Response: In a memorandum dated January 30, 2014, Marcia Talvitie (former CDRMS lead <br />specialist for the Carbon Junction Mine) provided the acreages the Division wished to see <br />entered in the Annual Reclamation Reports. The Division is referred to her memorandum for a <br />reconciling of acreages at the Carbon Junction Mine. <br />Additionally, the Division is referred to CDRMS correspondence dated February 25, 2015 <br />wherein Marcia Talvitie of CDRMS indicates that a table identifying revised CDRMS calculated <br />acreages has been submitted and the issue "has been satisfactorily addressed." <br />E. DRMS Jan. 2016 A landowner letter regarding retention of the haul road is available in <br />Appendix 5-1. However, page 5-3 states that additional letters regarding retention of roads <br />are part of Appendix 5-1. DRMS did not locate letters specifically addressing retention of <br />other roads (access and light use roads, road to well B10 etc.) in appendix 5-1. <br />Please either: <br />Update Appendix 5-1 to include these letters, resubmitting the appendix as revised pages <br />Indicate where in the original permit these letters can be found and update page 5-3 of the <br />abridged permit to direct the reader to these letters. <br />Response: During the review of PRO1, Oakridge Energy submitted a letter (as the surface <br />landowner) identifying the surface features to be retained post -mining. This information was <br />also incorporated into Appendix 5-13 as part of PRO and depicted on Map 5-8. <br />F. DRMS Jan 2015 Map 5-1 is alluded to with regard to topsoil salvage and storage. This <br />map seems to show only the original permit boundary and section lines. <br />Please either: <br />Explain how Map 5-1 informs topsoil storage, salvage and road location as there is no <br />legend indicating what the features represent. <br />Resubmit Map 5-1 with legend labelling features <br />Change text in permit to remove this reference <br />Response: The reference to Map 5-1 was retained as part of the historical permit and mine <br />operations record at the requirement of the Division. The text and map relate the areas of topsoil <br />salvage during initial construction of the mine as well as the original haul road alignment to the <br />pit. As none of these observations regarding the map are relevant given the reclamation and <br />current status of the mine, and the original Division requirement for this text's retention, there is <br />no need to revise Map 5-1 or change the text. <br />G. DRMS Jan2016 Section 2.05.3 (3) of the abridged permit references Appendix 5.1 of the <br />original permit as the definitive information for haul road design. While cross section and <br />width and side slope information are presented in Appendix 5.1, information related to cut <br />and fill and culvert and ditch design referenced on page 5-3 of the abridged permit is <br />missing. Did you mean to cite an additional appendix for culvert and ditch design, possibly <br />Appendix 5-12 for example? <br />Please update page 5-3 of the abridged permit with the correct citation for ditch and <br />culvert designs criteria and submit as revised page. <br />31Pa4-e <br />
