Review of the final materials shows that the requirements of the Division's. <br /> Hard Rock and Metals Rule 3 and Rule 6.3 have been satisfied. <br /> Except for the completion date proposed in Gold Eagle's submittal,the revised reclamation plan, as set <br /> forth in Technical Revision TR-02,has been approved by the Division,effective as of December 6,2013. <br /> The specific details of the revised reclamation plan address current conditions for disturbances created <br /> alter issuance of the permit and are the basis of the Division's approval as discussed below. <br /> I. Main shaft. The revised reclamation plan proposes to leave the existing steel grate that is welded <br /> in place at the shaft collar,with no shaft backfilling required,as the permanent closure. The <br /> Division has received no adverse comment from the DOE,and the Division therefore approves <br /> this method of safeguarding the shaft. The steel grate will be inspected to ensure that it fully <br /> covers all portions of the shaft opening;that it is securely welded to the imbedded anchors,and <br /> that the surrounding concrete collar is intact and competent. <br /> 2. Hoist house. The operator proposed to remove this building and its contents from the site. The <br /> removed materials are to be properly disposed of offsitc. The Division approves this revision, <br /> therefore the concrete slab under the building's superstructure may be removed and buried, or <br /> broken in-place and capped(by a layer of overburden no less than 24 inches deep,and properly <br /> sloped). Note: The operator's revised Reclamation Map incorrectly indicated that the hoist house <br /> would not be removed,but the operator subsequently corrected that mistake,and clarified that the <br /> hoist house would be removed. <br /> 3. Wood and concrete ore bins,adjacent to hoist house. The operator proposed that the ore bins <br /> north of the hoist house(consisting of wood superstructure and concrete pad)would be <br /> Page 1 <br /> Office of Office of <br /> mined Land Reclamation Denver • Grand)unction • Durango Active and Inactive Mines <br />
