K. Request consideration of the Reclamation Surety Bond for Mining Reclamation

Board of County Commissioners Regular Board Meeting · 2026-04-21 · agenda_item

This item concerns a reclamation surety bond for mining reclamation. Highlands County is considering this bond for Hickey Mining, Inc. The bond ensures that mining reclamation activities are properly funded. The County Engineer is involved in this process. This item is currently under review by the Board of County Commissioners. The project involves ensuring financial security for future land reclamation after mining operations. This could involve site preparation and restoration work once mining is complete. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers may find opportunities related to site assessment, environmental consulting, and potential future restoration activities. Engaging early could provide an advantage as plans develop.
