Dear Mr. Speer:
In reply to your letter of May, 8, 2024, We will answer your questions then ask some question
that we have.
Burkes Utah Land and Livestock LLC is owned by Jason Godfrey and his father. After the death
of his father Jason is the owner of Burkes Utah Land and Livestock LLC. Jason and his wife own
Bravo Land Company LLC. It is our understanding that Cache County Parcel Number 15-002-
0001 was included in Bravo Land Company’s permit application.
Bravo Land Company LLC’s operator Innovative Food Specialists contracted with Dairy Way
Transport LLC to haul and apply wash water and other permitted waste.
The pictures of the ruts is from the spring of 2023. They occurred when a truck pulled into the
field to unload and sunk in the soft soil before they could get to the unloading area. Kelly Shaw
saw these ruts on her annual site visit and was told how they were made and when they would be
repaired. They were repaired shortly after her site visit when the ground dried out sufficient to
hold the equipment up.
The departments letter did not include the date of the alleged infractions nor who reported the
alleged infractions. From where the ruts were, there is no way the any liquid waste would get into
Stink Creek. From the site of the ruts the water flows South not North.
The trailer in the pictures we received May, 14, 2024 has not been in Utah since September 2023.
The pictures of the materials on the ground have no reference point to know where they were
taken.
There are no pictures of the waste water entering Stink Creek.
It is our position that no infraction or unacceptable dumping occurred.
Sincerely
Gilbert Miller
on behave of Bravo Land Company LLC and Innovative Food Specialists LC.
