Cattany <br />Division Director <br />Natural Resource Trustee <br />The Division of Minerals and Geology (DMG) has reviewed Cotter Corporation's request for <br />a Surety Reduction for the above referenced permitted site. The review included staff's <br />inspection on 8/1 1 /03 and a recalculation of the bond reflecting reclamation work <br />accomplished. DMG calculations reflect a bond of 51500.00 will cover any secondary <br />seeding required. <br />Under TR-02 and Rule 4.2.1(81, the Division holds a minimum bond of 5100.00 for this <br />site. Therefore, permit records will show an overall reduction of the reclamation liability, <br />but the Division cannot reduce the bond below its current amount. SR-01 is approved to <br />reflect a reduction in reclamation liability. <br />Correspondence from the Department of Energy (DOE) indicates that they will require <br />Cotter to maintain a 55000.00 bond for this site. Any reduction in that amount is strictly <br />between DOE and Cotter so long as it is not reduced below the estimated 51500.00 <br />required by this agency. <br />If you need additional information, please contact me at the Division of Minerals and <br />Geology, Grand Junction Field Office, 101 S. 3rd St., Suite 301, Grand Junction, Colorado <br />81501, telephone no. 970.241.1 1 17. <br />Sincere y, <br />~. ~, G~~f""- <br />G.
