They apparently sent the paper work earlier in <br /> the fall, however it was never received. Recently they sent a duplicate copy, the original of which <br /> is enclosed. <br /> The grant will provide $7,500 for the purpose of planting trees at Coal Basin on National Forest <br /> lands. It is my understanding that the money is to be used for purchasing trees. The cost of <br /> planting the trees would be paid from other sources, presumably the bond money. The permit and <br /> the Findings documents specify a tree planting rate on reclaimed lands, so it does not appear that <br /> planting of trees with bond money is an inappropriate use of those funds. The $7,500 should be <br /> sufficient to purchase between six and nine thousand trees. <br /> The white attachment pages (Amendment No. 7) to the Collection Agreement should be modified <br /> on a typewriter at"Amend"A. The National Arbor Day Foundation...", by deleting my name and <br /> address, and inserting: <br /> Mr. Michael Long <br /> Director <br /> Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology <br /> 1313 Sherman Street Room 213 <br /> Denver, Co 80203 <br /> Strike " USDA Forest Service."and insert"Division of Minerals and Geology"under the signature <br /> block at the bottom of each page. I have discussed both of these changes with Kevin Sander of <br /> the Arbor Day Foundation, and they agreed to both. <br /> Mike should sign both copies of Amendment No. 7, sending one copy to the National Arbor Day <br /> Foundation, attention Mr. Kevin Sander, at the address shown on page 3 of the Collection <br />
