the unit is the Tertiary lithic tuff commonly referred to in the district as the Cripple Creek breccia.This is <br /> the same unit that is exposed in the Cresson Pit over by Victor. The project area is located within this <br /> lithic tuff unit, and all supporting data shows it to be grossly non-acid generating, non-base generating, <br /> and devoid of large concentrations of toxic metal compounds. Since low concentrations of the <br /> (Resource Conservation and Recovery Act(RCRA) metals exist in nearly every geologic unit on the <br /> planet, it might be possible to concentrate some together in Cripple Creek as it would everywhere else. <br /> While it is difficult to prove a negative for government agencies, no data has been produced from this <br /> site that shows otherwise. It is also doubtful that these conclusions will change if actual mining occurs <br /> sometime in the future. <br /> Specific Exhibit Requirements—110(2) Limited Impact Operations <br /> Comment 4a Exhibit A-Legal Description <br /> Response: <br /> See above discussion for comment 1 above. <br /> Comment 4b Exhibit B-Site Description—Adequate <br /> Response: <br /> No Response necessary. <br /> Comment 5 Exhibit C—Mining Plan-Temporary Structures <br /> Response: <br /> DRMS can call the structure whatever it wishes as long as the bond amount determined by DRMS is a <br /> reasonable number that matches engineering and industry cost standards. <br /> Comment 6a- Exhibit C—Paragraph 1(f) <br /> Response: The boundary of for MS 9672 is distinctly and correctly labeled. However, my review of the <br /> boundary of Coburn claim (MS9287)found that the line-work somehow got modified during printing of <br /> the maps. The change makes no difference to the permit,as both patented claims are owned by <br /> Minerex, and the updated map(Rev. 1) now shows the outline of the portion of the Coburn claim that <br /> was allowed to reach patent. This modification now shows the"shaft' as being located near the south <br /> corner of Mineral Survey Number 9672,with that particular area just happening to be within the Moose <br /> claim. The Moose is one of ten claims that went to patent under the same number. We made the <br /> 2 <br />
