The U.S. Department ofEnergy Grand Junction Office <br />(DOE-GJO), in conjunction with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, San Juan Field Office, <br />examined the C-SR-13A Mine site and determined that Cotter Corporation's reclamation efforts <br />were completed in accordance with applicable environmental requirements and lease <br />stipulations, with the exception of the reestablishment of adequate vegetation. Pursuant to that <br />determination, DOE-GJO is requiring Cotter Corporation to continue its reclamation <br />performance bonding with DOE in the amount of $6,000 until such time as adequate vegetation <br />is reestablished at the site (expected to take at least two more growing seasons). <br />Accordingly, DOE-GJO has no objection to the Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology <br />granting Cotter Corporation's request for release (all or portion) of the subject permit. <br />If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact me at (970) 248-6004. <br />Sincerely, <br />r ~~~ <br />Mic~Tucker <br />Project Manager <br />cc: <br />E.
