The current reclamation cost estimate and bond covers the 202.9 acres disturbed south of Meehan <br />Draw. The area north of Meehan Draw was permitted but not bonded because it was not proposed to be <br />disturbed during the initial 5 -year permit term. The next 5 -year permit term, with the approval of RN -1, <br />will include disturbances in the area north of Meehan Draw as shown on Map 2.05.2-1. The Division is <br />in the process of creating a RCE with separate line items for the area north of Meehan Draw and will <br />submit it to Tri-State for comment when it is complete. <br />2. The equipment corridor is a permitted and bonded item that was approved for disturbance to move <br />mining equipment from NH2 to NHN at permit issuance. The corridor was inspected last summer and <br />no disturbances were noted indicating that the corridor has not been utilized. Does ERMR want to <br />maintain the equipment corridor as a permitted and bonded item? <br />2.05.6(3) — Mitigation of the Impacts of Mining Operations <br />1.
