831 �--
Dear Ms. Burt:
The Teller County Planning Department has completed its review of the Department of Reclamation,
Mining and Safety(DRMS)required Technical Revision(TR-83)that outlines Newmont's plan to
manage the haulage of crushed ore and agglomerated tailings to the SGVLF while minimizing any
potential environmental impacts.
I. Teller County understands that this requirement initiated from a June 16,2016 DRMS Inspection
Report that concluded that vehicular traffic for the SGVLF was not occurring over the liner
system leading to a potential for an off-liner incident. Additionally, it is understood that DRMS
directed a plan to ensure the haul road is over the liner system for haulage of crushed ore and
conglomerated tailings from the load out bin to the SGVLF.
2. Teller County understands that CC&V is presenting TR-72 as a DRMS precedent of approval of
spent ore traveling over unlined roads for a total distance of 9,200 feet and that when coupled
with a Spill Response Plan and a Decontamination Plan,CC&V is proposing that there will be
minimal risk to the environment and Teller County. Under this TR(TR-831 CC&V is proposing
to haul crushed ore and mil tails over approximately 6,600 of unlined haul road.
3. Teller County understands that each haul truck will move approximately 240 tons of dry crushed
ore from the load-out Bin(LOB)to the SGVLF. In addition,each haul truck will move
approximately 26 tons of mill tails with a moisture content of 16%and 0.22 free sodium cyanide.
4. Teller County also understands that CC&V proposes a Spill Response Plan and Decontamination
Plan similar to that proposed and approved for TR-72 as outlined in paragraph 2 above.
