<br />5. The entire site of 34 acres will be seeded according to the seed mix in the "temporary" revegetation plan <br />included in the file. Since the site is approved for apost-mining land use of "industriaUcommercial," it is assumed <br />that this revegetation is required only as a temporary measure to stabilize the site until actual development is <br />imminent. Obviously, if industrial development is to occur promptly after reclamation earthwork is completed, the <br />seeding will not have to occur first. The bond for that aspect of the reclamation, however, is required until such <br />development schedule is known. <br />6. I have included mobilization costs for a contractor from the Grand Junction area, since it is a likely and <br />reasonable assumption given the size of the contractor/equipment pool there. <br />Please review these tasks and costs, and notify me promptly if you notice any errors, omissions, or more efficient <br />methods to accomplish any tasks. You should inform me of any of these included tasks that have been already <br />completed, since reclamation performed can be excluded from the bond to be posted. Likewise, let me know if <br />there are questions about any of the figures in the packet. <br />By State statute, you are required to maintain a bond in an amount adequate to complete reclamation. This agency <br />is required to periodically review every bond for its adequacy, and notify the operator if additional bond is needed. <br />By law, you must provide such additional bond within 60 days of notification. Therefore, if you have any input or <br />questions, I must hear from you promptly so that a more accurate figure is determined within that timeframe. <br />To determine the start of the 60-day period, this letter and packet are being mailed via certified mail, with return <br />receipt requested. If you have need for new bond forms or have questions about types of bond instruments, please <br />contact Ms. Suzi Ericksen at the Division's Denver office (see letterhead). <br />I may be reached at the Division's Durango field office: 701 Camino Del Rio, Room 125, Durango CO 81301; <br />tel: 970/247-5193 or fax: 970/247-5104.
