This program will obtain structural, geotechnical, coal <br />quality, and hydrogeological data for these coal seams and the associated overburden and interburden. <br />Drilling will consist of a combination of either a pilot hole with a second offset core hole, or a single drill hole <br />with coring. All pilot holes will be geophysically logged. A detailed description of all reclamation <br />requirements is contained in the NOI application package. <br />Colowyo has not performed the bond calculation and respectfully requests that the Division calculate the <br />required bond for Colowyo using your Reclamation Cost Computer Program. Adequate information in order <br />to perform this calculation is contained within this NOI application. Once Colowyo receives the Division's <br />calculated bond amount, Colowyo will obtain a Performance Bond or appropriate security as per Rule 3.05. <br />Colowyo would like to start this drilling program as soon as possible, and wilt assist the Division in any <br />manner to help expedite the approval process. Thank you for your time and attention on this matter. Please <br />call if any questions arise. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~~'~,A <br />Juan Garcia <br />Project Manager <br />Enclosures with Map <br />XC: Moffat County Clerk and Recorder <br />BLM Little Snake Resource Area <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />
