A dra$ reclamation cost estimate based on re-evaluation of <br />the worst case reclamation cost was forwarded to the operator as an enclosure to the Division's PR- <br />04 preliminary adequacy review letter of November 13, 2001. The Division's preliminary estimate <br />of the worst case reclamation cost was $7,038,297.00. Factors associated with the increase <br />included increased equipment and demolifion costs, and cost associated with spreading and <br />compaction of a specified quantity of temporary refuse stockpile material. This cost estimate may <br />be amended based on documentation provided by the operator during the review of PR-04. The <br />cost estimate review will be completed, and the required bond amount fixed, upon fmal approval of <br />PR-04. <br />des/2002 midterm <br />Deserado Mine Apri130, 2002 <br />18 <br />
