This reclamation-only permit was required to be submitted to the Division, complete for filing purposes,by April 25, 2109 as part of the corrective action contained in the Mined Land Reclamation Board (MLRB) Order for violation MV-2018-038. Division review of the information received determined that the application is still incomplete, and you have failed to comply with the Board Order for MV-2018-038. The following items must be received before the Division can consider your application as being filed and technical review can begin: EXHIBIT D-Reclamation Plan (Rule 6.3.4)(1)(f): All Limited Impact 110 applications must provide an estimate of the actual costs to reclaim the site based on what it would cost the state using an independent contractor to complete reclamation. Include the unit costs for the following activities as appropriate to the operation: backfilling, grading, topsoil application, seeding, mulching, fertilization, and labor to complete reclamation. Determine and specify the point during the operation when the site has reached a point of maximum disturbance. The cost to reclaim the site to the specifications of the Reclamation Plan at this point must be estimated. Unit costs(cost per cubic yard), volumes, haul or push distances, and grades must be included when backfilling and grading is part of the Reclamation Plan. Volume and unit costs for finish grading, subsoil and topsoil application must be provided in terms of cost per cubic yard. The estimated cost for fertilizer, seed and mulch acquisition and application must be provided as cost per acre. Entering all zeros in the provided form is insufficient—although the Division feels some limited surface grading will likely be required,you will need to include, at a minimum,the cost to reseed the disturbed area with the selected seed mix. EXHIBIT F-List of Other Permits and Licenses Required (Rule 6.3.6): Provide a statement identifying which of the following permits, licenses and approvals which are held or will be sought in order to conduct the proposed mining and reclamation operations: effluent discharge permits, air quality emissions permits,radioactive source materials licenses, disposal of dredge and fill material -6v_C04 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, CO 80203 P 303.866.3567 F 303.832.8106 http://mimng.state.co.us I 7 Jared S.
