Cattany <br />Division Din'ctor <br />Natural Resource Trustee <br />Re: St. Jude Mine, Permit M-1978-039 FLR, Submittal of Proposed Final Reclamation Map (Following <br />TR-Ol). <br />Deaz Mr. Wetz, <br />This office is in receipt of the above-named reclamation map for the St. Jude Mine. As part of our review <br />of its adequacy comparison was made to the pre-reclamation condition depicted on the mining map <br />received by this office on September 22, 2003, for Technical Revision TR-O1. The TR-O1 was approved, <br />though it was agreed that an updated reclamation map was still needed and would be submitted. The new <br />map fulfills that need; the two maps aze considered to be the updated Exhibit E (Mining and Reclamation <br />Maps), pursuant to Rule 6.3.5. <br />Findings of our review of this reclamation map are summarized as follows: <br />1. All necessary items are included and adequately depicted as reclaimed features. <br />2. The map scale is appropriate for depicting all necessary details. <br />3. Inclusion of the pre-reclamation spot elevations and post-reclamation topography allows adequate <br />earthwork estimation for bond recalculation. <br />This new map meets all standards of the applicable portions of Rules 6.2 and 6.3, and is a valuable <br />addition to the permit file. The map represents the present reclamation scenario, but its approval does not <br />constitute any requirement to begin reclamation. Please be reminded that the reclamation plan or <br />reclamation map may be revised if needed. <br />With this new map in-hand, I will begin to recalculate the bond for this permit and send you the <br />preliminary figures for your review. These will be based on the present site condition, reclamation plan <br />details (under the recent technical revision), and current equipment and labor rates. <br />As always, this office appreciates the diligence and effort in preparing this high quality map product. If <br />you have questions, I may be reached at the Division's Durango field office: 701 Camino del Rio, Room <br />125, Durango, CO 81301; telephone 970-247-5193 or fax 970-247-5104. <br />Office of Office of Colorado <br />
