The additional bond coverage was stipulated to be submitted to the Division "no later than 60 days prior to initiating of any disturbance associated with the permit revision approval." As of the date of permit renewal, construction of the Central Facilities Areas has not yet begun. Therefore, Stipulation No. 17 will remain attached to the permit for the second permit term with the actual bond amount adjusted to reflect current reclamation costs as indicated below. During the permit renewal review process, the bond amounts for both the original permit and the Central Facilities Area permit revision were reviewed by the Division to determine whether the previously calculated amounts needed to be updated. As a result of the review, the Division found that the bond amount for the original permit needed to be increased from $307,630.00 to $322,700.00, and the bond amount for the Central Facilities Area permit revision needed to be increased from $691,304.00 to $1,046,000.00. Pursuant to Rules 2.07.6(2)(j) and 3.02.1(1), performance bonds in this amount will be filed with Y.he Division, payable to the State of Colorado and the United States Government/Office of Surface Mining.

THE REPLACEMENT BOND OR BOND RIDER MUST BE MADE PAYABLE TO THE STATE OF COLORADO AND THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT/OFFICE OF SURFACE IAINING.
