BERRY <br />I have reviewed Energy Fuels Mining Company's additional submittal for minor revision (MR-17) to <br />perform rill and Gully maintenance, contour furrow construction and inter-seeding, on a limited portion <br />of the reclaimed Raton Creek mine. <br />The Division called this application incomplete on November 12, 1999. The Division specified that in <br />order to call this revision complete, the Division needed EFMC to submit: <br />A. A map showing exactly where the work will be conducted. The map need provide representative, <br />relative locations of the contour furrows, relative [o the areas ofinter-seeding. <br />B. Strip seeding of a grass dominated seedmix. Cicer milkvetch should be eliminated from this inter- <br />seeding mix. <br />C. A plan for repair of existing rills between the contour furrows. <br />D. A plan to have the work completed by December 31, 1999. Extension of work into 2000 will <br />reinitiate the liability period as per Rule 3.02.3, which means the re-disturbed site would not be <br />eligible for final bond release until 2010. <br />E. If EFMC proposes to add fertilizer, the fertilizer rate needs to be defined. <br />On December 27, 1999, EFMC faxed a letter and three revised permit pages to the Division to address <br />the specified deficiencies. <br />A. Figure i, revised permit page 485a, was submitted to delineate the are~of the mine that the inter- <br />seeding and contour furrow work would occur. This figure addresses item A. of the incompleteness <br />letter. Due to the poor Fax quality, a clear copy of this figure needs to be submitted with the hard <br />copy of the revision. <br />B. EFMC submitted revised page 524. This page revises the "inter-seeding mixture". Although Cicer <br />milkvetch is not entirely eliminated from this seed-mix, it is reduced, along with Winterfat, so that <br />it will pose less competition to the establishment of perennial grass species. This revised page <br />addresses item B. <br />
