Re: Powell Construction Company Pit
Our File No. 77-53
Dear Mr. Powell:
I have reviewed our file for the above-captioned operation after my visit to
the site and my~conversation with you. Although the assignment form for the
52,500.00 certificate of deposit is in the file, the permit itself is still
incomplete. I have enclosed several items to assist you in finishing up the
permitting process: ~1) Two copies of our 110, limited impact mining and
reclamation permit application forms; 2) My inspection report on the op<~ration;
3) A copy of our reclamation bond form for use with a certificate of deposit;
and 4) A copy of Rade Orell's letter of August 29, 1978 to your father de-
tailing the items still needed for completion of the permit application. I
will elaborate on some of these items below. I suygest that you send our
Division a request for a copy of our Rules and Regulations with a check for
52.00 made out to "Mined Land Reclamation". For now, the brief outline of
exhibits on the back of the permit form should help you get started on this
process.
Durinq our future conversations about the permit, you will need to submit an
estimate of your costs for reclamation. These will be reviewed by me, and you
and I will come to an agreement as to what is a fair bond amount. As of July 1,
1981, the legislature raised the maximum amount of bond for a limited impact
permit to 55,000.00. Also, we now use a new bond form with certificates of
deposit and require that the certificate of deposit also be sent, with the form,
to our Division for deposit in the State Treasurer's vault. This leads to
the conclusion that a new bond will probably be set by the Board when the
permit is approved, and thus the existing 52,500.00 bond will be replaced.
Please read my inspection report carefully, since I have noted a few potential
problems with the site that should be accounted for in your further submissions
to the Division. Call me if you need any clarification of any portions of
the report.
