As provided for in the Memorandum of <br />Understanding Between The State of Colorado, Department of Natural Resources, Division of <br />Reclamation, Mining and Safety and the USDA, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Region, <br />executed 5/27/2010, we have reviewed the bond for sufficiency. I've determined that the <br />$41,000 will be sufficient. <br />I would like to clarify one detail that differs from that described in your 10/4/2011 letter. That <br />letter states that "two access berms "tank traps" are to be removed and re- established when the <br />drilling is complete." Actually, I have agreed with the operator that one will be removed for the <br />operation and then reconstructed. An additional two "tank traps" will be constructed in an area <br />where travel to the public is closed and there is presently an ineffective tank trap. The total to be <br />constructed will be three. <br />Thank you for your work on this project and for your coordination with the Gunnison Ranger <br />District. If you have further questions, please call Cathy Mask at 970 - 642 -4412. <br />Sincerely, <br />pv,l A �P <br />JOHN R.
