RPM,Inc. <br /> October 21, 2021 <br /> Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br /> Attn: Mr. Patrick Lennberg <br /> 1313 Sherman St, Rm 215 <br /> Denver, CO 80203 <br /> Re: Surety Reduction, Pueblo West Pit, File No. M1977-573 <br /> Dear Mr. Lennberg, <br /> Attached for your review is a Surety Reduction request for the Pueblo West Pit. To the best of <br /> our knowledge, we have completed all required reclamation except for the following: <br /> • Site weed control, to include: <br /> ➢ Noxious weed control, in particular salt cedar and Russian olive. <br /> ➢ Non-noxious weed control, kocha. <br /> • The Wildlife Island is excess topsoil. We considered excess topsoil a salable product. We <br /> have a limited time to sell the excess topsoil. If we cannot sell all the excess topsoil, we <br /> will apply the excess topsoil to the areas needing interseeding. <br /> • Seedbed preparation prior to interseeding. We estimate the total area available for <br /> interseeding is about 38.4 acres. This includes the entire site and does not remove the <br /> areas where prior seeding has established. <br /> • Drill interseeding with the approved seed mix <br /> • The application of two (2) tons of a weed free straw per acre and crip in two directions. <br /> We request$243,323.00 of the $343,323.00 reclamation financial warranty be released. We <br /> estimate the remaining $100,000.00 will be sufficient to complete the site reclamation in the <br /> unlikely event the Board would need to complete site reclamation. <br /> Please contact me if you have any questions. <br /> respectfully, <br /> V <br /> H.
