TR -69 was received by the <br />Division on September 28, 2016 and was deemed complete on October 7, 2016. <br />SCC submitted TR -69 as a result of MR -82 requiring SCC to submit a hydrologic communication repair plan for <br />the properties of Mr. Fontanari and Mr. Carey. The Division has the following questions and/or comments: <br />Tab 1 — Table of Contents <br />1. On page vi, figure 14-6 has been omitted from the TOC at the top of the page.

An approximate timetable as to how long each step of the repair work will take to complete. <br />b. More detail as to the removal, storage and redistribution of topsoil, Rule 2.05.4(2)(d). <br />c. In section 2.05.4(2)(e)(iv) of the permit (page 14-16), it states that `all seeded areas will be <br />mulched with certified weed free grass hay or straw.' Please clarify if mulch will be applied to <br />this disturbance. If mulch will not be applied, please provide justification. <br />d. Describe the weed control measures that will be used on this disturbance or reference where they <br />can be found in the permit. <br />2. SCC is requesting that Rule 4.05.2(4) be applied to this disturbance. Rule 4.05.2(4) exempts certain <br />"disturbed areas" from needing sediment control, but SCC proposes sediment control measures in the <br />following section, Sediment Control. It seems SCC is requesting that this disturbance not be subject to <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, CO 80203 P 303.866.3567 F 303.832.8106 http://mining.state.co.us <br />John W.
