Colony Shale Oil Project <br />Section 112 Annual Report <br />Mai <br />The map, "Affected Land Status -Figure 3," was not updated this year, because the status of <br />lands did not change since last year. It will be updated with next year's annual report. <br />Coarse Ore Valley Stabilization/Reclamation <br />In June, 2001 we began a three year Coarse Ore Valley Stabilization Project to smooth some <br />rough areas and improve the vegetation of Area 17. <br />Earthwork for the 2003 phase of the project was begun in August and completed in October, <br />2003. No new acreage was disturbed. As of this report, materials for revegetation are on site, <br />and fertilization/reseeding began on October 21. It is projected to be complete during the week <br />of November 3, unless we have an early snow, which appears to be unlikely. Because we have <br />not completed revegetation and will not by the anniversary of our permit, that work and our <br />seed mix will be reported next year. <br />Last year we were unable to obtain suitable the Douglas Fir (pseudotsuga menziesii glauca) <br />seed called for in our original revegetation plan. We have located another seed source and <br />hope to obtain most of the seed required. If we are successful, the planned areas will be <br />seeded in the spring of 2004 and reported in our 2004 annual report. <br />If the Division would prefer that we submit an interim report, we would be glad to do so, <br />preferably after April, 2004 when fir seeding should be complete. <br />Affected Land Status <br />Permitted acreage 6778 <br />Historic Disturbances To Date Past Year <br />Affected acreage 1134 0 <br />Reclaimed acreage 128 0 <br />Planned Disturbances Next Year <br />Affected acreage 0 <br />Reclaimed acreage (Area 17) 14 <br />Beginning of active operations June 13, 1980 <br />Date active operations ceased NA, ongoing <br />
