Adequacy Item #44
KII Section 2.05.3, Page 7 (formerly page 6a)
CDRMS 8114117: I believe that you misinterpreted my previous intent for editing this page. Please re -write the
fourth paragraph as follows:
"A further discussion of topsoil salvage, protection, and stabilization at exploration drill pads (as well as
monitoring well pads) is contained in Sections 2.04.6 and 2.04.9. "
GCCE August 14, 2017:
King II 2.05.3 page 7, paragraph 4, has been revised as requested.
Adequacy Item #61
CDRMS 8114117: The King II Ditch Capacity table in Appendix 11 still has some values that do not match the
as -built details (Map King II -007B, last updated in December 2015). For example, the bottom width of the
lower portion of CWD-IA is 1.6 feet in the table but 1.0 feet in the details on the map. Also, there appears to be
a discrepancy for the depths for CWD-I C and ID. Please check all values and explain or revise.
GCCE August 14, 2017:
The Ditch Capacities table from Appendix 11 has been revised to match the
surveyed measurements of Map King II -007B and is included herein.
