significantly different that what was estimated in during the Permit Renewal No. 5 (RN5) estimate which <br />impacts the Job Superintendent hours and cost. It is likely the hours will need to be adjusted. <br />Upon further review of this task, it became clear the Mine Facilities section of the revised section 2.05.3 of <br />the permit may not be a complete and accurate list of structures that exist at the site or have existed at the <br />site utilized for the mine operation that have not been released from financial liability. Revised section <br />2.05.3 of the permit provides a list of facilities and structures at the site along with a narrative description <br />of the location, use and status of the facility. Many structures discussed in this section are not depicted <br />and /or labeled on Map 25 (Structures and Renewable Resources Map), listed on Table 56 (Existing <br />Structures) or accounted for /listed in the currently approved Exhibit 25 (Reclamation Bond). It is difficult <br />to make a direct comparison with permit section 2.053, Map 25, Table 56 and Exhibit 25 as it is possible <br />some structures are called different names or are assumed to be encompassed by another listed feature. <br />Enclosed is a spreadsheet I created that lists the structures cited in Mine Facilities portion of Section 2.05.3 <br />of the permit. For each structure, I indicated if I could identify the structure on Map 25, Table 56, the <br />currently approved Exhibit 25 and whether the structure is included in Task 001 of the DRMS cost <br />estimate. <br />The Division's reclamation cost estimate conducted for RN6 for Task 001 does not appear to have changed <br />significantly from the estimate provided during MT6 and RN5 and likely before these estimates. Some of <br />the structures listed in Task 001 of the Divisions estimate are not discussed in Mine Facilities section of the <br />permit, depicted and labeled on Map 25, listed on Table 56 or accounted for in the currently approved <br />Exhibit 25. Also many of the dimensions and measurements for the structures to be demolished in Task <br />001 appear to be different than what is currently listed for certain structures in the currently approved <br />Exhibit 25. As the Division's reclamation cost estimate variable /dimensions /quantities have not <br />significantly changed in many years for the structures included in Task 001, it is assumed that MCM has <br />reviewed these items. Similarly, some structures currently listed on Table 56 of the permit may not be <br />discussed or listed in the Mine Facilities section of the permit. The structures listed in Task 001 of the <br />estimate and listed on Table 56 that are not accounted for in the Mine facilities section of the permit need to <br />be accounted for. <br />Task 001; makes up the largest portion of the reclamation cost estimate and need to be accurate and <br />account for all the structures that have existed at the site used in conjunction with the mining operation that <br />have not been bond released. In order to account for these structures; the Mine Facilities discussion in <br />section 2.05.3 of the permit, Map 25 and Table 56 need to be consistent and complete. Please do the <br />following: <br />i) Update the mine facilities portion of Section 2.05.3 of the permit to list and discuss all of the structures <br />that exist and have existed at the site used in conjunction with the mine operation that have not been <br />bond released. This should include structures currently listed in Task 001 of the Division's reclamation <br />cost estimate and Table 56. Please provide a description of the structure, a discussion of the purpose of <br />the structure and it's current status. <br />ii) Update Map 25 to depict and label all of the structures and facilities listed in the updated Mine <br />Facilities portion of section 2.05.3 of the Permit. Please be sure to use the same name /label for each <br />structure on both documents. <br />iii) Update Table 56 to list all of the structures and facilities listed in the updated Mine Facilities portion of <br />section 2.05.3 of the Permit. Please be sure to use the same name /label for each structure on both <br />documents. <br />iv) With TR36, MCM indicated they wished to replace the current Exhibit 25 with the Division's <br />reclamation cost estimate worksheets from the estimate conducted for RN6. The current Exhibit 25 <br />contains an old estimate with information that may be pertinent to the reclamation cost estimate, such <br />
