Ms. Erica Crosby January 25, 2006 CARVER KIRCHHOFF SCI'iWARZ McNAB & BAILEY, LLC Page 2 Measures Taken fo Comply with Reclamation Requirements Consistent your observations during your recent inspection of the site, RMCC has completed sloping the existing area of mine disturbance, placed topsoil on the disturbed areas, and completed reclamation seeding. The area where the materials processing equipment was located (i.e., the crusher, screens, wash plant, stockpiles, etc.) has been left in its current condition since such equipment will be relocated to the site in the near future when active operations are recommenced. RMCC is presently working with the Office of the State Engineer to update the substitute water supply plan for the site to address the expected evaporative loss from the limited amount of open water exposed at the site. Adeguacv of Existing Financial Warranhr As a condition of the recently approved Transfer of Permit and Succession of Operator, RMCC posted a replacement reclamation bond in the amount of $49,450, which was approved as a condition of the transfer permit and succession of operator. Prior to recommencing operations at Del Camino, RMCC will post a financial warranty in the amount of $278,182, which equates to the $327,632 financial warranty the Division has requested less the existing financial warranty of $49,450 that RMCC intends to maintain in place during the term of the temporary cessation. We understand that upon written notification to the Division of RMCC's intent to operate Del Camino and the posting of the $278,182 balance of the financial wananty, RMCC will be authorized to engage active operations at Del Camino. Should you have any questions regarding this "reactivation" of the August 1, 2005 Notice, please call me. Thank you.
