PERMIT #: M- 1977 -324 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: TCI <br />INSPECTION DATE: June 19, 2014 <br />of the affected area approved for permit M -77 -324 as a result of the approval of the [conversion]. <br />Bond: <br />The currently held bond is $38,500. This bond is for a maximum disturbance of 18.1 acres at one time <br />approved in the 1993 conversion application. The financial warranty has not been updated since the 1993 <br />approval. However, the current bond held by the Division is deemed adequate for the current 9.25 (2015 <br />annual report) acres of disturbance at $4,162 /acre, and likely still adequate for the Google Earth measured <br />disturbance of 12.4 acres ($3,115 /acre). <br />Summary and Recommendations: <br />1. The Division has no record on file of the specific changes to the highwall reclamation plan submitted on <br />March 5, 1998. Please provide a copy of the requested revisions if available. <br />2. The Operators should consider requesting either an acreage reduction request to remove the <br />southeast corner of the site from the permit (if no future disturbance is planned in this area) in order <br />to avoid increasing the bond in the near future. <br />3. The financial warranty has not been updated in 22 years. However, because approximately half of the <br />maximum allowed disturbed area has been affected, the current bond is considered adequate. <br />PHOTOGRAPHS <br />M <br />- SU � RICK &TILE CQ.
