I ? <br /> <br />Permit No. M-1978-116 is a regular 112 permit covering the mining on the U.S. <br />Department of Energy lease tract, C-SM-18. The amendment to M-1978-116 was to <br />replace 5 acres of permitted land that had never been disturbed in section 22, T 47N, <br />R17W with equal acreage in the SW '/ section 27. This was to allow economical mining <br />of the southern part of the SM-181ease block by using the Wright Mine portal. The <br />amendment covers the Wright Mine portal and top of the pre-existing waste dump. Most <br />of the amendment was for a new waste dump location and vent holes. In contrast to <br />Permit No. M-1979-118, the outline of the permitted acreage of Permit M-1978-116 is <br />identified in the amendment and shown on the enclosed map. <br />The potential overlap of the two permits is limited to the top of the old Wright Mine <br />waste rock dump, the portal, and the ore bin, which combined is less than 0.2 acres. <br />Since the amendment of Permit No. M-1978-116 has a specified boundary for the acreage <br />covering the Wright Mine portal area and Permit No. M-1979-118 does not, Cotter <br />requests that the area inside the M-1978-116 permit affected acreage boundary not be <br />included as part of the 9.9 acres of the M-1979-118 permit (that is, not included as part of <br />the acreage listed in M-1979-118, Exhibit A, in the S1/2 section 27, T48N, R17W). <br />Respectfully~, /~.-~'y~p~ <br />'C <br />Dick White, Project Geologist <br />Cotter Corporation <br />
