<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
<br />currently in place of which $4,864,928 are being requested for release.
<br />A reclamation bond in the amount of j11,117,348 is
<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 />1tiGning and Safety (CORMS) rules and regulations.
<br />The Phase I reclamation activities have produced a stable landform in compliance with the approved
<br />cr,nditions 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 backfidling was done with draglines. All areas affected by the
<br />surface mining operations, except as specifically exempted by the CIAMS, were regraded on a timek 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 conduct d
<br />I annually to the spring of each year to identify areas that have
<br />06 experienced severe erosion or other signs of instability during spring runoff from snowmelt and precipitation
