• On January 8, 2015, the Division sent Trapper a letter regarding archeological resource <br />site 5MF948. Trapper's permit Section 2.9 and Appendix K indicate the site is located <br />in Section 8 of Township 5 North, Range 90 West of the 6th principal meridian and is <br />outside of the permit area. Permit map M45 depicts this site to be located in Section <br />8 outside of the permit area. The Division conducted an inspection of the site on <br />December 10, 2014. The Division collected a GPS point at the site and confirmed that <br />the site is located in Section 5 within the permit area. According to permit page 4-3a, <br />the site is 3,600 feet away of the closest proposed mining disturbance. Based on the <br />GPS point collected by the Division, the site will be about 700 feet from the mining <br />projected to occur in 2016 based on map M10a in permit. Given Trapper's current <br />mining plan, flyrock and airblasts will not likely affect site 5MF948. However, ground <br />vibration, if large enough, might affect the sandstone upon which the petroglyphs are <br />painted. The Division requested that Trapper submit a technical revision to update <br />the following information: <br />1.) Revise sections 2.9 and 4.1 of the permit to indicate the site is located within the <br />permit boundary. <br />2.) Revise permit section 2.9 to indicate the correct location of the site and to note <br />the error of the location cited in the cultural resource report included in Appendix <br />K for this site. <br />3.) Revise permit section 4.1 to indicate how far the site will be from the projected <br />mining disturbance. <br />4.) Evaluate whether the mining setback from the site is far enough away from <br />blasting, and given the expected sizes of the blasts, that the site won't be affected. <br />Once this is completed, please revise sections 2.9 and 4.1 of the permit to include <br />the results of this evaluation. In accordance with Rule 2.05.6(4), if additional <br />protective measures are found to be necessary, please discuss them in the revised <br />sections. <br />5.) Please update Map M45. <br />2.05.3 Operation Plan/Permit Area <br />2.05.3(4) <br />• The Division was unable to locate as -built drawings for the ponds listed below.
