The division may specify periodic times or set a schedule for reevaluating and adjusting the bond amount to fulfill this requirement.\n\n(b) The division shall:\n\n(1) Notify the permittee, the surety, and any person with a property interest in collateral who has requested notification under 4VAC25-130-800.21(c) of any proposed adjustment to the bond amount; and\n\n(2) Provide the permittee an opportunity for an informal conference on the adjustment.\n\n(c) A permittee may request reduction of the amount of the performance bond upon submission of evidence to the division proving that the permittee's method of operation or other circumstances reduces the estimated cost for the division to reclaim the bonded area. Bond adjustments which involve undisturbed land or revision of the cost estimate of reclamation are not considered bond release subject to procedures of 4VAC25-130-800.40.\n\n(d) In the event that an approved permit is revised in accordance with Subchapter VG, the division shall review the bond for adequacy and, if necessary, shall require adjustment of the bond to conform to the permit as revised.","path":["Title 4.
