Western Fuels - Colorado <br />P.O. Box 628 <br />Nucla, Colorado 81424 <br />�NMINE <br />July 6, 2011 <br />Sandy Brown <br />Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety <br />1313 Sherman St, Rm 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />Receive® <br />JUL 1 2 2011 <br />Division of Reclamation <br />Mining <br />Telephone 970/864 - 2165 RE: New Horizon (C 1981 - 008) Bond Release Application SL - 12 Adequacy <br />Fax 970/864 - 2168 <br />Dear Ms. Brown <br />This letter is in response to the Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety <br />(DRMS) letter dated June 28, 2011 received by Western Fuels- Colorado (WFC) <br />and Greg Lewicki & Associates (GLA). You will find our response to the items in <br />the June 28 letter attached. <br />WFC and GLA believe that this addresses all of the remaining items of concern for <br />the bond release application SL -12. WFC has demonstrated successful reclamation <br />of the areas included in the bond release application, above and beyond what is <br />required by the approved permit. Additionally, several of the items in the <br />Division's letter are not relevant to the bond release, but rather appear to address <br />matters that would be more appropriately addressed through a permit revision. <br />WFC is willing to provide information to the Division to facilitate its approval and <br />findings, but requests that any further information requests be presented in a face - <br />to -face meeting so that the parties can address the scope and relevance of the <br />information requested before WFC spends more resources responding to these <br />issues. <br />CC: Greg Lewicki, P.E. <br />Chris Kamper, Carver Schwarz McNabe & Bailey <br />Dave Berry, Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety <br />Marcia Talvitie, Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety <br />{ 00058185.1 } <br />Sincerely, <br />Ross bka, P.E., Chief Engineer <br />
