EFC also ma):es application to the Board for final bond release with respec~ to these seven reclamation tracts and appropriate reduction of the outstanding surety bond. In support of this request EFC notes that all of these areas were seeded between June, 1976 and October, 1977. These seedings have now been effectively established, and are adequately controlling erosion. Further, expressed in terms of the primary guidelines of herbaceous cover and productivity, reclamation has been completed and the recla- mation bond on these tracts should be released. Detailed documentation of these results is provided below. EFC emphasizes that all of these tracts fall with- in the reclamation standards of the Colorado Mined Land Re- clamation Act of 1976 and subsequent regulations issued in May, 1977 pursuant to that Act. Mining was completed and reclamation initiated on all of the tracts requested for final surety release prior to issuance of the Office of Sur- face Mining (OSM) Interim Regulations of December, 1977. _~ _,.. _.,. _._. h ..6i
