During the legal process to obtain the reclamation bond of $931,150.00, the parent corporation of <br />Pueblo Coal, Oakridge Energy, Inc., entered into an arrangement with the State of Colorado to <br />replace the bond, and re-permit the Carbon Junction Mine under an entirely new pemut. With a new <br />bond of $1,125,300.00 fully in place, Oakridge Energy Inc. submitted an application to mine coal on <br />July 30, 1992. The application was assigned Number C-92-080 by [he Division for [he new Carbon <br />Junction Mine, and was called complete on August 11. 1992. The Division submitted the first <br />adequacy comments on November 19, 1992. Due to involved technical issues, and the inclusion of <br />a gravel pit operation within [he boundaries of the coal operation, Oakridge Energy requested to <br />waive the mandatory decision date. Responses to the adequacy issues were received by the Division <br />on December 21, 1992. A review of these responses generated additional concerns and for the next <br />few months, through letters and meetings with Oakridge Energy, Pioneer Engineering, the Division <br />and the Western Support Center for the Office of Surface Mining, all remaining major issues <br />concerning the low wall, bonding estimates and revegetation issues have been resolved. Five minor <br />issues remain unresolved; therefore, the Division proposes to approve Oakridge Energy's permit with <br />stipulations. <br />Stipulation No. 1 <br />BY AUGUST 27, 1993, OAKRIDGE ENERGY WII.L SUBMIT CROSS SECTIONS OF <br />EACH OF THE DRAINAGE DTTCHES AND CROSS SECTIONS AND A PROFIl.E OF <br />THE PERMANENT DNERSION OF CARBON JUNCTION CREEK. <br />Stiuulation No. 2 <br />BY AUGUST 27, 1993, OAKRIDGE ENERGY WII.L SUBMIT UPDATED <br />WORST-CASE, WORST-CASE RECLAMATION, AND FINAL RECLAMATION MAPS, <br />ALL WITH APPROPRIATE CROSS SECTIONS.
