Energy Inc an opportunity to comply with the items above and subsequently re-apply for a Phase III bond release <br />as Bond Release Application Number SL5, but with the added immediate benefits of a partial release of a portion <br />of the reclamation bond held by DRMS for the mine site and a reduction in DRMS site inspections to only <br />Quarterly Complete Inspections). <br />A third possible course of action that Oakridge Energy Inc may wish to consider is to submit a Technical Revision to the <br />Carbon Junction Mine permit that would propose changing the post-mining land use of the disturbed area subject to the <br />SL4 bond release from "Residential" to one of the other land use categories described in Section 1.04(71) of the Board's <br />Regulations. However, as the 10-year reclamation liability described in Section 3.02.3(2)(b) would apply to most of <br />these land use categories (other than for the "Industrial or Commercial" post-mining land use), and as the disturbed <br />area subject to the SL4 application was reseeded in 2006, the earliest that the Division could release the subject <br />disturbed area under this possible third course of action would likely be 2016. <br />Should the Division not receive either letter described in Paragraphs 1 or 2 above by Monday November 1, 2010, the <br />Division will have to proceed with issuing a Proposed Decision to Deny Oakridge Energy Inc's Phase III Bond Release <br />Application Number SL4 for the Carbon Junction Mine. <br />We welcome any other ideas that Oakridge Energy Inc may have regarding this matter. Should Oakridge Energy Inc wish <br />to propose any alternatives to the courses of action described above, we look forward to hearing from Oakridge Energy <br />Inc at its earliest convenience. Otherwise, we look forward to hearing from Oakridge Energy Inc by Monday November <br />1, 2010. <br />Sincerely, <br />Dan <br />Danief.r. Hernan&z <br />Daniel I.
