STATE OF COLORADO <br />DIVISION OF RECLAMATION, MINING AND SAFETY <br />Department of Natural Resources <br />1313 Sherman St., Room 215 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />Phone: (303) 866-3567 <br />FAX: (303) 832-8106 <br />COLORADO <br />D I V I S I ON OF <br />RECLAMATION <br />MINING <br />SAFETY <br /> Bill Ritter, Jr. <br />INTEROFFICE Governor <br /> Harris D. Sherman <br />MEMORANDUM Executive Director <br /> Ronald W. Cattany <br /> Division Director <br />TO: Joe Dudash Natural Resource Trustee <br />FROM: Jim Star <br />SUBJECT: Bowie No. 2 TR-55 Cost Estimate <br />DATE: 11 August 2008 <br />I have reviewed the materials submitted with Bowie No. 2 Mine's Technical Revision 55 <br />as they relate to the reclamation cost estimate. In the cover letter BRL states that they do <br />not believe that there should be any increase in the bond amount because the area in <br />question and associated new construction as it will all be buried in the fill material. <br />Based on the location in question and the currently approved post-mining topography, the <br />Division agrees with BRL's statement that no increase in bond is necessary. If, in the <br />future, BRL changes the PMT, it may be necessary to take a new look at the road/slope <br />work. At this point it is not necessary to revise the reclamation cost estimate or increase <br />the bond based on the proposed TR-55 work. <br />Please let me know if you have any questions or need any additional information. <br />cc <br />Sandy Brown <br />Office of Office of <br />Mined Land Reclamation Denver • Grand Junction • Durango Active and Inactive Mines
