(Colowyo), the Division has the <br />following comment: <br />1. The Division has performed a reclamation cost estimate for the disturbances associated with the <br />realignment of the Collom Haul Road, raw water pipeline, two new sediment ponds, access roads, and <br />topsoil stockpile. The Division has already calculated the bond for the majority of disturbances <br />discussed in TR -108 through previous revisions and the change in liability is for the additional <br />disturbances proposed under TR -108. The total value of this estimate is $2,218,125.05 (see attached <br />cost estimate). Included with the TR -108 RCE, is the cost breakdown for Exhibit 13C. The Exhibit <br />13C cost breakdown is not the change in liability associated with TR -108 but all tasks associated with <br />the exhibit. Additionally, it came to the Division's attention that regrade work had not been previously <br />calculated for spoil and topsoil for the Collom Haul Road and so the Division has included those costs <br />with the TR -108 RCE. The Division's cost estimate is consistent with previous cost estimates approved <br />by both the Division and Colowyo. The Division respectfully requests a response from Colowyo with <br />any questions regarding the cost estimate or an acceptance of the Division's estimate. <br />If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at any time. <br />Sincerely, <br />Zach Trujillo <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />o_ F' Colo <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, C080203 P 303.866.3567 F 303.832.8106 http://mining.state.co.us <br />John W.
