Box 597 Natural Resource Trustee <br />Meeker, CO 81641 <br />_/ <br />Re: Russell Ranch Pit, IlOc Application No. M-2006-008, Approval.. <br />Dear Mr. Rogers: <br />The Division of Minerals and Geology has finished the review process for the above referenced 110c <br />application. It appears the Russell Ranch GP has clarified and corrected all issues of concern regarding <br />the application for staff. The application now appears to meet the minimum standards for approval. <br />Please note that staff has documentation of Notice being sent to the two adjacent landowners but proof <br />of receipt for only one. This is due to the loss of the return receipt by ranch staff. Staff will not require <br />re-notice, but if the issue is brought up by the landowner, the permit issuance maybe held up until proof <br />of service is established. With this in mind, staff is pleased to inform Russell Ranch GP that the <br />application is approved. <br />Staff estimates that the reclamation cost for this site is $22,803.00. Russell Ranch has given verbal <br />acceptance of these calculations. Therefore, the reauired Financial Warranty for the permit will be set at <br />$22.803.00. The permit will not become active until the Denver Office accepts the Financial and <br />Performance Warranties. As a reminder, no mining related activities may begin until the permit is <br />activated and all other permits required are in place. <br />If you need additional information, please contact me at the Division of Minerals and Geology, Grand <br />Junction Field Office, 101 South Third Street, Room 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, telephone <br />no. 970-241-1117. <br />Sincerely <br />~/J- - <br />G.
