J • <br /> and/or other activities related to the performance standards of Section 3.1 of the Hard <br /> Rock/Metal Mining Rules, which will continue to be implemented during periods of <br /> temporary cessation and are incorporated by reference into this letter. <br /> The existing financial warranty of$87,771.76 held by the Division and United States <br /> Department of Energy is adequate to cover the reclamation liability of the site as it exists <br /> today. Reclamation activities that would be required at this time include removing the <br /> compressor building, plugging the portal, re-contouring the mine waste dump, spreading soil <br /> material, pocking the waste dump, seeding, and plugging ventholes, as set forth in Exhibit L <br /> to Cotter's Application Amendment. <br /> Cotter plans to resume production operations at this mine after the price of uranium returns to <br /> a profitable point and the District Court dissolves the injunction described above. The plan <br /> for such resumption of mining is attached as Exhibit D to Cotter's Application Amendment. <br /> Cotter has not begun reclamation because the SM-18 Mine contains valuable minerals that <br /> Cotter anticipates can be mined at a profit and, as explained in Exhibit E to Cotter's <br /> Application Amendment, reclamation cannot begin until all mining activity has ceased. <br /> Enclosed is a check for$115.00 to cover the fee associated with this Notice of Temporary <br /> Cessation. <br /> If you have further questions regarding this submittal, please contact me at(858) 455-3275. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Ken Mushinski <br /> President <br /> 2 <br />
