RE: Routt County - "Hewes Pit" - File No. M-78-314
Dear Mr. Hewes:
Our Division has received the succession of operators form for permit no:
M-78-314 from Routt County with a cover letter requesting that we inform you
concerning the financial warranty requirements. Please be advised that the
succession of operators form itself has been properly executed and is thus
acceptable.
All operators are required to submit a Performance Warranty. I have enclosed
a nearly completed copy of this form. Please complete and sign this form,
having your signature properly notarized. When complete, submit this form
with your Financial Warranty.
A Financial Warranty must also be submitted by all mining operators.
Typically, fora 9.9 - acre, limited impart operation such as yours, the
amount of this warranty is set by our Board at E5,000.00. (Routt County had
submitted no Financial Warranty since counties are exempted from this
requirement.) If you feel that you can clearly demonstrate that the permit
area can be reclaimed according to the permit for less than E5,000:00 (not by
you, but using a state-hired contractor), please submit your suggested amount
of financial warranty and your justification of this amount. Our staff will
then review your submittal and we can eventually agree on a correct amount;
allowing you to then suhmit the Financial Warranty. Otherwise, simply send in
a financial warranty in the amount of 55,000.00 and we will not need to delay
the permit transfer by a review of your suggested reclamation costs.
I have enclosed partially completed forms for the two financial warranty
options most commonly used by individuals. The first form is to be used with
a certificate of deposit. The principal amount of the certificate of deposit
is to be made out to "Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board" with the interest
