On behalf of Snowstorm Sand and Gravel, LLC, (Property Owner/Lessor) and Everist
Materials, LLC, (Operator/Lessee), we are responding to the Inspection and Corrective
Action Report, dated April 9`h, 2007, and requesting an extension to the deadline for
compliance. Asper said report, the Division of Reclamation and Mining Safety (DBMS)
has required the mazking of the mining permit boundary and the affected area boundary
on the Snowstorm Placer, by May 3151, 2007.
As we discussed in our meeting with you on May 8, 2007, the affected area boundary has
never been surveyed nor has a legal description been created for this boundary. The
DBMS mining permit file includes ahand-drawn boundary of the affected area from
approximately 1998. We are requesting that our client be allowed to mark the affected
area boundary, during the upcoming Amendment process versus completing this action
now, due to the enormous expense and time needed to mark this boundary. Additionally,
due to issues with weather and other commitments, we are requesting that an extension of
thirty days be granted for the completion of marking the property boundary of this
property to June 30, 2007.
Furthermore, as we discussed, the permit boundary was surveyed in 2004 by Burnett
Surveying of Fairpiay, Colorado, and this survey is included in the DBMS mining permit
file. However, the 2004 survey and legal description are not the same as the permit
boundary in the mining permit. According to conveyance documents for this property, the
mining permit legal description was used to convey the property to the current owner.
The current owner discovered the error and a correction deed was issued, which is the
same as the 2004 survey. Since, the entire property boundary is intended to be the
permitted boundary for the mining permit, this error will be corrected, during the
Amendment process. Additionally, Everist Materials, LLC, has committed to the
