<br />Adequacy Review <br />Amendment Application <br />2 <br />August 28, 1998 <br />AM-01 <br />Permit No. M-78-107 <br />Acreage: DMG records indicate that current permit acreage is 12.9 acres. However, the <br />applicant has indicated 13.29 acres on the application form. Additionally, the application <br />form indicates that the amendment will increase the 13.29 acres (possible error) permit <br />area by 40.51 acres, for a proposed total permit area of 53.8 acres. <br />However, the Mining and Reclamation Maps--Exhibits C and F, and the legal description-- <br />Exhibit A, indicate a total permit area of 59.03 acres. Additional discrepancies exist in <br />acreage description between the text of the Mine Plan--Exhibit D, and the maps, as <br />illustrated in the following table. <br />Mining Phase Acreage on Maps Acreage in text <br />I 0.41 0.41 <br />II 7.76 8.25 <br />III 5.17 4.63 <br />IV 2.24 2.24 <br />V 5.05 5.05 <br />VI 2.41 2.41 <br />VII 1.29 1.29 <br />Undisturbed 34.70 lassumedl29.52 <br />Total Acreage 59.03 1app.torml 53.80 <br />If the acreage figures on the application form and described within the Mining Plan text are <br />correct, please clarify by submitting corrected maps and legal description to correlate with <br />the text, as required by Rule 6.4.4. If the acreage figures depicted on the maps and legal <br />description are correct, please clarify by submitting a corrected application form and Mine <br />Plan. Please correct the application form and maps to depict the existing permitted acres <br />as 12.9, as indicated by DMG records. <br />Roads: The Mine Plan--Exhibit D, describes an existing access road which passes <br />through Phases IV, V, VI and VII of the proposed expansion area and provides access to <br />the BLM and Ute Mountain Tribe lands. The Mine Plan indicates that portions of the pre- <br />existing access road, located within affected lands, will be impacted by the operation, but <br />that the operation will maintain access to the BLM and Ute Mountain Tribe lands. <br />Please clarify, within the Mine Plan and Map, how the applicant intends to maintain access <br />through out the life of mine. Please describe, within the Reclamation Plan, how the <br />impacted road will be reconstructed during reclamation of the affected areas. <br />
