t,~ <br />May 17, 1999 <br />Richard Mills <br />Twentymile Coal Company <br />29515 Routt County Road 27 <br />Oak: Creek, Colorado 80467 <br />RE: Camilletti And Sons Inc. Ranch Operations <br />Dear Mr. Mills: <br />~, <br />On behalf of Camilletti and Sons, I am familiar with Twentymile's proposed mining operation in sections <br />10 and 15 of TSN, R86W and have reviewed the plans for impacts to our ranching operation. The <br />property that we own in these sections along Fish Creek is not flood irrigated nor does it have the <br />potential to be flood irrigated due to the narrowness of the valley. The area is undeveloped rangeland, and <br />no special productive value is affixed to this land. <br />In and around the area Camilletti and Sons controls approximately 920 acres in the immediate area, <br />approximately 3,500 acres in T6N, R86W and approximately 1040 acres in T7N, R86W. These lands <br />have been in the Ranch's control for 10 years or longer. From the work performed by your consultant it <br />appears approximately 12 acres will be flooded, which represents about 1 % of the 920 acres in the <br />immediate area of the mine. This is not considered to be significant to the economic viability of the ranch. <br />Frorn the Ranch's perspective there is no potential to develop this area to increase its productivity due to <br />the narrowness of the areas. It is not feasible to construct any flood irrigation system for this area. It will <br />continue to be managed as in the past, undeveloped rangeland. <br />If you would like to meet to further discuss this letter please give me a call. <br />Sincerely, <br />Frank Camilletti <br />President <br />
