RE: Don Kehn Construction, Inc.; Permit No. M-1989-056' i
Timnath Pit; Financial Warranty Increase (SI-O1) ~/
Dear Mr. Kehn,
On February 28, 2008, the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety co ucted an inspection of the
Timnath Pit, Permit No. M-1989-056 to determine if the financial warranty held by the Division is
adequate.
According to Rule 4.2.1(1) and (2), the Division may review a financial wa ~ anty at any time to determine
if the amount is sufficient to perform reclamation. The Division recalculate the bond to factor in current
equipment and labor rates and reclaim the site to achieve the approved pos fining land use. The result of
the recalculation indicates that the site is currently under bonded. This lette~' ;!s to inform you that your
financial warranty will need to be revised from its current amount of $192,2L2.50 to $207,700.00 within
60 days of receipt of this letter. A copy of calculations used to determine this cost is attached for your
review. i
The operator has three options regarding the amount of required bond;
1. submit additional financial warranty in the amount of $15,477.50,
2. perform some reclamation on the site to reduce the reclamation liability,
3. revise the reclamation plan.
One of the three options, or a combination thereof, must be completed by Jul a 1, 2008. Failure to do so
maybe considered a violation of the Construction Material Rules and Regulations. If you have any
questions about this process or how the bond was calculated, please contact i)ne at [phone].
