Specifically, the <br />pond is located in the NW/4NE/4 of Section 25, Township 5 North, Range 87W of the <br />6th P.M., Routt County, Colorado. Cross Mountain understands that Colorado Yampa <br />Coal Company (CYCC) is requesting Phase III bond release for its Mine 2 area upon <br />which the pond is located. Once the release is approved CYCC would be required to <br />remove the pond and ditch unless alternate provisions are made to retain the pond. <br />• - Cross MounEairi, as the surface owner,.requeststh~t Pond M be retained after Phase III <br />bond release. <br />Cross Mountain runs cattle on this and surrounding parcels and views retention of the <br />pond as beneficial to its operation. The pond has the ability to hold water for a <br />majority of the grazing season and this will help in distributing the cattle over our <br />property. Cross Mountain will be responsible for obtaining any necessary permits <br />through the State Engineers office for this pond. <br />This Letter can be submitted to the Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology in <br />support of the mine's application to retain Fond M after receiving Phase III bond <br />release. <br />If there is anything further assistance you need on this matter please feel free to <br />contact me at your convenience. <br />Sincerely, <br />Cross Mountain Ranch Limited Partnership <br />By: Cross Mountain Ranch Corporation <br />Its: General Partner <br />;5:-~~~~-,~- <br />By: Kathryn S.
