Mark W. Ogrady -2- January 28, 1994 used for reclamation of this disturbance. The Division proposes to leave this disturbance in its present condition at this time. 3. The unreclaimed mining disturbance at this location covers an estimated area of 7,500 square feet and has one highwall that is approximately 25 feet tall. The Division has determined that this disturbance did not result from operations conducted by TBM; as such, the expenditure of monies from the forfeited TBM bond will not be used for reclamation of this disturbance. The Division proposes to leave this disturbance in its present condition at this time. 4. Pond 15-P10 was not approved as a permanent pond in the approved reclamation plan. The Division proposes to remove pond 15-P10, backfill and regrade the area to approximate original contour, and plant reclamation vegetation. Priority has been characterized as medium. 5. Pond 15-P7 1 was not approved as a permanent pond in the approved reclamation plan; however, removal of pond 15-P11 would necessitate installation of an additional culvert under the county road and would increase sediment loading of Del Agua Creek. The Division proposes to leave pond 15-P11 for sediment control and to provide water for wildlife and livestock. The approved post-mining land use is rangeland and wildlife habitat; therefore, leaving pond 15-P11 would improve the land for its intended land use. The Division proposes to lower the elevation of the secondary spillway and replace the protective riprap lining of the secondary spillway. Priority has been characterized as medium. 6.
