Subject:
Nevada BLM 3809 Reclamation Bonding Guidance Update
This Instruction Memorandum updates Nevada’s 3809
Reclamation Bonding Guidelines and replaces IM No.
NV-2002-066.
The attached guidelines establish current policy on
reclamation bonding for both notices and plans of operations. The guidelines list the acceptable bond
instruments and provide copies of the appropriate bond and rider forms to be
used in the bonding process. For
all bond determinations, the required bond amount will continue to be a
whole-dollar amount. For plans of
operations, the bond determination will continue to be rounded up to the nearest
$100.00.
The primary changes in the guidelines reflect changes in
procedures used to complete reclamation cost estimates and the criteria,
clarification for periodic bond updates and reductions, reducing bonds covered
by corporate guarantees, use of long-term trust funds and agreements, and new
bond forms.
Questions concerning this instruction memorandum should
be directed to Reg Reid (775) 861-6567 or
Cindi Dragon (775) 861-6458 in the Nevada State Office,
Division of Minerals Management.
