Minerals Company, LLC <br /> Annual Reclamation Report <br /> Permit No. C-1984-065 <br /> Dear Mr. Wein: <br /> Enclosed is C. B. Minerals Company's 2015 Annual Reclamation Report for its Coal Ridge No. 1 <br /> Mine as required by Rule 2.04.13. <br /> During the year, the sediment pond was reclaimed. Construction activities began in October and <br /> were complete by the end of November. Sediment pond reclamation included backfilling and <br /> grading, topsoiling and seeding (1.9 acres), and grading, topsoiling and seeding two stockpile areas <br /> (2.5 acres), for a total acreage of 4.4 acres. All of these areas are permanent seeding areas and <br /> are shown on the attached reclamation map. <br /> A portion of the road (0.38 acres) on the lower terrace and two drainage ditches (0.66) were re- <br /> disturbed during reclamation and are shown on the attached map. Both areas were graded and <br /> seeded at the completion of reclamation. <br /> An area to the east of the borrow area was re-disturbed (0.65 acres)during its usage as a temporary <br /> topsoil stockpile. This area was re-seeded after the reclamation was complete. <br /> A survey will be done this year to document reclamation activities. If necessary, acreages will be <br /> revised on the 2016 ARR to reflect actual reclaimed areas. <br /> Two different seed types were utilized during reclamation a cropland seed mix and a pasture/wildlife <br /> mix. The seed tags are attached. <br /> Please call if you have any questions. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Tamme Bishop, P.E. <br /> Consulting Engineer <br />
