conservative when you consider that in its history Trapper has never had all ponds full at the same time. <br />In fact, some ponds have never held water. <br />24 December DRMS: Trappers response is adequate. <br />On Map13A sheet 3 DRMS notes the Wyman 6 inch natural gas line crossing into <br />the permit. This line has not previously been depicted on TMI maps. <br />4. Please address this situation. <br />Trapper Response: Map 13A. There was no need to show the gas line until Trapper's permit boundary <br />was extended into the PR7 expansion area. In addition, according to Moffat County, the gas line is outside <br />of its right-of-way and should have been located to the east of Knez Divide Road rather than within our <br />permit boundary. We were not made aware of its location until Tri-State G&T was in the process of <br />rerouting a powerline in the PR7 expansion area during 2017. <br />24 December DRMS: Trappers response is adequate. <br />Rule: 2.04.6 Geolociy Description <br />It does not appear that all permit stipulations have been complied with for mining <br />of the eastern expansion area. Stipulations 21 and 22 are still listed as Future <br />status. Not all aspects of these stipulation have been provided to DRMS. <br />As part of Stipulation 22, in relation to the geology in the eastern expansion area: (c) <br />A geology description that updates Sections 2.7.2 and 2.7.3 of the Trapper Mine <br />permit application package with the information required by Rule 2.04.6(2)(a) and <br />(b). <br />Within the PR8 review, TMI stated that: <br />"Trapper is not requesting to mine the PR -7 area with this revision. The <br />operator states that additional geologic information will be provided as a <br />revision at the time the mining plan is submitted. A study of overburden <br />characteristics has been conducted, and a new section added for the <br />Overburden Geochemistry of the PR7 Expansion Area. Corehole data is <br />provided and a map included. " <br />PR 9 does not include additions to geologic information as stated in the stipulation <br />above. <br />5. Please update Sections 2.7.2 and 2.7.3 of the Trapper Mine permit <br />application package with the information required by Rule 2.04.6(2)(a) <br />and (b). <br />Trapper Response to Comment 5: Trapper is not requesting to mine coal within the PR -7 Permit <br />Expansion Area. We are only requesting limited surface disturbance to lay highwalls back, to slope <br />reclaimed highwalls and, to potentially construct coal and overburden haulage roads. Trapper currently <br />does not have the rights to mine east of the Federal Lease C-079641 boundary. Trapper reviewed the <br />geologic information that was included in section 2.7.2, Overburden Characteristics. This information was <br />updated and approved with the PR -8 baseline submittal. Section 2.7.3, Coal Characteristics, was also <br />Trapper PR9 2"`' Adequacy Prepared by: R. Reilley, LISP, M.S. Page 4 <br />Date: December 2018 <br />
