To ensure that depletions from ground water evaporation do not occur in the <br /> unforeseen event or events that would lead to the abandonment of the pit, a <br /> bond has been obtained for $140,000 through DRMS for reclamation of the pit. In <br /> addition, the Kattenburg Pit is proposed to be regraded to a final configuration <br /> described in the DRMS permit, with the constructed pond backfilled and <br /> reclaimed, once mining is complete, thus eliminating any long-term injurious <br /> stream depletions related to exposure of groundwater. <br /> 16.
