~ EXHIBITS "A", "B", AND " C" ADEQAUTE
1T) EXHIBIT "D" RECLAMTION PLAN
a) Per our discussions during the per- operational inspection, the operator
will commit to placing minimum of 12 inches of topsoil/overburden
material over the entire affected acreage, rather than the 4 to 12 inches
committed in the application.
b) The operator had calculated a reclamation warranty in the amount of
$5,500, for the total affected acreage of 9.96 acres. As I informed you
during the inspection, the cost for acre appears to be too low. Based on the
average cost to reclaim similar sites in the area, the Division estimates the
cost per acre to be an average of $1,700 per acre plus a I5.5% in-direct
cost. Based on that average, the Division estimates the cost to be $16,932
plus $2624 in-direct cost, for a grand total of $ 19,556.00.
III) EXHIBIT "E'
a) It is the understanding of the Division, during the pre-operational
inspection that the operator has identified all surface owners of the
affected land within 200 feet and all owners of any permanent structures
within 200 feet of the affected area.
IV) EXHIBITS "F' THRU "L" ADEQAUTE.
The decision date for the application is 7/16/04. In order to expedite your response, the
Division will fax the letter to your consultant, Mr. Dan Fodor of Raton New Mexico.
