The Division found that reclamation had not been accomplished at this site and denied this request. Specifically, <br />the revegetation was not adequate throughout the site, and the black henbane infestation was still present. <br />Please review the attached inspection report for details of the financial warranty release denial. In addition, if you have <br />past due annual fees or unpaid civil penalties, your financial warranty cannot be released. <br />If you have any questions, please contact me at (970) 247-5193. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~ ~ <br />Bob Oswald <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Enclosure: Inspection Report <br />(~~°® <br />MAY 16.2008 <br />Division of (r7acla+nation, <br />Mining and Safety <br />Ec(w/o encl): Tony Waldron, DRMS <br />Cc(w/encl): Diann Gese, BLM, 13308 W Hwy 160, Del Norte, CO 81132 <br />Joe Gagliano, LJ Development, Inc., 256 Merrill Dr., Pueblo, CO 81007 <br />Office of Office of ` <br />Mined Land Reclamation Denver Grand Junction Durango Active and Inactive Mines <br />
