requests will be submitted to CDMG for insertion into Appendix 13-11a, landowner Requests for <br />Permanent Features. <br />Bonding <br />Introdudion. The purpose of this sedion is to provide a reclamation cost estimate, with supporting <br />documentation, for determination of a redamafion performance bond for lands disturbed at the Seneca II <br />Mine. This section provides information regarding all disturbed lands within the proposed permit boundary. <br />The amount of bond required was developed assuming that the bond would be forfeited at a time when <br />redamation liabilities are highest during the reclamation phase of the mine. CDMG developed a revised <br />reclamation cost estimate, as of December 2005, that indicates a reclamation liability of 570,466,082. <br />CDMG cumeMly holds a reclamation land, calculated for the woretcase condition in the mirdng <br />sequence, in the amount of 511,284,390. The estimate now includes costs for topsoil replacement <br />and revegetation over all disturbed areas, rather than just the five-year permit term in the previous <br />estimate. The estimate was strucWred to facilitate the determination of bond release monies <br />associated with a Phase I Bond Release Application. <br />Reclamation Costs <br />• <br />Attachment 13-7, Bond Calculation Worksheets, contains the detailed cost estimation forms <br />documenting the curtent reclamation cost estimate. <br />Literature Cited and References <br />Agnew, W. 1991.
