Back with the 2013 ARR, Colowyo questioned whether or not requesting <br /> the reporting of Phase III bond released acreage is within the Division's jurisdiction and incorrectly removed those <br /> acreages from the ARR reporting. The reported acreages were then carried through with the next ARRs. Moving forward <br /> with the inception of our new ARR form as well as working closely with Colowyo in regards to acreage reporting, acreage <br /> discrepancies have been corrected and should be reported accurately with the 2018 ARR. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> On Tue, Jan 15, 2019 at 4:50 PM KENT GORHAM <gorham18@comcast.net> wrote: <br /> Hi Zach, <br /> Not sure if you are the lead on the Colowyo mine or not but if not, please forward to the <br /> appropriate party. <br /> As a result of researching reclamation issues, I have a question regarding the values reported on <br /> the latest Colowyo ARR report form (2017 and continuing back as far as 2013). <br /> Under the heading "for the entire life-of-mine, the total number of acres disturbed....". Why is this <br /> value reported exactly the same as the current number of disturbed (bonded) acres. Should this <br /> number not be the TOTAL number of acres that the mine disturbed over its entire life? As I <br /> always understood it, this value reports the cumulative total of ALL acres disturbed by the mine <br /> since inception, irrespective of bonded status. So, in my understanding, this value should be the <br /> current total of the disturbed (bonded) acres plus the Phase III released acres. <br /> I note that Trapper Mine reports their acres in the way I described. <br /> Please advise or correct my understanding. Expediency is not required. <br /> Thank you! <br /> https://mail.google.com/mail/b/AN50xKOKJ ROCsWaEnKNoaNi le8rnVdY8EGJbj5W5_to7gHAFsFyx/u/O?ik=deb7fOcd20&view=pt&search=all&permthi... 1/2 <br />
