exception of an open shaft due east of Poverty Gulch. As per the requirements of the <br /> WPP(Section 2.3 "Mine Area and Other Excavations or Disturbances'), additional <br /> surveys will be conducted prior to development in underground areas. <br /> 46. Section 5.1.5 of the Appendix 13 Baseline Technical Report for Soil and Biological Resources <br /> in Volume III provides information regarding the Mexican Spotted Owl,a federally and state <br /> listed threatened species.Arcadis states that CNHP data shows recorded occurrences to the <br /> south,east, and north of the Amendment I I Project area and that the USFWS has designated a <br /> critical habitat(SRM-C-Ia)in areas to the south,east,and northeast of the Amendment 11 <br /> Project area. Please provide more detailed information regarding the approximate location of <br /> the designated critical habitat of the Mexican Spotted Owl in relationship to the Cresson <br /> Project. <br /> RESPONSE. SO CFR 17 describes the critical habitat unit for the Mexican Spotted owl <br /> as steep sloped(greater than 40%slope), with canyons, rocky outcroppings, and mixed <br /> coniferous forests. This does not describe the terrain of the Amendment 11 area, and as <br /> shown in Attachment 6, the critical habitat units for the Mexican Spotted Owl are far <br /> removed from CC&V mining operations. Additionally, it is important to note that state, <br /> private, and military lands are not designated as critical habitat under SO CFR 17. <br /> Referring back to the Arcadis report: "Based on the limited size of observed foraging <br /> habitat patches and the distance from known critical habitat, Mexican spotted owls are <br /> not expected to occur in the Amendment 11 Project area." <br /> 6.4.9 EXHIBIT I—SOILS INFORMATION <br /> 47. Please explain the purpose for Amendment I 1 Survey Area 2 in the Baseline Technical Report <br /> for Soil and Biological Resources prepared by Arcadis as it is located outside of the proposed <br /> permit boundary. Please confirm that data collected in Survey Area 2 does not alter the <br /> conclusion/summary for information on Survey Area 1. <br /> RESPONSE. During the conceptual phase of Amendment 11, the original plan was to <br /> square off the permit boundary to include all of Section 16, which is entirely owned by <br /> Newmont. The area referred to as Survey Area 2 in the Arcadis Report includes the <br /> northeast corner of Section 16. After the Arcadis field work and reporting was <br /> completed, the decision was made to not expand the permit boundary in this area <br /> because doing so would require a rezoning of the CCMOD boundary. The information <br /> gathered by Arcadis and reported as Survey Area 2 is not relevant to Amendment 111 but <br /> is still useful information for planning purposes. Please refer to Survey Area 1 in the <br /> Arcadis Report for Amendment I activities. <br /> 6.4.12 EXHIBIT L—RECLAMATION COSTS <br /> 48. Based on the responses to this adequacy review,please summarize any changes that will have <br /> an impact on the Volume IV,Appendix I I Reclamation Cost Model and update the reclamation <br /> cost estimate. <br /> RESPONSE. The Reclamation Cost Estimate has been revised to include the changes <br /> that were noted in this Adequacy Review Document. The changes include the deletion of <br /> Providence Mine in all Tabs where those costs were included. Copies of the revised cost <br /> estimate is included in Attachment 1. <br /> Page 14 of 14 <br />
