Re: Pioneer Mine, Permit No. M-1977-252, Succession of Operators Approval, Revision No. SO-1
Dear Mr. Fabrizio:
On October 20, 2008, the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety approved the succession of operators from
Robinson Brick Company to General Shale Brick, Inc. for this operation. General Shale Brick, Inc. is now the permitted
operator of the Pioneer Mine, and as such, is responsible for all provisions in M-1977-252, as well as those specified in
the Rules and Regulations. Robinson Brick Company is relieved of all responsibilities concerning this operation.
Please Note:
1. All of the application materials, as amended and supplemented, are in integral part of your permit. They have
been incorporated into the permit by reference. We presume that you have a copy of all of these materials, therefore,
none have been enclosed with this mailing. We suggest that you keep a copy of the permit and the permit application at
the mining operation as a reference for operation personnel, to help ensure compliance with the terms of the permit.
2. Changes in the mining and reclamation operations that differ from those described in the permit may require a
modification to the permit. We suggest consulting the Rules and Regulations and/or contacting us to determine if a
modification to the permit is necessary. Rule 1.10 pertains to Amendments, Rule 1.9 to Technical Revisions, and Rule
1.11 to Conversions.
3. On your permit anniversary date each year, you must submit an annual fee and annual report to us. Please
consult the Rules, Act, and your permit for specific requirements.
The transfer of this permit does not result in the transfer of any other permits or licenses, with this Division, the State,
or Federal Agency, which might be associated with this operation.
If you have any questions, contact me.
Sincerely,
David A. Bird
