McGehee Resource Manager Division of Minerals 8 Geology United Companies 618 Dike Road P.O. Box 3609 PE/tMTT No. M-$$-039' Grand Junction, Colorado 81502 Nqp orcdoooL Pf lNon~'rose Counfy Re: Fitts Easement over Proposed Extension of Norwood Gravel Pit Our Ref. No.: 3-FITTS.02-13442-3 Dear Mr. McGehee: As you may recall from my letter to you of February 28, 1997 this office represents the Fitts Family Trust, whose property the above-referenced easement benefits. On May 28, 1997 your company sent Charlene Lane, the Fitts' daughter, a new consent form for use by United Mining with regard to Permit No. M-88-037, Revision No. AM-1 , which is pending with the Colorado Department of National Resources, Division of Mines and Geology. Mrs. Lane has referred that letter to me. When this matter first came [o me, the Fitts' had requested as a condition of signing the requested consent, the reinstatement of the current North South (more or less) easement after the reclamation of the open pit mine extension. However, they will now agree not to require reinstatement of that easement as part of an agreement to waive it now. II is my understanding that there is now an agreement in principal for the Fitts Trust to permanently give up the North South easement, at least the portion North of the property line of the Skeltons' Montrose County property. However, before that agreement can be finalized, and consent actually given, several details between the Fitts', United, and the Skeltons need to be determined. In no particular order, those are: 1. The Fitts want the portion of the easement which goes roughly westerly from the existing easement along the North Boundary of the Southwest quarter of Section 13, Township 45 N, Range 13 West, NMPM to approximately 70 feet South of the West quarter corner of said section to be deeded to them in perpetuity, in exchange for a permanent release (Grant Deed) to the portion of the old easement which crosses the South one-half of the Northwest quarter of said section (ie. the Skeltons' property).
