4/95 DMG approved Phase 1 release (SL-02) of the majority of the backfilling and grading of <br />• the mine site. Excluded from bond release were two small areas that required further <br />slope reduction, and the structures that were requested to remain as permanent. Due to <br />the discrepancy between DMG's 2/95 liability estimate and the bond amount held, no <br />actual bond amount was released. No cost estimate for backfilling and grading had been <br />included in DMG's 2/95 estimate. <br />7/95 EFMC submitted a reclamation cost estimate to the Division showing a total of $26.913 <br />to complete all remaining reclamation of the Raton Creek Mine. <br />9/95 DMG approved bond reduction (TR-19) for previously approved permanent structures. <br />EFMC requested a bond reduction of $17,750 based on cost estimates previously <br />approved in the permit application. The Division approved the $17,750 bond reduction, <br />reducing the bond to $188,081, and the actual liability to $169,717. , <br />1/96 DMG approved Phase I, II, and III bond release (SL-04) for the Santa Fe Nos. 1 and 2 <br />loadouts for the amount of $8,963, reducing the reclamation liability to $160,754. <br />• 2/96 DMG approved a Phase I release (SL-03) of the backfilled and graded slope areas <br />excluded in SL-02, for the amount of $962. The remaining reclamation liability is <br />$159,792. <br />10/97 DMG reviewed remaining reclamation liability costs for the Raton Creek Mine using <br />updated program costs. The review concluded that the remaining liability is <br />appropriated for completion of the reclamation work. The current bond held by the <br />Division is $178,156 in the form of corporate surety. No change in bond is required at <br />this time. <br />4/01 DMG approved EFMC's adequacy responses to the 2000 MidTerm Review submitted <br />as Technical Revision No. 21 (TR-21). As a result of the MidTerm review and <br />approved TR-21, the Division's revised reclamation liability is currently $57,444.00. <br /> <br />669 Revised: 4/ 1?JOl <br />Technical Revision 1Y21 <br />
