UTAH COAL REGULATORY PROGRAM
2006 ANNUAL REPORT

In addition to the 2006 Annual Report form, samples for inspection of structures which require certified reports are also included. Two forms are attached. The first form is the IMPOUNDMENT INSPECTION AND CERTIFIED REPORT form which can be used to report all impounding structures including sediment ponds. The second form is the INSPECTION AND CERTIFIED REPORT ON EXCESS SPOIL PILE OR REFUSE PILE form. While all of the inspections for 2006 should have been accomplished prior to receiving these forms, the permittee is encouraged to adopt and use these forms for future inspection and reporting requirements. These forms are meant to ensure that the minimum requirements as specified the Coal Rules are being met. The permittee is encouraged to expand and/or customize these forms as necessary to meet their specific needs.

This is to remind you to file an Annual Report for 2006, for your coal mining and reclamation operations. Please be sure to submit the following items as part of the 2006 Annual Report:
