This is a reduction of $85,620.00. This decision reduces the <br />amount of the financial warranty, and does not approve any release of reclamation responsibility for the <br />tasks associated with this request. <br />Please contact your bank to have your current Financial Warranty reduced, or submit a new Financial <br />Warranty reflecting this reduction. If you wish to submit a different type of Financial Warranty, please <br />contact our office for the applicable form. For questions regarding the Financial Warranty, please contact <br />Barbara Coria at (303)866 -3567 x8148. <br />If you have additional questions regarding this revision, please contact me at (303)866 -3567 x8116. <br />Sincerely, <br />Michael A.
