6. The seed mix presented in the NOI is sufficient at this for this office to estimate the revegetation costs. It is <br />important that the operator provide to this office the actual seed mix that will be required by the USFS. <br />Please confirm. <br />It is acknowledged that the operator agrees to minimize overall disturbances, but has included a larger acreage figure <br />than what will actually be disturbed. The bond estimate will be calculated by this office, after the operator has <br />responded to all of these items. It is expected that the estimate will include these items: cut and fill earthwork <br />volumes proposed by the operator, recontouring pads, scarifying trails, removal of debris (sediment fence), <br />revegetation of 1.0 acre, and mobilizing a small dozer and backhoe loader from Creede. <br />The Division will calculate the appropriate bond amount after the technical issues above have been addressed. Please <br />provide complete responses to the items listed above, as this will help the Division prepare a good bond estimate. <br />The figures will be sent to the applicant soon after receiving adequate responses. <br />Thank you for forwarding copies of correspondence with the US Forest Service. We would appreciate continued <br />forwarding of such correspondence to the Division. Please be reminded that the prospecting plan filed with DRMS <br />must be in compliance with all federal regulations. <br />Please submit all response materials (text and/or maps) by providing two sets of hard copies. Electronic versions <br />may also be emailed if you wish, but hard copies are still required. These materials may be sent directly to me at the <br />Durango field office: 691 CR 233, Room A-2, Durango, CO 81301. These items must be received here within 60 <br />days of the date of this letter or the NOI may be terminated (pursuant to Rule 5.1.3(c)). <br />I look forward to your responses. Please contact me if you have any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />P. <br />Bob Oswald <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Cc: Severo Chavez, 9544 Hiker Hill Road, San Diego, CA 92129 (agent for the applicant) <br />Thomas Malecek, US Forest Service, 13308 West Hwy 160, Del Norte, CO 81132 <br />Ec: Steve Shuey, DRMS, Grand Junction <br />(c:\11-03 docs\CME NOI adg2/rco)
