The USGS 7.5 Minute Quadrangle Afaps <br />of Hayden Gulch, Hayden, Dunckley, and Mt. Harris, contain the described permit area. <br />SCC is applying for Phase I release on 1,166.2 acres. A reclamation bond in the amount of $11,117,348 is <br />41 currently in place of which $4,864,928 are being requested for release. <br />Pursuant to Rule 3.03.1, a permittee may request Phase I Bond release upon successful completion of <br />backfilling, regrading and drainage control in accordance with the approved reclamation plan. For the <br />purposes of this Phase I Bond Release request, the term "reclaimed" means those disturbed/mined areas <br />where successful completion of backfilling, regrading and drainage control, in accordance with the approved <br />reclamation plan, has been completed. The areas requested for bond release were backfilled and graded from <br />the beginning of mining, in 1990 through 2008 in accordance with the Colorado Division of Reclamation, <br />Mining and Safety (CDRMS) rules and regulations. <br />The Phase I reclamation activities have produced a stable landform in compliance with the approved <br />conditions in the CDRMS Permit No. C-82.057. The majority of the grading work was performed with <br />dozers and scrapers. In some cases the major backfilling was done with draghnes. All areas affected by the <br />surface mining operations, except as specifically exempted by the CDRMS, were regraded on a timely basis to <br />a stable configuration that conforms to the approved post-mine land use (livestock grazing and wildlife <br />habitat). Rill and gully surveys are conducted annually in the spring of each year to identify areas that have <br />experienced severe erosion or other signs of instability during spring runoff from snowmelt and precipitation
