This Rule 24 report amends and supercedes in its entirety
CSW Credit, Inc.'s Rule 24 report for the quarter ended March 31,
1995 filed on May 11, 1995.
This report is filed by Ash Creek Mining Company and Public
Service Company of Oklahoma pursuant to Rule 24 of the Securities
and Exchange Commission, promulgated under the Public Utility
Holding Company Act of 1935, as requested in application-
declaration and amendments thereto, filed with the Commission
pursuant to Sections 6(a), 7, 9(A), 10 and 12(B) of said Act.
Said application, as amended, proposed the filing of quarterly
reports pursuant to Rule 24 on operations and expenditures made
and on interest acquired and disposed of by Ash Creek Mining
Company and was authorized by order granting the application
under date of November 30, 1976 in Release No. 19777, which
authorization has been extended periodically (currently through
December 31, 1995 under Release No. 25965 dated December 29, 1993
in File No. 70-6827). This report is for the period of January
1, 1995 to March 31, 1995, pursuant to Rule 24 and covers the
activities of Public Service Company of Oklahoma and Ash Creek
Mining Company for the period.
1) During the 3-month period ending March 31, 1995, Ash Creek
Mining Company removed no overburden from the pit area and,
therefore, the total over burden removed to date is 3,059,780
banked cubic yards.
2) On November 17, 1978, operations were discontinued and mine
was placed on stand-by status. On November 11, 1982, actual
production of coal mining commenced which consummated an
agreement with the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality to
ship a "De Minimis" amount of coal off-site to resolve certain
licensing problems raised by the Department. As of March 31,
1995, approximately 4,440 tons had been shipped off site.
3) During the first quarter 1994, Ash Creek Mining Company
engaged an engineering firm to develop a proposed mine
reclamation plan, classified as a minor revision to its mine plan
from the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (WDEQ). On
August 2, 1994, the WDEQ issued its approval of the proposed mine
reclamation plan. Actual closing of the mine and reclamation is
expected to begin during the third quarter of 1995. Actual
reclamation work is estimated to take approximately 18 months.
