III IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII <br /> <br />RECLAMATION REPORT <br />Coors Energy Company (CEC) has continued to contract the services of both Cooper <br />Aerial Survey Company of Tucson, Arizona and BE&IC/Terranext, LLC (Terranext) <br />in Lakewood, Colorado to provide aerial survey and optical scanning/digitizing <br />services for the 1998 reclamation evaluation and tracking work. In addition to the <br />increased accuracy that has been brought to the overall process through the use of <br />these two firms and the latest mapping and drafting techniques, CEC continues to seek <br />assistance from Terranext in several areas to supplement its own understanding of the <br />"reclamation process". <br />No additional acreage was "disturbed" during 1998. Approximately 1 1 acres of <br />A-Pit haul road located north of the former A-Pit site were reclaimed with the excess <br />spoils from the haul road being used in the reclamation of A-Pit. The western portion <br />of A-Pit haul road was covered with two (2) feet of topsand in 1998, with the <br />remaining portions of A-Pit haul road to be topsanded in 1999 following the <br />placement of topsand on A-Pit, itself. <br />Ash disposal in A-Pit concluded in March, 1998. This approximately 9 acre area <br />• was then covered with six (6) feet of spoils and graded during the remainder of the <br />year. Topsand placement, placement of fertilizer and cover crop (sorghum) seeding <br />are scheduled for the Spring of 1999. No new reclamation seeding was <br />accomplished during 1998. <br />The reclamation summary for the end of 1998 is noted as follows: <br />RECLAMATION ACREAGE SUMMARY <br />Total area remaining to be reclaimed 218.6 acres <br />Total area reclaimed and re-vegetated 194.4 acres <br />Grand Total 413 acres <br /> <br />(Note that these acreage tigures are unchanged from the 1997 report. While <br />reclamation activities were ongoing during 1998, no additional areas reached a level <br />of being both reclaimed and revegetated.) <br />AHR-1998 <br />124- <br />Stipulation # 17 <br />
