<br />This technical revision would approve the as-built certification and reclamation bond liability estimate for temporary Pond

<br />Portions of Sections 34, 35 and 36, Township 12 South, Range 91 West;
<br />Portions of Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, all of 6 and 7, Porions North of the North Fork of the Gunnison River in Sections 8, 9,
<br />10, portions of Sections 11, 12, and 17, Township 13 South, Range 90 West;
<br />Portions of Sections I-3, I 1-13, Township 13 South, Range 91 West of the 6th P.Ivt.
<br />The above-mentioned tracts of land are shown on USGS 7.5 minute Quadrangle map of Somerset.
<br />A copy of the technical revision application is available for public inspection at the Delta County Courthouse, 5th & Palmer,
