Box 1750 <br />Canon City, CO 81215 <br />110, <br />Re: Schwartzwalder Mine, Permit No. M-1977-300, Approval of Technical Revision No TR-15 <br />Dear Mr. Whicker: <br />f <br />On 7 October 2010 the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (Division) approved the Technical Revision TR-15 <br />application submitted to the Division by Cotter Corporation (Cotter) on 5 October 2010, addressing the following: <br />Expand alluvial ground water capture and treatment capabilities <br />The terms of Technical Revision No. TR-15, as approved by the Division, are hereby incorporated into Permit No. M- <br />1977-300. All other conditions and requirements of Permit No. M-1977-300 remain in full force and effect. <br />Although Cotter's current plan is to install only one sump / French drain combination in the near term, this TR includes <br />the provision that up to three additional sump/drain combinations may be installed at some future date. If Cotter decides <br />to move forward with installation of one or more of the additional facilities, Cotter must provide written notification of its <br />intent to the Division before proceeding with the work on the ground. Financial Warranty implications of the additional <br />facilities will be addressed as needed at that time. <br />The current financial warranty for this site is $1,099,301.50. The estimated reclamation liability amount for this revision <br />is $57,000.00. Therefore, the new reclamation liability amount for this site is $1,156,301.50. This can be accomplished <br />by submitting a rider to the existing financial warranty or by submitting a separate financial warranty in the amount of <br />$57,000.00. Please submit the additional bond amount before commencing work on the ground under this TR, or within <br />30 days from the date of this letter. <br />You may contact me with questions at 303-866-3567 x8108. <br />S' erely, <br />David Bird <br />Reclamation Specialist <br />cc: John Hamrick - Cotter Corporation (via email) <br />Amory Quinn - Cotter Corporation (via email) <br />Tony Waldron - DRMS <br /> <br />COLORADO <br />DIVISION OF <br />RECLAMATION <br />MINING <br />SAFETY <br />Office of Office of <br />Mined Land Reclamation Denver • Grand Junction • Durango Active and Inactive Mines
