October 16, 2013 <br />To: Marcia Talvitie <br />From: Susan Burgmaier j <br />Re: New Horizon Mine (Permit No. C- 1981 -008) <br />Phase 1/III Bond Release Request (SL -13) <br />Reclamation Cost Estimate <br />I have completed a revised cost estimate for remaining reclamation liability following the proposed <br />Phase I and Phase III Bond Release (SL -13) at the New Horizon Mine. After the proposed release <br />with SL -13, the estimated cost for reclamation is $5,113,540.32. <br />It is my understanding that the Division will be approving Phase I release on 100.159 acres of <br />regraded pit area and Phase III release on 7.215 acres of county road reclamation. This cost estimate <br />is based on that approval. <br />WFC requested the release of $481,614.00 from Tasks 90 and 91 in the reclamation cost estimate, <br />for pavement and gravel installation on BB Road and 2700 Road. My reclamation cost estimate <br />removes the $481,614.00 costs requested by WFC, as well as associated indirect costs on that <br />amount, for a total release of $589,160.49 <br />Prior to this bond release, the estimated reclamation cost for the entire site, calculated for RN6, was <br />$5,702,700.81; the current estimate with SL13 is $5,113,540.32. The proposed release amount is <br />$589,160.49. The revised reclamation cost estimate packet is attached. Should you or the operator <br />have questions or need additional information, please let me know. <br />cc: Sandy Brown, w /out enclosure <br />
