23 <br />Page of <br /> <br />with the proposed permit text. <br /> <br />Rule 2.05.3 – Operation Plan-Permit Area <br /> <br /> <br />2.Table V-3: Summary of Disturbed Areas on proposed page V-24 shows an increase in <br />disturbed area for B-Vent shaft #2, SH-1, SH-2 and road north of RDH-3 and for Return <br />Shafts. On the application form for MR-157, there is a proposed change in disturbed <br />area of +0.2 acres which appears to be related to the increase in disturbed area for B- <br />Vent shaft #2, SH-1, SH-2 and road north of RDH-3. However, there is also an increase <br />of disturbed acreage of 0.76 acres for Return Shafts in the proposed Table V-3. When <br />compared to the currently approved Table V-3, this additional acreage disturbance <br />doesn’t appear to be accounted for in the application form for MR-157. It is not clear to <br />the Division if this is an error with the proposed page or if there is additional disturbed <br />acreage not accounted for in the application form. The Division would appreciate <br />clarification on the proposed increase in disturbance acreage. <br /> <br />Rule 2.10 – Maps and Plans <br /> <br /> <br />3.As mentioned in Item 1, all structures removed with the proposed MR-157 will need to <br />be reapplied to the proposed permit text which also applies to the proposed Map 155. <br />Please include all removed structures in the proposed Map 155. <br /> <br />Rule 4.18 – Protection of Fish, Wildlife, and Related Environmental Values <br /> <br /> <br />4.The Division is still currently reviewing Deserado Mine’s discussions concerning weed <br />control measures to address current thoughts on the control of cheatgrass by herbicides <br />and with the use of forage kochia. In order to keep the revision’s processes continuing in <br />a timely manner, the Division will address any issues regarding proposed weed control <br />measures with a future adequacy letter if necessary. No response is needed at this time. <br /> <br />If you have any questions, please contact me. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Zach T. Trujillo <br /> <br />
