Approximate Post alining Topography depicts two large areas of <br /> restricted access, the East Cresson aline—.North Cresson aline and the .Main Cresson _Mine. Prior <br /> versions of'Drtnving F-1 submitted with M-12 and_-M-11 distinguished the areas within this <br /> restricted access area with cross hatching where no growth medium nor reclamation will occur and <br /> 41 solid color showing where the Applicant has previously committed to reclaiming accessible haul <br /> roads and pit,floors. Please revise the Exhibit F daps to show where revegetation will and will not <br /> occur within the restricted access areas. <br /> Newmont Response: <br /> Comment noted.

The Division believes there is an error in the depicted finul <br /> topography of the Alain Cresson aline. Previous versions of the Reclamation Plan clap, as approved <br /> in.4,11--11 and.4a1-12, show the northern and southern portions of the Alain Cresson us backfilled <br /> slopes and a backfillecl pit floor to 9,"60'. The A I--13 Reclamation Plan clap shows limited <br /> backfilling in the northern portion of the Alain Cresson and a pit floor with no buckfill at 8,990'. <br /> Please explain if the Applicant is now proposing to not buckfill the Alain Cresson as previoush, <br /> approvecl or submit revised maps which show the final proposed topography. <br /> Newmont Response: <br /> With CC&V's proposed expansion of ECOSA and tentative plans for underground operations, no backfill <br /> is planned within the main Cresson pit: with the exception of a small lift to level the pit floor to support <br /> underground exploration operations. Please see the revised drawings in Attachment 9. <br /> DRMS Comment(italics): <br /> 45. Facilities tit Final Reclamation.
