Sherman <br />Executive Director <br />Ronald W. Cattany <br />Division Director <br />Natural Resource Trustee <br />The Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety (DRMS) has finished the review process for the above <br />referenced 110c application. The final issue prior to issuing a decision is the reclamation liability <br />estimate (bond). Please find attached the "Final Reclamation Liability Estimate". The estimate is based <br />on a worst case scenario that DRMS would have to reclaim the site midway through the mining process. <br />Therefore a highwall would probably exist that would have to be sloped to 3:1, an area of approximately <br />2 acres would need to ripped due to compaction by equipment and stockpiling, and seeding of the area <br />for final reclamation. <br />Please review the estimate carefully. If there are any errors or issues that need to be clarified please <br />contact staff as soon as possible. If Wagner Rock accepts the estimate please let staff now accordingly <br />so that the review process can be finalized. <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 />G.
