<br />FINAL BOND RELEASE LETTER
<br />Mayor, Town of Cedaredge
<br />P.O. Box 398
<br />Cedaredge, CO 81413
<br />Dear Sirs:
<br />MINREC, INC., is the successor in interest to Grand Mesa Coal Company's Division of
<br />Minerals and Geology, Permit No. C-81-034. The Red Canyon Mine site was reclaimed
<br />during 1988. The vegetation on the reclaimed areas has been very successful.
<br />Vegetation studies, performed during 1997 and 1998 have demonstrated the vegetation
<br />on the reclaimed mine site has been successfully established in accordance with the
<br />approved reclamation plan.
<br />One provision of the Division of Minerals and Geology's Rules is that the mine must be
<br />bonded for the estimated reclamation cost. Now that the vegetation is established,
<br />MINREC has formerly requested a final bond release from the Division of Minerals and
<br />Geology. MINREC is presently bonded for $74,000 and has requested the entire bond be
<br />released. In accordance with the Division's Rule 3.03.2(1), MINREC is required to send
<br />written notice of its request to adjacent land owners and various local governing bodies.
<br />The area for which final bond release is being requested is at the Red Canyon Mine Site
<br />located five miles northwest of Cedaredge, CO, in portions of Sections 2, 11, 12, 13, & 14,
<br />T 13 S, R 95 W. The location of the permit area is contained in the U.S. Geological
<br />Survey 7.5 minute Cedaredge, Colorado, quadrangle map. The legal description of the
<br />permit boundary follows:
