Pioneer Farm—S01 30 January 2023 Page 2 of 3 Prospective Successor. Numerous sites listed have been incorrectly identified as being permitted to Holcim-WCR, Inc. The pits in question appear to have requested Transfer of Operator in January of 2023. These permitting actions are in progress and have not been completed. Please update the list to indicate permits held by Holcim-WCR, Inc. and to indicate those permits requested to be transferred but not yet complete. 5. No new structure agreements were provided. A review of recent aerial imagery for the site indicates there are structures within 200 feet of the permit boundary, which is concurrent with affected land boundary, for the site. Structure agreements are required where the affected lands are within two hundred (200)feet of any significant, valuable and permanent man-made structure. The applicant shall: a. provide a notarized agreement between the Applicant and the Person(s) having an interest in the structure, that the Applicant is to provide compensation for any damage to the structure; or b. where such an agreement cannot be reached, the Applicant shall provide an appropriate engineering evaluation that demonstrates that such structure shall not be damaged by activities occurring at the mining operation; or c. where such structure is a utility, the applicant may supply a notarized letter, on utility letterhead, from the owner(s) of the utility that the mining and reclamation activities, as proposed, will have "no negative effect" on their utility. A Structure Agreement template has been provided for your convenience in Attachment 2. 6. The Application did not contain a demonstration of the legal right to enter to perform reclamation activities at the site. All Permittees must provide a description of the basis for legal right of entry to the site and to conduct mining and reclamation pursuant to Rule 6.4.14. To comply with this requirement, the Prospective Successor must demonstrate that he/she/it has obtained a legal right of entry from any and all surface and mineral rights owners in the affected lands, independent of the current Permittee. Demonstration may be a copy of an access lease, deed, abstract of title, current tax receipt, or a signed and notarized statement by the property owners stating that the Prospective Successor has a legal right to enter. Please respond to the items above by the decision date 31 March 2023. All completed permit documents are required to be submitted for consideration of your Request for Transfer of Mineral Permit and Succession of Operators Application. If additional time is needed to respond, an extension request must be received by our Office by the decision date. If on the decision date, outstanding items remain, and no extension request has been received, your application will be denied and the file terminated. The Division reserves the right to further supplement this document with additional items and details as necessary.
