M. Savage <br />C- 1992 -080 2011 ARR Review <br />29 -J-an -2014 <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />The 2011 ARR is in compliance with this requirement, stating that no revegetation <br />occurred during the year. <br />including any augmented seeding or cultural practices. <br />The 2011 ARR states that Oakridge Energy contracted for spraying of scattered <br />noxious weeds in 2011. In future ARRs, please provide information regarding the <br />noxious species sprayed, the herbicide used, and identify the locations on a map [per <br />2.04,13(l)]. <br />Discrete areas planted with specific seedmixes should be indicated, and seedtags, <br />invoices or other comparable documentation should be included; and <br />The 2011 ARR is in compliance with this requirement; no revegetation occurred <br />during the year. However, the Division notes that no seedtags or invoices were <br />provided with the ARRs for previous years (2006 and 2009) when permanent <br />revegetation of topsoiled areas was reported. Please ensure that subsequent ARRs <br />include these items when required If the seedtags or invoices for 2006 and 2009 are <br />available, please provide them in the 2013 ARR. <br />(f) Location, number of acres and date of planting for all previously revegetated <br />areas. <br />For this entry, the 2011 ARR states, "Permanent revegetation as described in the <br />mining and reclamation plan has occurred at the Carbon Junction Mine at all <br />disturbed areas of the mine slated for revegetation. " This section of the ARR is <br />incomplete, and does not fulfill the requirements of (f). In future ARRs, please expand <br />this section to provide the details required, and include a map of the reclaimed areas <br />[per 2.04.13(1)]. <br />(2) The permittee may provide additional monitoring information as required by the <br />approved permit. <br />The Carbon Junction Mine permit does not require that additional monitoring information <br />be provided with the Annual Reclamation Report. Therefore, this section is not applicable. <br />This concludes our review of the 2011 Annual Reclamation Report. We are not requesting that a <br />revised report be submitted; rather, that our comments be addressed in all future ARRs, to <br />maintain compliance with Rule 2.04.13. <br />Please contact me with any questions you may have. <br />Best regards, <br />Marcia L.
