The Division's reclamation costs have <br /> been updated since that date. A summary of those costs in addition to any revision adjustments <br /> has been completed for this 2022 Midterm Review. As of December 8, 2022, the Division <br /> estimates reclamation liability at the Deserado Mine is $8,919,442.00. This amount is sufficient <br /> to assure completion of the remaining reclamation work at the site if the work had to be <br /> performed by the Division, including the cost of re-establishing vegetation on any revegetated <br /> areas, should those areas fail. The permittee currently has on deposit with the Division one <br /> Corporate Surety totaling $6,600,000.00. Submittal of additional bond monies to the Division to <br /> total the amount of$8,919,442.00 is required. <br /> Based on the updated costs of associated revisions, the direct costs for all reclamation tasks are <br /> $7,181,834.00. This is more than the direct costs of$4,662,252.00, calculated for Permit <br /> Renewal No. 7. Indirect costs consist of the Overhead and Profit costs and the Legal, <br /> Engineering, and Project Management costs. Overhead and Profit costs consist of Liability <br /> Insurance (% of direct cost), Performance Bond (% of direct cost), Job Superintendent(hourly), <br /> and Profit(% of direct cost)which make up the Contract Amount(direct cost+ Overhead and <br /> Profit). The Legal, Engineering, and Project Management Costs consist of Engineering Work(% <br /> of contract amount), and Reclamation Management(% of Contract amount)for a Total Indirect <br /> Cost. Based on the updated costs for all reclamation tasks, the indirect costs for the 2022 <br /> Deserado Mine -5- 12/21/2022 <br />
