<br />Remaining Reclamation <br />Topsoil Stockpiles 4,7, and 8 <br />With completion of the final grading operations at the North Pit, South Pit Drill Pad, <br />Permanently Reclaimed Spoils Area, North Pit Haul Road, and Equipment Area, topsoil was <br />redistributed from Topsoil Stockpile #2 and a portion of Topsoil Stockpile #7. <br />When all topsoil is removed from a given stockpile, sufficient topsoil from the stockpile will be <br />retained to re-topsoil the basal area of the topsoil stockpile. Topsoil stockpiles 7 and 8 will retain <br />adequate volumes of topsoil to re-topsoil Sediment Ponds 1 and 2 after the determination that <br />they are no longer required and they have been regraded. Re-topsoiled topsoil stockpile <br />locations (footprints of the former stockpile locations) will be revegetated in accordance with the <br />revegetation plan. In the event that there is topsoil in excess of that required to replace a <br />maximum of 12-18 inches of topsoil on the disturbed areas of the Carbon Junction Mine, excess <br />topsoil may be replaced on adjacent disturbed and/or reclaimed areas owned by Oakridge Energy <br />on Ewing Mesa to facilitate needs under the approved post-mining land uses. Until it is used, <br />any excess topsoil will remain stabilized in one or more topsoil stockpiles. <br />Sediment Ponds I and 2 <br />Sediment ponds 1 and 2 will be reclaimed (backfilled, regraded, retopsoiled, and revegetated) <br />following a determination that they are no longer required for sediment control at the Carbon <br />Junction mine site. <br />In addition to the above described modifications to the reclamation plan described above, the <br />following modification was made previously to the reclamation plan. This change involved <br />removal of the former explosives area from the mine site. <br />Golf Course Reclamation <br />The northwest corner of the original permit area (approximately 10 acres) fell within the area <br />planned for development of a golf course and ancillary facilities. To facilitate construction of the <br />golf course facility, Oakridge Energy requested that the explosives bench and access road be left <br />in their current configuration. Based on this request, liability release from CDMG was sought <br />for this area. CDMG approved this release in 1997. Subsequent to the liability release, the area <br />was excised from the Carbon Junction Mine permit area (CDMG TR07). <br />Abridged Permit Document 5-25 Feb 2008
