The report <br /> contains all the information required by Rule 2.04.13(1) and (2), and The Division found the <br /> application complete on 24 March 2021. Field verification of the 2020 backfilled and graded topography <br /> of the 202 Oreclamation as per Map 1 submitted with the ARR was not conducive during the April 2021 <br /> inspection due to the saturated conditions of the reclamation. Therefore,DRMS verified the topography <br /> by comparing the currently approved post mining topography(PMT),of Map M12,with Mapl submitted <br /> with the ARR. Field verification will occur at either Phase I bond release or in the next ARR cycle. <br /> DRMS's process is illustrated below in Map I. <br /> Bond release inspections for SL 21 Phase I (298.3 acres), and SL 22 Phase II (175.0 acres),releases <br /> took place on 13 October 2020. For these bond releases, decisions were issued in January 2021. <br /> Bond release request SL20 was initiated in August of 2019 and issued in June of 2020 for 162.1 <br /> acres of Phase III reclamation. Therefore, during 2020, Trapper received one bond release approval <br /> for 162.1 acres. <br /> 20 April DRMS: <br /> DRMS notes that Trapper Inc. incorporated bond release acreages issued in 2021 into the DRMS ARR <br /> form. The decisions issued for SL21 and SL22 should be incorporated into the 2021 acres of reclamation <br /> released not the 2020 acres of reclamation released. <br /> 1. Please update the form to reflect only decisions issued in 2020; the SL20 Phase III reclamation <br /> released. <br /> The Reclamation Summary Table;Table 1.1 of Section 1, summarizes all reclamation activities achieved in 2020. <br /> The report indicated that disturbance totaling 271.5 in the form of topsoil stripping occurred. <br /> OF COlO <br /> n O <br /> 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, CO 80203 P 303.866.3567 F 303.832.8106 http://mining.state.co.us * <br /> Jared S.
