SECTION 2.01 GENERAL COAL MINING PERMIT REQUIREMENTS <br />Contained in this package is a revised Permit Document addressing the historical and <br />current state of the mine for Oakridge Energy, Inc. of 4613 Jacksboro Highway, Wichita <br />Falls, Texas 76301. Originally, 59 acres of disturbance resulted from permitted surface <br />coal mining activities at the Carbon Junction Mine. Four Corners Materials (operators of <br />the Ewing #1 Pit) incorporated 13.69 acres of the coal mine disturbance into the <br />aggregate operation (portions of the South Pit and Equipment Area) and assumed <br />reclamation responsibility for those areas under the Colorado Mine Land Reclamation <br />Act. Of the 45.31 acres of disturbance remaining under the coal mining and reclamation <br />permit, all reclamation obligations have been completed and no area remains to be <br />reclaimed. Reclamation of the mine site (with the exception of the sediment control <br />system and topsoil piles 4, 7, and 8) was completed in 2006. After CDRMS approval, the <br />sediment control system was reclaimed in 2008-2009. CDRMS approved the retention of <br />Topsoil Stockpiles 4 and 7 in their current condition (Technical Revision 16) as the <br />topsoil was deemed to be excess for the reclamation of the reclamation at the Carbon <br />Junction Mine. <br />With the partial approval of Surety Release SL -04 by the Colorado Mined Land <br />Reclamation Board in June 2011, all reclamation at the mine was Phase II released. <br />No additional coal mining will be undertaken under this permit. <br />This permit covers the historical permitting and reclamation of the Carbon Junction coal <br />mine and presents the remaining monitoring and final bond release obligations for the <br />mine. <br />2.01.5 Permit Term <br />The requested permit term for the Carbon Junction Mine is five years with all attendant <br />rights of successive renewal. <br />2.01.6 Permit Fees <br />A permit fee of $2,500 was previously submitted to the Division. <br />Abridged Permit Document 1-1 Permit Revision PR01 9/2014 <br />
