SH ELTON, Director <br />Richard D. Lamm <br />Governor <br />DATE: November 27, 1985 <br />T0: Gregg <br />FROM: Jeff /J~ <br />RE: Trapper Mine Mid-Term Review <br />Bond Calculations, File No. C-O1D-81 <br />I have reviewed the Trapper Mine bond calculations using all of Trapper's <br />assumptions concerning volumes, push distances and haul distances. The only <br />major problem I noted with the calculations is that the operator seems to have <br />incorrectly estimated dozer production from the Homographs in the CAT <br />Handbook. The operator consistently overestimated production as a function of <br />push distance from these curves. <br />The Division should require Trapper Mining to either justify their production <br />estimates or recalculate earthmoving costs using production rates properly <br />calculated from the dozer production Homographs. <br />5216E/cj <br />423 Centennial Building, 1313 Sherman Street Denver, Colorado 80203 Tel.
