Please provide a map made in accordance with Rule 2.10 that depicts the final location of the WCR Coreholes <br />and the location of any road that was cut to access the corehole sites. Please update the respective pages in <br />Section 2.05 of the permit to discuss the final locations of these coreholes and cite the location w here the new <br />map can be found. <br /> <br />Response: - As noted, a number of drillholes were permitted to delineate and characterize the Wolf Creek Reserve. <br />Most of the permitted drillholes were completed, however, there are some of the permitted drillholes which have <br />not yet been drilled, and there is still the possibility that some of them may be drilled in the future. Maps 24 and <br />29, show all mine-related disturbance, and have been reviewed and revised, as appropriate, to assure that they show <br />all drillholes and related disturbance. The related text has also been reviewed and revised, as appropriate for <br />consistency. The updated materials accompany these responses for replacement in the PAP. <br /> <br />Resolved <br /> <br />27. The Division could not locate permanent sealing/abandonment reports for the exploration coreholes for the <br />Western Mining District discussed on pages 2.05-17 to 17.3. Please provide abandonment reports for these <br />coreholes with the information required under Rule 4.07.3. <br /> <br />Response: - The referenced abandonment reports accompany these responses for insertion in the PAP. <br /> <br />Resolved <br /> <br />28. Please update page 2.05-11.1 to 11.2 to list the following mine openings: Compressor Building Boreholes <br />(1&2), WMD Stabilization Borehole, 15-Left Ventilation Shaft, 16-Left Utility Borehole, 5-Main North <br />Borehole, 10-East Emergency Air Borehole, 10-Right Monitoring Borehole, NMD Power Borehole. <br /> <br />Response: - The referenced listing has been reviewed and updated, as appropriate to include all current mine <br />openings. Note that the Compressor Building boreholes are included in the 6-Main North utility boreholes (7), the <br />WMD Stabilization Borehole is already listed as the 17-Left Cement Borehole, the 16-Left Borehole is already <br />listed, and the NMD Power Borehole is already listed as the Substation 11 Power -Drop Borehole. The updated <br />Permit text accompanies these responses for replacement in the PAP. <br /> <br />Resolved <br /> <br />29. The Division reviewed Section 2.05.3(3)(a)(b) of the permit. This Section contains an extensive list of the <br />surface facilities/projects at the site. Many of the surface facilities listed do not provide a clear description of <br />the location and simply cite that the facility/area is depicted on Map 24. The location of many of thes e <br />areas/structures need to be clarified so that they can be identified on Map 24 and the labels given on Map 24 <br />need to match the names provided in the Permit text. Updating each facility description with a location within <br />the text of this section of the Permit would require updating many pages. The Division believes a better <br />alternative would be to create a new table that lists each of the facilities listed in the permit section and a <br />description of the location of the facility. The location description should be at a minimum the ¼ section, <br />township and range of the facility or project area. Once this table has been created, it should be compared <br />with the Map 24 series maps to ensure each facility is depicted and labeled on the map. <br /> <br />Response: - The permit currently addresses the applicable regulatory requirement of identifying, locating, and <br />describing all mine facilities through the text description and referenced map(s). As indicated, the only shortcoming
