Edna Mine: oe. 2 <br />No written objections or requests for an informal conference regarding the bond release <br />application have been received by DMG. The Department of Energy provided written comments <br />to DMG conceming power transmission lines within the release azea and indicated they had no <br />objection to the proposed release. <br />DFD understands the release application applies to 591 reclaimed acres in the West Ridge <br />mining area and I6.5 reclaimed acres in the Center Ridge mining area. DMG holds performance <br />bonds via letter of credit no. SDC-780-320450 ($7,121,196.00) from Di-Ichi Kangyo Bank, and <br />United Pacific Insurance Company surety bond no. U80 61 57-28 ($50,520.00). DMG proposes <br />to release $821,613.00 of the performance bonds leaving $6,350,103.00 to assure completion of <br />the remaining reclamation work at the site if the work had to be performed by DMG. Final <br />reclamation liability is not released on the acreage noted in this Phase I application, and will not <br />be released until a Phase III bond release application is submitted and approved for this acreage. <br />DFD extends our thanks to your staff for coordinating this bond release through our office. <br />Please address any questions concerning this action to Henry Austin at (303) 844-1466 or E-mail <br />to haustin@osmre.gov. <br />Sincerely, ~ <br />G" r' L f- <br />James F.
