Connell Resources is in the process of obtaining a Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (DRMS) permit for the mining of aggregate materials in Weld County. The mining will include excavation to maximum depths of about 25 feet below the ground surface and reclamation will involve grading and revegetation to create stable slopes for rangeland.

To protect your interests in the structure, Connell Resources is offering an agreement that provides Poudre Valley REA compensation for structure damage. A signed and notarized agreement is attached. Mine planning has established appropriate setbacks from mining excavations to adjacent structures, including those owned by Poudre Valley REA, and Connell Resources does not anticipate any structure damages. However, to ensure your interests are protected, we request that you please consider the Structure Agreement enclosed. If you choose to complete the Structure Agreement,please have a representative of your organization sign and return a copy of the agreement to us for our records.
