Staff has reviewed and accepted the bonding <br />documentation. This replaces Washington International bond # S9039346 in the amount of $50,213.00 <br />which is now released. Therefore the Division is withdrawing the enforcement action before the Mined <br />Land Reclamation Board scheduled for September 14, 2011. <br />Currently the Division has an outstanding incomplete application for an amendment to change the post <br />mine land use and revise the reclamation plan received on June 13, 2011. Usually if the issues are not <br />addressed within 60 days the amendment is denied. However, since the amendment was delayed due <br />to the above mentioned warranty issue staff is giving you an additional 30 days to submit the <br />information and fee as outlined in a letter dated June 25, 2011. If the Hales wish to wait on the <br />amendment at this time a letter of withdrawal will close the action. <br />If you need additional information please contact me at the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety, <br />Grand Junction Field Office, 101 S. 3rd St., Suite 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, or by telephone <br />no. 970.241.1117. <br />Sincerely, <br />G.
