A letter must be submitted to the Land Quality Section by the permittee stating that
reclamation has been completed on a portion of the mine site, that he has no further
intentions to re -affect this portion of the site in the future, and that he wishes to be
released from further reclamation responsibility with respect to the mining permit, the
reclamation bond, and The Mining Act of 1971 on this portion of the site. Two copies of
an updated mine map of the site must be submitted clearly indicating the size and location
of the portion of the mine site to be released.

and conditions of the mining permit. If the reclamation has been properly
completed on the portion of the site in question, a memo will be sent from or
through the Regional Engineer to the Mining Specialist noting the date the site was

B. If the reclamation has not been sufficiently completed on the portion of the site, the
Inspector will give written notice to the permittee to advise him of any deficiencies
noted during the site inspection. The operator will commence action to rectify
these deficiencies and will diligently proceed until they have been corrected. The
Regional Office staff may extend performance periods referred to in G.S. 74-53
(Reclamation Plan) for delays clearly beyond the permittee's control, but only in
cases where the Department finds that the permittee is making every reasonable
effort to comply. Upon completion of the necessary reclamation, the permittee will
contact the Land Quality Section Regional Office staff to determine whether or not
the portion of the site is releasable. If releasable, a memo will be sent from or
through the Regional Engineer as described in 2.A. above.
3. Upon receipt of the above, the Director (or his designee) will notify the permittee in writing
that the permittee is released from further obligations with respect to The Mining Act of
1971 for the portion of the site that has been sufficiently reclaimed. At that time, the
Director (or his designee) will release the appropriate portion of any performance
(reclamation) bond or other security that the permittee has posted under G.S. 74-54.
