William Beaz, Jr. -2- January 14, 1997 <br />Bowie Resources Limited <br />3. The Division may publish notice and notify you that your required performance bond will <br />be reduced to account for the removal of costs associated with coal stockpile disposal, <br />pursuant to Rule 3.02.2(4). If the reclamation cost estimate for your mine is incorporated <br />into your permit application, a revision to the permit would be required to update the <br />approved cost estimate. If the cost estimate for your mine is sepazate from the permit <br />application, no revision of the permit would be required. <br />While costs for disposal of coal stockpiles will no longer be included in estimates of reclamation <br />cost liability, other costs which the State would be likely to incur during reclamation of coal <br />storage azeas at permit-revoked sites will continue to be included in Division cost estimates. <br />These include costs for clean up and disposal of coally material in the footprint of any coal <br />storage facilities, costs for laboratory analysis of mine waste to verify that the material is suitable <br />for on-site disposal, and costs for proper disposal of any coal materials which are stored for <br />extended periods of time without being sold. <br />Please contact the lead specialist for your mine if you have questions or need additional <br />information. They will be happy to discuss your choice of administrative procedures to adjust <br />the required performance bond for your mine. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~~~~ <br />Susan J.
