Rule 2.04.11— Fish and Wildlife Resources Information <br />8. Permit Section 3.7.6 contains the threatened and endangered species information <br />for the Coal Ridge Mine. This information was last updated in November 2001. <br />Please review the threatened and endangered species information contained <br />in permit Section 3.7.6 and compare the information with the Garfield <br />County threatened and endangered species list. Please update this <br />information as necessary. <br />Rule 2.05.3 — Operations Plan <br />9. Table 4.3 -1 on page on page 4 -20 shows the permit, disturbed and affected <br />acreages at the Coal Ridge Mine. The table lists the disturbed acreage as 45.2 <br />acres. The Division's Permit System shows the disturbed acreage as 47.0 acres. <br />Please verify the disturbance acreage number and correct Table 4.3 -1 if <br />necessary. <br />Rule 2.05.4 — Reclamation Plan <br />10. There is a remaining sediment pond, Pond A, and ditch system at the Coal Ridge <br />Mine. Pond A and the associated ditches are scheduled to come out for final <br />reclamation. Given the fact that the pond is in an over - appropriated stream <br />system, it is likely that the pond and ditches would not be approved as permanent <br />if Coal Ridge requests them to remain as permanent, post- mining features. <br />Additionally, the entire Coal Ridge Mine has been granted a Phase II Bond <br />Release and the Division has determined that the sediment pond and ditches are <br />no longer required for sediment control. Given that the Pond A and the <br />associated ditches are no longer needed or required and that the permit <br />currently requires the reclamation of the pond and ditches, please provide <br />the Division with a status update and timing for the removal of Pond A and <br />the associated ditches. <br />Rule 3.02.2 — Determination of Bond Amount <br />11. As part of the review of the Coal Ridge RN -06 application the Division <br />recalculated the liability for the remaining reclamation at the Coal Ridge Mine. <br />The new liability for the remaining reclamation at the Coal Ridge Mine is <br />$28,925.00. The Division currently holds a Certificate of Deposit No. <br />0133666870 from Wells Fargo Bank West, N.A. in the amount of $43,200.00. <br />The Division currently holds enough bond monies to ensure that reclamation can <br />be completed by a third party contractor in the event of permit revocation and <br />bond forfeiture. A copy of the Division's reclamation cost estimate is attached. <br />12. Exhibit 4.4 -1 contains the reclamation cost estimate for the Coal Ridge Mine. <br />This estimate is old and out of date. Please submit a copy of the new <br />
