1.0 INTRODUCTION <br />This hydrology and sedimentology report has been prepared as part of an application for <br />eligibility for removal of sediment ponds at the Carbon Junction Mine (Colorado Division <br />Reclamation, Mining and Safety permit C-1992-080) under Section 4.05.6(14) of the <br />Regulations of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board for Coal Mining. The mine <br />underwent final reclamation in the spring and summer of 2006, including reclamation <br />seeding and mulching. This year represents the second growing season for the <br />revegetation, with excellent results. Remaining final reclamation obligations include <br />removal of some mining machinery, removal of those elements of the sediment control <br />system that will not be utilized in the development of the site post-mining. Documented <br />within is information relative to the erosion and sedimentation condition of the areas <br />reclaimed in 2006, which represent the majority of former land disturbance at the mine, <br />and the native pinyon juniper vegetation community and agricultural areas adjacent to the <br />mine. Qualitative evaluation of the revegetation for application was undertaken by <br />Michael Savage in June 2007. Additional information was compiled from the approved <br />mining and reclamation permit, herein incorporated by reference. Sedimentation and <br />erosion analysis was conducted by Michael Savage of Savage and Savage, Inc. <br />Oakridge Energy Carbon Junction Mine Page 1 <br />Sediment Pond Sedimentology Demonstration
