Assumptions made by the Division, when calculating the reclamation costs are: <br />• With a maximum 3 acres disturbed at any one time, the maximum highwall length would be 300 feet; <br />• with a pit floor of sandstone, the pit floor must be ripped to a two foot depth prior to topsoil replacement, <br />to promote adequate vegetative growth. Placement of overburden on this area may also be acceptable, <br />prior to topsoil replacement. <br />Additionally, the reclamation tasks proposed by the BLM, and accepted by H and H Stone have been <br />incorporated into the permit requirements and the reclamation cost estimate. H and H Stone will be held to <br />performing these required tasks to receive release of the financial warranty after site reclamation. <br />The amount of financial warranty set by the Division for this operation is S6,347.00. H and H Stone must <br />submit a financial warranty in this amount and a performance warranty in order for the Division to issue a <br />permit. <br />PLEASE NOTE THAT MINING OPERATIONS MAY NOT COMMENCE UNTIL THE DIVISION HAS ISSUED A <br />PERMIT, AFTER RECEIPT OF YOUR FINANCIAL WARRANTY AND PERFORMANCE WARRANTY. A PERMIT <br />WILL NOT BE ISSUED UNTIL WE VERIFY THE ADEQUACY OF BOTH YOUR FINANCIAL WARRANTY AND <br />PERFORMANCE WARRANTY. <br />Financial warranty and performance warranty forms are enclosed along with the Division's reclamation cost <br />estimate. <br />If you need additional information, please contact me at the Division of Minerals and Geology, Durango Field <br />Office, 484 Turner Drive, Building F, Suite 101, Durango, CO 81301, phone no. 970-247-5062. <br />Sincerely, <br />_~~ <br />Steve S.
