Bumgardner Ranches Gravel Pit; Financial Warranty Increase (SI-02) -Revised
Dear Mr. Bumgardner,
On April 14, 2009, the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (Division) conducted an
inspection of the Bumgardner Ranches Gravel Pit, File No. M-1980-027.
According to Rule 4.2.1(1) and (2), the Division may review a financial warranty at any time to
determine if the amount is sufficient to perform reclamation. The Division currently holds a
financial warranty of $20,976. Based on the inspection, the financial warranty is not sufficient
to perform the approved reclamation at the site. The Division prepared a reclamation cost
estimate for the Bumgardner Ranches Gravel Pit based on the inspection and the commitment
by DM1 General Contractors to limit the maximum disturbed acreage to nine (9) acres
submitted as part of Technical Revision No. 2. The Division estimates the cost to reclaim the
site is $25,000. This is an increase of $4,024 from the current financial warranty.
This letter is to inform you that your financial warranty will need to be revised within 60 days
from the date of this letter. A copy of calculations used to determine this cost is attached for
your review.
If you wish to submit a different type of Financial Warranty, the various application forms can
be found at the following website: http://minin~.state.co.us/Mineral%20Forms.htm. An
additional $500 is required if Bumgardner Ranches, Inc. elects to submit the financial warranty
as an Irrevocable Letter of Credit for a total increase of $4,524. If you have any questions
regarding the Financial Warranty please contact Elizabeth Taliaferro at [phone] Ext.
8148.
