Like reclamation bonds required by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) you must provide a Washington reclamation bond<\/a><\/strong> to the Department of Natural Resources in that state if you intend to engage in any type of mining or petroleum exploration activity. \u00a0The State of Washington defines\u00a0“reclamation” as the rehabilitation of disturbed areas resulting from surface or underground mining. The basic objective of reclamation at mines is to reestablish the vegetative cover, soil stability, and water conditions at the site. As a second beneficial use, mines are reclaimed for fish and wildlife, grazing, forestry, wetlands, and commercial and industrial uses. The Washington mining reclamation blanket bond<\/strong>\u00a0is required under\u00a0The Surface Mining Act for each operation that: (1) results in more than 3 acres of mine-related disturbance, or (2) has a high-wall that is both higher than 30 feet and steeper than 45 degrees (chapter 78.44 Revised Code of Washington [RCW]<\/a>,\u00a0chapter 332-18 Washington Administrative Code [WAC]<\/a>).\u00a0The original Surface Mining Act was amended in 1993 to assure that every mine in the state is thoroughly reclaimed. The Department of Natural Resources<\/a> is responsible for ensuring that reclamation follows completion of surface and underground mining. The DNR has exclusive authority to regulate mine reclamation, approve Washington reclamation bonds<\/a><\/strong>, and approve reclamation plans. \u00a0Reclamation bonds in general are long term, non-cancelable surety bond obligations. \u00a0The Washington reclamation bond is no exception to the long term risk and subjective opinion of the regulator as to what is proper “reclamation”, however the Washington reclamation bond\u00a0<\/strong>form DOES include a rare cancellation provision. \u00a0\u00a0The reclmation bond obligation guarantees performance of the requirements of the underlying operations permit and Chapter 78.44 of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW), relating to mining and the reclamation of land. \u00a0“Proper” reclamation includes such things as topsoil preservation, slope restoration, resetting the topography to match surrounding land, and effective revegetation. \u00a0Washington surety leader<\/strong>,\u00a0Surety One, Inc.<\/a>\u00a0is the ‘No. 1’ bonding resource for any operation requiring reclamation bonding.
