Hard-rock mining reclamation special revenue account

(b) interest income earned on the account; and

(2) Funds may be appropriated from the hard-rock mining reclamation special revenue account for the following purposes only:

(a) state costs of implementing legally required reclamation, operation, and maintenance at hard-rock mines that would otherwise not occur because there is no likelihood of getting additional funds from the mine operator and the available surety bond is insufficient;

(b) state costs of implementing legally required reclamation, operation, and maintenance neither eligible for nor reasonably expected to be reimbursed from other federal or private funds; and
