Re: Trapper Mining Inc., Permit No. C-81-010, Permit Revision No. 7 Stipulation No. 22
Dear Ms. Reilley:
Enclosed are two (2) copies of responses to Stipulation No. 22 of the Permit Revision 7 (PR -7)
approval. Following is a discussion of each item under Stipulation No. 22 with reference to the
revised permit document pages and new appendices which are attached to this letter. Also
included as part of this submittal is design information for ponds to be built within the PR -7
expansion area. We are submitting this package as Permit Revision No. 8 (PR -8).
The information discussed below and included as replacement pages for the permit document was
discussed with the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (CDRMS) verbally and
through past submittals in response to adequacy questions on the PR -7 application. A meeting
was held in April 2014 with Sandy Brown, Jared Ebert and various resource specialists to discuss
and reach agreement on the data needed and methodologies for data collection for the PR -7 Mine
Expansion Area. The data collection efforts described in the following discussions followed the
agreements reached during the April 2014 meeting. Subsequent submittals made in response to
CDRMS adequacy reviews also provided additional information for resource areas such as for
geology, land use and surface water. Data adequacy letters from Trapper Mining Inc. (TMI) dated
January 27, 2014, July 7, 2014, and November 4, 2014 and associated CDRMS responses include
resolution of a number of identified deficiencies. The remaining items were included as
Stipulation 22 to the PR -7 approval document.
Stipulation 22 reads:
Prior to disturbance within the 795.72 -acre PR7 permit expansion area, the permittee must
submit and receive approval of an application for a permit revision that contains the following
required information for this area:
a) A narrative of land capability and productivity before any mining in accordance with Rule
2.04.3(2)(b).
The land within the PR -7 expansion area and surrounding areas is undeveloped and unmanaged
land and is used primarily for rangeland and wildlife habitat. The land is privately owned and
there are no public lands or parks within or adjacent to the PR -7 Mine Expansion Area. There are
no lands within or adjacent to the PR -7 Mine Expansion Area associated with the National Parks
System, the National Wildlife Refuge System, the National System of Trails, the National
Wilderness Preservation System, the Wild and Scenic Rivers System, National Recreation Areas
and National Forests.
