Sherman <br />Mr. Steve Baker Executive Director <br />3B Enterprises, LLC Ronald W. Cattany <br />P.O. BOX 1665 Division Director <br />Craig, CO 81626 Natural Resource Trustee <br />Re: Lyster Pit, Permit Application No. M - 2008 - 009, Final Reclamation Cost Estimate. -.-- <br />Dear Mr. Baker: <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 3B Enterprises. The estimate is based on <br />what it would cost the state to hire a contractor to reclaim the site if the bond was forfeited and not <br />necessarily what it would cost Black Lyster Oil Company to complete the work. <br />Staff's estimate for the proposed reclamation of the site is $63,165.00, rounded off to $63,000.00. This <br />estimate is base on immediate reclamation of all proposed pond shoreline. If any high walls are observed <br />during future inspections the bond will be adjusted to include pit dewatering. The bond is only calculated for <br />the 30 acres of Phase 1. The operator must notify the Division prior to the commencement of mining in <br />Phase II to account for the additional disturbance. Please review the estimate carefully. Should there be any <br />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 />970.241.2042. <br />Sincerely, <br />Travis Marshall <br />Environmental Protection Specialist, Grand Junction Field Office <br />Enclosure(s) <br />STATE OF COLORADO <br />Office of Office of <br />Mined Land Reclamation Denver • Grand Junction • Durango Active and Inactive Mines
