The. affected area is located in La Plata County, approximately 4 miles West of Durango on the north side of U.S. Highway 160. The operator, Sam Arness, applied for a coal mining and reclamation permit for the site (Application No. C-81-042), but did not complete the applica- tion process. The operator had disturbed 5 acres on the site in preparation for underground coal mining, but ceased operations prior to excavating a portal and underground entries. The Mined Land Reclamation Board issued a Cessation Order in 1984, and ordered forfeiture of $13,750 of reclamation bond that had been associated with permit 77-3 ug/c, a Minerals Program permit 77-3 ug/c that had been applicable to the site. The Division reclaimed the disturbed area on the Arness- McGriffin site in 1989 and 1990, using all of the funds from the forfeiture of bond associated with permit 77-3 ug/c. The Division prepared a bond release/termina- :tion of jurisdiction findings docu- ment in 2010.
