11 AAC 97.640 - Reclamation risk assessment fee
(a) The reclamation
risk assessment fee required by
AS
27.19.070(c) applies to a
miner who has had any portion of his or her bonding pool deposit become
nonrefundable, in the same way as it applies to a miner who has forfeited a
reclamation bond or has been held liable in a civil action. The requirement
applies to any future mining operation by that miner, regardless of location,
for the period set out in (d) of this section.
(b) The reclamation risk assessment fee
required by
AS
27.19.070(c) must be
tendered to the department in the form of a performance bond meeting the
requirements of
11 AAC 97.405 or
11 AAC 97.410. The miner may not
participate in the statewide bonding pool to meet this requirement.
(c) The reclamation risk assessment fee is
required in addition to, not instead of, the bonding requirements of this
chapter.
(d) The reclamation risk
assessment fee will be refunded to the miner after two consecutive years of
mining operations in complete compliance with AS 27.19, this chapter, and the
approved mining reclamation plan then in effect for that miner.
(e) If a miner who has posted a reclamation
risk assessment fee is determined to be in violation of AS 27.19, this chapter,
or an approved reclamation plan, the reclamation risk assessment fee will be
forfeited to the statewide bonding pool.
