Re: Circle Dot Quarry, 110C Application No. M-2007-067
Dear Ms. Dahlgren:
The following is submitted in answer to Garfield County's question concerning
ownership of surface rock and gravel pertaining to the lands described in the above-
referenced Application.
Marathon Oil Company ("Marathon") entered into a contract with Berry
Petroleum Company ("Berry") to acquire an ownership interest in the surface of various
lands, including among others, Lots 23 and 24 of Section 1, Township 6 South, Range 97
West of the 6th P.M., Garfield County, Colorado ("Lands"), which are the subject of the
above referenced rock crushing Application. It is our understanding Garfield County
has been provided with Berry's concurrence to the above-referenced Application. Based
upon the title information obtained, the surface was severed from the minerals when a
reservation of "all minerals in and under the above described lands" wa-* made in a
Warranty Deed dated December 9,7963, between Redd Ranches, as grantor, and Robert
Latham and John Latham, as grantees, which was recorded on December 20, 1.963, rn
Book 355 at Page 5 (Reception No.223760). A copy of this December 9,7963 Warranty
Deed is enclosed.
