<br />Performance Warranty: The Performance Warranty form was altered as submitted because <br />there is no allowance or authority within the Federal Government for maintenance of Financial <br />Warranties as noted in the clauses that were altered. As you probably know the Federal Budget <br />is allocated on an annual basis as set forth and approved by Congress and the President. <br />Therefore the Medicine Bow - Routt National Forest, as the Operator, cannot legally sign any <br />warranty that would obligate federal funds beyond the current year for which they are allocated. <br />We anticipate that the reclamation of the State Line Ranch Pit will be relatively easy to <br />accomplish in accordance with the submitted Reclamation Plan. It is a pit run-type source <br />located on gentle topography. It will not require a variety of heavy equipment - a dozer should <br />be adequate for the required grading. Our force-account road crew has the necessary equipment <br />to perform this type of activity and can complete it in a very economical manner. <br />I have discussed our dilemma regarding the Perfornuutce Warranty with Mr. Bruce Humphries of <br />your office. Mr. Humphries indicated that the Division would develop some type of agreement <br />to circumvent the Performance Warranty form that would still ensure that the reclamation is <br />completed by [he Medicine Bow-Rout[ National Forest as the Operator. Please let us know what <br />might he acceptable in lieu of the Performance Warranty in order to complete the application <br />process in a timely manner. <br />Exhibit G -Right to Enter, Blanket Purchase Agreement: 1 am including a new "Exhibit A - <br />Legal Description". Please replace the submitted description with this updated one. In <br />reviewing the package again I discovered that the original description was inadvertently included <br />by one of our Agreements Staff. The replacement description is correct for the new proposed pit <br />development. I will ensure that State Line Ranch receives a correct copy as well. <br />Sincerely <br />X ~ <br />Dennis H. ale <br />District Engineer <br />ECEIVED <br />MAR 2 8 2000 <br />p,.,_ , ~ .:~ :minerah~ & Geology <br />
