I1 <br /> 1 <br /> Final Reclamation Plan Permit No. jV1--1973-342 Technical Revision Application <br /> Technical Revision Application-Ellison Mine <br /> I <br /> DBMS Permit M-1978-342 <br /> 1.0 introduction <br /> The Ellison Mine contains only one portal to the underground and no other mine openings. The portal <br /> entry is secured with a locked heavy gauge steel grate to preclude entry. The current reclamation plan is <br /> predicated on mining that did not occur. Thus, contouring and leveling requirements anticipated in the <br /> plan are based on activities that were not undertaken. In this regard the level pad constructed for storage <br /> of development rock will require grading and reclamation. The site is free of stockpiles except for a small <br /> topsoil pile which will be distributed as cover for disturbed areas as an element of reclamation. A steel <br /> building, buried water tank for drill water, two modular storage containers, and a wood-cribbed earthen <br /> equipment ramp remain onsite. <br /> 2.0 Reclamation Plait Commitments <br /> The reclamation plan(s) submitted to the DMRS are those outlined in the original 1978 permit <br /> application. The reclamation needs identified at that time included the following: <br /> a) Sealing of Portals and Ventilation Shafts <br /> The current reclamation plan calls for sealing of the portal. <br /> b) Removal of§tructures and Cleanup, <br /> The current reclamation plan calls for removal of the steel building, buried water tank, two <br /> modular storage containers,and a woos-cribbed earthen equipment ramp remain onsite. <br /> c) Disposition Of Mine Waste(Contouring Leveling,Use for Backfill.etc.) <br /> The current reclamation plan is predicated on mining that did not occur. Thus,the contouring and <br /> leveling requirements anticipated in the plan are based on activities that were not undertaken. <br /> Current conditions do not warrant leveling and contouring except that necessary in the area of the <br /> development rock pad. There are no waste or overburden piles on the mine site. <br /> d) Re-Vegetation <br /> The 1978 reclamation plan includes a seed mix which is no longer recommended by the Division. <br /> Seed mixtures will need to be confirmed and approved by the DBMS this and that approval will <br /> be included as an element of reclamation. <br /> I <br /> Gold Eagle Mining Inc.
