Long <br /> Division Director <br />RE: Bond Required for Permit Issuance, Rock School Lease <br />e <br />Exp <br />rimental Nahcolite Mine Project, File No. M-1999-051 <br />Dear Mr. Day: <br />In accordance with a request from Mc lack Clark, consultant to AmerAlia, Inc., the Division of Minerals and Geology <br />(DMG) has completed the attached reclamation cost estimate for the disturbances related to the installation of <br />AmerAlia's monitoring wells. Based on the cost estimate, the total bond amount that would be required for the Rock <br />School Lease reclamation permit to be issued is $42,863.00. If a permit were to be issued with a bond in [his amount, <br />AmerAlia must understand that no further disturbance beyond the existing well pads I and 2, the well pad access road, <br />and the existing monitoring wells would be allowed unless appropriate additional bond is posted. <br />If the Bureau of Land Management will be holding a portion of [he reclamation bond amount, the DMG will not <br />require double bonding as long as the provisions of Hazd Rock/Metal Mining Rule 4.2.1(8) are fulfilled. The <br />minimum amount of bond that must be held by DMG for reclamation of the existing disturbances is $1,962.00, which <br />is the five percent administrative cos[ component required under section 34-32-117(4)(B)(I), C.R.S. <br />Please be advised that under Rule 4.1(2) if the permit is no[ issued by January 13, 2001 [he Mined Land Reclamation <br />Board will convene a hearing [o reconsider the approval of the Rock School Lease reclamation permit application. <br />Also, please be advised that the copy of the performance warranty you recently provided is not acceptable for permit <br />issuance. DMG must have an original signed and sealed performance warranty. If AmerAlia would like DMG to <br />consider permit issuance, please select a type of financial warranty from Rule 4.3 and contact us so we may provide <br />the appropriate warranty form. <br />If you have any questions, please contact me. , <br />Sincerer; <br />~~ ~ <br />Allen C.
