the Division (or DRMS) from "DMG ". Pages 2 -3, 2 -15, 2 -20, 2 -24, 3 -3, 4 -10 and Table <br />3.7 -1. <br />4. Please submit an updated Section 2.1.3 — Production (starting on page 2 -3) and <br />associated table (page 2 -4) for the production of McClane Mine from 2006 to 2013. <br />5. Please submit an update Figure 2.1 -1, if needed, to reflect the actual schedule up to 2013 <br />and projected schedule for future years. <br />6. Page 2 -27 includes discussion of a pending technical revision application to construct a <br />coal mine waste disposal area within the McClane Canyon Mine permit. Please submit a <br />page 2 -27 with an updated reference to the submitted technical revision application. <br />7. Page 4 -16 refers to the typical stratigraphic column in the vicinity of the Cameo Coal <br />Seam to be shown in Figure 2.1 -12 which doesn't or no longer exists within the permit. <br />Please submit an updated page 4 -16 with the corrected figure reference. <br />8. Please submit an update Figure 2.2 -1, if needed, to reflect the current affected area by <br />mining up to the year 2013 and future affected area. <br />9. Please submit and updated Table 3.7 -2, if needed, to reflect the current expected <br />reclamation timetable. <br />10. Please submit an updated Table 4.3.9 — Threatened and Endangered Species if needed. <br />11. Please submit additional bond monies in the amount of $61,914.21. As summarized <br />below in Section VI of this document, the current amount of bond held is deficient. The <br />Division conducted a review of the McClane Mine reclamation liability, in association with <br />this midterm permit review. We have prepared an updated cost estimate (enclosed as <br />Attachment 1.). The new liability is $452,909.21. This liability is $61,914.21 more than <br />the current liability and bond held (of $390,995.00). <br />SECTION V — PERMIT VARIANCES AND SPECIFIC APPROVALS <br />The Division has approved a variance from meeting approximate original contour for reclaimed <br />areas. The variance was approved following a demonstration that the requirements of Rule 2.06.4 <br />and 2.06.5 had been met, pursuant to Rule 4.27.3. In addition, the Division found that the applicant <br />had demonstrated that requirements of Rule 4.27.4 would be met. Information upon which these <br />findings were based can be found on pages 3 -2 through 3 -5 ofthe permit application. The landowner <br />request from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), pursuant to Rules 4.27.4(4) and 2.06.5(2)(e), <br />is included in Appendix K, of Volume IV, of the permit application. <br />The lower portion of the disturbed area will be returned to AOC, but the mine bench area was <br />granted the limited variance, to allow for backfilled slopes of lesser gradient, which would meet <br />applicable stability criteria and support the approved post -mine land use. The mine highwall was <br />completely backfilled, with the natural sandstone outcrop that forms a near vertical face above the <br />portals to remain undisturbed. <br />5 <br />
