Based on your letter <br /> dated January 4, 2022,this letter and the attached materials are intended to re-complete the application for this <br /> permit transfer. <br /> As an overall comment, please note that Brannan took over this operation at the closing of its contract with the <br /> previous owner(GP Aggregates, LLC, and Prowers Aggregate Operators, LLC) on November 18, 2021. It is typical <br /> in such transactions that the prior owner carry the DRMS performance and financial warranties while the <br /> Succession of Operators is processed. But it is now critical that the prior owner be relieved of its warranty <br /> obligations. <br /> Responding to each comment from the January 4 letter: <br /> 1. The "Application Form for Transfer of Mineral Permit and Succession of Operators — Administrative <br /> Information" is enclosed. <br /> 2. Both Permittee and Prospective Operator have initialed page 6. <br /> 3. Page 8 has been revised to reflect the suggested corrections: Date is adjusted to August 16, 2016, and <br /> "AM-2" is omitted. <br /> 4. The Agreement spanning pages 8 through 10 is now dated above signatures. <br /> 5. The Performance Warranty is revised as follows: <br /> a. Reference is only to "M-2008-078"and not any specific amendment. <br /> b. The Operator name is provided responsively on page 13. <br /> c. A company seal is affixed (embossed). <br /> d. Notary blocks reflect the full name of the Prospective Operator. <br /> 6. Brannan has initiated the structure letter process defined by Rule 6.4.19. Please see enclosed <br /> confirmation of the January 21, 2022, mailing conducted by Brannan. In the case of a 112 permit <br /> application, this would be sufficient for completeness. <br /> Please also find enclosed an up-to-date geotechnical/stability analysis covering any structure for which <br /> Brannan is unable to obtain a structure agreement. <br /> 2500 East Brannan Way I Denver I CO 80229 1 303.534.1231 Tel 1 303.534.1236 Fax <br /> www.brannani.com <br />
