Notes <br />*1 —Task 131, SCC requested $17,301.24 and 18.2 hours to be released for this task. However, Pond 11 was withheld from Phase III <br />bond release and thus the liability associated with revegetation of this pond was not removed from this task. <br />*2 — Task 204, SCC requested a reduction of $5,930.78 and 72.3 hours for this task. The requested amount includes dollars and hours <br />for maintenance to be conducted on the CRDA 1 Access Road (1.2 acres) and all of the ponds/sediment control features. However, <br />the CRDA 1 Access Road and Pond 11 will not be Phase III bond released with the approval of SL9 and the liability for maintenance <br />of these features must be retained. <br />*3 — Task 205, SCC requested a reduction in the mobilization cost for this task based on the number of acres being requested for <br />Phase III bond release with SL9. SCC indicates that 44.6% of the remaining affected acres at the site will be Phase III bond released <br />with SL9, thus this task should be reduced by 44.6%. However, the Division must hold enough money to mobilize the equipment to <br />the site to complete reclamation on area not released from bond. Based on the tasks remaining in the cost estimate that have not been <br />bond released, the Division would need to mobilize the equipment listed in Task 205. Given this, no money or hours will be released <br />with this task for SL9. <br />*4 — Task 206, similar to item *3 above, SCC requested this task be reduced by 44.6%. However, this task is based on the number of <br />times the Division would have to mobilize equipment to the site (1 time/year) during the remaining liability period for the reclaimed <br />parcels. At this time, about four years remain in the liability period for the CRDA No. 1 Road and the CRDA No. 1 re -disturbance <br />area. Given this, at a minimum this equipment would be mobilized four times to conduct maintenance. Prior to the approval of SL9, <br />the cost estimate included a cost for mobilizing equipment to the site seven times. With the approval of SL9, this task can be reduced <br />by the cost to mobilize equipment three times. <br />*5 — Task 107, $331.70 is retained for this task. SCC requested Phase II bond release on 2.8 acres of land (Areas #9, # 10 and # 11). In <br />accordance with Rule 3.03.1(2)(b), up to 85% of the applicable bond shall be released upon establishment of vegetation which <br />supports the approved postmining land use. Given this requirement for Phase II liability, the Division can only release 85% of the <br />applicable bond for these areas. These areas were released from Phase I (60%) liability with SL8. The applicable bond for these areas <br />is based on the total liability estimated for the site prior to bond release. In the case of these areas, the PR5 cost estimate set the <br />liability for the site prior to SL8. Table 2 below depicts how the 85% applicable bond was calculated for these areas. The remaining <br />25% (85%-60%) of the applicable bond available for Phase II bond release is $3,706.75. Using the Division's December 3, 2015 cost <br />estimate, the total Phase II liability (topsoiling cost) for these areas was estimated to be $4,038.44 including both direct and indirect <br />cost. This amount is $331.70 more than the Division can release per Rule 3.03.1(2)(b), thus this dollar amount was retained. <br />C-1981-041, SL -09 Findings Document Page 58 of 79 <br />
