Reclamation at the Trapper Mine continues as the mining of pits progresses eastward. <br /> On active mine areas, backfilling and grading, topsoil redistribution and seeding occur <br /> contemporaneously. <br /> IL SUMMARY OF THE BOND RELEASE PROCESS <br /> History of Previous Bond Release Submittals <br /> The Division approved a full release of <br /> reclamation liability for the Craig Generation <br /> Plant Loadout in December 1985. That <br /> approval was for release of reclamation <br /> liability only. No money was returned;that is, <br /> there was no reduction in the amount of actual <br /> bond monies held by the Division. <br /> Other bond release submittals (SLOI through <br /> SL22)are summarized in Table 1, including a <br /> history of liability reductions requested by <br /> TML None of the prior bond releases resulted <br /> in an immediate change in the amount of <br /> actual bond monies held by the Division, but <br /> did lead to changes in monies held during <br /> subsequent actions such as permit renewals. <br /> t3 <br /> Photo l: Field discussion illustrating the well established vegetation. <br /> Permit Number C1981010 <br /> SL22 Page 2 of 18 <br />
