RE: Acknowledgement of Landowner - Approval of Reclamation for French property section of
Lohmann Sand & Gravel, DRMS Permit # M-2001-017
Dear Mr. and Mrs. French:
L.G. Everist, Inc. is requesting complete and final release of the French property section of the Lohmann
Sand and Gravel mine, Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety (DRMS) Permit M-2001-017.
As you know, in June 2010, the DRMS approved a Technical Revision to revise the reclamation plan, and
the Division also approved a financial warranty reduction due to the majority of the reclamation being
completed - the SEO-approved lining, the backfilling and sloping, and the seeding for final vegetation.
The only thing remaining for final reclamation and release was substantial and sustainable vegetation.
The property was seeded and has had substantial growth. Unfortunately, a lot of vegetation was disked
by Mr. French this spring. The amount of sustainable vegetation growth that is usually acceptable to the
DRMS prior to final release could take at least another year.
However, L.G. Everist has spoken to the DRMS and requested release of your land, knowing that you
would like to have control over it again. The DRMS may approve release if you, Mr. and Mrs. French,
landowners of the property for which we are asking for release, will acknowledge by your signatures at
the bottom of this letter that the amount of vegetation currently on the property is acceptable as is to you
and that you would like to have the property released from the state mine permit.
Please note that once we receive approval from the DRMS, we will still have to request release of your
property from the Weld County USR permit.
If you have any questions, please contact Lynn Mayer Shults - telephone is 303-286-2247, and email is
[e-mail].
