RE: GCC Rio Grande, Inc. —Cedarwood Clay Mine
DRMS Permit Number M-1977-317
Transfer of Mineral Permit and Succession of Operators— Response to Comments
Dear Mr. Lennberg:
On January 19, 2022, GCC Rio Grande, Inc. (GCC) submitted the Transfer of Mineral Permit and Succession
of Operations packet to DRMS for the Cedarwood Clay Mine located southeast of Colorado City, Colorado.
On January 26, 2022, DRMS notified GCC that the submitted application was incomplete. Below are the
noted incomplete items in italics followed by GCC's responses to each item.
1. The annual fee, report and map are past due for the Cedarwood Clay Mine, M1977-317. The
Division will not allow any revisions to the permit, including this Succession of Operators
Request, to proceed until the permit gets back into compliance.
GCC Response: Seifert Enterprises submitted the required report and map on February 2, 2022.
2. A review of the Colorado Secretary of State website shows that Christopher Munoz is the
registered agent for GCC Rio Grande, Inc. not Alex Aracon (Attachment 1). The Division requires
the prospective successor operator to provide documentation giving the signer, Alex Aracon, the
authority to sign on behalf of GCC Rio Grande, Inc. The authorization document may be in the
form of by-laws, resolution, affidavit signed by corporate secretary, certified secretary
statement of a notarized statement on company letterhead.
GCC Response: See Attachment 1 for the resolution allowing Alex Alarcon the authority to sign on
behalf of GCC Rio Grande Inc.
3. Completed Affidavits of Authority(Attachment 2) are needed for Alex Aracon and Andres
Osuna for signing the Performance and Financial Warranties.
GCC Response: See Attachment 2 for the completed Affidavits of Authority for both Alex Alarcon and
Andes Osuna.
4. During SO-2 in 2020 for the Cedarwood Clay Mine it was determined there were three
structures within 200 feet of the affected land boundary, a road along the southwestern
portion of the permit that services rural residential homes, an abandoned waterline in the same
area as the road and a four-strand barbed wire fence along the south and east permit
boundary. New structure agreements are required for these structures. Please provide a list of
