s i E7~ON COMPANY, U.S.A. POST OFFICE BOX 2180 • HOUSTON. TEXAS 7 72 5 2-2 1 80 flEFINING DEPARTMENT SYNTHETIC FUELS RECEIVED ~~ 31 1995 Division of Minerals ~ Geoio9Y October 30, 1995 Section 112 Annual Report and Fee Permit No. M-80-047 Division of Minerals and Geology Colorado Department of Natural Resources 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 Denver. CO 80203 Dear Sirs: For the Colony Shale Oil Project enclosed are our annual report, fee payment, and photographs of signs and boundary markers we have installed. Annual Report Items 4 and 8 in the annual report deal with acreage affected during the past year and acreage to be affected during the coming year. As we reported last year and Messrs. Gregg Squire and Carl Mount observed during their 1995 site inspection, early this year we began dismantling and removal of the pilot scale oil shale retorting plant which occupied approximately 3 acres within Area 5 in our 1982 Site Disturbance Inventory. Removal of the structure and its appurtenances has been completed. Since work has been confined to areas which had previously been disturbed, items 4 and 8 are reported as zero. Since we do not expect to need this 3 acre site for commercial development, we plan to reclaim it next year. Although its reclamation is not specifically addressed in the 1980 MLRB Permit Application, we plan to reclaim the pilot retort plant site in accordance with the procedures that are described in that document for the process plant site. This work will entail recontouring to produce a gently rolling topography, removal or burial of foundations to just below grade, spreading 6-12 inches of topsoil, and reseeding the area using the permanent seed mix specified for the process plant site. Upon completion of this work, we expect that item 6 in next year's report will change to reflect the additional 3 acres which will have been backfilled, graded, topsoiled, and reseeded. ~, A DIVISION OF EX%ON CORPORATION
