Map 3.02.2-2 Current Bond Release Status New Horizon #1 and #2 Mines is being requested for <br />removal. While the information on this map is mostly outdated and is not required by the Rules, this is <br />the only map in the current permit that shows the location of the remaining NHI acres. The Division <br />requests that this map remain in the permit until the NHI acres are removed through the bond release <br />process. <br />Response: The change of index sheet has been updated to reflect that the request to remove Map <br />3.02.2-2 has been deleted. <br />2. Map 3.02.2-10 Mount Nucla Out of Pit Stockpile is being requested for removal. The Division does <br />not have this map on file as being in the permit but does have Map 3.02.2-9 BB Detour Road Fill and <br />Topsoil Stockpiles. Both of these maps are no longer relevant because the structures no longer exist <br />and will be removed from the permit files. <br />Response: The change of index sheet has been updated to request that both Map 3.02.2-9 and 3.02.2- <br />10 be deleted from the PAP. <br />Also included with this adequacy response package is a change of index sheet to ease incorporation into the <br />permit document and materials revised in response to your adequacy comments. If you have any questions <br />regarding the enclosed adequacy review responses, please contact Tony Tennyson at (970) 824-1232 or <br />ttennyson (a)tristategt.orQ. <br />Environmental Services <br />DJC:JS:dbr <br />Enclosures <br />AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY/ AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER <br />A Touchstone Energy' Cooperative <br />Sincerely, <br />C. <br />Daniel J.
