be amended from time to time to reflect revised estimates of said costs of
reclamation.
WHEREAS, the Operator hereby gives the Board a performance warranty
pursuant to Section 34-32-117(2) of the Act, and herein promises the Board
that it will comply with all applicable requirements of the Act with regard to
