These drilling projects are all <br />located on BLM lands in the vicinity of Egnar, Colorado. They are known by the following BLM and DRMS serial <br />numbers. <br />Name <br />BLM Serial Number <br />DRMS Serial Number <br />Fire House East <br />COC -74221 <br />P- 2009 -032 <br />HDI <br />COC -74239 <br />P- 2009 -037 <br />HD2 <br />COC -74543 <br />P- 2010 -012 <br />Slickrock <br />COC -74220 <br />P- 2009 -031 <br />EG -PR 1 <br />COC -74602 <br />P- 2010 -022 <br />PI <br />I COC 74259 <br />P- 2009 -039 <br />F1 I <br />COC -74240 <br />P- 2009 -036 <br />Copies of each inspection report are included with this letter as attachments. All of these projects were drilled <br />during the 2010 or 2011 drilling season. Only those drill sites that were actually disturbed, and identified as <br />needing additional reclamation or time to re- vegetate, as indicated from 2011 inspection reports were revisited in <br />2012. Earthwork at all of the sites is complete and all sites are stable. No significant erosion problems were <br />observed that appeared likely to be connected to these drilling projects. Vegetation was established at all sites. A <br />few individual drill holes could have had better vegetation growth, however it was clear that they were on the right <br />path, and returning for additional inspections year after year to monitor a fraction of an acre of vegetation growth <br />would not be an efficient use of funds. The cost to the government to continue visiting these sites likely exceeds any <br />remaining reclamation liability. For this reason, I recommend that CDRMS return the bonds for these projects to <br />Lynx- Royali if CDRMS concurs with this assessment. If you have any additional questions, please contact James <br />Blair at 970 - 882 -6862. <br />Attachments: 7 inspection reports <br />CC: Mike Leidich, Lynx Royal. <br />7011 0410 000l <br />Vk Celkr.
