RE: Alma Placer Mine; DRMS File No. M-1985-029; Technical Revision No. 11;
Adequacy Review No. 1
On June 1 2016, High Mountain Mining Co, LLC. received the Division's adequacy review of
TR-11 of the Alma Placer Mine DRMS permit. The following is an item by item response to
each of the Division's concerns.
1. The proposed revision to the mine phases affects the Mining and Reclamation Plans.
Please submit revised copies of the Mining and Reclamation Plan Maps which reflect
the proposed changes. All maps must conform to the mapping criteria specified in Rule
6.2.1(2).
The attached Map C-2 and F-1 show the mining and reclamation plans as they are affected by
this technical revision.
2. The Alma Placer mine is permitted for 216.10 acres. Within the permit area, the
Operator is authorized to affect 136.80 acres of land. Please depict the total area of
affected land(current disturbance and future disturbance) on a revised Mining Plan
Map or on a separate map. In addition, the Division requests that the Operator select a
line coloring which contrasts with the background of the map so that the individual
phases and affected areas may be easily visible on the revised map(s).
According to the approved permit, as of Amendment 5, the total area to be reclaimed, and thus
is disturbed, is 138.1 acres. This area is delineated on Map C-2. Map C-2 also shows the
current disturbance limit as of 2016.
3. The Operator has shown the proposed changes to the affected area in Table JRevised
New Disturbance Area. Please provide an accounting of the affected area for the gold
operation which accounts for currently disturbed areas as well as any areas which will
be disturbed in the future. The Operator may include an updated Gold Placer
Disturbed Area Description table, which was previously submitted under Amendment
No. 5.
