2009 Annual Reclamation Report <br />Edna Mine <br />Permit C-80-001 <br />INTRODUCTION <br />The purpose of this report is to provide updated information pertaining to the reclamation of the <br />Edna Mine and discuss bond release, affected area, topsoiled and seeded acreage summaries. <br />The previous report, dated January 2009, reported reclamation activities through the end of 2008. <br />This report discusses reclamation data and maintenance activity through the end of 2009. <br />The report is divided into several sections including: Colorado Division of Reclamation Mining <br />& Safety (CDRMS) Annual Reclamation Report for the Year 2009; Reclaimed Land Acreage <br />Summary; and 2009 Maintenance. The tables provided summarize total acreage for all years of <br />mining and reclamation activity at the mine covered by the Regulations of the Colorado Mined <br />Land Reclamation Board for Coal Mining (effective August 30, 1980). The exhibits provided <br />illustrate the location of bond release areas, topsoiled and seeded areas, and all maintenance <br />activity performed in 2009. <br />Bond release SL-10 for phases I, II and III was applied for November 24, 2008, deemed <br />complete by CDRMS on January 5, 2009 and was approved February 1, 2010. SL-10 (Old <br />Tipple Road, Facilities and Ponds) includes 13.3. acres of land that had previously not reached <br />any phase of bond release. Due to the release date occurring in 2010 the remainder of this report <br />does not reference the SL-10 bond release. <br />Bond release SL-11 for phases II and III was applied for May 13, 2009 and deemed complete by <br />CDRMS on June 29, 2009. SL-11 (West Ridge Area, Moffat Area and Support Facilities Area) <br />includes 1197.6 acres of land that had previously reached phase I release (SL-2, SL-4 and SL-7). <br />CDRMS has postponed a proposed decision until the success of weed control measures and the <br />evaluation of the presence of weeds can be reevaluated in the spring/summer of 2010. Due to the <br />postponed proposed decision date, and therefore release date, occurring in 2010 the remainder of <br />this report does not reference the SL-11 bond release. <br />11*--1-W Gw........
