pond embankments and ripped road beds are some areas which <br /> would likely be sampled. <br /> Documents pertaining to this interrogatory will be made <br /> available for inspection at a mutually convenient time at the <br /> Division' s offices in Denver and\or Grand Junction. <br /> 52 . In the DMG Reclamation Accounting under the <br /> caption "Contaminated Soils Identification and Disposal" <br /> certain costs are proposed, please identify these areas and <br /> the suspected problem. Please explain what work has been or <br /> is proposed for this soil problem by location, component and <br /> cost, where in the approved Reclamation Plan this work is the <br /> responsibility of MCR and where this covered in the <br /> Reclamation Bond?
