The April 30, 2010 letter from DRMS <br /> requires that you provide information to DRMS to demonstrate you can replace long term <br /> injurious stream depletions that result from mining related exposure of groundwater. The <br /> DRMS letter identified four approaches to satisfy this requirement. <br /> In accordance with approach nos. 1 and 3, you have indicated that a bond has been obtained <br /> for the new Morton-Holton Lakes site that can cover the cost of lining, to prevent the <br /> exposure of groundwater. The current bond amount for the new Morton-Holton Lakes site is <br /> $4050,000.00. <br />
