11 <br />If the rehabilitation reveals insurmountable mining issues there is the potential that <br />the mine would not be re -opened. If this occurs, the equipment necessary to convey <br />the waste to the RDA would be obtained through a short-term lease agreement and all <br />stockpiled material would be conveyed to permanent storage in the RDA. <br />Reclamation bonding as described in RN -05 dated 01-26-2009 is in place to haul raw <br />coal and clean coal stockpiled on site to the development waste pile. Without the <br />startup of mining, the stockpiles will have minimal material to be relocated. The <br />stockpiles are currently empty with the exception of 1,180 ccy (1,400 Icy) of pond <br />cleanings. Temporary storage of 10,000 ccy of development waste in addition to the <br />pond cleanings would require relocation of 11, 180 ccy (13,250 ley) of material. The <br />bonding in place is adequate to cover the cost of relocating all of this waste to the <br />RDA using a temporary conveyor or haulage to a DWDA south of Highway 12 <br />should one be approved. <br />Table 18a lists the volumes and costs associated with the stockpiles covered in the <br />bond calculations compared to the estimated cost to relocate the pond cleanings and <br />temporary development waste using the same rates per cubic yard. The current bond <br />amount of $33,410 to relocate the material is sufficient to cover the estimated <br />expense of $15,440 to relocate the temporary waste. <br />Table 18a Reclamation Bond Comparison with Temporary Stockpile Relocation Cost <br />Stockpile Compacted <br />Loose <br />haulage . <br />Volume(CCY) <br />voiume(LCY) <br />'Cost, <br />Estima <br />Southeast <br />7,200 <br />8,532 <br />$8,071 <br />Coal <br />Northeast <br />4,750 <br />8,532 <br />$8,071 <br />Coal <br />Raw Coal <br />5,900 <br />6,992 <br />$7,946 <br />Clean <br />7,600 <br />9,006 <br />$12671 <br />Coal <br />Column <br />25,450 <br />30,159 <br />$33,410 <br />Totals <br />Temporary <br />Waste <br />Raw Coal <br />10,000 <br />11,850 <br />$13,470 <br />Clean <br />1,180 <br />1,400 <br />$1,970 <br />Coal <br />Estimated <br />11,180 <br />13,250 <br />$15,440 <br />Other coal processing support facilities are required and have been constructed at the <br />site.
