This Minor Revision attempts to address all of the issues <br />raised in the mid-term review with the exception of Item 4, the amount of the bond. <br />As we have discussed, CEC has arranged for the preparation of a Phase I bond release <br />application, which may (depending on the results of this year's reclamation vegetation sampling) <br />be followed by a Phase II bond release application. The anticipated effect of the approval of one <br />or both of these applications would be a reduction in the amount of the bond, to or below the <br />amount currently required, and posted by CEC. The present anticipation is to submit the Phase I <br />bond release application by the end of August. <br />While we trust that you will find the materials presented to be sufficiently complete and directed <br />toward the issues raised by the mid-term review, should there be questions or a need for further <br />clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me (303 277-3455). Thanks again for your <br />forbearance while we worked through this process. <br />Rego <br />Donald W. MacDonald ) <br />Manager, Energy Services <br />Enclosures <br />
