Trapper Mine, Permit No. C1981010 <br />DRMS Review of TR 120 2017 Annual Reclamation Report Review Adequacy #2 <br />Dear Mr. Roberts: <br />The Division has completed its review of TR 120, the 2017 Annual Reclamation Report for Trapper Mine <br />submitted as a revision to Appendix W of the permit. The revision was received on 15 March 2018. The <br />report contains all the information required by Rule 2.04.13(1) and (2). A preliminary adequacy review was <br />completed by the Division in April 2018 and a response satisfying all adequacy questions was received from <br />Trapper Mine Inc. in June 2018. <br />The reclamation summary table; Table 1 Section 1, summarizes all reclamation activities achieved in 2017. <br />The report indicated that 27.5 acres in the L Pit area comprised new disturbance associated with <br />stripping in 2017. Backfilled, graded, topsoiled and seeded areas comprised 44.0 acres in Z pit. <br />Other seeded areas comprise the temporarily seded areas of 12.0 acres in Kimber pit and 5.0 acres in <br />non pit areas for a total of 17.0 acres. <br />Bond release inspections for a Phase I (175.3 acres), and Phase 11(376.1 acres), releases took place <br />29 and 30 August 2018 respectively. No decision has yet been issued due to acreage discrepancies <br />needed for the cost estimate calculation. Therefore, during 2017, Trapper received no bond release <br />approvals. <br />Rule 2.04.13(1:) <br />The name and address of the permittee is provided. <br />(a) The location and number of acres disturbed during 2017 are discussed in Section 1.2.1 in <br />Appendix W.
