INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM <br />TO: ROB ZUBER <br />FROM: JANET BINNS <br />SUBJECT: NORTHFIELD RECLAMATION COST ESTIMATE <br />2014 UPDATED COSTS <br />DATE: 7/29/2014 <br />ATTACHMENT: 2014 UPDATED COSTS RCE <br />CC: DAN HERNANDEZ <br />Please find the attached Reclamation Cost Estimate RCE) for the Northfield Mine application. <br />This RCE reflects updated costs for the currently approved application, last revised March 17, 2010, <br />with the approval of TR-01. I did not review the reclamation tasks or re-evaluate the equipment <br />choices. The last update to the RCE was conducted January 25, 2012. At that time Northfield <br />Partners had indicated that they would be submitting a bond. Submittal of a bond in early 2012 <br />failed to occur, so the Division did not provide the updated 2012 costs to the permittee at that time. <br />Recently, July 14, 2014, representatives for Northfield Partners contacted the Division regarding <br />potential activity regarding the Northfield Mine application. Ms. Bellantoni asked if the 2012 <br />Reclamation Cost Estimate was current. The Division informed Ms. Bellantoni that the Division <br />would update the estimate to reflect 2014 costs. <br />I updated the RCE using the DRMS CIRCES estimating program, and used the same format and <br />tasks that were used for the 2012 RCE. Please forward this updated RCE to the permittee. Please let <br />me know if you have any questions. <br /> <br /> <br />
