It is important <br />that you address these problems within the allotted time. <br />1. The Operator is permitted to segregate waste rock into high <br />sulfur and low sulfur units by combining waste from the four <br />adjacent blast holes (development drill holes) that define a <br />standard mining unit. Previous submittals do not identify <br />which blast holes belong to which standard mining unit. <br />Therefore, within 5 working days of receipt of this letter, <br />please identify the standard mining unit to which each set of <br />four blast holes belongs. <br />2. According to permit conditions and commitments, rock placed in <br />the Arequa Gulch waste rock storage area and the Squaw Gulch <br />waste rock storage area are to contain no more than 0.8 <br />percent sulfur. The Division is unable to verify whether this <br />condition has been adhered to or not. Your two previous <br />submittals of Leco sulfur data demonstrate the sulfur content <br />of waste rock in each blast hole before the waste rock was <br />removed. However, these data do not i dicate where the rock <br />~~~ surrounding each blast hole was placed Thus, we are unable <br />to verify whether the Arequa Gulch and Squaw Gulch waste rock <br />storage areas contain any standard mining un~t_ with greater <br />than 0.8 percent sulfur or not. Therefore, within 5 working <br />days from receipt of this letter, please provide verification <br />of the sulfur content of each standard mining unit, as placed <br />after it was blasted and removed. <br />3. According to permit conditions, waste rock having greater than <br />0.8 percent sulfur is to be underlain by neutralizing rock or <br />amended with lime. However, there is no verification that <br />this condition is being adhered to. Therefore, within 5 <br />working days from receipt of this letter, the Operator is to <br />verify that all standard mining units containing greater than <br />
