Box 591 Division Dueao~ <br />Somerset, Colorado 81434 <br />Re: Minor Revision No. 222 (Helicopter Supported Exploration Drill Hole) West Elk Mine <br />(Permit No. C-80-007) <br />Dear Ms. Johnston: <br />On July 15, 1997 the Division received a faxed copy of the above-referenced minor revision <br />application; the original application was received via mail on July 23, 1997. The application has <br />been deemed incomplete for the purposes of filing for the following reasons: <br />1. Please provide documentation, such as a prepared bid document, for the estimated cost <br />of $2,875.00 to transport a drill rig by helicopter. The documentation should include a <br />breakdown on the 10 hour total time estimate, as well as inclusions (equipment/personnel) <br />in the hourly rate. <br />2. MCC estimates it will take ten hours to mobilize a drill rig and seal the 1,465' drill hole. <br />The Division estimates that the sealing of the hole alone will take at least eight hours. <br />Please either adjust the total time for the drill rig, or provide additional information on <br />the basis for this estimate. <br />3. Provide the drill hole diameter so [hat the Division can verify the material costs for <br />sealing the hole. <br />4. The RS Means 1997 Site Work and Landscape Cos[ Data indicates [hat one laborer can <br />backfill and/or topdress .696 cubic yards of material per hour. One foot of topsoil over <br />a 30'x30' pad is 33.33 yards. Applying the Means estimated rate, it would take 23.2 <br />hours. MCC's estimate includes 20 hours of labor. Please adjust the estimate to include <br />at least 23.2 hours. <br />5. MCC estimates that seeding of the drill pad will cost $5.70. The Division does not <br />believe that this is an accurate estimate of what it would cost to broadcast seed the area <br />
