NEWMONT <br /> GOLDCORR <br /> reclamation. Please provide a written commitment to terminate the test cell and <br /> begin reclamation within two years of DRMS approval of TR-113. <br /> As discussed with DRMS representatives, CC&V commits to <br /> discontinue use of the study cell two years from the approval date of <br /> this TR. At that time, all ore will be removed from the study cell and <br /> placed in the location on Valley Leach Facility (VLF) 1 location <br /> detailed in Figure 5 in CC&V's Preliminary Adequacy Review <br /> Response. The ore will be loaded into and relocated by a haul truck. <br /> The study cell liner will be closed as described in CC&V's response <br /> to DRMS Comment 7, below. If CC&V identifies the need to continue <br /> use of the study cell beyond two years of the approval date, a <br /> subsequent TR will be submitted to DRMS for approval. <br /> 7) Financial Warranty: The response is not adequate. The response requires <br /> clarification as to where the liner will be disposed versus where the ore will be <br /> moved to. Please be aware the DRMS is concerned with the large amounts of <br /> liner being disposed of on the VLF interfering with the effectiveness of rinsing the <br /> VLF has currently approved in the reclamation plan. As such, we will not allow <br /> the test cell liner to be disposed of or buried on the VLF. We require haul <br /> distances for both liner disposal and ore relocation. <br /> The ore from the study cell will be removed as described in CC&V's <br /> response to DRMS comment 6, above. The liner will be removed from <br /> the VLF facility in a manner consistent with DRMS Hard Rock Rules <br /> and Federal Waste Regulations prior to closure of the VLF 1. <br /> 8) Figure 2: The response is not adequate. The response indicates the volume of <br /> the berm surrounding the test cell is not included in the test cell ore volume <br /> discussed in Comment #7. Please provide specific reclamation plans for the test <br /> cell berm, including volume and haul or push distances. <br /> The total weight of the cell berm, which is outside of the lined study <br /> cell, is approximately 2,000 tons. When the study cell is reclaimed, <br /> the berm material will be incorporated into the rest of the overall VLF <br /> and sloped in accordance with the 2.5:1 reclamation slope. <br /> Additional Comment <br /> 9) Memo EG19-08: The third bullet under Section 1.0 Test Cell Layout states: "...in <br /> the case of failure, everything would be contained within the confines of VLF-1 as <br />
