., <br />RECEIVED <br />Logan Wash Mine <br />Aanua- report MAR 2 4 2003 <br />March 28, 2002 -March 27, 2003 <br />Permit No.: M-1977-424 Division of Minerals and Geology <br />1.0 Introduction <br />This annual report has been prepared in accordance with regulations of the State of Colorado <br />Division of Minerals and Geology (DMG) and the regulations promulgated by the Colorado <br />Mined Land Reclamation Board. The information in this report pertains to the period March 28, <br />2002 to March 27, 2003 (reporting period). Projected reclamation activities For the following <br />year are also presented. <br />The Logan Wash Mine, located approximately 12 miles northeast of De Beque, Colorado, is <br />managed by Glenn Springs Holdings, Inc. (GSHI) for Occidental Oil Shale, Inc. (OOSI). A <br />general site location map for the Logan Wash Mine is presented in Figure 1. <br />This annual report summarizes the reclamation status of the Logan Wash Mine. During the <br />reporting period, no surface reclamation work was conducted on the OOSI property or OOSI <br />right-of--ways on the adjoining U. S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) property. At this time, <br />GSHI requests to remain on Temporary Cessation status at the Logan Wash Mine Site. GSHI is <br />in the process of evaluating a reclamation schedule for Logan Wash Mine and will notify DMG <br />regarding removal from Temporary Cessation status. GSHI anticipates reclamation activities to <br />resume in 2003. Planned reclamation activities are partially dependent on the performance of the <br />pilot passive-water-treatment system now being tested at the site (see Section 4). <br />The remainder of this annual report is organized as follows <br />• Section 2: Disturbed Acreage Status <br />• Section 3: Monitoring Activities <br />• Section 4: Construction of Pilot Passive Water Treatment System <br />• Section 5: Reclamation Activities in 2002 <br />• Section 6: Maintenance Activities <br />• Section 7: Anticipated Reclamation in the Year 2003 <br />• Section 8: Anticipated Disturbance in the Year 2003 <br />Please refer to Figure 1, the Logan Wash Mine location map, and Figure 2, the Logan Wash Mine <br />site map for features discussed in this report. <br />2.0 Disturbed Acreage Status <br />According to Exhibit E, the Reclamation Plan for Logan Wash (1981), 134.7 acres were approved <br />for disturbance within the permit area. However, only 113.6 acres have actually been disturbed <br />within the permit area. To date, it is estimated that at least 25 acres have been reclaimed at the <br />Logan Wash Mine Site. Surface structures that remain on site include a raise borehole and <br />ventilation fan area, two vault structures (one on the lower bench and one at the evaporation <br />pond), a small section of exposed piping and support structures from the retort drainage pipeline, <br />and monitoring wells LWCW-lA and LW-I 12, and Pond 1 (evaporation pond). Two additional <br />wells (LW 22 and LW 422? [ID uncertain]) were located on July 16'" near the main access road <br />Western Water & Land, Inc. 1 of 5 <br />DMGLWann103.doc <br />3/6/2003 <br />
