RECLAMATION COSTS <br />• <br />Many affected areas are being revegetated, but are not <br />considered totally reclaimed. Costs and concomitant surety <br />for these portions are limited. Because of the continuously <br />changing acreage of affected land, the Board stipulated that <br />surety be updated every two years in conjunction with sub- <br />mittal of the annual report and map. The existing bond, <br />covering the 1980-1981 period, is for $2.596 million (per <br />1979 Annual Report submitted in March, 1980). The new bond <br />amount for the project, including affected lands described in <br />this amendment and covering the 1981-1982 period, is $3.452 <br />million. <br />SPECIFIC RECLAMATION COSTS BY SITE ($ THOUSANDS) <br />• The following are estimated costs of totally reclaiming <br />each specific site from its present stage of reclamation. <br />Costs are 1981 dollars.
