RECEIVED <br />Nevedaville Encore LLC MAR 10 2010 <br />P. O. Box 1442 DMSIM <br />Central City, Colorado jY <br />(303) - 681 -1111 <br />March 10, 2015 <br />Michael A. Cunningham <br />Colorado Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />RE: Iron & Wm. Richardson Lode Claims; DRMS File No. M- 2014 -006; Preliminary Adequacy <br />Review No. 2 <br />Dear Mr. Cunningham, <br />Pursuant to your letter of March 3, 2015 the following is submitted to respond to the <br />requirements of said letter. <br />1) In re your ¶1. Attached are copies of correspondence with the BLM showing <br />notification, and response to the proposed mining and reclamation operation by the BLM. <br />6.3.3 Exhibit C — Mining Plan <br />2) In re your ¶2 the Mining Plan does include dust suppression. Nevadaville Encore <br />will obtain water for dust suppression, as required, from Central City, Colorado. Central City has <br />a facility to load trucks to provide water, for activities such as dust suppression, near the Central <br />City Parkway overpass and the R.V. Park south of town off Virginia Canyon Road, the same <br />main road that accesses the mine site. <br />6.3.4 Exhibit D — Reclamation Plan <br />3) In re your ¶3 the Reclamation Plan has been amended to state that 1 %2 -2 %s" of <br />biocompost will be placed over the area to be reclaimed. This amendment is based on <br />conversation with the U.S.D.A. botanist for Colorado who stated that due to the use of native <br />species in the seed mix it would not be advisable to introduce too much organics into the seed <br />bed as the native species are not tolerant of excess nitrogen from excess organic material. As a <br />result of this amendment the amount of biocompost to be imported is correct in the original <br />calculation. <br />4) In re your ¶4 the Reclamation Plan has been amended to add a statement that: <br />"The maximum grade anticipated after regarding is 25 %, i.e., 4H:1 V. No reclaimed slope will <br />exceed a slope of 3H:1 V." This amendment is based on an inspection by Mr. Danio that from the <br />indications available the original grade appears to be no steeper than 4H;1 V; but, allows for <br />some leeway in the final grading not exceeding a slope of 3H:1 V as required by the regulation. <br />
