Reclamation at the Trapper Mine continues as the mining of pits progresses <br /> eastward. On active mine areas, backfilling and grading, topsoil redistribution and seeding occur <br /> contemporaneously. <br /> II. 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 <br /> Loadout in December 1985. That approval was for release of reclamation liability only. No money <br /> was returned; that is, there was no reduction in the amount of actual bond monies held by the <br /> Division. <br /> Other bond release submittals(SLO I through SL19)are summarized in Table 1,including a history <br /> of liability reductions requested by TMI. None of the prior bond releases resulted in an immediate <br /> change in the amount of actual bond monies held by the Division,but did lead to changes in monies <br /> held during subsequent actions such as permit renewals. <br /> Permit Number C 19 81010 <br /> SL19 <br />
