Remaining Reclamation <br />There is no known reclamation remaining at the Carbon Junction Mine, except as noted <br />below with regard to wells. <br />Sediment Ponds 1 and 2 <br />Sediment ponds 1 and 2 werereclaimed (backfilled, regraded, retopsoiled, and <br />revegetated) in December 2008 and April 2009 following a determination that they were <br />no longer required for sediment control at the Carbon Junction mine site(Technical <br />Revision 15). <br />In addition to the above described modifications to the reclamation plan described above, <br />the following modification was made previously to the reclamation plan. This change <br />involved removal of the former explosives area from the mine site. <br />Golf Course Reclamation <br />The northwest corner of the original permit area (approximately 10 acres) fell within the <br />area planned for development of a golf course and ancillary facilities. To facilitate <br />construction of the golf course facility, Oakridge Energy requested that the explosives <br />bench and access road be left in their currentconfiguration. Based on this request, <br />liability release from CDRMSwas sought for this area. CDRMSapproved this release in <br />1997. Subsequent to the liability release, the area was excised from the Carbon Junction <br />Mine permit area (CDRMSTR07). <br />Timetable and Schedule <br />Final reclamationof the Carbon Junction Mine began in the springof 2006and continued <br />through August 2006.Final reclamation of the sediment control system took place <br />. <br />between November and December 2008 and April and May 2009 <br />Reclamation Costs <br />Oakridge Energy represents that there are no known remaining reclamation obligations at <br />the Carbon Junction Mine site under the approved mining and reclamation plan. The <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety is required by statute and regulation to retain <br />a minimum reclamation bond of $10, 000.00. This amount is more than sufficient for any <br />unforeseen reclamation requirementsthat might arise prior to final bond release. <br />Abridged Permit Document 5-12 Permit Renewal RN04 4/2014 <br />
