FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
   
New Fluvial Geomorphic Approach Wins “National” and “Best of the Best” Reclamation Awards
 
Las Vegas, NV (1 October 2004) - The U.S. Department of Interior (DOI) identified reclamation projects using the new GeoFluv™ approach to land reclamation as the “Best of the Best” at its Excellence in Surface Coal Mining Reclamation Awards in Las Vegas, Nevada last week. The GeoFluv™ approach is the foundation for Carlson Software’s new Natural Regrade software for landform design.
 
The DOI’s Office of Surface Mining (OSM) presented two awards to BHP Billiton’s San Juan Coal Company for reclamation projects designed using the GeoFluv™ approach. OSM’s Excellence in Surface Coal Mining Reclamation Awards recognize outstanding projects that “have established examples for others to follow.” OSM presented San Juan Coal Company a National Award “for achieving the most exemplary mining and reclamation in the country”, and the prestigious “Best of the Best” award for the top project overall.
 
U.S. DOI/OSM stated that “the grading techniques and channel design used at the San Juan Mine has been called the most innovative reclamation technology that has been developed for western coal mining during the past 25 yearsm ... a design process based on fluvial geomorphic principles, so the reclaimed topography is more stable, diverse, and resistant to damage from flash flooding than traditional reclaimed land ...” 
 
Nicholas Bugosh, the inventor of this innovative reclamation approach called GeoFluv™, joined Carlson Software in 2003 to computerize the approach and make GeoFluv™ available as user friendly computer software to the greatest possible body of users. The new Natural Regrade software, based on the GeoFluv™ approach, was previewed by Carlson Software (www.carlsonsw.com) at the 2004 MineExpo in Las Vegas, Nevada.
 
“The software provides an exciting new way to create stable and cost-effective landform designs,“ said Bruce Carlson, company president. Natural Regrade helps the user create a GeoFluv™ design, calculate the material balance for the design, and optimize material handling for design construction.
 
GeoFluv™ has broad applications to landform designs. Reclamation projects, as well as new construction for storm water control, housing subdivisions, golf courses, etc., can benefit from the new software.
 
The Natural Regrade software interfaces smoothly with machine control software for additional efficiency in constructing the design. Machine control uses Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite-technology to eliminate the need to stake designs in the field and can deliver great time and dollar savings during construction. Carlson Software is presently conducting final testing on the Natural Regrade module and will release it soon to those who want to be a part of this new approach to landform design.
