boundary on the west side to match the <br /> original 1977 map and are now matching the DRMS permitted acreage as shown in the <br /> enclosed current conditions site map. <br /> Since the last acreage reduction request there have been two public roadways built along the <br /> north and west sides of the Pioneer Mine. Also, the western 13.32 acres of the Pioneer Mine <br /> were sold. Most of the sold area was not covered under the DRMS permit. Along the north side <br /> Hess Road has been constructed with a 55 feet right of way granted to the Town of Parker; see <br /> enclosed Robinson Brick and Town of Parker June 3, 1998 special warranty deed. Along the <br /> west side Robinson Ranch Filing 2 Tract B has been sold to Spasco of Colorado; see enclosed <br /> Robinson Brick and Spasco of Colorado April 28, 2006 special warranty deed. A portion of the <br /> DRMS permit covered Tract B. Also along the west side Pine Bluffs Way has been constructed <br /> with an 80 feet right of way granted to the Town of Parker; see January 16. 2006 minor <br /> development plat sheet 1 bottom center. <br /> General Shale is requesting the removal of the Hess Road right of way which is approximately <br /> 0.5 acres. In addition, General Shale is requesting the removal of the western parcel of the <br /> Pioneer Mine that has been sold and the removal of the Pine Bluffs Way totaling 1.8 acres. The <br /> new permit area is calculated to be 31.7 acres. The release areas and new permit boundary <br /> are shown in the enclosed acreage reduction site map. <br /> Please feel free to contact me with any questions at 303-783-3058 or by email at <br /> jason.mcgraw@generalshale.com. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> General Shale Brick, Inc. <br /> Jason E.
