runoff from the reclaimed surfaces. The larger amount of groundwater discharge to springs has <br />increased the water availability for wildlife and livestock in the area for a greater portion of the year. <br />4.5. Sediment Loss Evaluation <br />A SEDCAD+ evaluation of sediment production and yield in approved SL-6 Phase II bond release <br />documents (reclaimed parcels A-B-96, A-B-97, A-B-98, D-A-96, D-13-96, D-AB-97, D-AB-98, H-B-96, <br />H-B-98 and H-C-98) demonstrated that current reclamation conditions will result in equivalent or <br />lesser sediment contributions to surface runoff when compared with pre-mining levels. <br />5.0 Proposed Reduction in Bond Obligation <br />Trapper proposes a reduction of $40,050 in the amount of our bond obligation as a result of this <br />phase III bond release request. The requested dollar amount represents the money bonded against <br />reseeding for failure of the reclaimed rangelands proposed herein for final bond release. The bond <br />amount requested for release is detailed in Table 5-1. Trapper does not intend to request a new bond <br />rider to actually release the dollars under consideration but rather would leave the money in the surety <br />bond as a buffer against future bond obligations. <br />10
