<br />Description of the Operations and Reclamation Plan <br />forty nine (49) acres of Colorado Coai Mine No. 1 were reclaimed in late <br />1989: the test burn pit and ancillary structures. Kaiser Steel Resources <br />applied for Phase I Bond Release on the property on July 27, 1990, and the <br />Division proposed an affirmative decision on the release on November 19, 1990. <br />Kaiser Steel Resources submitted Technical Revision 12 on September 27, 1991 <br />to remove the sediment ponds at the site. Hydraulic modelling successfully <br />demonstrated that vegetation cover had stabilized erosion from the site to <br />conditions better than or equal to pre-mining conditions. Kaiser reclaimed <br />the ponds and associated drainage structures covering 14 acres in February and <br />March, 1991. <br />
