Cattany Division Director Natural Resource Trustee ,/ +~ Re: Zellitti Pit, Permit No. M-1980-246, Division's Response to Statement o_f Partial_ Ownership of Permitted Land. Dear Mssrs. Newby and Schneider, We are in receipt of your letter dated November 8, 2007, in which you demonstrate that you are authorized to act on behalf of Wilma Zellitti of Zellitti Properties, and which letter contains a statement concerning the ownership of the land in the permit. Your letter states that Zellitti Properties is a 25% owner of said land. The attachment to your letter is a 1981 document showing the sale of real property from Louis Zellitti and Wilma Zellitti to Zellitti Properties. As you are aware, during the life of this permit there have been several modifications to it, some of which required providing proof of land ownership and legal right-of-entry. Also, as you are aware, the Division allows various forms of proof of ownership, that, because we do not have the capability or authority to perform research of county records or land title, we must accept if the applicant or permitted operator submits such as fact in a signed and notarized document. Up through the 1994 permit conversion, Louis Zellitti was included in the listed landowners. It appears in the permit file that during the course of several more changes over the succeeding years, that the names of Louis Zellitti and Zellitti Properties ceased to appear as one of the named owners of the land. We accepted that as factual, and did not require any form of proof showing that Louis Zellitti and/or Zellitti Properties had sold their interest in the land. We have placed your statement asserting your partial ownership, as well as this response letter, in the permit file. If you obtain current documents from the county that show Wilma Zellitti and/or Zellitti Properties to be an owner of the permitted land, we ask that you provide such to this office, in hopes that the additional, current ownership record will Office of Office of Mined Land Reclamation Active and Inactive Mines
