Dear Mr. Tripp:
The review has been completed on the modification request you submitted for the
referenced mine site. In order for this office to complete its review of the referenced project in
accordance with GS 74-50 and 51 of the Mining Act of 1971, please provide the following:
The reclamation bond was calculated for this site using the information with the
application request. The reclamation bond for this site has been calculated to be $35,700.00.
The calculation worksheet is enclosed for your review and the bond or balance ($9,300.00) will
be required prior to approval of this modification.
For your convenience, I have enclosed a bond form, an assignment of a savings
account form and irrevocable standby letter of credit form for your use in securing the required
bond. The name on the security must be the same as the name appearing on the application
for a mining permit, i.e., Ottway Sand Mine Inc. In addition to one of these alternatives, you
may, upon request, substitute a cash deposit.
Please be advised that the modification request cannot be completed until the new bond
amount has been received.
As required by G.S. 74-51 (h), you are hereby advised that you have 60 days from the
date of your receipt of this letter to submit the reclamation bond. If you are unable to meet this
deadline and wish to request additional time, you must submit information, in writing, to the
Director clearly indicating why the deadline cannot be met and request that an extension of
time be granted.
