and in good condition. Topsoil has been replaced in accordance with the approved reclamation <br />plan, the areas have been reseeded as required and the bond release areas have been reclaimed <br />for a post -mining land use of rangeland and wildlife habitat. Colowyo has successfully <br />demonstrated that the cover, production, species diversity and woody plan density establishment <br />on the Phase III Bond Release areas meets or exceeds the reclamation success standards on the <br />reference areas. The Division finds that Colowyo has achieved the requirements for partial Phase <br />III Bond Release on 202.4 acres at the Colowyo Mine. <br />V. PROPOSED DECISION <br />Based on the observations in Section IV above, the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, and <br />Safety proposes to approve Colowyo's request for a partial Phase III Bond Release for the Colowyo <br />Mine. This proposed decision will release the applicant from reclamation liability on 202.4 acres of <br />the site, as shown on Figure 1 at the end of this document. <br />Phase III <br />The Division holds a performance bond in the amount of $80,517,829.00 for the Colowyo Mine. <br />The Division has calculated the amount associated with the Partial Phase III Bond release area and <br />it totals $140,224.00. This Partial Phase III Bond Release is a release of the reclamation liability in <br />the SL -10 area. The Division estimates its cost to complete remaining reclamation work to the <br />applicable area (East and West Pit) to be $9,939,547.00. This amount is sufficient to assure <br />completion of the remaining reclamation work to the applicable area if the work had to be <br />performed by the Division, including the cost of reestablishing vegetation on any revegetated areas, <br />should those areas fail. With the releasable amount of $140,224.00, the Division will still hold a <br />bond in the amount of $9,968,806.00 which is $29,259.00 more than the minimum required liability <br />to fully reclaim the remaining disturbed areas of the East and West Pit at the Colowyo Mine. <br />Any person with a valid legal interest which might be adversely affected by this proposed decision <br />may request a formal public hearing before the Mined Land Reclamation Board in accordance with <br />Rule 3.03.2(6). Public notice of this proposed decision will be published twice in the Craig Daily <br />Press as soon as possible. Requests for public hearing must be submitted to the Division in writing <br />within thirty days of the first publication in the Craig Daily Press. If no hearing is requested within <br />those thirty days, the Division's decision will become fmal. <br />This concludes the Proposed Decision and Findings of Compliance for the Colowyo Mine Partial <br />Phase III Bond Release SL -10. <br />Proposed Decision and Findings of Compliance January 2017 <br />Partial Phase III Bond Release SL -10 Page 10 <br />
