In <br />your letter you expressed three points of concern the answers to which are set forth <br />below: <br />Legal right of entry. Alpine Rock Co ("ARC") initially obtained the above DMG <br />permit for real property under a lease agreement with B A& B Mining. <br />Subsequent to that time B & B Mining transferred ownership in the property to <br />Summit County and the Town of Breckinridge. From the time of initial DMG <br />permitting to the present date ARC has undertaken some extraction of material <br />from the site. The level of extraction has been very modest due to prevailing <br />market conditions. <br />ARC is currently in negotiations with the present owners to extract material from <br />the site. The current owners, as local government entities, are still researching the <br />timing of need for material. There aze few other sources of structural material in <br />the area, the need exists but quite frankly the owners are moving at a glacial pace <br />in making any determination as to the future use of the land. <br />Anohter issue raised was the presence of Everist Materials, LLC ("Everist") on <br />the DMG permitted site. The original DMG permit to ARC covered <br />approximately 352 acres. There were and still are several separate owners of the <br />permitted land. Since the original issuance of the ARC DMG permit the owners <br />have transferred their ownership in the subject permitted azea. One of the current <br />owners has entered into an extraction agreement with Everist, which subsequently <br />obtained i[s own and overlapping DMG permit. A question of who is responsible <br />for reclamation and at what level of the Everist extraction area arose. ARC would <br />like to learn how the DMG would view a written acceptance of responsibility, at <br />the same level of ARC's DMG permit, by Everist. This same question is posed <br />SAND GRAVEL CONCRETE COMMERCIAL PAVING <br />
