2 <br /> and all contents therein along with all miscellaneous materials, refuse, and <br /> debris . However, you are instructed not to disturb the historic wooden <br /> outbuildings. You are also required to break up and bury all cement <br /> foundations and to reclaim the surface to approximate pre-existing contour, <br /> including the very small mining pit, and the high wall just west of the <br /> facilities. <br /> According to the State of Colorado' s Division of Minerals and Geology (CDMG) , <br /> you have a $236, 000. 00 reclamation bond in place on permit number M-1983-052. <br /> We feel this is adequate for the work required to reclaim conditions as they <br /> currently exist on the site. At 43 CFR Sec. 3809. 505 under the existing <br /> regulations, as amended, it states: <br /> For each plan of operations approved before January 20, 2001, for which <br /> you or your predecessor in interest posted a financial guarantee under <br /> the regulations in force before that date, you must post a financial <br /> guarantee according to the requirements of this subpart no later than <br /> November 20, 2001, at the local BLM office with jurisdiction over the <br /> I <br /> lands involved. <br /> Be advised that in addition to complying with the 43 CFR 3809 regulations, you <br /> are also required to comply with 43 CFR 3715 regulations which concerns use <br /> and occupancy of public lands using a reasonably incident to mining standard. <br /> Since there is no mining activity occurring and your equipment is occupying <br /> the public lands, then this project is currently in non-compliance with these <br /> regulations. <br /> At 43 CFR 3715.5-1 it states in part that: <br /> Unless BLM expressly allows them in writing to remain on the public <br /> lands, you must remove all permanent structures, temporary structures, <br /> material, equipment, or other personal property placed on the public <br /> lands during authorized use or occupancy under this subpart. You have <br /> 90 days after your operations end to remove these items. <br /> At 43 CFR 3715.5-2 it states that: <br /> Any property you leave on the public lands beyond the 90-day period <br /> described in §3715.5-1 becomes property of the United States and is <br /> subject to removal and disposition at BLM' s discretion consistent with <br /> applicable laws and regulations . You are liable for the costs BLM <br /> incurs in removing and disposing of the property. <br /> Failure to comply with these requirements as outlined above may also result in <br /> the BLM deciding to charge you a rental fee based upon an appraisal done as <br /> required by our Lands and Realty regulations. You could also be found in <br /> trespass and charged for all work required to resolve this issue as well. <br /> This could run into the many thousands of dollars. <br /> Therefore, we require that you begin reclamation activity as detailed above <br /> within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notification. In addition, we <br /> require that all compliance items listed above be completed to BLM standards <br /> by no later than December 1, 2001 . Failure to comply with the requirements <br /> set forth in this correspondence may result in the issuance of a 43 CFR 3809 <br /> and 43 CFR 3715 Notices of Non-compliance (NON) (see 53809. 602, §3809.603, <br /> §3809. 604, §3809.700, 53715. 7-1, §3715.7-2, and §3715. 8 for specific <br /> enforcement actions and penalty descriptions) . Be advised that continuing to <br /> operate with outstanding NONs may impact the operations on any and/or all <br />
