Cumulative total for Phase II and phase III bond released acres are incorrect on the 2021 ARR <br /> form. The values do not reflect the 323.7 acre bond releases issued in 2021. Please correct the <br /> acreages and resubmit the corrected ARR form by 15 June 2022. <br /> 2. The acreage totals for active mining,backfilling/grading and permanent facilities do not coincide <br /> with the total for acres disturbed. Please double check your records over the years to try to <br /> determine where the difference presents itself It appears that there is approximately a 15 acre <br /> discrepancy where reclamation has not been initiated or are areas in long term facilities. 29.85 <br /> 4F COlO <br /> Physical: 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, CO 80203 P 303.866.3567 F 303.832.8106 ��`_ = <br /> Mailing: DRMS Room 215, 1001 E 62nd Ave, Denver, CO 80216 https://drms.colorado.gov <br /> Jared S.
