The nclarrrstion cost for the Rex Quarry will be based upon rxlamatlon of 84.6 affected <br />acne to wlldi'Ifi- habitat. ao you roporlad. <br />As we reported on Juy 29, 1998, we estimated that we have amently affected 84.5 saes end <br />that the cost to redaim current disturbance along with demdition of existing buildings would be <br />5377,7330.23. We posted an interim bond in December, 1997 per your request fw a total of <br />5654,000. We estimated the cost of that interim bond eaeuming the total aifacted area of <br />1 114.8 aces would be disturbed We believe our current bond of 5654,01]0 is adequate iw the <br />trial aniktipated 114.8 aces of disturbance in our mine plan. The burden is on Cobrado Lien <br />' Company to request partial warranty release as the r~adaimed lend is deemed adequatey <br />restored by your Division. We do not wish to be Gm'Ited to a maximum d'ISiurbance of 84.5 <br />~/ acres ea you hate suggested.
