RECLAMATION REPORT <br />INTRODUCTION: <br />In 1994, Goors Energy Company "CEC" contacted Industrial Compliance "IC" <br />a subsidiary of SP Environmental Systems, Inc. to digitize, I.E. scan the <br />1993 Aerial Survey Map with a op[~cai scanner and put it mto computor <br />format (on disk). At the same time, Cooper Aerial Surveying "CAS" was <br />updating their aerial survey technology for 1994 to supple surveys in the <br />same format (on disk). CEG expects this method of tracking the <br />Reclamation Operation at Keenesburg to be much more sophisticated and <br />up to date for both the Division and CEC in the future. <br />RULE 2.04.13 <br />During 1994, no additional acreages were disturbed or reseeded, the coal <br />crusher, coal storage, and coal load-out (tipple) facilities were the main <br />reclamation objective. CEC .sub-contracted the demolition of all <br />structural components of the tipple to an outside contractor and by the <br />fourth (4th) quarter was reclaiming the area. As per Rule 4.11.4, Disposal <br />of Nan-coal Wastes, debris from [ne tipple we~a disposed in the pits five <br />• (5) feet above..the water table anr. fe:~r foes below AOC. At the conclusion <br />of 1994 total reclamation of the tipple facility was not yet complete and <br />will continue through the first (1) and second (2) quarters of 1995. <br />Topsand from the tipple area was used to reclaim approximately eight <br />(8.1) acres to the south-west of the tipple facility and overburden <br />material from the same facility was used to backfill the evaporation pond <br />and road areas to the north of the mine boundary. In addition, low areas <br />in the reclamation were backfilled and raised closer to AOC, to comply <br />with then in progress "Drainage Plan II". Topsand was then placed over <br />both the evaporation pond area and the altered reclamation areas, these <br />areas will be seeded in 1995. <br />CEC ended 1994 with: <br />SUMMARY OF ACREAGE <br />Total area remaining to be reclaimed <br />., Total area ready to be planted <br />Total area reclaimed & revegetated <br />• <br />261.2 acres <br />29.8 acres <br />133 acres <br />424 acres <br />AHR-1994 -71- STIPULATION #17 <br />
