I've been leasing a gravel pit since the 70's. The leases were always 5-year terms and always renewed. The gravel in this pit is under water and must be mined out a year in advance before it is sold. On January 1, 2008, my lease with the owner is up. He wants to sell the property and will not let me sell the gravel I already mined. To mine this gravel, it cost me about $2.00 per yard. I have 50,000 +or- yards mined. The owner never gave me any notice of his intentions not to renew the lease until I got a letter from his attorney at the beginning of December 2007. Can I file a lien for the $100,000 I have into the mining of the gravel as land improvements?
