Please note that a summary of the results of <br />the bond release inspection can be found on pages one and two of the comment section of the <br />report. <br />Because additional reclamation work needs to be done, notably backfilling and grading and <br />establishing an appropriate vegetative cover for sediment ponds 4 and 5, the Phase II and III final <br />bond release can not be granted at this time. Once the additional reclamation work has been <br />accomplished, a second bond release inspection will be conducted to verify the results. You will <br />be notified of the date and time of this second inspection, should you want to attend. <br />If you have any questions, please call me. <br />Sincerely, <br />Hosepph udash <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Attachment <br />c:\word\blueribbon\sl2alleninsplet 1 <br />Office of Office of <br />Mined Land Reclamation Denver • Grand Junction • Durango Active and Inactive Mines
