SUMMARY OF THE BOND RELEASE PROCESS <br /> History of Previous Bond Release Submittals <br /> The Division approved a full release of reclamation liability for the Craig Generation Plant Loadout in <br /> December 1985. That approval was for release of reclamation liability only. No money was returned; that is, <br /> there was no reduction in the amount of actual bond monies held by the Division. <br /> Other bond release submittals(SL-0 I through SL-18)are summarized in Table II,including a history of liability <br /> reductions requested by TMI. None of the prior bond releases resulted in an immediate change in the amount <br /> of actual bond monies held by the Division,but did lead to changes in monies held during subsequent actions <br /> such as permit renewals. <br /> Permit Number C 1981010 Prepared by: R.Reilley,MS,LISP <br /> SL 18 Page 3 of 22 <br />
