However, the <br />operator did not request a reduction in the bond document. <br />The Trapper Mine is an active mine with five active pits and two pits that have been approved to receive <br />flyash. TMI is actively mining coal. Reclamation at the Trapper Mine continues as pits continue to <br />progress. On acfive mine areas, backfill and grading, topsoil redistribution, and seeding and <br />transplanting will continue. On bond release blocks CR 82-92, A, C & D Pits RSC 82-92, A & E Pits <br />RS A&B 83-91, and C & D pits RSA & B 84-92 included in this bond release application (SL-04), no <br />additional work needs to be conducted at this time. <br />The Division currently holds a performance bond of $25,900,000.00. Based on the observations above, <br />the Division proposes to release reclamation liability in the amount of $82,659.00 for bond release <br />blocks CR 82-92 and A, C & D Pits RSC 82-92, A & E Pits RS A&B 83-91, and C & D pits RSA & B <br />84-92. TMI did not request that any monies be returned. The remaining $25,900,000,00 is sufficient to <br />assure completion of the remaining reclamation work at the site if the work had to be performed by the <br />Division, including the cost of reestablishing vegetation on any revegetated areas, should those areas <br />fail. The Division estimates its cost to complete remaining reclamation work at the site to be <br />$24,844,491.00 <br />Any person with a valid legal interest which might be adversely affected by this proposed decision may <br />request a formal public hearing before the Mined Land Reclamation Board in accordance with Rule <br />3.03.2(6). Public notice of this proposed decision will be published twice in the Craig Daily Press for <br />two weeks as soon as possible. Requests for public hearing must be submitted to the Division in writing <br />within thirty days of the first publication in the Craig Daily Press. If no hearing is requested within that <br />thirty days, the Division's proposed decision will become final. <br />Trapper Mine, SL-04 Findings So November 18, 2003 <br />
