On March 30,2022,ERMR provided <br /> an adequacy response letter with proposed revised pages. This letter is in reply to ERMR's March30, <br /> 2022 adequacy response letter. <br /> Item No. 6;Owner and Control; Section 2.03.4(3)(b). <br /> ERMR provided additional information regarding Ownership and Control of the operator and <br /> permittee. The Division is evaluating this response and will let you know if additional <br /> information is needed. <br /> Item No. 7; Reclamation Cost Estimate: <br /> ERMR provided additional information regarding Tasks 11, 13,20 and 22. Although liability <br /> release of the reclaimed haul roads and access roads was not specifically discussed in the SL2 <br /> findings document,the Division concurs that SL2 Map 1 included these haul roads and access <br /> roads within the SL2 Phase 1 bond release area. The Division will remove reclamation tasks 11, <br /> 13,20 and 22 from the RN2 Reclamation Cost Estimate (RCE). <br /> The Division is unable to remove the costs for structural demolition from the RN2 RCE. The Division <br /> agrees that the structures located at the former facilities/office area at New Horizon North have been <br /> removed or reclaimed,with the exception of items that have been approved to remain as permanent <br /> features. Credit for reclamation work conducted must go through the bond release process. ERMR did <br /> not request Phase I bond Release on the facilities area in either SL1 or SL2. The facilities area was not <br /> included within SL2 Map 1 for Phase I bond release.
