RE: Notice of Intent to Conduct Prospecting Application; Badger a Group of Mines; File No. P -2013-
019; Second Notice of Deficiencies
Dear Mr. Kennard,
On December 24, 2013, the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (Division) received the Notice of
Intent (NOI) to Conduct Prospecting Application for Badger a Group of Mines, File No. P- 2013 -019.
Our review indicates the NOI application contains deficiencies as defined by Rule 5.1.3 of the Mineral
Rules and Regulations of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board for Hard Rock, Metal, and
Designated Mining Operations. The Division requires the information described below before we can
approve the NOI application.
1. The Applicant has stated that no new shelter will be constructed. Please note that if a shelter is
constructed, as part of prospecting activities, the Operator will need to submit and obtain approval of
a modification to the NOI.
2. The Applicant has stated that the workings will be advanced a maximum of 10 feet. Please clarify if
the advancement of workings will take place in the upper or lower portal, or both.
3. The Applicant has stated that a maximum of 250 cubic yards of material will be removed from
underground. Please clarify if this material will originate from the upper or lower portal, or both.
4. The Applicant is proposing to construct a road across the landowner's patented claims in order to
access the upper portal. In order for the road to remain in place following the completion of
prospecting activities, the Applicant will need to provide a signed and notarized statement from the
landowner indicating that they wish the road to remain for their use. Without a signed statement from
the landowner, the Division will have to include the cost of reclaiming this road segment in the
financial warranty calculation.
Be advised that if these items have not been addressed within 60 days of the date of this letter (March 24,
2014), the Division may terminate the NOI application in accordance with Rule 5.1.3(c) of the Hard Rock
Rules.
Please remember to designate as appropriate those materials in the application that you desire to be made
confidential versus those to be made public. Additionally, if you have received any pertinent
correspondence from the US Forest Service, please forward copies to the Division.
