MANAGEMENT <br />Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety RECEIVED <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 OCT 2 5 2016 <br />Re: Snowcap Coal Company, Inc. DIVISION OF RECLAMATION <br />Request for Bond Release (SL -9) MINING AND SAFETY <br />Revision <br />Permit No. C-1981-041 <br />Dear Mr. Ebert: <br />Your email dated October 14, 2016, transmitted the Division's decision not to grant SCC bond <br />release on the 1.2 acres at Pond 11. It also stated that there were several vegetation monitoring <br />transects that were used to evaluate revegetation success that appear to be within the 1.2 acre <br />Pond 11 area, and that the Division will have to evaluate if the bond release area still meets the <br />revegetation success criteria without the cover data from these transects. <br />Enclosed is revised Tab 9 for SI -9 Bond Release Application. This includes the revised Soils Loss <br />Comparison Summary and Vegetation Cover Evaluation where transect data from Pond 11 area <br />was removed. An electronic copy was transmitted to the Division via email on October 18, 2016. <br />Please let me know if you have any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />Tonya K, Hammond <br />Owner's Representative <br />Enclosures <br />cc: Mesa County Clerk, BLM, OSM, SCC File <br />
