Trapper Mine; TR115 <br />Page 4 <br /> <br />Trapper Response: Table 3.1-3 has been revised and included. <br /> <br />DRMS Response: Table 3.1-3 was discussed with Jared Ebert when additional discrepencies <br />were noted in the draft table, please update table as discussed. <br /> <br /> <br />4.1. Table 3.1-3 will need to be revised to show the projected reclamation in 2016 and <br />2017. It was agreed to by TMI and the Division that Table 3.1-3 should be revised <br />to show what reclamation was completed in 2013, 2014 and 2015 and to project <br />what will be backfilled and graded in 2016 and 2017. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />5. Please evaluate the topsoil balance for the KLM pit and demonstrate in detail if the cost <br />estimate shown on Table A-10.6 is still adequate. Or, if necessary, please update this table <br />with a new cost associated with topsoil replacement of the KLM pit. <br /> <br />Trapper’s Response: TMI provided a demonstration that the number of acres originally <br />bonded for in the KLM pit would need to be increased with the approval of TR115 and <br />provided an estimate of the additional acres to be bonded as well as cost estimate for the <br />activity. A copy of Table A-10.6 was provided in the cover letter but Trapper did not submit <br />an updated table for Appendix A. <br /> <br />DRMS Response: Jared Ebert reviewed Trappers calculation and have discussed it with <br />Graham Roberts with TMI. Trapper estimated 154 additional acres would need to be bonded <br />for topsoil replacement. Upon review of Trapper’s estimate, I believe this is a conservative <br />estimate that makes up for the decreased amount of topsoil replacement in 2015 from what <br />was projected. <br /> <br />Given this, the estimated the cost to re-apply topsoil to 154 acres will be $269,744.00. See <br />the attached CIRCES sheets for details. <br /> <br />5.1. Please submit a revised table A-10.6 and A-9.1 for Appendix A. <br /> <br /> <br />6. It appears the KLM pit disturbed area is increasing in size as a result of TR115. The <br />reclamation cost estimate Table A-11.1 in Appendix A, shows a cost for reclaiming 490.3 <br />acres for the KLM pit. Please update this table to account for the increase in acreage of the <br />KLM pit. <br />
