Please provide the Division with signed copies of the notarized structure agreements with <br />all owners of the structures on and within 200 feet of the affected area of the site. <br />6.5 Geotechnical Stability Exhibit <br />26. The Division's engineering staff reviewed the slope stability analysis report included with <br />the Varra - Coulson site dated June 27, 2013. A copy of the review memo from TC Wait is <br />attached. <br />27. The Applicant states operations will remain 125 feet or greater from residential structures, <br />not otherwise owned or controlled by the Operator. The mining plan map indicates the <br />Operator will mine within 10 feet of the residence owned by Mr. Jesse Corral. Please <br />explain this discrepancy and consider increasing the offset between Mr. Corral residence <br />and the mining disturbance. <br />28. The Slope Stability Analysis report prepared by AWES, LLC indicates 17 soil borings were <br />drilled from the ground surface to bedrock at the site. Please provide the Division with <br />copies of the boring logs. <br />Please be advised the Varra- Coulson Resource Project application may be deemed inadequate, <br />and the application may be denied on January 3, 2014, unless the above mentioned adequacy <br />review items are addressed to the satisfaction of the Division. If more time is needed to <br />complete the reply, the Division can grant an extension to the decision date. This will be done <br />upon receipt of a written waiver of the Applicant's right to a decision by January 3, 2014 and <br />request for additional time. This must be received no later than the deadline date. <br />If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at 303 - 866 -3567 Ext. 8124. <br />Sincerely, <br />Peter S.
