We are planning to take no more than 12 vertical feet from the top of the embankment at any <br />one location; this will leave a minimum of 8 feet of embankment above the uppermost elevation of the tailings <br />within the fatality at any given point. Plans are to lower the embankment in select locations so as to provide a <br />reclaimed final embankment top configuration that is undulating for visual blending with the surrounding <br />topography. <br />As you will recall, the lower tailings fatality was permanently breached along the eastern margin of the <br />embankment in the eady 1990's. The proposed work will not alter the form and function of the permanent <br />breach or the embankment as part of the final Gosure and reclamation of the fatality. All disturbed areas will be <br />reseeded with species similar to those used in the past at the project. <br />Enclosed please find a check in the amount of $188.00 for the necessary TR filing fees associated with the <br />planned work. The work proposed in this TR will be completed in conjunction with the work outlined in TR-011 <br />filed with your office recently. <br />Thank you for your time and attention on this matter. If you have any questions, or require further information, <br />please contact me in the Albuquerque office or by cell phone - (505) 400-2794. <br />Sincerely yours, <br />H 0IMEBTAKE MINING C MPANY / <br />Alan D.
