This was a Phase I bond release, and <br /> the amount released was$117,920. <br /> • The decision issuance date for SL-02 was in November 1993. This was a Phase I,II,and III bond <br /> release,and the amount released was$45,000. <br /> • The decision issuance date for SL-03 was also in November 1993. This was a Phase III bond <br /> release,and the amount released was$78,267. <br /> • The decision issuance date for SL-04 was in November 2001. This was a Phase I and II bond <br /> release, and the amount released was$158,430. <br /> • The decision issuance date for SL-05 was in March 2003. This was a Phase III bond release, and <br /> the amount released was$53,497. <br /> The most recent bond release was SL-06,and the decision issuance date was January 25,2010. This action <br /> was a Phase I, II, and III bond release. After SL-06,the Division retained jurisdiction over 4.1 acres of <br /> area known as the Developed Water Resources Area;the ditches and ponds in this area have been approved <br /> as permanent. <br /> With TR-28,0.7 acres were added to the approved disturbed area(for a total of 4.8 disturbed acres)because <br /> the Refuse Pond and the ditch from Pond P-9 to the Refuse Pond were added back into the permit. The <br /> Refuse Pond and inlet ditch are an integral part of the surface water management system at the site. <br /> After SL-06,the Division also retained jurisdiction over 407 acres overlying underground workings; no <br /> reclamation tasks are associated with this area.
