V. PROPOSED DECISiOiY Based on the findings set forth above, the Division proposes to approve Trapper Iv(ining [nc.'s request for a Partial Phase [I bond release for the Trapper Mine. This proposed decision will release the applicant from liability for topsoil redistribution and establishment of vegetation for those areas shown on revised ivlap 2.0 of the bond release submittal. The Division holds a performance bond of $18,500,00.00 for the Trapper Nline. The approval of the Partial Phase II bond release is only a release from the liability of topsoiling and reestablishing vegetative cover that meets or exceeds the approved reclamation plan for the band release acreages. No bond money will be released so there will be no reduction in the bond amount. The current bond amount will remain intact and is sufficient to assure completion of the remaining reclamation work at the site if the work had to be performed by the Division, including the cost of reestablishing vegetation on any revegetated azeas, should those azeas fail. The Division estimates its cost to complete remaining reclamation work at the site to be $18,279,608.00, as calculated in Trapper's most recent permit renewal, RN-03, which became final June 12, 1998 . Any person with a valid legal interest which might be adversely affected by this proposed decision may request a formal public hearing before the Mined Land Reclamation Board in accordance with Section 3.03.2(6). Public notice of this proposed decision will be published twice in the Craig Daily Press for two weeks as soon as possible. Requests for public hearing must be submitted to the Division in writing within thirty days of the first publication in the Craig Daily Press. If no hearing is requested within that thirty days, the Division's decision will become final. c:\wp61 \trappe r\bo ndfi nd Trapper Mine Page 11 12!14/98 Phase II Bond Release
