These photos were submitted in response-to a January 20, 2000, inspection'which noted <br /> that the permit boundary was not marked. In a May 24, 2000, inspection report'the boundary <br /> marker deficiency was noted again, and there is also a statement that a surveyor was hired to put <br /> the 75 acre permit area on the ground. A letter'dated June 22,2000, from the Division to RVR <br /> slates that the Division had received the photographs. Note: 3 of the 4 pages of photos have a <br /> date noted in a stamped receipt area of 7/7/76 but you can tell that all the photos were-taken at <br /> the same time,and one page has a note saying the photos are in response to the 1/20/2000 <br /> inspection. Further indications that all the photos are from 2000 are as follows: In 1976, a sign <br /> as not needed at the mine entrance, and some of the photos show the western side of the <br /> p operty with the fence along"O" Street visible in the background. The original permit was <br /> approved in March 1978, so if the '76 date was correct,that would mean the photos were <br /> s omitted before the permit was applied for. And finally,the location of the markers in the <br /> p ioto appear to correspond with the permit line on the 1994 map, <br /> ere is proof that in 1994,the permit area was increased to 75.0 acres. The 1994 Legal <br /> escription did riot match the area being added to the permit in AMOL On the permit map they <br /> added the area bounded by the 1977 legal description(the East parcel)until it intersected the <br /> described offset line, described in the 1994 Legal Description, along the new river bank. This <br /> increased the permit area from 18 to 51.23 acres, a 33.23 acre in, They then followed the <br /> offset line along the north side of the new river channel to a line that,followed-the east bank of <br /> here the old river channel had been until it intersected the west lino of the east parcel. This <br /> increased the permit to 75 acres by using 23.77 acres of the west parcel. As a recap, it-appears <br /> that of the 57 acres needed to bring the total to 75 acres, 23.77 acres was in the western parcel <br /> and 33,23 acres came from the east parcel. <br /> In AM02 we have included the remaining 15.63 acres of the West Parcel that was north of the <br /> top of the north river bank and leaving out that area south of the north bank of the Cache La <br /> P udre River. This permit area covers 90.63 acres and includes the Varra Companies Concrete <br /> Batch Plant Site since it appears to have been included in 1994. <br /> Please set the current permitted acres to 110 on the AM02 application form and revise the <br /> application as needed unless you can provide documentation to substantiate a different <br /> value. DRMS will then adjust the permitted acreage to the appropriate current value <br /> through the approval of AM02 In-order to reconcile the permitted acreage to current survey <br /> data and conditions on the ground.Also see comments on Exhibits C and D regarding total <br /> permitted acres. <br /> See discussion above. The correct acreage is 90.63 'acres. This includes all of the previously <br /> permitted areas; 18.0 acres in original 1977 permit; the increase,of 57.0 acres in 1994's AMO i to <br /> reach the current 75,,.0 acres; and the increase in this amendment(AM02) of 15.63 acres. <br /> EXHIBIT C -Pre-mining and Mining Plan Map(s)of Affected Lands(Rule 6.4.3):The total <br /> acreage(s) reported on the map submitted (52.92+9.36+28.08)gives a proposed permitted <br /> acreage total of 00.36 acres.This does not correspond with the acreage listed on page 1 of <br /> 7 1/20/00 Inspection report—DRMS-Document#Inspec39860 <br /> 8 5/24/00 Inspection report—DRMS-Document#Inspec31443 <br /> 9 6/22/00 Letter—DRMS-Document#Inspee 12044 <br />
