The <br />revision requests a new vertical production well 7H-1V to be completed in the existing 7H cavity. As <br />with the previous revision request for installation of production well 5H-1 V the Division has the <br />following adequacy comment that will need to be addressed prior to approval of the revision: <br />Please provide a reclamation cost estimate to reclaim the new production well and the associated <br />disturbance. Please also include a letter from the Bureau of Land Management stating that a new or <br />increased bond has been submitted and approved for the cost associated with the reclamation of wel 1 <br />7H-1 V. <br />As the decision due date is set for today, May 21, 2008, more time is likely to be needed to <br />complete your reply. The Division can grant an extension to the decision date upon receipt <br />of a written waiver of your right to a decision by May 21, 2008 and request for additional time. This <br />waiver and extension request must be received no later than 5 p.m. on May 21, 2008. <br />DRMS apologizes for the short response time, and will endeavor to process the revision promptly upon <br />receipt of your response to this letter. However, if an extension request is not received by 4 P.M. today, <br />the revision may be denied. <br />If you need additional information, please contact me at the Division of Reclamation, Mining and <br />Safety, Grand Junction Field Office, 101 South Third Street, Room 301, Grand Junction, Colorado <br />81501, telephone no. 970-243-6368. <br />Sincerely, <br />Steve S.
