Additional Information <br />The following CDRMS permitting actions or revisions were undertaken in 2007. <br />Technical Revision 14 <br />Technical Revision 14 was submitted to provide a small area exemption demonstration for <br />the south half of the reclaimed North Pit at the mine. The TR was submitted December <br />10, 2006 and found complete by the Division on December 22, 2006. TR 14 was <br />approved February 15, 2007. <br />Technical Revision 15 <br />Technical Revision 15 was submitted to CDRMS on November 19, 2007 and found <br />complete on November 30, 2007. This revision seeks to demonstrate that the reclamation <br />has been successful in establishing revegetation sufficient to control erosion and <br />sedimentation to pre-mine and natural levels and allow removal of the sedimentation <br />ponds. The Technical Revision is still in review. <br />Phase I Bond Release Application (SL-03) <br />On August 25, 2006 an application for Phase I bond release was submitted to CDRMS. <br />Final backfilling, regrading, drainage control, topsoiling, and revegetation of the North <br />Pit, North Pit Haul Road, Topsoil Stockpile #2, areas within the Previously Reclaimed <br />Spoils Area, South Pit Drill Pad, Equipment Yard, and ancillary areas was accomplished <br />between April and July 2006, making these areas eligible for Phase I as addressed in CRS <br />34-33-125(9)(a) and Rule 3.03.1(2)(a). The Division found the application complete and <br />conducted the on-site bond release inspection on November 7, 2006. A technical adequacy <br />review was issued by the Division on January 5, 2007. A bond release decision is pending. <br />Disturbed Acreage <br />In 2006, a total of 25.67 acres of disturbance was reclaimed to final configuration. The <br />remaining disturbed acreage (11.94 acres) includes sediment ponds 001 and 002 (3.54 <br />acres) and topsoil piles 4, 7, and 8 (8.40 acres). <br />The CDRMS annual reclamation report form is appended.
