RE: Heintzelman Project (Pit 116); DRMS File No. M-2009-018; October 4, 2010 Meeting
Summary
Dear Mr. Varra,
This letter is being sent to summarize the meeting held on October 4, 2010 at the Heintzelman
Project - Pit 116 (Heintzelman). The meeting was attended by Michael Cunningham and Tony
Waldron of the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (Division). Also in attendance were
Chris Varra, Garret Varra, Brad Janes, and Brad Jones of Varra, Inc. The meeting was held to
discuss the proposed conveyor route, which would extend north from the Heintzelman site to the
Kurtz Resource Recovery and Land Development Project (Kurtz), DRMS File No. M-1999-006.
The proposed conveyor route would also cross through the affected area of the Nix Sand &
Gravel Mine (Nix), operated by Ready Mix Concrete Company, DRMS File No. M-2001-046.
Based on the discussion with Varra, Inc. and observations made in the field, the Division has
determined the proposed conveyor route will require the following submittals:
Nix Sand & Gravel Mine:
The Operator shall submit a request for an acreage release pursuant to Rule 4.14.1, to release
the portion of the permit area along the west side of the permit boundary, through which the
conveyor will run. The request should include a map which depicts the legal description of
the area to be released. In addition, the submittal should include Mining and Reclamation
Plan Maps showing the location of the revised permit boundary and the revised location of
the reservoir(s).
In accordance with Rule 6.4.19, both Ready Mix Concrete Company and Varra, Inc. shall
provide a notarized agreement stating that should either mining operation adversely affect the
stability of any significant, valuable and permanent man-made structure within the other's
permit area, up to a distance of 200 feet from where the permit boundary meets, that
compensation shall be provided by the responsible permittee.
