Re: Lamar East Pit, Permit No. M- 1977 -572, Succession of Operators Approval,
Revision No. SO -1
Dear John. Sutherland, Jr.:
On June 21, 2013, the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety approved the succession of operators
from Valco Inc. to City of Lamar for this operation. City of Lamar is now the permitted operator of the
Lamar East Pit, and as such, is responsible for all provisions in M- 1977 -572, as well as those specified in the
Rules and Regulations. Valco Inc. 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 estimated reclamation liability for the Lamar East Pit, has been waived for government entities.
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,
Tyler V. O'Donnell
Environmental Protection Specialist
