(1) Over the past two yeazs, GCC Rio Grande has been negotiating
with the DMG a proposal for posting a reclamation bond for the facility which included an
escrow agreement as authorized by the MLRB Rules and Regulations. DMG had not previously
used an escrow agreement for a reclamation bond, and therefore had to develop and obtain
MLRB approval of a new form. With the assistance of GCC Rio Grande, the DMG developed a
new escrow agreement form and escrow financial warranty form for statewide use in bonding For
reclamation of mining operations. The escrow forms were unanimously approved by the MLRB
on August 20, 2003, and GCC submitted completed escrow forms to the DMG on August 22,
2003. GCC Rio Grande has transferred funds into the escrow account in order to secure the
MLRB reclamation fund.
