It was explained that the proposed financial warranty does not <br />affect the approval of the permit, merely its issuance. The application <br />may be approved, but the Operator does not have a permit until adequate <br />financial surety is posted, and can not mine until this has been done. <br />DMG calculates the financial warranty independent of the Applicant's <br />estimates, and after the Division has set the amount, the Operator has <br />up to one year to post the bond before the application approval <br />expires. If, at that time, the Operator has not posted the bond, then <br />he must re-apply for the permit and go through the application process <br />from the beginning at that time. <br />8.
