This <br />map was presented with the 112c Regular Operations Permit Application as prepared by <br />Mr. Lloyd "Buck" Barnhart on July 20, 1998. The roads where included as shown on the <br />map and the permit narrative states in the Reclamation Exhibit "E" that the roads will <br />remain post mining as requested by the lessors. The Reclamation Plan in (a) states the <br />following: <br />(a) DcseriP00 of the type of reelamatlon, reasons, earthmoving related to re&tnatloa. <br />(i) the entire pit area will be reclaimed as rangeland. This use was selected by the landowners as <br />being consistent with the balance of their ownership adjacent to the affected area. However, the <br />applicant does not propose to reclaim areas mined by others in years past. Also, the Lessors have <br />requested that the roads be left unreclaimed for easier access to their grazing areas and possible fire <br />figlift <br />The roads where and are an integral part of this mining project due to the remote location <br />of this parcel of land and the inability to gain access from the westerly direction. The <br />UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR BUREAU OF LAND <br />MANAGEMENT GRANTED A RIGHT OF WAY SERIAL NUMBER COC-61252 to <br />Summit Brick & Tile Company on May 6, 1998 for this mine site (see attachment on <br />FORM 2800-14) issued by the Canon City District. Additionally please see the attached <br />document dated September 25, 2006 from the BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT <br />granting SUMMIT BRICK & TILE company no rental fee for the life of the grant, on <br />RIGHT-OF-WAY COC-61252 for the an exchange of access that the Summit Brick & <br />Tile Company granted to the BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT easement COC- <br />69295FD. The main purpose of this R.O.W. is for fire fighting and rescue operations that <br />may be needed in this remote and rugged area, this is of mutual benefit to both parties.
