In a letter dated January 8, 2010 the Colorado Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety, in the
process of reviewing liability amounts, found that the permit system has produced a slight discrepancy
in the Trapper Mine's liability amount. The error occurs from the TR-104 decision and the TR-105
decision. It appears that our permit system did not include the liability amount of $19,479,903.00
approved in TR-104 for previous amount listed for TR-105, instead, using the amount of
$20,378,236.00.
This discrepancy in our system resulted in the approved liability amounts for TR-105 and PR-6 to be
higher than liability required. Based on this discrepancy, the Division informed the Trapper Mine that
it is currently over bonded by $898,333.00. However, this amount is incorrect as the reclamation cost
estimate for the entire mine site was updated with PR-06 which makes the original $30,099,557.00
amount correct. However, due to this discrepancy and an entire update the revised change in liability
amount for'PR6 should be $10,391,998.00. This amount changes both decision forms for TR106 and
TR107. Also TR107 change in liability puts the revised liability at $30,173,724.00. This is an
increase of $74, 167.00 than the bond held of $30,099,557.00. The revised decision forms for the
above mentioned revision are attached. These forms reflect the new liability amounts required for the
Trapper Mine's reclamation bond.
