All other conditions and requirements of Permit No. M-2004-084 remain in full force and effect. <br />Staff calculations estimate the total cost to reclaim the site to be $83,726.00, rounded off to $83,730.00. This is a <br />total increase of $17,930.00 over the currently held bond amount of $65,800.00. The estimate is based on the <br />increased reclamation liability associated with Technical Revision No. 01 and the conditions observed during the <br />May 13, 2009 inspection. Benson Brothers must submit and have accepted the Financial Warranty for the <br />technical revision to the permit to become active. Please review the estimate carefully,.
