Hickenlooper <br />Governor <br />Mike King <br />Executive Director <br />Loretta E. Pineda <br />Director <br />The Division received the packet containing the application materials pertaining to the Notice of Intent (NOI) named <br />above on July 6, 2011, and the non - confidential contents of it will be posted on the Division's website. <br />The Division is reviewing the NOI for deficiencies that must be corrected or additionally provided, and several items <br />were noted that require response from you. Please provide the responses needed for all items that are listed in the <br />following paragraphs. <br />1. The evidence of notification to the BLM office was not included in your NOI submittal. Please provide the <br />proof of notification. <br />2. The acreage of the area to be disturbed does not appear to include the surfaces impacted by overland travel, <br />though your reclamation plan does state that those areas will be scarified if needed and then seeded. Please <br />revise the total acreage figure to include the area of overland travel. <br />3. The species and seeding rates shown in the BLM- approved seed mix are appropriate for this area. However, <br />the footnote below the seed mix contains an error. It should read, "* This reflects the drilled seeding rate of <br />40 PLS per square foot, it needs to be doubled if broadcast." Please comment. <br />4. The option to use straw mulch was left open- ended. Please state whether mulch will be used during <br />reclamation. <br />5. No bond was submitted with this NOI, which is a deficiency, but the Division will calculate a bond amount <br />for this NOI during the review period and notify you as to the amount. <br />This office will coordinate its review with the Dolores office of the BLM. Please forward to me any pertinent <br />correspondence received from BLM. I will contact you if I find additional items during the review that need <br />responses. <br />Office of <br />Mined Land Reclamation <br />Office of <br />Denver • Grand Junction • Durango Active and Inactive Mines <br />
