PUBLIC NOTICE ' OF PUBLICATION
<br />CAM MINING LLC, 2352 N 7th Street,
<br />Unit B, Grand Junction, CO 81501,
<br />has submitted an application for a
<br />bond release to the Division of Re-
<br />clamation, Mining and Safety for its
<br />Mungger Canyon Mine, mining permit
<br />N0. C-1981-020. The mining permit ,
<br />was initially approved on January
<br />13, 1983 and most recently renewed
<br />on January 13, 2013. The current
<br />posted reclamation bond is S49,121.
<br />12 and is in the form of a corporate
<br />surety. This permit action will re-
<br />lease all of the bond liability. The
<br />area for which bond release is being
<br />requested is the Munger Canyon
<br />portal site, haul road, light use road
<br />and reclaimed coal mine waste dis-
<br />posal area containing approximately
<br />21.2 acres.
<br />During 2006 light use road located
<br />in Munger Canyon was contoured
<br />and seeded. The mine portal area,
<br />haul road and coal mine waste dis-
<br />posal area were contoured and see-
<br />ded during 2007. During the ensuing
<br />years, the vegetation has flourished.
<br />Based on a vegetation evaluation
<br />performed during May and June
<br />2013, a demonstration was made
<br />that untreated drainage from the re-
<br />claimed areas do not contribute ad-
<br />ditional suspended solids above nat-
<br />ural conditions. During vegetation
<br />studies during 2016 and 2017, it was
<br />concluded that the area sampled at
<br />the mine site readily passes the
<br />ground cover requirements for
<br />Phase III bond release. The vegeta-
<br />tion studies conclude the area exhi-
<br />bits a stable. shrub and forb-
<br />dominated vegetation community
<br />that appear more than capable of
<br />supporting rangeland and wildlife
<br />habitat.
<br />The Munger Canyon Mine is located
<br />in Garfield County approximately 18
<br />miles north of Loma, CO along State
<br />Highway 139. East Salt Creek is lo-
<br />cated on the western portion of the
<br />permit boundary which encompas-
<br />ses 1,538.8 acres. Most of the sur-
<br />face of the permit area is owned by
<br />the United States. The areas for
<br />which bond release is being reques-
<br />ted are encompassed within por-
<br />tions of the S/2NE/4, SW/4, S/2SW/4,
<br />NE/4/SW/4 of Section 22, NW/4NW/4,
<br />SW/4 of Section 27, N/2S/2, S/2N/2
<br />and N/2NE/4 of section 28 and the
<br />S/2NE/4 Section 29, Township 7
<br />South, Range 102 West, 6th P.M. A
<br />portion of the permit area in section
<br />29 is owned by 1#11 Enterprises.
<br />The mine site sections are con-
<br />tained within the U.S. Geological
<br />Survey 7.5 minute Howard Canyon
<br />and Garvey Canyon Quadrangle
<br />maps.
