Stark, Jim From: Stark, Jim Sent: 12 May, 2009 09:20 To: Talvitie, Marcia Cc: Brown, Sandy Subject: RE: Elk Creek Mine MR-88 Request for Assistance Attachments: Elk Creek Minor Revision 88 RCE.pdf Marcia, I have attached'a pdf copy of the Elk Creek MR-88 cost estimate. It is two tasks (a summary sheet and task 201) and represents an increase in liability of $7,646.00. The estimate includes a cost for sealing the three new utility boreholes as well as a credit for not drilling (or needing to seal) the three previously permitted utility boreholes. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this estimate. From: Talvitie, Marcia Sent: 11 May, 2009 16:36 To: Stark, Jim Cc: Brown, Sandy Subject: Elk Creek Mine MR-88 Request for Assistance Hi Jim, On Friday, May 8th, the Division received an application from OMLLC for MR-88. This revision will modify the three utility boreholes proposed under TR-60 (Bear Creek Fansite). A copy of the application has been received by the Denver office. The design has been changed from three 6" ID boreholes to two 7" holes and one 18" hole. This change may result in an increase to the reclamation cost estimate for the Elk Creek Mine. The Division likely holds sufficient bond already to accommodate any increase. I would like to request your assistance in providing an estimate of the reclamation cost increase for MR-88. The application has been determined Complete for purposes of filing today. If possible, I would like to request your review during this week (I will be in the field next week for inspections). Please let me know if there are any questions (or, alternatively, if doing a cost estimate is unnecessary for this MR). Thanks! Marcia Marcia L.
