2.4 Status Summary
Areas remaining in the permit include Areas 1, 2, 3, 4, l0, portions of Area 13 (Miscellaneous
Access Roads}; and the 0.65 acre Soil Barrow Area. Areas 1 through 4 include the Upper and
Lower Mine Dumps (face areas), Upper Mine Bench, Lower Mine Bench, and the Research Mine
Bench and Dump, respectively. Area 10 is the former Helo Pad. In this report, Area 13,
Miscellaneous Access Roads, includes the Lower Access Road, Upper Access Road, Upper
Bench Road, and Lower Bench Road. Areas 1, 2, 4, 10, and the Upper Bench Road and Lower
Access Road areas of Area 13 were revegetated in the fall of 2005. In addition, the toe of the
Lower Dump was identified as an area requiring reclamation afrer a major storm event in 2004
deposited debris flow material from the Lower Dump at the toe of the dump. OOSI anticipates
requesting release of warranty for Areas 1, 2, 4, and 10 and the revegetated portions of Area 13,
including the "Lower Dump Tce" by fall of 2009.
Areas not expected to be reclaimed under the mine permit are the Lower Bench (Area 3, 2.1 acres), the
Lower Bench Road (Area 13, 0.9 acres), and the Upper Access Road (Area 13, BLM "tramroad" right-
of-way, estimated at 5.3 acres), a total of approximately 8.3 acres. Current plans aze for these azeas to
be released from the mine permit and incorporated into a Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation
Commission (COCCC) Application Permit to Drill (APD). Occidental Oil and Gas Company
(OOGC) has submitted an APD to the COGCC to construct a gas well on the Lower Bench and has
also acquired a BLM right-of--way to access the well by way of the Upper Access Road and the Lower
Bench Road. OOGC is expected to constmct a drill pad on the Lower Bench in the spring of 2006. A
memorandum of understanding between OOSI and OOGC stipulates that reclamation of the entire
Lower Bench, the Lower Bench Road, and the Upper Access Road will be the responsibility of OOGC.
In addition, any other disturbance of previously reclaimed areas within the mine permit area will be
repaired and reclaimed by OOGC. OOSI and OOGC will provide DMG with any required
documentation of this change in land use and permit jurisdiction.
Areas remaining for warranty release, not including Logan Wash Road and the areas anticipated to be
transferred tojurisdiction of the COGCC, total approximately 21 acres or approximately 31 acres
including the evaporation pond.
