Carbon Junction Mine (CDMG permit C-92-080) Dear Ms. Pautsky: Oakridge Energy, Inc. is applying for Phase I, II and III bond and liability release for a small parcel of property within the permit area of the Carbon Junction Mine, located two miles southeast of the Durango city limits, midway up Carbon Junction Canyon, on Ewing Mesa. This is approximately one mile east of the Highway 160-550 business route junction, lying one mile east of the Animas River. The parcel for which bond release is sought is within portions of Section 33, T35N, R9W and Section 33, T34'/z N, R9W. As required by Colorado law, whenever bond or liability release is requested, all interested or affected parties with a valid legal interest must be notified, and afforded the opportunity to comment or request an informal conference on the bond release in accordance with Rule 3.03.3 of the Regulations of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board for Coal Minine. This letter will serve to notify you that Oakridge Energy is requesting liability release for the area with no accompanying reduction in the amount of the existing reclamation bond. The area, while within the mine permit area, was not part of the mining area, and the only mine related disturbance was the construction of a storage pad and accompanying access road. Total disturbance is approximately one acre. The owner of the property wishes the facility left in-place for use in the development and operation of the property. The release of liability would release al] reclamation liability for this area from the mine. The complete bond and liability release application submitted to the Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology will be on file with the Division in Denver at 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, and the La Plata County Clerk and Recorder, La Plata County Courthouse, 1060 E. Second Avenue, Durango, CO 80301 during the review period. All information pertinent to the bond and liability release request is presented in this application.
