March 22, 2016 <br />Lucas West <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />Re: Technical Revision Request, M-1984-039, Toltec No. 2 <br />Mr. West <br />I am requesting a Technical Revision of the mining and reclamation plans for the approved permit listed <br />above to satisfy the requirements of the Board Order signed on March 3, 2016. Please find the <br />descriptions and enclosed maps for the information that is to be revised. <br />Exhibit B- Mining Plan <br />For more efficient transport of ore materials offsite, a Jaw Crusher will be used to crush ore to 2" or <br />smaller pieces. The crusher is a mobile unit that requires no permanent structure. No water or other <br />chemicals will be used in the crushing process to prevent the possibility of any Acid Rock Drainage. <br />Crushing will be intermittent and on a small scale, requiring no water for dust mitigation. <br />The crushed material will be loaded into five gallon buckets for transport offsite. No support equipment <br />will be required. The Jaw crusher will be removed from the site at the conclusion of each mining season <br />and stored securely, offsite. Mining will not proceed underground, only minimal surface disturbance. <br />Exhibit E- Reclamation Plan <br />The disturbed areas will be reclaimed to support a post mining land use of pastureland, and match the <br />surrounding undisturbed areas. The waste Rock pile as identified on the attached map, will be pushed <br />back against the rock face and graded to match surrounding rock outcroppings. The salvaged topsoil will <br />be spread over the disturbed area, approximately .1 acres and reseeded with the attached seed mix. <br />Also please see the table below for seeding method, mulching and seed bed preparation. As stated in <br />the original permit the access roads will be left on the property. <br />Task <br />Method/product <br />Area/ Amount <br />Seed bed preparation <br />Hand raking <br />.1 acre <br />Seeding *seed mix and rates <br />below* <br />Broadcast <br />.1 acre <br />Fertilizer <br />Generic, granular, 10-34-0 or <br />similar <br />.1 acre <br />Mulching <br />Straw mulch, hand crimped <br />2000 lbs/acre <br />
