We appreciate your responses to our <br />request for additional information. <br />Status of Road Use Permit: Our roads engineer is currently reviewing all of the information you <br />have provided, and she will have some additional questions for you before we can proceed with <br />processing the Road Use Permit. I expect that we will be sending you another letter detailing any <br />additional information needed within the next week. <br />Other Items: <br />1.We understand that you have dropped four of the drilling locations (#10, 16, 19 and 20). <br />Therefore, the access roads which crossed unpatented claims on NFS land to the #19 and 20 sites <br />will not be built. Following is the revised list of activities and sites on NFS lands and roads: <br />-Use of NFR 853.1b (Yankee Boy Basin road) and NFSR 853.1 c (Governor Basin road) for <br />hauling equipment, supplies and personnel to/from the project area; <br />-Construction of access roads to the #12, 18, 22 and 23 drilling locations, and widening of NFSR <br />853. lb for the #11, 13 and 26 drilling pad locations (note; the road and locations occur on Mt. <br />Sneffels' patented land); <br />-Construction and drilling activities at the #12 and #18 drilling locations. <br />2. We have reviewed and concurred with the State DRMS calculation for the reclamation bond, <br />based upon Mt. Sneffels Mining Company's reduction in drillpad locations. <br />S 01W <br />Caring for the Land and Serving People Printed on Recycled Paper %0
