"I� <br />NEWMONT <br />GOLDCORP. <br />2 AFFECTED LANDS AND GEOLOGY <br />2.1 Affected Lands <br />The affected lands boundary for the mine site, and all adjacent land owners are shown in Exhibit <br />C on Drawing C-1. The affected lands boundary, adjacent land owners, and permanent manmade <br />structures are shown in Exhibit C on Drawing C-1 and Drawing C-1 a. The affected lands boundary <br />that was approved as part of Amendment 12 will not change as a result of Amendment 13. The <br />total affected lands for Amendment 13 constitute 6007 acres, including the Carlton Tunnel area. <br />Prior to Amendment 11, Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company (CC&V) maintained two <br />boundaries for the Cresson Project; 1) the permit boundary, and 2) the affected lands boundary. <br />As part of Amendment 11, CC&V changed the affected lands boundary to be coincident with the <br />permit boundary, creating one "affected lands boundary" for the project. This action was done to <br />avoid confusion over which areas are permitted to be disturbed. The affected lands boundary is <br />shown on the drawings provided in Exhibits C, G, and F. <br />The existing mine facilities present within the affected lands boundary are shown on Drawing C- <br />2 and Drawing C -2a, and the existing utilities at the mine are shown on Drawing C -2b, all of which <br />are provided in Exhibit C. Mining facilities, buildings and utilities proposed for construction within <br />the affected lands under this amendment are shown on Drawing C-3. <br />As previously mentioned, the affected lands boundary for the mine site will not change under <br />Amendment 13; however, portions of the existing affected lands will change disturbance <br />categories (i.e., mine areas, OSAs, and VLFs). Disturbance categories under Amendment 13 are <br />shown on Drawing C -4a. To accommodate the changes, growth medium storage areas (i.e., soil <br />stockpile locations) within the affected lands boundary are being modified. The current growth <br />medium storage areas are shown on Drawing C -4b. As described in TR -15, as approved by <br />DRMS on September 25, 2019, changes to non -process facilities with minor effects to the <br />financial warranty calculation, including but not limited to movement of topsoil stockpiles, and the <br />subsequent changes in reclamation accounting will be submitted as letter notifications to DRMS, <br />rather than as Technical Revisions. Otherwise, growth medium will continue to be managed in <br />accordance with Hard Rock Rule (Rule) 3.1.9 and other relevant requirements within the Rule(s). <br />Mining and reclamation activities will change the features of the affected lands over time as mining <br />activities are implemented under this amendment.
