The decision date for this Technical <br /> Revision is June 3, 2016. The Division has reviewed the proposed revision and has the following <br /> comments: <br /> 1. The proposed revision to the mine phases affects the Mining and Reclamation Plans.

Within the permit area, the Operator is <br /> authorized to affect 136.80 acres of land. Please depict the total area of affected land(current <br /> disturbance and future disturbance) on a revised Mining Plan Map or on a separate map. In <br /> addition, the Division requests that the Operator select a line coloring which contrasts with <br /> the background of the map so that the individual phases and affected areas may be easily <br /> visible on the revised map(s). <br /> 3. The Operator has shown the proposed changes to the affected area in Table 1 Revised New <br /> Disturbance Area. Please provide an accounting of the affected area for the gold operation <br /> which accounts for currently disturbed areas as well as any areas which will be disturbed in <br /> the future.
