Everist, Incorporated (L.G. Everist or LGE), as Permittee/Operator respectfully submits this Acreage Release <br /> Request for release of 1.95 acres from the DRMS Permit# M-2020-007, Ragsdale Reservoirs. Please note that <br /> we are not requesting any surety (financial) release. <br /> The 1.95 acres of land for which we are requesting release is owned by Platte Valley Irrigation Company (PVIC), <br /> and is a portion of their Parcel 130919000036. The 1.95 acres is generally located in the southwestern tip of the <br /> of the Ragsdale Reservoirs mine permit area (see attached Exhibit C -Current Conditions Map, dated Mar-2020). <br /> PVIC has requested that this 1.95 acres be released from the Ragsdale DRMS permit. The land was not included <br /> in the Weld County permit, per PVIC's request, and has not been disturbed by the mining operation. With this <br /> DRMS acreage release, the state and county permit areas will completely match, which simplifies mapping and <br /> permit boundary marking. <br /> Because the 1.95 acres of land has not been disturbed by mining, there is no reclamation needed. For a visual of <br /> the requested acreage release change, please see the attached revised Vicinity Map and Pre-Mining Map, <br /> showing the release area, and revised permit area. <br /> We have notified the landowner, Platte Valley Irrigation Company, of this Acreage Release Request. We are <br /> including the Notice and Acknowledgement Letter which Kevin W. Schmidt, Board President of Platte Valley <br /> Irrigation Company, has signed acknowledging that they would like this land removed from the DRMS permit. <br /> After reviewing this request and attachments, if you have any questions or need anything else to process this <br /> Acreage Release Request, please contact me at 303-514-2778 or Imshults@Igeverist.com. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> a4A444,-s <br /> ayer Shults <br /> Regulatory Manager <br /> cc: Matthew S.
