## Description

This MCP server provides specialized tools for quantifying the total financial liability of mine closure. It allows users to calculate direct remediation costs using `calculate_activity_costs`, project long-term environmental expenses with `estimate_monitoring_costs`, aggregate all costs via `calculate_total_liability`, and determine regulatory bonding requirements through `determine_financial_assurance`. It is designed to help mining operators and regulators manage financial assurance and post-closure monitoring obligations accurately.

## Tools

### calculate_activity_costs
Determine the direct cost of specific remediation tasks based on the physical footprint and chosen activities

### calculate_total_liability
Aggregate all closure-related costs into a single total liability figure

### determine_financial_assurance
Calculate the final amount required to satisfy regulatory guarantee/bonding requirements

### estimate_monitoring_costs
Calculate the long-term environmental monitoring expenses following the completion of physical works

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the direct cost for 50 hectares of disturbance with earthmoving at $5000/ha and seeding at $2000/ha.
```

**Response:** 
```
The total direct cost for the specified activities is $350,000.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the total monitoring cost for an annual expense of $10,000 over 10 years with 2% inflation?
```

**Response:** 
```
The total monitoring cost over 10 years with a 2% annual inflation rate is $109,497.21.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the total liability if direct costs are $500,000, monitoring costs are $100,000, and I want a 10% contingency.
```

**Response:** 
```
The total liability, including a $60,000 contingency, is $660,000.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I calculate the cost of specific reclamation tasks?**
You can use the `calculate_activity_costs` tool by providing the total disturbance area, a list of activities, and a JSON mapping of unit rates per hectare.

**Can I account for inflation in monitoring costs?**
Yes, the `estimate_monitoring_costs` tool includes an optional inflation rate parameter to account for annual increases over the monitoring duration.

**How is the final regulatory bond amount determined?**
The `determine_financial_assurance` tool calculates the required amount by applying a regulatory multiplier to the total liability.
