The application is complete. <br />2. The project qualifies as coal exploration rather than coal mining. <br />3. Your project will substantially disturb the natural land surface. Therefore you will be <br />required to submit a bond to cover the cost of reclamation. The Division has <br />calculated the liability to be $20, 539. A copy of the detailed estimate is enclosed. <br />There are two issues to address with the application. <br />Rule 4.07.3 states that an abandoned drillhole "shall be marked." The applicant indicates <br />that the GPS coordinates will be recorded. The Division requests that, in addition to the <br />GPS, that a physical marker be placed on the abandoned drillhole. This can be <br />something as simple as a brass cap mazker at ground level. <br />Secondly, the applicant has provided a selection of seed mixes for various land uses, but <br />has not indicated which land use is appropriate for the disturbed sites. Please indicate <br />which of the seed mixes is proposed. The Division has concerns about the seed mix <br />listed for pastureland. <br />Office of Office of Colorado <br />Mined Land Reclamation Active and lnadive Mines Gminairal Survnv <br />
