Mr. Caccamise <br />Page 12 <br />April 2, 2014 <br />for sources of metal contamination, the prospector will be investigating a mineral deposit <br />with the intent of developing or extracting said mineral deposit. <br />4. The Applicant did not specify the amount of material to be extracted or moved. Please <br />specify the amount of material, in cubic yards, to be extracted. <br />5. The Applicant has stated two drill pads will be constructed. Please provide a description of <br />how the drill pads will be constructed, this information is necessary to calculate the costs <br />associated with reclaiming the drill pads. <br />6. The Applicant has stated that the drill sites and roads will be graded and revegetated per the <br />USFS recommendations. Please provide the Division with any recommendations you have <br />received from the USFS. <br />7. The Plan of Operations (POO) which was submitted with the NOI Application states that a <br />water truck will be utilized for this project. Please specify how the water will be used in this <br />project. In addition, specify the source of the water and the estimated volume of water to be <br />used. <br />8. The Project Description in the attached POO includes the following statement: Rotary <br />drilling; maximum 10,000 feet. Please clarify if `10,000 feet' refers to the elevation at which <br />drilling will be conducted. <br />9. The POO states that drill cuttings will be transported to logging sheds at the mill site. The <br />POO also states that the logging sheds will be mounted on an old building foundation on the <br />mill site claim. Please confirm that the mill site claim is located on USFS property. Also, <br />specify the number of sheds to be erected and provide the dimensions of the sheds as well as <br />the materials used to construct the sheds, i.e. corrugated metal, plywood, concrete blocks. <br />Since these structures will be used in conjunction with the prospecting operation, the <br />Division must bond for their removal. Finally, describe how the mill site claim is accessed, is <br />there an existing access road? <br />10. The POO references Drill Hole #3 which was completed in 2003. Please clarify how the <br />existing drill holes on Webster Pass relate to the proposed Red Cone project. <br />11. The POO states that water will be pumped from Handcart Gulch. The applicant must <br />demonstrate a legal right to divert and consume water from Handcart Gulch. In addition, you <br />must specify the volume of water to be diverted and the intended use of the water. Also, <br />describe all conveyances used to pump water to the drill pads and provide the dimensions of <br />all piping to be used. <br />12. The POO states that drilling fluids will be transported from the site. This statement <br />contradicts information provided in the NOI Application, which specifies air drilling. Please <br />clarify if drilling fluids will be produced as a result of the proposed drilling operation. <br />
