Weed Control <br />Scattered thistles, hounds tongue and Whitetop were sprayed by Oxbow employees, using <br />Crossbow and Curtail herbicides in accordance with the label. Areas sprayed included general <br />disturbance areas such as road cuts, reclaimed areas, warehouse storage areas, pond outslopes, <br />reclaimed borehole roads and borehole padsites, etc. <br />Rill and Gully Survey <br />The Lower Hubbard Creek site, the Bear Creek site, the reclaimed areas of the II West and West <br />Valley fill coal refuse disposal area and East Yard coal refuse disposal area and the reclaimed <br />degas wells sites, etc. were inspected for the formation of rills and gullies deeper than nine <br />inches.. A number of reclaimed GVB sites and roads were also inspected. No such gullies were <br />encountered requiring follow -up repair and seeding. <br />Reclamation Map <br />Due to the very small acreage of total reclamation, and the scattered nature of such reclamation <br />versus the much larger Permit area, an attempt to present the information on a map would be of <br />limited utility. The Division has, within the PAP, a number of maps showing the location of the <br />particular reclaimed areas. In particular, Map 2.05 -M1, Sheet 6 of 6, General Facilities, <br />Gobvent Boreholes, is provided herein showing updated roads and drill pads. We have also <br />included with this report the following EXHIBIT 1 — SUMMARY OF DISTURBANCE/ <br />SEEDED AREAS summarizing the OMLLC disturbance and reclaimed areas. It is implied that <br />the areas noted as seeded include applicable backfilling, grading, topsoil spreading, and seeding <br />activities. <br />This report is also intended to include Oxbow's response to the Division's January 20, 2015 <br />2011 and 2013 Annual Reclamation Report Review Memo. Oxbow appreciates the Division's <br />input on these reports. Finally, as noted above, this report is intended to address and correct <br />mapping and acreage issues raised and discussed at length during 2014 Field Inspections. <br />Please contact me at 970- 929 -5806 if you have questions or need additional information. <br />Sincerely, <br />James A.
