Elliott Russell <br />Colorado Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />April 20, 2017 <br />Hi Elliott, <br />Reviewed the pre-operation cost estimates (2013) for the Ace in the Hole M-2013-056 and the Godsend <br />M-2013-040. Original estimate for revegetation work was $1099.56 (job hours 4.0) for broadcast <br />seeding two acres. Currently only portions of each one acre site are disturbed and reseeded. <br />Current estimate for revegetation of each one acre site would be approximately $550.00 <br />(job hours 2.0) or one half the original estimate. The new estimate might actually be less than that <br />amount as current disturbances total much less that .25 acre each. Even at .25 acres the estimate would <br />be $137.50 per claim. Factoring in the total disturbances being actually less than .25 acre would further <br />lower the estimate. Possible cost increases since 2013 would then raise the estimate per site. <br />If current disturbed sites require reseeding, cost estimate would be at least $150.00 per claim. <br />Your office might have more recent standard fees for broadcast seeding per acre than the original 2013 <br />estimate. <br />Let us know if any further information is required. <br />Thank you again for taking the time to answer all of our questions. <br />Sincerely,Aak-&� <br />i <br />Rich Fretterd, 719-687-0671 <br />Jean Cowman, 719-314-8945 <br />
