<br />Re: Coal Exploration File No. X-2012-223-11
<br />Bond Release No. 1 (SL -1)
<br />Dear Mr. Kiger:
<br />The Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety is proposing to Approve the partial release of
<br />coal exploration reclamation bond liability for Notice of Intent No. X-2011-223-11. Bond was submitted to
<br />cover reclamation costs associated with exploration drill holes in Delta County. An inspection showed
<br />that all holes have been adequately abandoned and associated disturbances have been reclaimed with the
<br />exception of revegetation associated with Sites OM -12-35, OM -13-30, OM -13-18, OM -13-32, OM -13-13, and
<br />OM -12-27. The revegetation reclamation liability at each site for a total of seven sites will remain. The
<br />Division currently holds a Corporate Surety in the amount of $386,931.17 of which the Division approves
<br />the release of $383,089.27 under SL -1. $3,841.90 is being held after the approval of SL -1 for revegetation
<br />and weed management costs. This release represents a partial bond release of $383,089.27.
<br />The legal description for the project is as follows:
<br />Portions of Sections 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 23, 24, 25, 26, 35 and 36, Township 13 South, Range 93 West;
<br />Portions of Sections 7, 8, 9, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 28, 29, and 30, Township 13 South, Range 92
<br />West.
<br />Any person with an interest which may be adversely affected by this proposed decision may submit
<br />written comments to the Division at the address below within 30 days of publication of this proposed
<br />decision in the The Delta County Independent.
<br />If you have any questions, please feel free to call.
