Exhibit C—Rule&3.3.Mining Plan <br /> 2. Page 34 of the mining plan indicates a map of all groundwater wells is attached at <br /> the end of Exhibit C. However, it appears this map is located in Attachment Vat <br /> the end of the Exhibits. Please revise page 34 to correctly cite the location of this <br /> map within the application documents. <br /> Response: <br /> The correction has been made to page 34. We have attached a new page 34 for inclusion in <br /> your copies of the Application. We have also enclosed a revised page 34 to place in <br /> Attachment VI(Revisions to the Application). We will include a revised page 34 in our <br /> package to the Gilpin County,County Clerk. <br /> 3. Page 34 of the mining plan indicates the water from the Argo tunnel is worse than <br /> the leachate from the abandoned mine dump and page 35 indicates an analysis of <br /> the dump sample is located in an appendix. The Division could not locate this <br /> appendix. Please update page 35 to indicate which appendix the dump sample <br /> leachate analysis is located and please provide this analysis/information in a <br /> labeled attachment or appendix. <br /> Response: <br /> We have added Attachment VI. This Attachment contains the laboratory analyses <br /> (Addendum II) for the Robert Fulton Waste Dump. The Robert Fulton waste dump is <br /> typical of mine waste dumps in the mining district. We have revised page 35 stating where <br /> this information may be found. We will supply the requested information to the County <br /> Clerk as addressed in Question 2,above,and for all the following adequacy responses. <br /> 4. In accordance with Rule 6 3.3(1)(m),please describe the intended use of the <br /> primary and secondary commodities to be mined at the site. <br /> Response: <br /> We think the Question refers to Rule 6.3.3(1)(n)and not Rule 6.3.3(1)(m)as stated. We <br /> cannot specifically state what the use of these metals will be. They will be sold on the <br /> commercial market and may be used from jewelry to electronics to batteries. Pages 37 and <br /> 38 have been revised to indicate primary and secondary uses. <br /> Exhibit E—Rule 6.3.4.Reclamation Plan <br /> 5. Page 39 and 40, under section 6.3.4(1)(c)(i) discusses remediation of the growth <br /> medium once the waste material is removed. Please remove the alternative plan <br /> discussed on page 40, to leave the site sit for a few years to allow the exposed soils <br /> to leach. The Division will not accept this alternative plan. Please revise this <br />
