Cattany <br />Division DireROr <br />Natural Resource Trustee <br />M-1990-021, Technical Revision (TR-01) Approval and <br />The Division of Minerals and Geology staff has reviewed the Technical Revision to the <br />Reclamation Plan submitted by United for the Virginia Acres Pit. The revision as submitted is to <br />include a concrete walk path and a soft path around the lake. Through conversation between <br />DMG staff and United it is understood that these paths are to be constructed and maintained by <br />the Colorado State Parks Division. The TR is to clarify that the paths may be constructed prior <br />to the release of the permit and denotes an approximate location for them. <br />Staff is pleased to inform United that TR-01 is approved and that the Reclamation Plan now <br />reflects that the mentioned paths maybe constructed prior to a final release request. <br />As part of the TR, staff noted that the Virginia Acres Pit was due for a reclamation bond update. <br />The recalculation of the bond reflects only minor earthwork and revegetation tasks based on <br />current conditions. DMG calculations show the current bond of $30,000.00 is more than <br />adequate to cover the reclamation liability remaining on site. <br />If you need additional information, please contact me at the Division of Minerals and Geology, <br />Grand Junction Field Office, 101 S. 3rd St., Suite 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, <br />telephone no. 970.241.1117. <br />Sincerely, <br />G.
