The <br />Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Kremmling Field Office received notice of Kerr Coal <br />Company's intent to seek release of the majority of the remaining reclamation bond for the Kerr <br />{Marc) Mine site via certified mail on September 10, 2007. The Kremmling Field Office <br />manages public lands within the northern portion of the mine site, including surface and mineral <br />rights within the mine site permit boundaries. <br />We request that the remaining reclamation bond be held until further review of the reclamation <br />plan and associated reclamation activities is conducted. Many areas of the mine site appear to <br />meet reclamation requirements, but some azeas may need additional work. Portions of Section <br />26, Township 9 North, Range 78 West, 6`h PM, need further reclamation work to re-establish <br />vegetation and stable topography. We will need to conduct thorough field inspections of all <br />areas referenced in the bond release request to cleazly establish which azeas satisfy criteria <br />outlined by the reclamation plan and which areas require further work. We expect to conduct <br />field inspections within the next 45 days. <br />Please contact Kelly Hodgson of this office at (970) 724-3015 with any questions or for any <br />clarification of this request. <br />Sincerely, <br />~-.~~~- <br />David Stout <br />Field Manager <br />
