PUBLIC NOTICE CAM MINING LLC, P.O. Box 98, Loma, CO 81524, has submitted an applica- tion for a bond release to the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety for its Munger Canyon Mine, mining per- mit No. C- 1981- 020.The mining permit was initially approved on January 13, 1983 and most recently renewed on January 13, 2013. The current posted reclamation bond is $65,966 and is in the form of a corporate surety. This permit action will release approxi- mately $24,000 of the bond liability. The area for which partial bond re- lease is being requested is the Mung- er Canyon portal site, haul road, light use road and reclaimed coal mine waste disposal area. Final bond re- lease is being requested at the Loma Loadout. During 2001 the 2.9 acre Loma load - out was contoured and seeded.There was poor initial vegetative establish- ment. During 2004 the 2.9 acre Loma loadout was re- seeded with a salt tolerant seed mixture. During 2006 a 1.6 acre light use road located in Munger Canyon was contoured and seeded. The mine portal area, haul road and coal mine waste disposal area, encompassing 14.0 acres, were contoured and seeded during 2007 During the ensuing years the vegeta- tion has flourished. Based on a veg- etation evaluation performed during May and June 2013, a demonstration was made that untreated drainage from the reclaimed areas do not con- tribute additional suspended solids above natural conditions. The vegeta- tion study at the mine site concludes the area sampled readily passes the ground cover requirement for Phase it bond release. The vegetation study at the Loma loadout concludes the area exhibits a stable, shrub and forb•dominated vegetation commu- nity that appears more than capable of supporting numerous post- distur- bance land uses.
