In June 2014, the WDEQ and the NRC approved modifications to several reclamation bonds to reflect current obligations and anticipated disturbances during the upcoming year. The total reclamation bonding requirements were therefore increased to $26.7 million. The Company increased its surety performance bonding to that amount. The Company will be increasing the cash securing the security bonds (see note 7) by $2.1 million prior to the end of the current year.

 

In June, the Company signed an agreement for drilling and completion of a third disposal well. The project commenced in July 2014 with completion expected later this year. It is anticipated that the total cost of the well will be approximately $3.2 million.
