Item 7b of the DMG Reclamation Accounting states <br /> that 23 acres of cut-and-fill slopes are to be revegetated. <br /> How many acres of this item are "pre-law" road slopes and how <br /> many acres of this item are "post-law" road slopes? Where are <br /> the "pre-law" road slopes covered in the Reclamation Bond? If <br /> this work is not covered by the approval Reclamation Bond, <br /> what is the authority for it? Are there other documents <br /> relating to this cost? If so, please attach a copy of such of <br /> such documents of your responses to these interrogatories or <br /> state the circumstances under which these documents may be <br /> inspected and/or copied. <br /> Response: The Division has not found any portion of the <br /> approved permit which differentiates between pre- and post-law <br /> road slopes . <br /> The Reclamation Bond, as defined by the Defendants in the <br /> interrogatories, means the security and/or pledge posted by <br /> Mid-Continent Resources, Inc .
