I discussed this area with our District Manager, and we <br /> o not have significant concerns about this area for the following reasons: <br /> 1. It seemed to be an anomaly, and was not representative of the reclaimed area. <br /> 2. There were some, "good" grasses and sagebrush observed in the area as well. <br /> 3. It appeared to be confined to a limited area. <br /> The Land Board defers to DRMS to enforce all rules and regulations that apply regarding the Phase III bond release that <br /> Colowyo has requested. The Land Board would not object to releasing this area solely due to the presence of <br /> ceatgrass, if DRMS believes that all requirements have been met for such release. <br /> Regards, Phil <br /> Phillip Courtney <br /> Solid Minerals Leasing Manager <br /> P 303.866.3454 x3313 I F 303.866.3152 <br /> 1127 Sherman Street, Suite 300, Denver, CO 80203 <br /> phillip.courtney@state.co.us I www.colorado.gov/statelandboard <br /> Zach Trujillo <br /> Environmental Protection Specialist <br /> COLORADO <br /> Division of Reclamation, <br /> A17 Mining and safety <br /> Department of Nd,JLVW Resources <br /> P 303.866.3567 x 8164 1 F 303.832.8106 <br /> 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, CO 80203 <br /> Zach.Trujillo@state.co.us ( mining.state.co.us <br /> https://mail.google.com/mail/b/AJjsLraKOJKCzBuh5_8fG0420ywm84r4mAcKj-n6nfVhur_9MrLT/u/O/?ui=2&ik=deb7fOcd20&jsver=z3kHg2VWLDs.en.&v... 1/1 <br />
