• are estimated to be required to complete the remaining
reclamation work, the amount of the release must be reduced
accordingly. Therefore, it will be necessary t•o calculate
separately the estimated costs for completing all remaining
reclamation activities for the area subject to the release
request. This should include estimated costs for such tasks as
redistributing topsoil, repairing rills and gullies, initial
seeding and follow-up revegetation work conducted in response
to seeding failures which may reasonably expected to occur.
The amount to be retained by the Division after Phase I bond
release will then be the higher dollar amount between 40~ ~:f
backfilling and grading costs and the estimated costs of
completing the approved reclamation plan.
a. Phase I Bond Release Application
The application should contain the following information:
i. An as-built post-mining topography map showing the
regraded ccntours. The scale must be the same as the
proposed post-mining topography map approved in the
permit application. Some deviations are to be expected;
however, major variations between the two must be
e::plained in bhe bead release application.
ii. Documentation that drainages have been reestablished
including drainage profiles.
iii. Documentation that drainage control has been established
in accordance with the approved plan.
iv. Documentation that permanent i:.mpoundments have achieved
the criteria of Rules 4.05.6 and 4.05.9. This must
include an engineer certification and a discussion of
the future maintenance.
2. Phase II Bond Release
A permittee may request Phase II bond release upon the
successful establishment of revegetation ir. accordance with the
approved reclamation plan, so long as the area is not
contributing suspended solids to streamflow or runoff outside
the permit area in e;:cess of premininq levels. On alluvial
valley floors, the essential hydrologic functions and
agricultural productivity must be restablished. Up to 85k of
base bond amount can be released.
Only those areas where Phase I bond has been released are
eligible for Phase II release. In some cases, a request for
• release of Phase Z and II may be simultaneous. In either case,
the area must be clearly labeled on a map.
The 85% release is a percent of the base amount or up to an
additional 25k from the Phase I release. The costs for
