Box 1665 Division Director <br />Craig, CO 81626 Natural Resource Trustee <br />f~ <br />Re: Deakins Pit ,Permit No. M - 2001 - 060, Reclamation Costs Update and Notice of Surety Increase AM- <br />O1. <br />Dear Mr. Baker: <br />The Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety has calculated the bond estimate for the above referenced <br />amendment application. Staff has calculated the initial reclamation liability for the proposed increase of the <br />mine using information within the application and information submitted by 3B Enterprises, LLC. The estimate <br />is based on what it would cost the state to hire a contractor to reclaim the site if the bond was forfeited and <br />not necessarily what it would cost 3B Enterprises to do the work. <br />Staffs estimate for the proposed reclamation of the site is $40,582.00, rounded off to $40,600.00. The <br />calculation is for the existing pit and the proposed additional lot located to the east and does not account for <br />any disturbance in the proposed lot across ls` Street to the west of the existing pit. The Division must be <br />notified prior to any disturbance in the west lot for a recalculation of the bond to account for additional <br />reclamation liability. Please review the estimate carefully. Should there be any questions or corrections <br />contact staff immediately. <br />If you need additional information, please contact me at the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety, <br />Grand Junction Field Office, 101 S. 3rd St., Suite 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, telephone no. <br />970.623.5596. <br />Sincerely, <br />Travis Marshall <br />Environmental Protection Specialist, Grand Junction Field Office <br />Cc: Carl Mount, Senior Environmental Protection Specialist, North Team Supervisor. <br />Office of Office of <br />Mjned Land Reclamation Denver Grand Junction Durango Active and Inactive Mines <br />_ r <br />
