will increase because of the extra time involved in removing these lengths of galvanized steel pipe. Inasmuch as the pipe is still the same two (2) inches in diameter, the volume of pipeline removed will be the same, but an additional two days could be required to remove this portion of the Pipeline. It will be located at the bottom end of the Pipeline, in an area that is fairly flat and is very close to the old mine access road that parallels the Pipeline. All of these features are very close to Lickskillet Road, so the removal of this lower section should be much easier than on the steeper sections of the Pipeline. The distance to the Western Disposal Yard in Boulder is no more than fifteen miles from the lowest point that a Flat Bed/Trailer would be loaded with pipe segments. The average round trip between the Gold Hill Mill Waterline and the disposal site would be less than thirty miles. Exhibit E—Man (Rule 6.3.5): 25) The operator's response to item no. 35 states the mining and reclamation plan maps have been revised so that the entire area of the Gold Hill Mill operation is depicted. However, only the revised map labeled E-4 - Surface Ownership and Permit Area shows the entire affected area. The revised map labeled E-1 —Mine Plan shows only the proposed permit area near the creek, and the revised map labeled E-3 —Reclamation Plan shows only the proposed permit area to add through this amendment application. Given the scale of the permit area, the separate maps submitted showing closer views of portions of the permit area are very helpful. However, please submit at least one mining plan map and one reclamation plan map that depict the entire affected area of the Gold Hill Mill operation. CMC Response: CMC is submitting a Revised E-1 Mine Plan Map to depict all of the permanent man-made structures near Left Hand Creek; a Revised E-2 Surface Ownership and Permit Area Map; a Revised E-3 Mine Reclamation Plan Map; a Revised E-4 Revised Surface Ownership and Permit Area Map; a new map E-5 of the Gold Hill Millsite; as well as a Floodplain Map of the area where the Pump Station will be located above the five-hundred year floodplain. Map E-1 now shows the location of the Power Line and the Power Poles and the location of the FEMA Flood Plain in relation to the permanent man-made structures in this location. Map E-2 shows the new location of the Pump Station and the fuel tank situated on the twelve foot Waterline Easement and the two (2) inch Pipeline up to the Times Mine portal that will be installed under the Mining Plan. Map E-3 shows the Pump Station and the fuel tank and the two (2) inch Pipeline that will be removed under the Reclamation Plan. Map E-4 has been revised to show all of the features from the Left Hand Creek to the Gold Hill Millsite and the property ownership adjacent to the Permit Area. Map E-5 shows the Gold Hill Millsite in relation to the Waterline as it enters the Times Mine portal. Maps E-3 and E-4 depict the entire affected area of the Gold Hill Mill operation. 26) The operator's response to item no. 36 states the mining plan map has been revised to show the location of any permanent man-made structures within 200 feet of the affected area; and that all structures can be correlated with the description provided in Exhibit B. However, the only revised map labeled Mine Plan is E-1, and this map only shows structures located in the area 13
