Cattany <br />Division Director <br />Natural Resource Trustee <br />Re: Peroulis Brothers Snake River Pit, Application M- 2009 -079, Reclamation Liability Estimate. <br />Dear Mr. Zehner, <br />The Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety has received Baseline Consulting response to staff review <br />of the above referenced application. It appears that all issues have been addressed to meet the <br />minimum requirements of the Act and Rules. Staff notes the public comment period expired on <br />December 7, 2009. All other agencies comments appear to have been addressed and no comments of <br />opposition were received. Therefore, the final step prior to a decision is the agreement of the <br />reclamation liability estimate. <br />Please find enclosed the Final Reclamation Liability Estimate prepared by DRMS. While tasks are broken <br />down differently the estimate amount is similar to that provided within the application. Staff has <br />calculated the reclamation liability to be $145,000.00. This is a difference of $2,000.00 overall between <br />the Division's and consultant's estimates. Please review the estimate and contact staff immediately if <br />there are any discrepancies or errors that might affect the overall costs. If Precision accepts the <br />estimate, staff will need written or verbal acceptance in order to finish the decision process. <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, or by telephone <br />no. 970.241.1117. <br />Sincerely, <br />J. 4jlj--Ilf� <br />G.
