NEWMONT <br /> V e N'-•l.nr V'il1 1Li,„f 3'1. <br /> clearly identify the locution and size of area yet to he stripped of growth medium to account for <br /> this additional growth medium volume. <br /> Newmont Response: <br /> a. Drawing C-4b has been updated to label the stockpile as "1", and Table D-4 designates the same <br /> stockpile as"1' <br /> b. CC&V assumes that the Division is referring to stockpiles 32 and 33. Table D-4 has been updated <br /> to separate stockpiles 32 and 33 as distinct stockpiles. Drawing C-4b has been updated to indicate <br /> Stockpiles 32 and 33 as separate polygons. with volumes for each identified on the figure. <br /> c. Table D-4 has been updated to identify 14 total growth media stockpiles.A footnote has been added <br /> to Table D-4 indicating stockpiles that have been consolidated or used for reclamation purposes. <br /> d. As approved in TR-1 15, CC&V has provided updates to Growth Media Storage Areas Table(AM- <br /> 1 1 Table 5-4 or AM-13 Table D-4) to the Division on an annual basis as an attachment to the M- <br /> 1980-2 4-4 Permit Annual Report. Several of the discrepancies are noted in stockpiles that were <br /> established earl} in modern mine life(pre-2000). As site survey and data management technology <br /> has improved. some discrepancies have been corrected, as reflected in the 2018 Cresson Project <br /> Annual Report submission and the updated Table D-4 in Attachment 8. <br /> e. Table D-4 has been updated to identify accurate volume and status for each existing growth medium <br /> stockpile. A Supplemental "Figure 1" is provided with Attachment 8 to demonstrate how the <br /> volume for each growth medium stockpile is determined and/or verified. <br /> f A supplemental "Figure ?" is provided with Attachment 8 showing the areas of growth medium <br /> stripping required for mine development proposed in Amendment 13. Stockpile destinations and <br /> consolidation of existing growth media stockpiles may be determined by dynamic operational <br /> factors, including, but not limited to, available haulage routes, mine sequencing and development, <br /> and concurrent reclamation applications. When growth media stockpile construction or addition is <br /> required,CC&V will utilize procedures approved in TR-1 15 to notify the Division of such changes. <br /> DRMS Comment(italics): <br /> 29.
