The Division will, in the near future, forward a recalculated reclamation cost estimate
for the current site condition. Nielsons, Inc. will have sixty days from the date of
receipt of that recalculation, to submit adequate financial warranty or lower the
reclamation liability so the current financial warranty is adequate to cover remaining
reclamation.

CORRECTIVE ACTION:
Ensure topsoil is separated from overburden and is stockpiled separately. Submit a
technical revision application addressing changes to the permit maps that illustrate
where topsoil is stockpiled. Receive approval of the revision within applicable
