This office has reviewed the items outlined in the plan, to ensure that they include commitment for sufficient <br />monitoring and adequate treatment strategies for the control and eventual elimination of the target weed species. The <br />plan as outlined appears complete and the technical revision (TR-15) is approved as of the date of this letter. <br />The existing bond included weed control costs, and though this revision consists of (potentially) more effective weed <br />control activities, my bond review revealed that there was no increase in the required bond amount for this revision. <br />Thank you again for the timely response in providing the weed control plan for this mine. I look forward to receiving <br />reports of successful weed control and to observing fewer weeds at the mine each year. Along that vein, please <br />accept a copy of the Colorado Weed Management Association's 2011 "Weed Calendar" I am enclosing with this <br />letter. <br />I hope you have a happy holiday season. <br />Sincerely, <br />plil? ??4 <br />Bob Oswald <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Cc(w/encl): Brian Egolf, Emerald Mining and Leasing, LLC, PO Box 628, Creede, CO 81130 <br />(c:\10-12 docs\bulldog tr15 appr/rco) <br />Office of Office of <br />Mined Land Reclamation Denver • Grand Junction Durango Active and Inactive Mines
