Colorado Backhoe Service Page 4 <br /> The Orr Pit- M-2009-074 Adequacy response #1 <br /> January 10, 2018 <br /> 9. The Exhibit E Reclamation Plan states the working face will be limited to 200 feet, however the <br /> Exhibit D Mine Plan and Exhibit L Reclamation Costs both state the working will be limited to 400 <br /> feet. Please correct this discrepancy. <br /> This is my fault the 400 foot is the correct distance . I have <br /> corrected the reference in the Reclamation Plan text and am <br /> providing a copy of the revised page for the file. Complete <br /> copies of Exhibit E with the changes, is attached for the file. <br /> 10. The Exhibit E Reclamation Plan refers to a wildlife statement prepared by the Colorado Parks & <br /> Wildlife. Please provide this wildlife statement as it has not been included in CN-01 materials. <br /> I just flat forgot to forward you a copy when I received it on <br /> August 9, 2017 . A copy is attached for the file. <br /> 11. The Applicant proposes to stabilize the 20.51 acre "Farm Yard" area by graveling it. Please <br /> provide the type of gravel and thickness of gravel which will be placed on the area for reclamation. <br /> Please clarify if this material is currently located on-site and will be protected and reserved for <br /> reclamation throughout the life of mine. Please identify the location(s)of the reclamation gravel <br /> stockpile(s) on the Exhibit C Mine Plan Map. <br /> Currently 13 . 75 acre existing floor is gravel and has been <br /> used for many years this area was used as a Farm Yard, parking <br /> area and processing plant site. During this time it was <br /> covered with whatever material was left when past mining <br /> operations temporally ended. So our plan to "gravel it is <br /> consistent with this past uses . There is to growth medium on <br /> the area to use for seeding and if mining ended prematurely <br /> then only grading would be needed to return it to it current <br /> condition. <br /> We did not plan for any specific amount to be spread over <br /> the area only that a gravel base would be left over the <br /> bedrock so it would be usable as a parking area. This <br /> material will come from what is left during processing and <br /> stockpiling or could be pit run. None would need to be <br /> imported to complete grading of the final floor. No dedicated <br /> piles of material are kept on site since there is adequate <br /> material on site that this time to place a 2 to 3 inch cover <br /> over the 6 . 76 acres of new floor area that will be created as <br /> mining progresses . <br />
