Inc. <br />PO BoY 367 <br />Bavfield. CO 81122 <br />Re: Bavfield Pit #1, Permit NI-1987-038_ Review of Bond Amount. Bond Reduction Indicated. <br />Dear Mr. Gosnev, <br />Bill Owens <br />Governor <br />Greg E. Walther <br />Executive Director <br />Ronald W. Cattany <br />Acting Division Director <br />I have reviewed the bond amount for the permitted site named above, and find that a reduction in bond amount <br />appears to be possible. This review was based on the currently-approved reclamation plan in the file, the recently- <br />approved technical revision, and the conditions observed while onsite during the Division's 4/l6/03 inspection. <br />The technical revision allows the use of a material other than topsoil to be used as a growth medium. The recent <br />inspection verified that nearly all required slope grading had been performed adequately. <br />The current bond amount is $44,437. The current recalculation indicates a bond requirement of $27,938, which is a <br />reduction of $16.499. The pages contained in the enclosed packet show all the separate tasks considered to still be <br />required, and their costs. You will note [hat the largest single cost is associated with revegetation tasks. <br />You have not requested a bond reduction vet, and this office cannot reduce your bond at this time. However. at any <br />time cou may submit a bond reduction request to this office, and we will act on it. Please review Construction <br />Materials Rule 4.13 and Rule 4.16 for the required steps to follow for this request. If your request is submitted in <br />the near firture, another inspection may not be needed. <br />Please look over the enclosed task sheets and contact me if you notice an error or omission_ or have questions about <br />the figures. If you need new bond forms or wish to discuss the types of bonds accepted by the state. please contact <br />Nls. Suzi Ericksen at the Divisions Denver office (see letterhead). [f you wish to discuss the figures in this packet <br />please contact me directly at the Divisions Durango field office: 701 Camino del Rio. Room 12~_ Durango.
