The <br />following information must be submitted before the Division can approve the <br />permit application: <br />Requirement No. 13 <br />THE APPLICANT MUST SUBMIT AN ESTIMATE OF THE COST OF REMOVING ALL <br />STRUCTURES IN THE PROPOSED PERMIT AREA, INCLUDING PIPELINES AND <br />TRANSMISSION LINES. SALVAGE VALUE CANNOT BE CONSIDERED WHEN COMPUTING <br />THE COSTS. THE ESTIMATED REMOVAL COSTS MUST INCLUDE SUFFICIENT DETAIL <br />FOR THE DIVISION TO VERIFY THE COSTS. UNIT COSTS MUST BE BASED ON A <br />STANDARD REFERENCE. <br />Furthermore, it appears that the applicant used the equipment and operator <br />costs in the example sent with the preliminary adequacy review.

The reclamation cost estimate <br />must be updated with current rates. <br />
