Request for Financial Warranty document
Dear Kristine Couch:
On June 10, 2013, the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety approved the succession of operators from Clyde and Marie
Couch to Kristine M Couch for this operation. Kristine M Couch is now the permitted operator of the Caliche School Pit, and as
such, is responsible for all provisions in M -1989 -023, as well as those specified in the Rules and Regulations. Clyde and Marie
Couch 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 liability amount of $42,500.00 for the Caliche School Pit, has been provided in an Irrevocable Letter of Credit issued
by Bank of Colorado. Please provide a Financial Warranty Letter of Credit to complete the Financial Warranty within 60 days of the
date of this letter.
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,
v &4zo. / 4#V
