The responses appear to answer and clarify all of the questions and concerns <br />detailed in my letter to you, dated March 9, 2001. The application and its exhibits, plus the adequacy responses are <br />adequate for approval. 1 will _contact our Denver office of this decision, and they will notify you formally of the <br />approval under separate cover <br />1 also calculated the estimated reclamation costs for this operation, the figures for which are enclosed following this <br />letter. The assumptions and basis for the volumes, distances, grades and acreages are noted on the task sheets. To <br />begin the calculations, I verified the numbers provided by Mr. Conger th E~Itibits E, F and L. I am satisfied that his <br />figures and choices of equipment were reasonable, so I used them in my calculations also. You will see some <br />higher task costs in my estimate, most of which can probably be attributed to our recently updated equipment rental <br />rates and labor costs. The packet of reclamation tasks begins with a summary showing the direct and indirect costs, <br />followed by the individual task sheets, then the equipment production sheets. <br />The total estimated bond amount for this phased operation is $51.615. You should contact Ms. Suzi Ericksen at our <br />Denver office for the correct bond forms or for any other bond-related question. (Far any question about something <br />shown on any of these calculation sheets, please contact me.) <br />If you have questions or comments, I may be reached at the Division's Durango field office: 701 Camino del Rio, <br />Room 12~, Durango, CO 81301; tel 970/247-5 l93 or fae 970/247-5104. Thank you for your cooperation during <br />this application review period, and for the well-prepared application materials. <br />Sincerely, /~ <br />Bob Oswald <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />cc.
