3.01 PERFORMANCE BOND REQUIREMENTS
This rule sets forth minimum requuements and responsibilities for 51ing and maintaining
performance bonds for surface coal mining and reclamation operations and coal exploration
in accordance with the Act. The rule also includes minimum requirements of determining
the amounts and periods of liability for performance bonds; it establishes minimum
standards for the form, conditions and terms of performance bonds, as well as the schedule
and procedures for release bonds and the applicable provisions for forfeiture of all or any
part of a performance bond.
Since all ]ands related to mining disturbance were reclaimed in 1991, the only lands left to
be reclaimed are related to sediment control structures. These include the five sediment
ponds, sediment ditches, and topsor7 stockpile A which will be uti]ized for this reclamation.
Calculation of reclamation cost for these areas is contained on the following calculation
forms.
The basis for the reclamation cost estimate is the amount of material to be moved during
grading and topsoiling activities. The following yardages apply to the cost estimate.
Pond 002 Subsoil 0.6 acres 2,275 yards'
Pond 003 Subsoil 0.3 acres 1,200 yards'
Pond 004 Subsoil 0.7 acres 5,375 yards'
Pond 005 Subsoil 0.4 acres 2,090 yards'
Sediment Trap 0.6 acres 4,500 yards'
Diversion Ditches 6.8 acres 10,900 yards'
Topsoil 0.3 acres 10,000 yards'
Total 9.7 acres 3640 yards'
These yardages are based on pond and ditch design information contained in Section 2.05
of the permit.
The original bond amount for the property was $800,000. Following the 1991 reclamation
activities, the CMLRD approved a $480,000 Phase I reduction for the property, leaving a
bond amount of $320,000. As currently calculated, reclamation liability is $69,348.
