Page 2 <br />In order for this office to accept a bond provided by the prospector for this project, the prospector must register with <br />the Colorado Secretary of State's Business Section, and obtain a "certificate of good standing" as a company licensed <br />to do business in the state. Please provide the prospector's business ID number or a copy of the certificate of good <br />standing issued by the Secretary of State. If the prospector has not already registered, please go to this website: <br />h"://www.sos.state.co.us/biz/BusinessEntityCriteriaExt.do. Please ensure that the registered name matches exactly <br />the prospector's company name in the NOI. After this has been completed, please provide either the ID number or <br />certificate to this office. <br />Based on the plan as presented in the NOI and in follow-up correspondence, this office has estimated the reclamation <br />costs. The estimated bond amount is $2,552, as shown on the enclosed packet. Probable reclamation tasks include <br />removal and disposal of some debris, minor pad shaping for drainage, and mobilization of equipment to the site. <br />There is no task related to portal closure, which assumes (and requires) that a lockable steel door be maintained and <br />utilized upon termination. There is no task related to road reclamation either, which assumes that no significant <br />improvements will be made to the existing access road. Bonding related to general road use, possibly to be required <br />by the USFS, is beyond our jurisdiction and we are prevented from including it in the DRMS bond. There is no task <br />related to topsoil or revegetation. Please notify me if there are errors to this estimate. If the project is modified, the <br />bond amount will be reviewed. <br />Please provide the requested items at your earliest convenience. There should be two complete sets of all materials, <br />and they may be sent directly to me at the Division's Durango field office: 691 CR 233, Room A-2, Durango, CO <br />81301.
