In addition, we have determined the bond amount of $224,304.22, calculated and held <br />by the State of Colorado, to be adequate in covering costs to reclaim the surface disturbances to a <br />status consistent with Forest Plan management prescriptions for that area. <br />Therefore, through this letter, the Forest Service concurs to the Bureau of Land Management's <br />terms of approval for the referenced exploration plan.
