Page 7 of II <br />Mr. Jared Ebert <br />January 20, 2010 <br />warranty. The Applicant must choose one of the following options to be included in <br />the financial warranty calculation: <br />1) Backfill all of the pits to two feet above the groundwater level. <br />2) Install a slurry wall or clay liner. <br />3) Provide the Division with documentation from SEO, which demonstrates that <br />the Application owns a sufficient amount of shares of water to cover the <br />evaporative losses from the exposed groundwater and the said shares have <br />been committed to the SEO should the financial warranty forfeited and the <br />permit revoked. <br />4) Obtain a court approved augmentation plan for the exposed groundwater. <br />If the applicant obtains an approved augmentation plan prior to final release, then the <br />financial warranty will be adjusted accordingly. <br />At this time, Lafarge agrees to obtain a bond in an amount sufficient to cover the cost <br />of lining any pit with exposed groundwater. Lafarge proposes an annual evaluation <br />be completed prior to the bond renewal date to adjust the bond amount for changes in <br />exposed groundwater due to mining activities from the previous year and a forecast <br />for the upcoming year. <br />Information regarding bonding calculations will be provided with our annual report. <br />However, as no groundwater is exposed at this time, bonding for exposed <br />groundwater is not necessary. A bond will be obtained prior to exposing <br />groundwater. Lafarge reserves the right to alter this agreement in the future should <br />the SEO or DRMS change policy or procedure regarding exposed groundwater <br />bonding. <br />6.4.19 EXHIBITS S - Permanent Man-Made Structures <br />25.
