Bnx 740 <br />Nucla,IColoradu 81424 <br />RE: Surety Adjustments & Mine Inspections, Permit Nos. M-78-311 <br />(Hewkeye Mine) & M-78-342 (Bllison Mine). <br />Dear• Mr. Blake: <br />Enclosed ore the inspection reports and revised cost estimates <br />for the above referenced mining operations. As can be seen in <br />the attac}led documents, the actual extent of disturbance at the <br />two sites is significantly less then what appeared to be the <br />case after reviewing the original permit documents alone. As <br />such, the Division's initial cost figures were revised downward <br />to more accurately ref'.lect actual site conditions. Ae soon as <br />Jim Stevens returns from vacation, I will discuss the idea of <br />adding.a stipulation to each permit requiring a re-evaluation <br />of the. bond prior to either mine returning to active statue and <br />prior to initiating arty new disturbance at either site. <br />Additionally, please review the problem resolution comments for <br />each operation, especially the Hawkeye Mine. The necessary work <br />is minor in nature but is essential to be completed given the <br />probable extended temporary cess:ltiDn status of the mine. Please <br />contact me at the Durango Field Office, ph. 247-5062 if you have <br />ar[y questions or comments. <br />Sincerely, <br />Tom Gillis <br />Reclamation Specialist <br />/tdg <br />Enclosures <br />
