Final Reclamation Alrnr Permit mo. M-1977-297 Technical Revision eipplication <br /> 4.0 Reclamation Sc,reduhe <br /> The DOE has stated!in a letter dated October 26, 2011 that.fudge William J. Martinez issued an opinion <br /> that the Defendants (DOE) "are hereby enjoined from approving any activity on lands governed by the <br /> ULMP, including exploration,drilling, mining and reclamation activities". In accordance with the Courts <br /> opinion Gold Eagle Mining Inc. is unable to initiate reclamation by October 1,2013 as indicated in the <br /> Divisions Inspection,Report of May 16,2013. <br /> In addition and on February 27, 2012, the Court amended the injunction to allow the agencies"to conduct <br /> only those activities) on ULMP lands that are absolutely necessary". The amended injunction fiirther <br /> addresses those emergencies as identified in Paragraph 5 (1)—that are"absolutely necessary to remediate <br /> dangers to the public health, safety,and environment on ULMP lands caused by major storm events,acts <br /> of vandalism, or land subsidence". For this reason, we are requesting that DOE provide a letter stating <br /> that the reclamation work is prohibited at this time since this work is not caused by any emergencies or is <br /> an imminent danger as defined by the amended injunction. <br /> Based upon the above DOE restrictions, Golden Eagle Mining Inc. will initiate reclamation after all <br /> matters have been resolved by DOE relative to the outstanding PEIS for DOE properties and programs. <br /> Gold Eagle ;Mining Inc. has requested a letter from DOE re-stating this prohibition (See Attached) and <br /> will transmit DOE's letter to DRMS upon receipt. The schedule below is based on timing predicated on <br /> DOE successfidly completing the PSIS which remains in-process. <br /> Table 2-Final Reclamation Schedule <br /> Reclamation Activity Schedule <br /> Sealing of Portals First Spring to Fall Period Subsequent To DOE Release <br /> Disposition of Waste First Spring to Fall Period Subsequent To DOE Release <br /> Site Grading and Contouring First Fall Period Subsequent To DOE Release <br /> Weed Control S rim or Sumer Following Reclamation <br /> Re-Vegetation First Fall Subsequent To All Disturbances <br /> Gold Eagle Mining Inc.
