Skies were blue with high clouds, and temperatures were in the low 80's(F). <br />Unusually wet conditions prevalent in May and early June, resulted in well vegetated reclaimed areas. No soil was <br />moving off site. Revegetation sampling for Year 9 was conducted in 2015, with Year 10 sampling following in <br />2016. <br />PERMITTING UPDATE: <br />MR -08 Surface Ownership and Right of Entry: On April 9, 2015, Oakridge Energy, Inc. sold its <br />property on Ewing Mesa, including those areas within the Carbon Junction Mine permit <br />boundary. The new surface owners are Marc and Jane Katz. With MR -08, approved on June 16, <br />2015, Section 2.03.6 of the permit was revised, and a Right -of -Entry agreement was incorporated <br />into Appendix 3-2. <br />Outstanding Issues: <br />Permitting <br />Section 2.03.4 text needs to be revised to reflect the change in ownership, as does Map 3-1, Surface and Coal <br />Ownership. Please submit a second minor revision application, addressing these portions of the permit, at <br />your earliest convenience. <br />Inspection <br />Populations of Scotch and Musk thistle are present. Please ensure that these noxious weeds are <br />treated immediately, in accordance with the permit, in order to prevent their developing and <br />spreading viable seeds. <br />SIGNS AND MARKERS Rule 4.02 <br />• Topsoil stockpiles observed were marked with identifying signs. <br />• Mine identification signs at gate were installed as required, with the exception of- <br />Sign <br />£Sign on the gate identifying the Division office needs some maintenance to be legible.
