Dear Mr. Keffelew: As previously discussed with you, the Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company ("CC&V") requests permission to reuse and recycle Pad 3 leach materials based on the current and impending needs for materials with certain characteristics that are satisfied by the leach pad materials and the benign character of the material as documented by D.I. contact test data. Obviously it would benefit all, including the Office of Mined Land Reclamation and its reuse and reclamation policies and mandates, to reuse this material and thereby make the most of any materials that have been mined or used in the past. Use of the Pad 3 materials will be restricted to within the Cresson Project Permit Boundaries (Permit M-80-244) and used in a manner consistent with what is currently approved for the Pad 1 and 2 materials. These uses include the follows: 1) use as a road base on the existing and planned mine roads that will service the Cresson Project. As with Pads 1 and 2, the Pad 3 material is an excellent, well-sorted road base that will help to reduce tire wear and to control dust by providing a medium for incorporation of dust control materials and reducing the fines that are generated by the overburden currently in use. Again, the sediment controls are those that are an integral part of our permit and procedures, with runoff controlled by the diversions with which you are intimately familiar, supplemented by revegetation, road ditches, settling areas, and sediment barriers. Some of this road base material will become waste material or even ore as mining in the pit progresses.
