As was discussed with Larry Brown, the reclamation e:osts <br />proposed for 1985-86 will be presented to the Mined Land Reclamation Board <br />(MLRB) at their March 27-28, 1985 meeting. The following are concerns raised. <br />during our review of your proposed reclamation costs. Also includeii is .a <br />__ discussion pertaining to your annual report (some of which had previously been <br />_ - discussed with Mr. Brown when we discussed the Climax Annual Report). <br />I. Proposed Reclamation Cost - - <br />Our concerns under this category have been broken into two different areas: <br />specific concerns (which apply just to one particular area) and general <br />' concerns (which dear with an issue that relates to more than just one area). <br />-" -` A. Specific Concerns - .. <br />1. Page 2 of your discussion references reclamation activities cortipleted or <br />proposed to be completed in the very near future for Area No. 12. In <br />particular, there is a reference made to seeding being done in July. A review <br />of the proposed reclamation costs for this area reveals costs for only <br />fertilizer application. The MLRB has historically only released seeding costs <br />- once the vegetation has expressed itself. Since the area will not be planted <br />until July, it will be necessary to include costs for seeding. <br />Along these same lines, if there are other areas were vegetation hits yet to be <br />expressed or the area has yet to be seeded, it will be necessary to include <br />seeding costs. <br />2. Page 3, Area 2 references "Secure shaft opening" with a reclamation cost <br />- of 550,000.00. Please give more detailed documentation on how this value was <br />derived. <br />+il)~3 Centennial Building, 1313 Sherman Street Denver, Colorado 80203 Tel. (303) 866-3567 <br />
