Staff is satisfied that all issues and clarifications noted in the PAR have been addressed for the above <br />referenced application. <br />The final step before staff issues a decision is the establishment of the required Financial Surety for the <br />estimated costs to reclaim the site per the proposed plans. Please find enclosed staff's estimate for costs <br />associated with the project as proposed in the Mining and Reclamation Plans. As you will see, staff's <br />estimate is 5144.326.00 for reclamation. Lewicki and Associates estimate is 5146,932.00. Although the <br />tasks are broken down differently the 2 estimates are very close. Review the estimate and if there are any <br />changes or corrections please notify staff immediately. <br />The decision date for this application is February 12, 2003. If Old Castle SW accepts the estimated <br />Financial Warranty, staff will need acceptance by phorie and follow up documentation. If there are issues <br />that need to be addressed within the bond estimate, Old Castle SW will need to request an extension to the <br />decision date to afford time to work out any problems. <br />If you need additional information, please contact me at the Division of Minerals and Geology, Grand <br />Junction Field Office, 101 S. 3rd St.; Suite 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, telephone no. <br />970.241.1 117. <br />Sincerely, <br />t~~ <br />G.
