A third possible course of action that Oakridge Energy Inc may wish to consider is to submit a Technical Revision to the Carbon <br />Junction Mine permit that would propose changing the post-mining land use of the disturbed area subject to the SL4 bond release <br />from "Residential" to one of the other land use categories described in Section 1.04(71) of the Board's Regulations. However, as the <br />10-year reclamation liability described in Section 3.02.3(2)(b) would apply to most of these land use categories (other than for the <br />"Industrial or Commercial" post-mining land use), and as the disturbed area subject to the SL4 application was reseeded in 2006, the <br />earliest that the Division could release the subject 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 Division will <br />have to proceed with issuing a Proposed Decision to Deny Oakridge Energy Inc's Phase III Bond Release Application Number SL4 for <br />the Carbon Junction Mine. <br />We welcome any other ideas that Oakridge Energy Inc may have regarding this matter. Should Oakridge Energy Inc wish to propose <br />any alternatives to the courses of action described above, we look forward to hearing from Oakridge Energy Inc at its earliest <br />convenience. Otherwise, we look forward to hearing from Oakridge Energy Inc by Monday November 1, 2010. <br />Sincerely, <br />Dan <br />DaniefL Hernan&z <br />Daniel I.
