Box 1494 <br />Fort Collins, Colorado 80522 <br />RE: Temporary Cessation Request For: <br />Permit No. 71-345, Boettcher Sandstone Quarry <br />Per it No. 11-346, Goodwin Gypswn Quarry <br />~it No. 77-347, Slab Canyon Limestone Quarry <br />Permit No. 77-348, Boettcher Limestone Quarry <br />Dear h1r. Thomsen: <br />..- <br />i <br />The Division has reviewed your letter notifying the Mined Land <br />Reclamation Board of the temporary cessation for each of the four above <br />referenced permit operations. These notices will be presented to the <br />Board at the April 21-28, 1983 meeting. <br />Pursuant to C.R.S. 1973, 34-32-103(6)(II), the staff has thoroughly <br />reviewed each file and bond for these permit operations. The Division <br />has a general comment, concerning the theory behind bonding, and some <br />specific comments for each operation. Because these notices of temporary <br />cessation will be presented at the April Board meeting, please address <br />each of the following points by April 20, 1983. <br />The theory for the operator postiny a financial warranty is in the <br />unfortunate event the operator is unable to continue mining and <br />reclamation, the State of Colorado, through the Mined Land Reclamation <br />Board, is required by law to reclaim the area. Reclamation is <br />accomplished by assuming the bond and bidding the reclamation project out <br />to a contractor. To insure the State is able to reclaim an area and to <br />insure bonds posted by different mininy companies are equitable, the <br />Division has recently developed a variety of reclamation costs. These <br />costs were developed from the Caterpillar Performance Handbook and the <br />Rental Blue Book for Heavy Construction Equipment. These costs were used <br />in the review of these operations to insure these areas can be reclaimed <br />at today's costs. <br />423 Centennial Budding, 1313 Sherman Street denver, Colorado 80203 Tel. ~303i B66-3567 <br />
