It is anticipated that acceptance and implementation of these <br />recommendations and concepts will not impede otherwise normal release of <br />performance surety or expand liability for unintended consequences of additional <br />reclamation. If approved and supported by adequate funding, the general <br />recommendations and concepts will be developed into detailed engineering and <br />-2- <br />
