Responses are fully adequate for the following comments: 1, through 4, 6, 7, our follow-up <br />comments are shown below 5; and we provided a new comment 8. <br /> <br />EXHIBIT L - Reclamation Costs (Rule 6.4.12): <br /> <br />5) The required finical warranty will be set at $1,377,450. The required financial warranty includes the <br />cost from all reclamation tasked outlined in this permitting action and previously approved <br />applicable permitting actions, the required finical warranty does not contain costs for any <br />reclamation previously completed. If the Operator would like to remove the rip-rap from around the <br />reservoir shorelines the request must be done in a subsequent permitting action. The cost for the rip- <br />rap will remain in the required financial warranty until it’s removed through the appropriate <br />permitting action. <br /> <br />General Questions and Comments <br /> <br />8) On September 18, 2015 The Division received your submittal to the Preliminary Adequacy Review <br />letter and a letter addressing the Objection received from Frei.
