Kathy Welt <br />Page 3 <br />June 18, 2018 <br />Rule 2.10.1(1) requires that maps of the disturbed area be drawn at a scale of 1:6,000 or <br />larger. The map titled Proposed MVB's — PR -15 does not include a scale bar, and the title <br />box indicates a scale of "NTS" (presumably this stands for "not to scale") <br />Please update the map titled Proposed MVB's — PR -15, showing the scale on the map. <br />Rule 3.02.2 - Determination of Bond Amount <br />10. The Reclamation Cost Estimate (RCE) is currently being recalculated under RN -07. It is <br />anticipated that RN -07 will be approved during the course of the review of PR -15. A <br />separate RCE will be calculated for disturbances associated with PR -15. <br />It is anticipated that the PAP will be updated with RN -07 with tables detailing boreholes, <br />pads and associated roads. These tables will be an important reference for tasks in the <br />RCE, and should be updated with PR -15. Since the tables do not exist in the currently <br />approved PAP, this adequacy item should be considered a placeholder for the time <br />being. <br />No action is currently required. <br />The Division received a number of comments during the public comment period, which ended on June 1, <br />2018, all of which were passed on to MCC for informational purposes. The comments fall under several <br />different categories, but are perhaps best grouped under the heading "Failure to mitigate the impacts of <br />mining operations". The comments will be considered during the review process. <br />The proposed decision due date for PR -15 is August 3, 2018. <br />Yours sincerely, <br />Leigh Simmons <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />
