Re: Pope Pit No 2, Permit No. M-1986-101, Succession of Operators Approval, Revision No. SO-2
Dear Ms. Reeves:
On July 10, 2008, the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety approved the succession of operators from Walter T.
Pope to Walter T. Pope, Inc. for this operation. Walter T. Pope, Inc. is now the permitted operator of the Pope Pit No 2,
and as such, is responsible for all provisions in M-1986-101, as well as those specified in the Rules and Regulations.
Walter T. Pope 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.
i
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 liability amount of $17,047.00 for the Pope Pit No 2, when added to the existing liability amount of
$12,800.00, exceeds the performance bond held. If you have not already done so, please submit additional bond in the
amount of $17,047.00. If bond increased, this needs to be sent certified.
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 at [phone].
