v - Amount of Financial Guarantee—This office, in concert with the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety (DRMS), has reviewed Standard Minerals' reclamation cost estimate for this project and determined that the amount of$8,503.00 is sufficient to meet all anticipated reclamation requirements including mobilization,backfilling, and seeding costs. The amount of the reclamation cost estimate is based on the operator complying with all applicable operating and reclamation requirements as outlined in the Notice and the regulations at 43 CFR 3809.420. Line items in the approved reclamation cost estimate are not to be considered as the limits of the reclamation expenditures should forfeiture of the financial guarantee be necessary. The line items listed are solely for the purpose of arriving at a total amount for the financial guarantee. This amount may be spent by the CO-DRMS on behalf of the BLM as it deems necessary to implement the approved reclamation plan. The financial guarantee amount does not represent reclamation liability limits or constraints should the actual cost of reclamation exceed this amount.
