(Tri-State), is the parent <br />company to Axial Basin Coal Company, which is the general partner to Colowyo Coal <br />Company L.P. (Colowyo). Therefore, Tri-State received your adequacy letter dated <br />November 16, 2017 and is providing the response below to your adequacy concern on behalf <br />of Colowyo. The Colowyo Mine operates under Permit No. C-1981-019. <br />The Division has reviewed its original cost estimate and agree with Colowyo's <br />material amount of 222 LCY is more accurate for the regrade work necessary to <br />reclaim the CWD-5 Ditch. As part of the review, the Division discovered that the <br />cost for reseeded the 0.5 acres of disturbance associated with the CWD-5 ditch <br />was accidentally omitted and now has been included in the RCE. The total value <br />of this estimate is $904.35 (see attached cost estimate). The Division respectfully <br />requests a response from Colowyo with any questions regarding the cost estimate <br />or an acceptance of the Division's estimate. <br />Response: The revised reclamation cost estimate for TR -114 has been reviewed, and <br />Tri-State on behalf of Colowyo concurs with the increase of $904.35. <br />If you should have any additional questions or concerns please feel free to contact <br />Tony Tennyson at (970) 824-1232 or ttennyson(&tristategt.org. <br />DJC:TT:der <br />Enclosure <br />AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY/AFFIRMATIVEACnON EMPLOYER <br />A Touchstone EnergrCooperative <br />Sincerely, <br />Daniel J.
