RE: Parsons Mine - Structures Agreement
Dear Dana:
I am writing on behalf of Lafarge West, Inc. regarding the Parsons Mine application for
sand and gravel mining located south of County Road 64 % adjacent to your property.
Lafarge West, Inc. is in the process of permitting the Parsons Mine through the Division
of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (DRMS) and Weld County. As part of the
entitlement process,( Section 6.3.12 Mineral Rules and Regulations of the Colorado
Mined Land Reclamation Board for Extraction of Construction Materials - Exhibit L -
Permanent Man-Made Structures), the DRMS requires the following:
"Where the mining operation will adversely affect the stability of any significant,
valuable and permanent man-made structure located within two hundred (200) feet of the
affected land, the Applicant shall either.
(a) Provide a notarized agreement between the Applicant and the Person(s)
having an interest in the structure, that the Applicant is to provide
compensation for any damage to the structure;
or
(b) Where such an agreement cannot be reached, the Applicant shall provide an
appropriate engineering evaluation that demonstrates that such structure shall
not be damaged by activities occurring at the mining operation."
Item (b) refers to the Stability Analysis for the Parsons Mine that has been completed and
is enclosed herein. In total, I have attached the following documents for your review:
• Two original documents entitled "AGREEMENT TO MINE WITHIN 200 FEET
OF PERMANENT MANMADE STRUCTURES".
• A copy of the slope Stability Analysis for the Parson's Mine prepared by Deere
and Ault Consultants, Inc.;
• A 24 in. x 36 in. map identifying the location of structures within the overall
project;
• An overall project Mining (Extraction) Map
• An overall project Reclamation Plan Map
