The permit for the Rimrock Strip Mine was issued on December 12, 1990. <br />However, the permit was not effective at that time since the bond of <br />553,000.00 had not been supplied to the Division. <br />On July 13, 1992, the reclamation bond was recalculated and was increased to <br />862,000.00. On October 28, 1992, Rimrock Coal Company delivered Letter of <br />Credit No. S 800076, making the permit effective so that coal mining <br />operations could begin. <br />On February 16, 1993, the Division reviewed the Rimrock reclamation bond. <br />Because coal mining stopped short of its intended goal, the current <br />disturbance is less than the bonded disturbance. Therefore, the current bond <br />held by the Division is adequate to perform all of the reclamation work. <br />JJD/bjw/yjb <br />6417E <br />-9- <br />
