Piheda <br />Director <br />Re: Airport Corner Pit, Permit M-2007-057, Succession of Operator Revision SO-01, Bond Recalculation. <br />Dear Mr. Parker, <br />This office is reviewing the Succession of Operator application you recently submitted for the permit named above. <br />Part of our process requires that the reclamation costs are updated and the required bond amount adjusted <br />accordingly. At the time of permit application approval three years ago the reclamation cost estimate was $13,393, <br />as stated in the permit approval letter and reflected in the Division's bond estimate packet. (Note: That amount <br />included $500 to cover financial warranty processing costs, typically required for bonds in the form of letters of <br />credit. The amount of bond provided by you in 2007 is $13,893, which is $500 more than the amount required.) ' <br />The Division's current bond estimate total is $14,163, which also includes the necessary $500 for bond processing. <br />This new total is $770 higher than the original total of $13,393. However, since the current amount of bond posted is <br />actually $13,893, the real amount of increase to be additionally provided is only $270. <br />The updated reclamation cost estimate is in the enclosed packet, which you should review promptly and contact me if <br />you note any errors or omissions. The same earthwork quantities, acreages, and types of equipment are used in the <br />new estimate, but fuel, labor and rental rates are the items that increased. <br />The Succession of Operator request is approved but the change will not become final until the new bond is submitted <br />and accepted by the Division. Please be reminded that a complete new bond is required, under the new operator's <br />name, before the first bond can be released. New bond forms are available on our website: www.mining.state.co.us. <br />If you have questions about a bond form itself, or the Succession of Operator, please contact Mary Rodriguez at the <br />Division's Denver office (see letterhead, above). If you have questions about this letter or the enclosed reclamation <br />cost packet, I may be reached at the Division's Durango field office: 691 CR 233, Room A-2, Durango, CO 81301. <br />Sincerely, <br />Bob Oswald <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />STATE OF COLORADO, <br />,iV <br />COLORADO <br />DIVISION O F <br />RECLAMATION <br />MINING <br />SAFETY <br />Office of Office of <br />Mined Land Reclamation Denver • Grand Junction Durango Active and Inactive Mines
