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-115, 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.
