Walcl~er <br />E.ecmnc Dbc<cur <br />MiC11]C B. Long <br />Owision Dir¢rlor <br />The Division received and reviewed your response to the May 17, 2000 adequacy letter. <br />Following is one clarification and one reminder: <br />1) You state that the permit area will be mined in 5 acre cells and that it will take 3 years to <br />effectively secure the water augmentation plan so that 15 acres will be mined before the <br />water rights issues are resolved. It is understood from your statement that until the water <br />rights issues are resolved no more than 15 acres will be mined. However, after the water <br />rights issues are resolved, the operator will mine the affected lands in 50 acre parcels <br />(pursuant to the proposed mining plan). Also, the operator will provide sufficient funds in <br />~ the bond to backfill and reclaim the 15 acre pit and the borrow area (reseed etc.). The <br />J , bond will be reduced after the water tights issues are resolved; upon receipt of a request <br />for a reduction from the operator. If this is an accurate statement, please acknowledge. <br />S ~ ~ 2) A copy of the access lease from Mineral Reserves, Inc. to Western Mobile Southern, Inc. <br />is the only document that still needs to be submitted. Please submit before June 14, 2000. <br />~,ue~n~,f l~ <br />The $838,618 financial warranty estimate you provided is acccptable for backfilling operations <br />of the 15 acre pit and the borrow area. An acceptable bond must be submitted before a permit <br />will issue. <br />If you have any questions, please give me a call. <br />Sincerely, <br />ames Dillie <br />BARNHART AGENC~ <br />PAGE 03 <br />STATE OF COLORADO <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />
