Walther <br />E>ecutive Director <br />Michael B. Long <br />Division Director <br />The Division has reviewed your responses to our preliminary adequacy review for your application <br />for a Reclamation Permit for the Rowe Gravel site. Your responses were determined to be <br />adequate with the exception that the proposed seeding rate was insufficient and the mulch <br />application rate was not specified. The reclamation cast estimate was calculated using a seeding <br />rate of 7.5 pounds per acre of the proposed seed mix and a mulch application rate of 1 ton per <br />acre. Given the low precipitation rates for your area, these rates should be sufficient, though they <br />are a bit lower than those normally used. The Division will approve your application, with these <br />changes, at the end of the ten day public comment period. If you do not agree with these <br />changes, please notify the Division in writing within 2 days of receipt of this letter. <br />The reclamation bond amount has been calculated, based upon the original application information <br />and any revised information submitted in your adequacy review response. The amount of the <br />estimated reclamation costs is 54,986.00 as shown on the front page of the enclosed bond <br />estimate package. Therefore your current financial warranty is adequate to reclaim the site as <br />proposed in your application. <br />You will be receiving your permit document, from our Denver Office, within a few days of the <br />approval date. After receiving your permit, you may commence with your mining operation. <br />Please remember that any future changes you make to your mining or reclamation plans must first <br />be incorporated into your permit, through the revision or amendment process. <br />If you need additional information, please contact me at the Division of Minerals and Geology, <br />Durango Field Office, 484 Turner Drive, Building F, Suite 101, Durango, CO 81301, phone no. <br />970-247-5062. <br />Sincerely, <br />.~~ <br />Steve S.
