Dear Mr. Ohlheiser:
On January 29, 2010, the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety approved your 112c mining permit
application with one stipulation:
Stipulation: °
Prior to affecting any land within the permit area, the Operator shall submit and receive approval from the
Division of a financial warranty that will cover the cost to reclaim one year's worth of disturbance. The
Operator will not be allowed to expose ground water until enough financial warranty has been submitted
and approved by the Division to account for the exposure of ground water for a year's worth of mining.
Every year for the life of the permit, within the annual report the operator must submit information
necessary to determine the financial warranty. This information shall include but will not be limited to:
1.) The Operator's estimate of the financial warranty.
2.) Amount of current affected land.
3.) An estimate of the amount of land to be affected in the next year.
4.) Dimensions of pit excavation(s) currently and projected for the next year (to be lined if below
ground water level):
a. Acreage
b. Depth
c. Length of highwall
d. Slope ratio of all pit slopes
5.) Acres of land to be topsoiled currently and projected.
6.) Updated map depicting the mining disturbance, plant site, pit excavation, and the location and
amount (volume in cubic yards) of topsoil and overburden piles stockpiled on the site.
7.) Any other information the Division may request to determine the financial warranty.
Upon receiving the information, the Division will verify the Operators a financial warranty calculation and
initiate a Surety Increase revision if necessary and the Operator will have 60 days to post the additional
