i <br />~J <br />E7~ON COMPANY, U.S.A. <br />POST OFFICE BOX 2180 • HOUSTON, TEXAS 77252-21 BO <br />REFINING DEPARTMENT <br />SYNTHETIC FUELS <br />Division of Minerals and Geology <br />Colorado Department of Natural Resources <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />Dear Sirs: <br />u <br />October 29, 1996 <br />Section 112 Annual Report and Fee <br />Permit No. M-8~1~p <br />REC <br />pG1 31 1r~ <br />pwm~a„ or Mlnv7ralo G. ©Gn~agY <br />Enclosed are the Section 112 annual fee payment and report for the Colony Shale Oil <br />Project. <br />Items 4 and 8 in the annual report deal with acreage affected during the past year and <br />acreage to be affected during the coming year. As we reported last year, in 1995 we <br />dismantled and removed the pilot scale oil shale retorting plant which occupied <br />approximately 3 acres within Area 5 in our 1982 Site Disturbance Inventory. Since <br />work was confined to areas which had been previously disturbed, items 4 and 8 were <br />reported as zero in 1995 and are zero in 1996. <br />Items 5-7 in the annual report pertain to reclamation activities. Although reclamation <br />of the pilot retort site is not specifically addressed in the 1980 MLRB Permit <br />Application, we followed reclamation procedures described in that application for the <br />process plant site. After the site was graded, topsoil from the Upper Davis Gulch <br />topsoil pile was spread at a depth of 6-12 inches, and the area was reseeded using <br />the permanent seed mix specified for the process plant site. As a result of work in <br />1996, item 5 in this annual report shows 3 acres reclaimed. Items 6 and 7 reflect the <br />additional 3 acres backfilled, graded, topsoiled, seeded, and fertilized. <br />Rule 1.15(1)(a) requires an updated statement regarding the sufficiency of the value <br />of the Financial Warranty. We believe the Financial Warranty for the subject permit is <br />sufficient. <br />A DIVISION OF E%%ON CORPORATION <br />
