The sites inspected included TC1 and TC2 which were <br />boreholes drilled as monitoring wells on the property that you now own. The attached documents show <br />that one of these wells was plugged and abandoned on August 29, 2007, and that the other was <br />permitted as a domestic water well and transferred to your ownership on April 15, 2019. <br />I am not aware of any reason why the reclamation bond associated with these two wells cannot be <br />released. <br />If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. <br />Email: leigh.simmons@state.co.us <br />Phone: 720 220 1180 <br />Yours sincerely, <br />Leigh Simmons <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, CO 80203 P 303.866.3567 F 303.832.8106 http://mining. state. co. us <br />Jared S.
