This is a bond reduction of $2,048.00. <br />Therefore, the Operator may request a bond reduction based on the Division approved, calculated amount of <br />$46,152.00. If the Operator wishes to pursue this course of action, please submit a written bond reduction <br />request referencing this correspondence, the reason for this reduction, and the revised bond amount. In addition, <br />the Operator must submit a replacement bond for exactly $46,152.00. If you wish to submit a different type of <br />Financial Warranty than was originally submitted, please contact the Division so that we may send you the <br />applicable form. The required forms are also available on our website at (under the dark blue heading "Mineral <br />Warranty Forms'): bq://mining.state.co.us/Mineral%20Forms.htin <br />If you have any questions, please contact me at (303) 866 -4179. <br />Sincerely, <br />Deb ack <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Enclosure: Division Revised Bond Calculation, January 23, 2008 <br />cc: Tony Waldron, DRMS <br />Elizabeth T.
