Our review indicates the NOI <br />application contains deficiencies as defined by Rule 5.1.3 of the Mineral Rules and Regulations <br />of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board for Hard Rock, Metal, and Designated Mining <br />Operations. The Division requires the information described below before we can approve the <br />NOI application. <br />1. The Applicant is proposing to re -open an existing Forest Service road. Please describe what <br />steps will be taken to re -open the road. In addition, the Applicant has identified a north and a <br />south access road. Please specify which access road will be utilized. <br />2. The Applicant has stated the access road will be reclaimed by installing water bars at regular <br />intervals. Please indicate if the proposed access routes currently have water bars. Also, <br />specify the interval at which the water bars will be placed and specify if the US Forest <br />Service will require the road to be revegetated as part of reclamation. <br />3. Exhibit B shows the proposed prospect pit is located to the west of the access road. Please <br />specify the distance between the proposed prospect pit and the access road. Also, confirm the <br />Applicant will need to create a road from the existing access road to the prospect pit. If so, <br />specify the dimensions of the road which will connect the prospect pit to the access road. <br />This information is required in order to calculate the financial warranty. <br />4. The Applicant has stated that approximately 4,600 cubic yards of material will be moved as <br />part of the proposed prospecting operation. The proposed pit dimensions are 300 ft. long by <br />100 ft. wide by 30 ft. deep. Using the proposed pit dimensions, the Division determined that <br />33,333 bank cubic yards of material may be moved if the pit is fully excavated. The Division <br />must calculate the required financial warranty based on the maximum disturbance of the site, <br />aF _c <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, CO 80203 P 303.866.3567 F 303.832.8106 htt / /minin state.co.us *l/ <br />P g• <br />John W.
