Cattany <br />Division Director <br />Natural Resource Trustee <br />1981-021, Submittal of Proposed Final Reclamation Map <br />This office is in receipt of the above-named reclamation map for the West Sunday Mine. As part of our <br />review of its adequacy comparison was made to the pre-reclamation condition depicted on the mining <br />map received by this office on October 3, 2003, for Technical Revision TR-03. The TR-03 was approved, <br />with the new mining map becoming revised Exhibit C (per Rule 6.4.3). It was agreed that an updated <br />reclamation map was still needed and would be submitted. The new reclamation map fulfills that need, <br />and is considered to be the revised Exhibit F (Reclamation Map), pursuant to Rule 6.4.6. <br />Findings of our review of this reclamation map are summarized as follows: <br />1. All necessazy items aze included and adequately depicted as reclaimed features. <br />2. The map scale is appropriate for depicting all necessazy details. <br />3. Inclusion of the pre-reclamation spot elevations and post-reclamation topography allows adequate <br />earthwork estimation for bond recalculation. <br />This new map meets all standards of the applicable portions of Rules 6.2 and 6.4, and is a valuable <br />addition to the permit file. The map represents the present reclamation scenario, but its approval does not <br />constitute any requirement to begin reclamation. Please be reminded that the reclamation plan or <br />reclamation map maybe revised if needed. <br />With this new map in-hand, I will begin to recalculate the bond for this permit and send you the <br />preliminazy figures for your review. These will be based on the present site condition, reclamation plan <br />details (under the recent technical revision), and current equipment and labor rates. <br />As always, this office appreciates the diligence and effort in preparing this high quality map product. If <br />you have questions, I may be reached at the Division's Durango field office: 701 Camino de] Rio, Room <br />125, Durango, CO 81301; telephone 970-247-5193 or fax 970-247-5104. <br />Office of Office of Colorado <br />
