<br />OSM finds that Colowyo has met or exceeded the requirements for Phase III bond release on the
<br />979.52 acres of land as described above.
<br />DRMS currently holds a performance bond in the amount of $69,517,830.00. This action will
<br />release $692,320.04. DRMS has determined that the remaining bond amount of $68,825,509.96
<br />is sufficient to complete all remaining reclamation obligations at this site if the work had to be
<br />completed by a third party contractor. OSM concurs with the proposed bond release amount.
<br />Thank you and your staff for coordinating this Federal mine bond release action through the
<br />DFD. Please direct any questions concerning this action to Spencer Shumate, Natural Resources
<br />Specialist at jshumate @osmre.gov or (303) 293 -5046.
