A reclamation bond in the amount of $11,117,348 is <br />currently in place of which $4,864,928 are being requested for release. <br />Pursuant to Rule 3.03.1, a per ittee 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 ((.DRMS) rules and regulations. <br />The Phase I reclamation activities have produced a stable landform in compliance with the approved <br />conditions in the CDRNIS 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 toy the approved post-mine land use (livestock grazing and wildlife <br />habitat). Rill and gully sun,eys 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
