This consideration was discussed with CDMG representatives Qim Stazk, Sandy Brown, and David Berry) during a conference call on May 15~ and i[ cvas agreed that final Phase III bond release and release of hability for the road would be contingent on inspection of the road and conEumation that the road disturbance has remained erosionally stable. The timeframe for this verification was discussed and it was agreed that a period of two to three years after completion of road reclamation should be adequate to evaluate erosional stabihry. In summary, we regret [hat misunderstanding of prior communications with the CDMG regarding use of this road resulted in issuance of the NOV. We feel, however, that resolution of the associated issues through our subsequent meetings and communications and submittal of this abatement package consistent with the extended abatement deadline should effectively address the associated regulatory issues. Rcdamation (drainage and surface stabilization) of the road consistent with the approved reclamation plans, which was completed immediately following completion of topsoil recovery and transport for redistribution on reclaimed areas, should address associated environmental protection considerations.
