Steep slopes as defined in Rule <br />1.04(125) exist in the South Portal disturbed area and they are depicted on Exhibit 6C of the permit <br />document. As allowed for in Rule 2.06.5, SCC requested an AOC variance with Permit Revision N o. <br />3 (PR - <br />3) for these steep slopes to alloy for an alternative commercial postmining land use. <br />Within PR -3, SCC requested, and the Division approved, a variance from the AOC restoration <br />requirements for steep slope mining, pursuant to Rules 2.06.5 and 4.27.4. Approval of the variance has <br />allowed SCC to retain the flat mine bench, the existing shop and warehouse, an access road and parking <br />areas for the approved commercial postmining land use at the South Portal facilities area. The specific <br />findings required by Rule 2.06.5 and by Rule 4.27.4 for the South Portal area are provided in Section B. <br />VIII of the Proposed Decision and Findings of Compliance for Permit Revision No. 3 dated July 30, <br />2007. <br />There are no other permit variance requests or approvals for the Roadside North and South Portal Mines. <br />SECTION V1- BONDING SUMMARY <br />The Division currently holds a surety bond in the amount of $65,702.24 (Liberty Mutual Insurance <br />Company).
