11 . RECLAMATION COSTS <br /> Reclamation costs and surety determinations were <br /> calculated for each of the 36 affected areas using 1980 dollars <br /> (Table 11 . 1 ) . The figures represent the cost of reclaiming all <br /> affected lands if Climax were to cease mining during 1980 . Costs <br /> per acre are a function of methods, materials, manpower and <br /> severity of disturbances. For the remaining portion of Phase II <br /> ( until December , 1982 ) surety was estimated to be $22 million <br /> dollars ( $21 , 969 , 000 ) . <br /> A biennial or annual adjustment of the surety figure <br /> will be provided to the state subsequent to an onsite inspection <br /> by a state reclamation specialist. <br /> TABLE 11 . 1 RECLAMATION COSTS OF AFFECTED LANDS ESTIMATED FOR <br /> DECEMBER 31 , 1982 (End of Phase II ) FOR PURPOSES OF <br /> SURETY DETERMINATION <br /> RECLAMATION SURETY <br /> COSTS DETERMINATION <br /> AREA AND WORK DESCRIPTION ( $000 ) ($000 ) <br /> GRAND TOTAL <br /> 21 ,9691 <br /> 1 .
