MMRR Quarry, M-2004-067 Response to June 30 Adequacy Review (as amended) August 19, 2005 Page 3 the access permit will be forwarded to the DMG as soon as available. All drawings depicting the access point (e.g., C-2A, C-2B, C-2C, C-2D, and F) have been revised and are enclosed for review purposes. RESPONSE TO ADEQUACY COMMENTS A detailed response to technical review comments is provided below, with reference to numerous other reports and site-specific studies. Where the Division's comments were revised by the letter dated August 2, 2005, the italicized text below reflects this latest version of the adequacy comments. 1. In conformance with Rule 1.4.1(a), please provide a revised Regular 112 Operation applicabbn form which lists the revised permitted acreage, affected land acreage, legal description, and primary mine entrance location based on the new site access location along Highway 119. As noted above, this submittal includes a technical revision to the mining plan, eliminating the new access point as located in the March 23, 2005 applicant materials. The access point included on the current plans is substantially similar to the location in the application of November 2004. An adjustment of the access road driveway centerline approximately 106 feet to the northwest is the result of detailed review of a new access permit by CDOT and Gilpin County's Road and Bridge Department. The current plan, including the access point, are consistent with all information and certifications provided by the applicant on the application form submitted in November 2004. Exhibit A -Legal Description 2. In conformance with Rule 6.4.1(1), please provide a revised Exhibit A -Legal Description for all proposed affected lands, including the revised site access location.

The driveway access location is, as noted in response to Item 1 above, effectively the same as the location initially proposed. This driveway location is described in latitude and longitude as lat. 39.76639 (deg) N, long. 105.41278 (deg) W.
