June 2016 all reclaimed production well pads were spot sprayed. Back
pack spraying equipment is now used to access all of the reclaimed pads
and the individual thistle plants are targeted. Large mature thistle are
removed and disposed of as spraying is not effective in control at this
stage.
14. Is adequate topsoil reserved for reclamation, based on your approved YES NO N/A
permit? If"No", please explain:
15. Is the reserved topsoil vegetated/stabilized in accordance with Rule YES NO N/A
3.1.9(1)? If"No", please explain:
16. If mining has exposed groundwater, is the site in compliance with the
approved mining plan and Office of the State Engineer (Well Permit, YES NO N/A
S.W.S.P., and/or Permanent Augmentation Plan)?
17. Are all hazardous materials stored within approved spill containment
structures? No hazardous materials presently stored on site. During YES NO N/A
construction activity diesel and lube oils may be present. They are
temporarily stored within adequate secondary containment.
18. Is your financial warranty value sufficient to cover the cost to complete
reclamation? We hold a bond with BLM for just under$5 million and an
administrative bond with DRMS for just over$236,000. All of the YES NO N/A
production wells are plugged and abandoned so the EPA released their
bond under the UIC program in Dec. 2015.
19. Is your basis for legal right to enter still valid? YES NO
20. Does your permit require you to submit monitoring information
annually? If"Yes", please attach the required monitoring results to this
Annual Report. (Ground water monitoring reports were submitted
quarterly (for 60 quarters) until all production wells were plugged and YES I NO N/A
abandoned in 2015. Nearly all of the ground water monitoring wells are
presently plugged and abandoned as of this report. Reclamation on these
pads and roads will continue into fall 2016.)
21. As required by rule, attach a map to this report that accurately depicts CURRENT MAP
the permit boundary, current affected area boundary and location of the ATTACHED
acreages specified in items 7— 12 and 14.
