DETERMINATION OF AFFECTED ACREAGE AND BOND
The following bond calculation worksheet is to be used to establish an appropriate bond (based upon a range
of $500 to $5, 000 per affected acre) for each permitted mine site based upon the acreage "approved by the
Department to be affected during the life of the mining permit. Please insert the approximate acreage, for
each aspect of the mining operation, that you intend to affect during the life of this mining permit (in
appropriate reclamation cost/acre for each category from the Schedule of
Reclamation Costs provided with this application form) OR you can defer to the Department to calculate your
bond for you based upon your maps and standard reclamation costs:

Asked for more details, plot plan/schematic of water side of process. Need to know what
acerage is involved in impact on settling pond collection. Need to know estimate of water
going back to river, can be based on dredge capacity. This is a sand dredging operation.
Explained that the application form has a typo error in the instructions Item 7 under item
(i) "If any box in Item (e) above ...." It should have read as "If any box in Item (g) above
..." . He had checked the box on Settling pond under Item (g).
Mr. Greene will put together the requested information and submit it to my attention. I
gave him my phone number.
*Talked to Bob about sand dredging permit process. Agreed I needed more information.
The permit "97-10" listed is a mining permit. Current general permit is out for public
comment and should be issued in July. Carl Rose and Sons have 5 existing sand dredging
permits.
