the required bond of $1,117,641.00 to $700,270.00. During the approval process for SL-02, the <br />Division "carved out" two rill and gully areas from the Pit 1 area of the bond release approval. <br />These areas (total area of approximately 3.6 acres) are noted on the 1999 Reclamation Map (as <br />well as in the SL-02 Proposed Decision and Findings of Compliance). <br />Bond Release Request SL-03 was proposed for approval February 1, 2002 for Phase I release of <br />liability for the Marr Pit area. No change was affected on the bond liability total. <br />The Division received an application for a Phase I, II, and III Bond Release for the Marr Mine <br />(SL-04) on September 10, 2007. This application was found complete on October 9, 2007, and <br />proposed for approval on November 17, 2008. Areas associated with SL-04 include permanent <br />structures, permanent roads, reclaimed ponds, pits (Pit 1, Marr Pit, and 720 Pit), and the loadout. <br />SL-04 resulted in a liability reduction of $667,649.00, from $687,268.00 to $19,619.00. <br />With the exception of minor rill and gully repair and site maintenance, this is all of the <br />reclamation activity that has taken place at the Marr Mine in the previous permit term. The actual <br />estimate for costs of reclamation remaining is $19,137.00. The Division continues to hold a <br />bond of $19,619.00 to satisfy statutory requirements. <br />15
