MR -127 adds <br />Exhibit 23 to Volume 13 with proposed exploration drill holes within the South <br />Taylor Pit. This drilling program will provide Colowyo with additional information <br />to define the coal seams and geologic structure within the South Taylor Pit. All <br />proposed drill sites will be within the current disturbance footprint, and <br />additional surface disturbance will not be necessary with the proposed drilling <br />locations. <br />Included in Exhibit 23 is a bond calculation for all drill holes proposed under this <br />cover. Currently, the bond held by the Division exceeds Colowyo's total <br />reclamation liability; therefore, with the additional increase proposed under the <br />cover, Colowyo will not be required to submit a bond rider to cover these <br />increases in liability. <br />Furthermore, as required, Colowyo will be incorporating this information in the <br />Section 12 of the 2013 Annual Reclamation Report. <br />Also included under this cover are a revision application and a change of index <br />sheet to ease incorporation into the permit document. If you should have any <br />additional questions or concerns please feel free to contact Tony Tennyson at <br />(970) 824 -1232. <br />A wining property of Westeivi 1`ueZS- Colo;'i ,4o ,'-I Ll ?wheel i'fbility ("Olnt1au."'l <br />
