COLORADO <br />State Land Board <br />Department of Naturat Resources <br />April 3, 2015 <br />Mr. Timothy A. Cazier <br />Department of Natural Resources <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining Et Safety <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 By Electronic Mail <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />Re: Notice of 110(c) to 112(c) Construction Materials Permit Conversion <br />Pioneer Sand Company, Inc., Phillips Ranch Property Gravel Pit #2 <br />Permit No. M- 2000 -046 - State Land Board Objection <br />of 00A11 IM eA-*S <br />Dear Mr. Cazier: <br />APR 0 6 `11', J <br />DIVISION OF RECLAMATION <br />MINING AND SAFETY <br />Thank you for the notice provided by the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br />regarding the referenced permit conversion application. The State Board of Land <br />Commissioners (Land Board) has reviewed its mineral ownership records in the vicinity <br />of the requested permit expansion and determined that the mineral estate under the <br />portion of the proposed expansion located in the SE '/4, Section 36, T19S, R69W is <br />owned by the State of Colorado. I have attached a map illustrating state mineral <br />ownership in the vicinity of permit conversion application. <br />The surface estate of the above described land was conveyed to John M. Phillips by <br />Patent No. 2555 on January 10, 1910. This patent specifically reserves all minerals to <br />the State of Colorado. A copy of the patent is attached to this letter. <br />The Land Board allows access to minerals for development through mineral leases that <br />must be approved by the Board of Land Commissioners. Current records show that no <br />mineral lease for sand Et gravel is in effect on the lands that are included in the <br />referenced permit conversion application. Until such time as a mineral lease has been <br />fully executed to allow extraction of the sand Et gravel resources owned by the State <br />of Colorado, the Land Board objects to the permit boundary proposed in the <br />conversion application. The process for a mineral lease begins by submitting an <br />application form that is available at http : / /www.trustlands.state.co.us. <br />If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 303 - 866 -3454 ext. <br />3313. <br />Sincere[ , <br />Phillip J.
