Stevens: <br />OCT 1. + 1991 <br />/._-`--hf,+J~.ed Land <br />RE: CMLRD1l# M-77- ~3QClj%`~ti~r D;.;Si:;~ <br />As a follow-up to the note from C.L. Pair dated 8/1/91, I am attaching cost <br />estimates for bonding, together with our suggested mitigation measures for a <br />revised permit for Holnam Inc. at their Boettcher sandstone quarry in Lorimer <br />County. <br />To review the background of this action, it vas determined early this year that <br />disturbance at the quarry had exceeded 5 acres, which on BLN land requires <br />submission of a Plan of Operations instead of a Notice of Intent to Prospect. A <br />Plan of Operations must be bonded and requires an Environmental Assessment (EA) <br />to determine, among other things, proper mitigation measures. The EA has been <br />completed. <br />It is my understanding that CMLRD presently holds a bond of 55,000 covering the <br />Holnam Sandstone Quarry. Based on our computations (attached) we feel that this <br />should be increased to $10,600 as a minimum. <br />Charles Fair of my staff suggested to Roy Stienmier at Holnam that he submit a <br />revised application to you covering their penit. I don't know if he has done <br />that. <br />For your information, Holnam also has applied for patent on these claims. If <br />patent is issued, the BLM no longer would be involved in reclamation of this <br />site. <br />If you have any questions, contact Charles Pair of my office at (719) 375-Ob31. <br />Sincerely yours, <br />~~~ ~, ~~ <br />Area Mana er <br />9 <br />Attachments: 3 <br />Mitigation Heasures <br />Plan of Operations - Addendum <br />Reclamation Bond Evaluation Worksheet <br />iii iiiiiiiiniiiiu <br />999 <br />pp~~TApR~E <br />AMERI(~A~ <br />~~ <br />~~ i <br />3809 <br />(co-os7) <br /> <br />
