<br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br /> <br />September 24, 2014 <br /> <br /> <br />Scott Wanstedt <br />Blue Mountain Energy, Inc <br />3607 County Road 65 <br />Rangely, CO 81648 <br /> <br /> <br />Re: Deserado Mine (Permit No. C-1981-018) <br /> <br /> Minor Revision 161 (MR-161) <br /> Adequacy Review <br /> <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Scott Wanstedt: <br /> <br />The Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (Division) has received the Blue <br />Mountain Energy, Inc. (BME) submittal of Minor Revision 161 for the Deserado Mine. The <br />revision was received on September 9, 2014 and deemed completed on September 15, 2014. MR- <br />161 proposes to add and reroute nitrogen pipeline to include service from the recently approved <br />Nitrogen Plant #2. It was observed by the Division that an error existed for total amount of pipeline <br />bonded for. Currently, the Division has accounted and estimated for a total of 5,971 LF of nitrogen <br />pipe. With this revision, BME has proposed that with the additional nitrogen pipeline proposed with <br />MR-161, the total pipeline should amount to 43,000 LF (36,000 LF of 3 and 4 and 7,000 LF of <br />2). The Divisions cost estimate took the difference between the actual amount of 43,000 LF and <br />the 5,971 LF accounted for by the Division. It should noted, that the cost to reclaim 2, 3 and 4 <br />polyethylene pipe is the same according to section 02 41 13.5 of the RSMeans Site Work & <br />Landscape Cost Data 2014 (see attachment). The Division has the following comment: <br /> <br />Rule 3.02.2 Determination of Bond Amount <br /> <br /> <br />1.The Division has performed a cost estimate for the addition of a second nitrogen plant. The <br />total value of this estimate is $74,198.16 (see attached cost estimate). <br />estimate is consistent with previous cost estimates approved by both the Division and BME. <br />The Division respectfully requests a response from BME with any questions regarding the <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, CO 80203P 303.866.3567 F 303.832.8106 http://mining.state.co.us <br /> <br />John W.
