In Collom Rule 4, on page 21, the statement that Colowyo will not be mining on any slopes above 20 degrees should be revised. Overall, the slopes are well less than 20 degrees, but in the vicinity of Little The text should explain the difference between the overall Collom Gulch the slope is roughly 25 degrees. area and an “occasional steep slope” as discussed in Rule 4.27.2. In Volume 22, Map 20C Sheet 1 has some errors: the revision table does not indicate PR-04 ITEM 61. and the pit reference is “Collom Lite.” Map 20C Sheet 2 has been removed, but DRMS believes that it should remain to show sections ITEM 62.
