III IIIIIIIIIIIII III <br />United States Department of the Interior <br />IN REPLY REFER TO <br />OFFICE OF SURFACE MINING <br />Reclamation and Enforcement <br />1999 Broadway, Suite 3320 <br />Denver, Colorado 80202-5733 <br />April 15, 1996 <br />David Berry <br />Senior Reclamation Specialist <br />Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Division <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />Re: Ohio Creek No. 2 Bond Forfeiture <br />Dear Mr. Berry: <br />gF(;FI~/Fp <br />~pR - 6 1996 <br />owisiaa o+ minetais ~. GeoiogY <br />Thank you for your letter of April 4, 1996 that responds to the <br />questions listed in the March 28, 1996 OSM correspondence regarding <br />the reclamation plan for the Ohio Creek No. 2 Mine, located in <br />Gunnison County, Colorado. Because the proposed mine site <br />reclamation does not deviate significantly from the approved <br />permit, OSM does not have to approve the reclamation plan. <br />As discussed earlier, OSM intends to conduct joint site inspections <br />with DMG during and after reclamation. Please notify this office <br />once the reclamation work has been contracted out and an <br />implementation schedule has been developed. <br />We understand that reclamation is proposed in two phases. The <br />second reclamation phase will include removal of the sedimentation <br />pond and drainage ditches; revegetation, if necessary; and <br />monitoring and maintenance. No bond money should be returned until <br />completion of the second-phase reclamation. <br />If you should have any questions, please contact Henry Austin (672- <br />5572), Glen Golden (672-5563), or Mitch Rollings (672-5514). <br />Sincerely, <br />~~r--~~ <br />James F. Fulton, Chief <br />Denver Field Division <br />cc: Pete Rutledge, Chief <br />Program Support Division <br />OSM Western Regional Coordinating Center <br />
