Pineda, Director Prepared by Jared Ebert Environmental Protection Specialist April 4,2014 Introduction This document is the proposed decision of the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (the Division)for Surety Increase No. 1 (SI1) at the Keenesburg Strip Mine, Division file number Permit No. C- 1981-028. The package contains three parts. These include: 1) procedures and summary of the bond increase process; 2) observations and findings of the Division regarding compliance with the performance bond requirements of the Colorado Surface Coal Mining and Reclamation Act (Act) and regulations promulgated thereunder;and 3)the Division's proposed decision on the surety increase. Detailed information about the review process can be found in the Act and the Regulations of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board for Coal Mining (Rules). All Rules refc.enced within this document are contained within the Regulations. Detailed information about the mining and reclamation operations can be found in the permit application on file at the Division offices, located at 1313 Sherman Street,Room 215, in Denver,Colorado. The Keenesburg Strip Mine is a Surface Mine which is permitted and operated by Coors Energy Company. The ownership of the land for which bond increase has been proposed is Private, and the coal ownership is State and Private. L PROCEDURES AND SUMMARY OF THE INCREASE PROCESS The Division has initiated this surety increase in order to ensure compliance with Rule 3.02.1,which requires a performance bond for all requirements of the Act, Rules, and the approved reclamation plan. Rule 3.02.1(3)requires the performance bond to cover land within the permit area upon which surface coal mining and reclamation operations are to be initiated and conducted, Rule 3.02.1(4) states that liability of the performance bond shall continue until the entire reclamation plan has been completed. Rule 3.02.2(4) requires the Division to adjust the required performance bond as affected land acreages are increased or decreased or when the cost of future reclamation changes. Procedures for adjustment of the required performance bond include: (a) Notification of the permittee of any proposed bond adjustment, providing the permittee with an opportunity for an informal conference on the adjustment; (b) Issuance of a written proposed decision by the Division to adjust the bond amount, publication of notice of the proposed decision in a newspaper of general circulation in the locality of the mining operation once a week for two weeks following issuance of the decision, and notification of the permittee the surety and any person with a property interest in the collateral who has requested notification;and (c) An opportunity for a formal hearing pursuant to Rule 2.07.4(3); IL OBSERVATIONS AND FINDINGS Prior to Permit Renewal No. 6 (RN6) the reclamation bond held for the site was $2,001,475.00. In September of 2011; during the review of RN6, the Division recalculated the financial liability amount and found it to be $1,913,161.94. The actual financial warranty held was never reduced to that amount. During the review of the SL6 bond release application which was approved in January of 2012, the Division approved CEC request to release liability in the amount of$63,799.00. CEC reduced their financial warranty to $1,937,676.00 ($2,001,475.00 minus $63,799.00). However, the Division re-evaluated the reclamation liability during SL6 and found the required liability amount to be $1,868,426.16. CEC did not reduce their liability to the required amount subsequent to the approval of SL6. During Midterm Review No. 6 (MT6), in accordance with Rule 3.02.2(4) the Division has reviewed the adequacy of the reclamation bonding instruments and we have also reviewed the adequacy of the reclamation cost estimate. There is currently a Corporate Surety in place for the Keenesburg Strip Mine in the amount of $1,937,676.00. The Division calculated a new reclamation cost estimate taking into account the remaining tasks to be completed that have not been released through the phased bond release process. The Division estimated the reclamation cost to be $1,971,874.00 which is $34,198.00 more than the current bond held and is $103,447.84 more than the required liability calculated during the review of SL6. Enclosed with this document is a copy of the Division's estimate from MT6. Costs for pit backfilling/grading, road ripping/grading, topsoil application, structure demolition, and equipment mobilization and demobilization increased from the previous liability estimate. The costs for site maintenance,water monitoring,and revegetation decreased from the previous liability estimate. An increase in equipment costs can be attributed to some of the liability increase. However, the majority of the cost increase can be attributed to task A02 which accounts for backfilling and grading parcels of B Pit that have not received Phase 1 bond release. Based on these parcels acreages(Parcels 30,31 and 32) and the depth of spoil required to be placed on these parcels the volume used to estimate the cost of this task was calculated. The previous cost estimate completed for RN6 and SL6 included a cost for this task however the volume used was found to be insufficient. Also, the Division added additional tasks C04 and C05 to finish grade the internal roads and access road. Topsoiling cost increased based on a new estimate of volume needed for the B-Pit area. A new task was added to address topsoil application on Parcel 25 which has not been granted Phase II bond release. The unit costs for structural demolition also increased. Mobilization and Demobilization costs were re-evaluated, loading and unloading times for non-roadable equipment was increased from the RN6 and SL6 estimate to address the added cost the Division would incur to assemble and disassemble the equipment needed to conduct reclamation. Please see the enclosed cost estimate for details of these costs. III. PROPOSED DECISION Any person with a valid legal interest which might be adversely affected by this proposed decision may request a formal public hearing before the Mined Land Reclamation Board in accordance with Rule 3.03.2(4). Public notice of this proposed decision will be published twice in the Fort Lupton Press as soon as possible. Requests for public hearing must be submitted to the Division in writing within thirty days of the first publication in the Fort Lupton Press. If no hearing is requested within that thirty days, the Division's decision will become final. o ei el to } ) j \ k en to a 2 - - - - - - - - - (A } k \ § ) ( ± ! ) ) ] ) / CNCNN a \ { \ el oo ch oo % 'CC; 2P, } \ °/ .,124 \§ 7 $0 4 CI { t oo a ® § cn / ] Flo 71 , � ) / ) \ \jk . ) e4 1/4,o fa ■ § ! ] - v § \0A / \a ! \ | f / .2 ] e \ ] § / ) # � k m w / � ` ttpaea. ] | § : ( � ) $ ) ) = 0 S4.) o .4 ; ) f ; ; Iig ) 22 § J A § § ) \ { ) � 2Z E-. 00 XI } k ) .. ..
