The Fruita Mine Project area is located approximately 10 miles,north of Fruita in Mesa County,
Colorado. Situated in the Bookcliffs, the elevation of the work area is approximately 5,000 feet.
WORK SUMMARY
The Fruita Mine is an underground coal mine. The permit was revoked and the financial warranty
forfeited by the State of Colorado in 1994. The site was reclaimed using the forfeited bond money in
1996 and in 2000. Reclamation work included grading, erosion controls and revegetation. Since the
site was last reclaimed in 2000, a number of erosion features have developed that require repair and
maintenance. The project work will include removal and plugging of the corrugated metal pipe spillway
in the sediment pond, grading and lining of the sediment pond spillway, maintenance and repair of
several rock lined channels, armoring above the mine portal and revegetation of all newly disturbed
areas.
