C2010089 RN2 Adequacy No. 2 <br /> Page 2 of 2 <br /> March 29,2022 <br /> to apply for phase I bond release for this area for the Division to be able to release the liability for the <br /> structures and reclamation of the facilities area. Reclamation liability costs for demolition of structures <br /> and reclamation of the facilities were retained in the reclamation cost estimate after approval of SL2. <br /> SL3 is currently under review by the Division,but these items were not included within the SL3 bond <br /> release request application. ERMR updated the facilities map;Map 2.05.3(3)-1 with MR28, showing the <br /> approved permanent structures remaining at the facilities area. No liability costs were released with the <br /> approval of MR28. Task 95 for demolition and removal of all structures remains in the RN2 reclamation <br /> cost estimate. Structures that have been approved to remain as permanent have been removed from the <br /> demolition task. <br /> The Division has had other operator request credit for removal of structures,prior to completion of back <br /> fill and grading operations on the structure footprint areas at other mine sites. The Division has been <br /> unable to allow for credit of structural removal without an operator applying for Phase I bond release after <br /> having completed the required backfill and grading operations. I am including additional letters regarding <br /> these decisions as attachments to this letter. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Janet H.
