UTAH BOARD OF OIL, GAS AND MINING EARTH DAY AWARD NOMINATION Canyon Fuel Company, LLC - SUFCO MINE Habitat Improvement Projects Within The Muddy Drainage Sevier County, Utah CANYON FUEL COMPANY, LLC – SUFCO MINE

Project Overview Sufco was to complete one habitat improvement project by 2017 as an obligation to the Forest Service We fulfilled and surpassed our obligation by completing three projects rather than the single project requirement The projects at two of the sites were submitted in conjunction with this nomination: MSP08 Pines 310 Projects included: Vegetation enhancement Spring development improvements Fencing of sensitive areas MSP08 Pines 310 GW13 Sufco Mine

CANYON FUEL COMPANY, LLC – SUFCO MINE MSP08 MSP08 is a low yielding spring with no defined discharge point (0.01 gpm in June prior to project) Installed French drain system to capture flow in seep area (increased flow 9 fold to gpm) Installed durable troughs

CANYON FUEL COMPANY, LLC – SUFCO MINE Replaced dilapidated fence surrounding spring area to protect spring and sensitive riparian vegetation Low impact to soils and vegetation by using helicopter to deliver materials and remove dilapidated troughs After Before Fence surrounding spring area Drilling helicopter used to deliver fence materials/gravel and to remove dilapidated troughs from the site MSP08

CANYON FUEL COMPANY, LLC – SUFCO MINE Benefits of project: Low impact to soils and vegetation during construction Durable collection system and troughs Increased water availability and storage capacity for wildlife and livestock Increased grazing distribution MSP08

CANYON FUEL COMPANY, LLC – SUFCO MINE Pines 310 Riparian meadow area directly below spring gets heavily grazed by livestock Developed the spring and directed flow to meadow area, increasing water availability for vegetation and wildlife Fenced off over 1 acre to protect sensitive riparian vegetation June 2013 July 2015 Spring New Fence Pines 310

CANYON FUEL COMPANY, LLC – SUFCO MINE Pines 310

CANYON FUEL COMPANY, LLC – SUFCO MINE Project Summary Spring development projects improved water availability for vegetation, wildlife, and livestock. Durable materials used in spring developments will prolong the life of the systems. Spring developments allow for increased water storage and increased grazing distribution. Fence surrounding springs and sensitive riparian vegetation protects areas from impacts. Canyon Fuel Company, LLC – Sufco Mine believes strongly in being responsible environmental stewards as exemplified by our work on these projects.
