COLORADO <br />Division of Reclamation, <br />Mining and Safety <br />Department of Natural Resources <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />February 6, 2017 <br />Interoffice Memo <br />NewHorizon North Mine (Permit No. C-2010-089) <br />Renewal No. 1 (RN -01) <br />I have reviewed New Horizon North Mine's (NHN) PAP to ensure the following Rules have <br />been satisfied as part of the Renewal No. 1 review process. <br />Rule 2.05.3(3)(c) <br />Rule 2.05.3(3)(c) requires a description of each road, conveyor, or rail system to be constructed, <br />used or maintained within the proposed area. There are no conveyors or rail systems associated <br />to the NHN Mine and these sections of Rule 2.05.3(3)(c) do not apply. <br />Road discussions in NHN's PAP are broken into four sections — haul roads, access roads, light <br />use roads and count roads. Discussions for NHN's haul roads begin in Section 2.05.3(3), page 3, <br />access roads in Section 2.05.3(3), page 8, light use roads in Section 2.05.3(3), page 12, and <br />county roads in Section 2.05.3(3), page 13. Related maps and appendices are Map 2.05.3(3)-3 <br />and Appendix 2.05.3(4)-9. Please refer to Sections 4.03.1(1)-(5), 4.03.2(1)-(5) and 4.03.3(1)-(5) <br />of this review memo for additional details regarding roads. <br />One haul roads exist in NHN's PAP and associated certifications for each were located within <br />the PAP. Please refer to Map 2.05.3(3)-3. <br />Access roads are not required to be certified by a professional engineer unless alternatives to the <br />design criteria and specifications of Rules 4.03.2(3) are approved and utilized. Light use road <br />certifications are not a requirement of Rules 4.03.3. Rule 4.03.2(e), which allows for alternative <br />design criteria for access roads, is not applicable for the NHN Mine. <br />All topics and discussions required under Rule 2.05.3(3)(c) have been met in NHN's PAP. I <br />have no adequacy questions regarding the above mentioned Rule. <br />Rule 4.03.1(1)-(5) <br />Rules 4.03.1(1)-(5) deal with the performance requirements for haul roads. <br />OF COLO <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, CO 80203 P 303.866.3567 F 303.832.8106 http://mining. state. co. us I <br />John W.
