Division Director <br />826 21 '/z Road Natural Resource Trustee <br />Grand Junction, CO 81505 <br />Re: Circle Dot Quarry ,Permit Application No. M - 2007 - 067, Reclamation Costs Estimate Update <br />Dear Mr. Dennison: <br />The Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety has calculated the bond estimate for the above referenced <br />permit application. Staff has calculated the initial reclamation liability for the proposed mine using <br />information within the application and information submitted by Cordilleran Compliance Services. The <br />estimate is based on what it would cost the state to hire a contractor to reclaim the site if the bond was <br />forfeited and not necessarily what it would cost Marathon Oil Company to do the -work. <br />Staff s estimate for the proposed reclamation of the site is $20,676.00. This is slightly higher than the <br />recommended $20,000.00 stated in the permit application and for similar types of operations. Please review <br />the estimate carefully. Should there be any questions or corrections contact staff immediately. <br />If you need additional information, please contact me at the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety, <br />Grand Junction Field Office, 101 S. 3rd St., Suite 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, telephone no. <br />970.623.5596. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~~ i~ <br />Travis Marshall <br />EPS I, Grand Junction Field Office <br />Cc: Carl Mount, Senior Environmental Protection Specialist, North Team Supervisor. <br />Office of Office of <br />Mined Land Reclamation Active and Inactive Mines <br />
