The approval letter has been sent under sepazate cover. Enclosed with this letter are <br />reclamation cost estimating worksheets used to establish the $70,000 bond amount required for the permit <br />to be issued, The cost estimates are based on the information provided in the permit application and on <br />the quarry and highwalL configuration information you provided to me in a telephone conversation on <br />January 30, 2002. Please note that the grass seeding rates input to the cost estimate have been adjusted <br />downwazd from the rates listed on the Natural Resources Conservation Service worksheets-provided with <br />your permit application. The Division of Minerals and Geology will require that these reduced seeding <br />rates be used at the time of reclamation to prevent over seeding of the azeas to be reclaimed: ' These <br />reduced seeding rates also lessen the estimated costs for reclamation of the quarry. <br />Also enclosed with this letter is correspondence the Division of Minerals and Geology received relating to <br />your proposed quarry operation. You aze advised to familiarize yourself with the content of the <br />correspondence to determine of any other permits will be required prior to commencement of quarry <br />operations. <br />If you have any questions, please contact me at (303) 866-4063. <br />Since •ely, <br />~~-- <br />Allen C.
