In November 2011, a small soil clean-up event was performed on the Upper Access Road <br />following a vehicle rollover that originated on the upper part of the Logan Wash Road. The <br />vehicle came to rest on the Upper Access Road where it leaked fuel on to the ground surface. The <br />area of contamination was approximately 5 ft wide by 5 ft long by 3 inches deep. Soil samples <br />indicate that the area does not meet state standards for the 8 priority pollutant metals and <br />additional clean-up work is expected to occur in 2012. <br />5.2 Evaporation Pond Maintenance <br />Maintenance of the Evaporation Pond included inspection of (1) discharge rates to the pond from <br />the mine retort plumbing system, (2) the leak detection vault, (3) wildlife security fence, (4) storm <br />drainage ditches, and (5) general conditions of the pond, liner, and egress ladders. Repairs were <br />conducted when needed. Fence repair was conducted on May 26, 2011. <br />6.0 Anticipated Reclamation in the Year 2012 <br />Because the fate of mine water discharge is being assessed under Amendment No. 1, OOSI does <br />not anticipate reclamation of any roads or disturbed surface areas at the mine site in 2012. <br />However, if schedule allows, Wells LW -32 and LW -116 will likely be abandoned in 2012. <br />Saplings that were planted on the mine dump faces will be assessed for overall health and <br />mortality. No mechanical irrigation of these saplings is anticipated. Evaporation Pond <br />maintenance will be conducted as needed. Roads not reclaimed will be maintained. <br />7.0 Anticipated Disturbance in the Year 2012 <br />No new disturbance is anticipated to occur in 2012 within the mine permit area associated with <br />OOSI mine permit activities <br />8.0 Threatened Species Designation <br />Logan Wash Mine Annual Report <br />Permit No.: M -1977 -424 <br />On July 27, 2011, the U.S. Department of Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (USFW), listed the <br />plant Penstemon debilis (Parachute beardtongue) as "threatened" status under the Endangered <br />Species Act of 1973 (Act). The critical habitat for the plant is in Garfield County and the Logan <br />Wash Mine site falls within this critical habitat. Numerous penstemon debilis have been observed <br />growing within and long the flanks of the Upper Access Road from the Research Mine portal area <br />to the north on the Upper Mine Bench Road and Lower Mine Bench Road. <br />OXY USA and OOSI are working with the USFW to minimize impact to the critical habitat of P. <br />debilis with the implementation of best management practices (BMPs). However, the occurrence <br />of P. debilis on the Logan Wash Mine site may affect short-term maintenance and the long -term <br />reclamation plan. Any impact to site maintenance and long -term maintenance will be addressed <br />through consultation with USFW and the DRMS. <br />Western Water & Land, Inc. 7 <br />
