The due date for submitting the bond increase documents is 23 Apri12002. During our discussion at your Denver office on 3 April 2002 you were informed regarding a potential change in ownership of the subject gravel pit. The negotiations in that regazd aze ongoing at this time. At that discussion there were also questions regarding backfilling the previous wash ponds. Those ponds are an integral part of the existing replenishment system for our newly approved wash plant. Also, there was a discussion to not backfill those ponds because they are now a nesting and feeding area for ducks and geese. No decision has been made regarding the final disposition of those wash ponds. Any decision could have a major effect on the bonding requirement for M-1977-170. The area defined by you as "The Creosote Area" is, in fact, that area defined by the EPA as a "Mining Restricted Area" (MRA). No mining or excavation has been undertaken at that area, and none is allowed to be undertaken at that area. Therefore it is obvious that no reclamation applies to that azea, and further, no bonding amount should be assigned as apart of reclamation. v EVERV CONSTBtK:TION SERVICE FROM THE OflAFTINO BOARD TO THE BUILDING
