In determining the amount and duration of the surety to be required, the Board of Minerals and Environment shall consider factual information as to the magnitude, type, and costs of reclamation activities planned for the affected land and the nature, extent, and duration of the mining operation. The board shall also consider any surety or cash bond for the proposed mining operation required by an agency of the federal government which surety is required for reclamation purposes. The amount of the surety shall be based on the cost of reclaiming only that portion of the affected lands to be disturbed and the extent of such disturbance at any one time during the various stages of the mining operation.
