Box 216 RECEPIED <br />Egnar, Colorado 81325 <br /> ?i 16 2010' <br />Re: Gleason Pit, Permit No. M-1983-159, Surety Increase Notice, SI-01. lion of <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Sutherland, <br />In an effort to ensure the financial warranty remains adequate to reclaim this site per the requirements of <br />the approved reclamation plan, DRMS has updated the reclamation cost estimate (copy enclosed). The <br />estimated reclamation liability is now $31,500.00. This is an increase of $12,927.00 from the 2002 <br />increase with the conversion of the permit from a 110c to a 112c. The site is clearly is under-bonded. <br />Therefore, pursuant to Section 34-32.5-117(4) of the Colorado Land Reclamation Act, adequate <br />financial warranty must be submitted to DRMS within 60 days, (October 12, 2010) of the mailing <br />date of this report. <br />Based on the August 3, 2010 inspection it was noted very little had changed since the last reclamation <br />bond update in 2002 with the exception of reaching the maximum 10 acres disturbance and more trash <br />and debris being brought into the permit area. Staff therefore updated the bond calculation using <br />accepted volumes and tasks and adjusted the acreage and disposal costs accordingly. Unfortunately, as <br />you know, seed cost have increased dramatically over the 8 years since the last update. That increase <br />more than any other contributed to the increase required. <br />If you need additional information, please contact me at the Division of Reclamation, Mining, and <br />Safety, Grand Junction Field Office, 101 S. 3rd St., Suite 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, <br />telephone no. 970.241.1117. <br />Sincerely, <br />G.
