Savage & Savage C -1992 -080 / RN -4 / AR No. 3 25- Apr -2014 Page 5 of 6 Please revise the second paragraph of ADP subsection 2.05.4(2) to direct the reader to the location of this map, and submit an application for a revision to the permit to remove the other two maps that reflected PMT: the TR -11 and TR -13 Post - Mining Topography Maps. (In order to streamline the TR -17 process, new Appendix 5 -12 was created for insertion, but no other changes were made to the approved permit.) DRMS 04/25: The obsolete maps will be removed with the upcoming Permit Revision. However, the text should be modified now, as requested, to reflect the location of the new map. 5. DBMS 12/18: The APD addresses Reconstruction of Carbon Junction Canyon beginning on Page 5 -10 of the Aug -2013 version. Please expand this section to reflect the work that was accomplished in the Upper Carbon Junction area in Nov -2013, as approved under TR -17, and direct the reader to Appendix 5 -12 for details. DBMS 04/25: In the Mar 2014 response, Oakridge proposes to include the requested language in the upcoming permit revision. This is acceptable to the Division; this item is resolved for purposes of RRN 4. 2.05.5 — Post - Mining Land Uses DRMS 04/19: An alternate post - mining land use of industrial /commercial and residential was approved for the Carbon Junction Mine in 1996 under TR -05. In July 2012, during a site visit attended by representatives of Oakridge and this agency, the Division suggested Oakridge might consider changing the land use to rangeland or wildlife habitat. This would require the establishment of a reclamation success standard, but given that reclamation occurred in 2006, the mine might be eligible for bond release as early as 2016. DBMS 12/18: The cover letter to the August 2013 adequacy response indicates that Oakridge is currently evaluating the Division's suggestion. DBMS 44125: The Mar -2013 cover letter and discussions between Oakridge and the Division indicate that the applicant does plan to move forward with a permit revision to revise the Post - Mining Land Use. This item is resolved for purposes of RN-4. 2. DRMS 12118: The discussion of post - mining land uses provided in subsection 2.05.5 of the APD is incomplete. Division records indicate that for the original Carbon Junction Mine permit (C- 1982 -054), the pre - mining land uses were Rangeland/'Wildlife Habitat and Cropland ( dryland wheat). Approved post - mining land uses were the same; no alternate uses were proposed. When the current permit was issued in 1993, the post - mining land uses were to be rangeland, wildlife habitat, and dryland farming. Please revise the discussion in 2.05.5 of the ADP to provide a complete history of land uses, in addition to the change in land use that was approved under TR -05 in 1996. DRMS 04/19: Recognizing that an upcoming permit revision is expected, no revision to the APD text will be required at this time. This item is resolved for purposes of RN-4.
