In addition, the <br />following is the status of the Division's comments and questions: <br />Section 2.05.3, Oaeration Plan <br />Please revise Map IS-2, Mine Facilities, to restore the cross hatching designation on the <br />map and in the legend for the material storage areas. <br />This issue is still urtresolved. <br />Section 2.05.4. Reclamation Plan <br />2. The Division is in the process of reviewing the reclamation cost estimate for TR-50. When <br />the review is done, the cost estimate will be sent to BRL for its review. <br />Attached is the Division's reclamation cost estimate for TR-S0. The estimate consists of <br />five tasks (a summary sheet and tasks 241-244) and represents an increase in liability of <br />$10,578. The Division's estimate is slightly less than BRL's estimate of $12,090. Please <br />review the estimate and inform the Division in writing whether or not it is acceptable to <br />BRL. <br />Section 4.05.3, Diversions and Conveyance of Overland Flow <br />3. In the TR-50 submittal cover letter, it is stated that an "undesigned"culvert will he <br />installed on the south end of the off ce parking lot. The Division believes that the <br />proposed culvert should he designed since it apparently receives runoff water from ditch <br />Office of Office of <br />Mined Land Reclamation Denver Grand Junction Durango Active and Inactive Mines <br />
