<br />tion for a bond release to the Division
<br />of Reclamation, Mining and Safely far
<br />He Manger Canyon Mine, mining per.
<br />mil No. C- 1981- 020.The mining permit
<br />was initially approved on January 13,
<br />1983 and most recently renewed on
<br />January 13, 2013. The current posted
<br />reclamation bond Is S65,966 and Is in
<br />the form of a corporate surety. This
<br />permit action will release approxi-
<br />moiety S24,000 of the bond liability.
<br />The area for which partial bond re-
<br />lease Is baing requested is the Mung•
<br />er Canyon portal site, haul road, light
<br />use road and reclaimed coal mine
<br />waste disposal area. Fine€ bond re-
<br />lease Is being requested at the Loma
<br />Loadout.
<br />During 2001 the 2.9 acre Loma load-
<br />out was contoured and seeded.There
<br />was poor initial vegetative establish-
<br />ment. During 2004 the 2.9 acre Loma
<br />loadout was re- seeded with a salt
<br />tolerant seed mixture. During 2005
<br />a 1.6 acre light use road located In
<br />Munger Canyon was contoured and
<br />seeded, The mine portal area, haul
<br />road and coat mine waste disposal
<br />arcs, encompassing 14.0 acres, were
<br />contoured and seeded during 2007.
<br />During the ensuing years the vegeta-
<br />tion has lloyrished, Based on a veg-
<br />etation evaluation performed during
<br />May and June 2013, a demonstration
<br />was mode that untreated drainage
<br />from the reclaimed areas do not con-
<br />tribute additional suspended solids
<br />above natural conditions. The vegeta-
<br />tion study at the mine site concludes
<br />the area sampled readily passes the
<br />Rround cove; requirement for Phase
<br />band release. The vegetation study
<br />at the Loma loadout concludes the
<br />area exhibits a stable, shrub and

<br />nity that appears more than capable
<br />of supporting numerous post-distur-
<br />bance land uses.
