Page 2.05 -4 has been revised to clarify the statement on <br />"grandfathered" rights, and MCM's intent re: potential future mining. Page 2.05- <br />16 has been revised to clarify approvals for postmining retention of roads, and <br />reference both Maps 29 and 29a.

Revised page 2.05 -16 indicates that MCM will provide <br />documentation from the State of their concurrence with permanent <br />retention of these roads. According to this paragraph, the roads intended <br />to be left in place are primarily located on lands owned by MCM or State <br />land but not exclusively. Please revise this statement to indicate the prior <br />to seeking bond release, documentation for road retention required by <br />Rule 4.03.1(1)(f) and 4.03.2(1)(g) will be submitted to the Division and <br />included in the permit through a revision.

Either add the <br />currently approved information to the revised map or keep the currently approved map <br />and add the proposed revised map to the permit under a different title and designation <br />(Map 29a for example). <br />2) On the currently approved Reclamation Plan Map; Map 29 it is difficult to determine <br />which areas will be reclaimed to the following post mine land uses: Rangeland/Wildlife, <br />Cropland and Pasture Land. On the revised map discussed on the previous item, clearly <br />delineate which portions of the affected area will be reclaimed to the designated post <br />mine land use. <br />3) Revised Page 2.05 -31.2 discusses reclamation of the Utah Tract. The currently approved <br />narrative for this section discusses the post -mine land use and seed mixture to be used for <br />
