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. In accordance with Rule 5.1.2(m), please certify that notice of the prospecting operation was <br />sent to the local Board of County Commissioners in the county where the proposed <br />prospecting activities occur. <br />2. The Applicant has indicated the total area to be disturbed is 0.5 acres. However, the <br />information provided to the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) through the Plan of Operations <br />(POO) indicates that 0.69 acres will be disturbed. Please clarify this discrepancy. <br />3. The Applicant has stated the pit dimensions will be 60'x 30' (0.04ac). Please specify how <br />the remainder of the affected area will be utilized (stockpiles, equipment storage, etc.). <br />4. The Applicant has indicated the existing access road will not be upgraded to gain access to <br />the prospecting location. Please specify if the USFS will require reclamation of the access <br />road. If so, specify how the road will be reclaimed. <br />5. The Applicant has identified the species of grasses to be planted during reclamation of the <br />site. However, the seeding rate was not specified. Please specify the seeding rate as pounds <br />of pure live seed per acre. <br />°�0 <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, CO 80203 P 303.866.3567 F 303.832.8106 http: / /mining.state.co.us I *e <br />John W.
