The primary purpose for this Technical <br />Revision is to make minor modifications to the boundary of the Affected Area (i.e. the Permit <br />boundary) to fully encompass all Permit-related disturbances. The proposed total acreage to be <br />included under the Permit will not be increased and will be maintained at less than 10 acres, as <br />stipulated for 110 (2) permits. <br />In conjunction with this Technical Revision request, the Operator is also proposing minor <br />clarifications in the reclamation plan for the Permit. <br />Back round <br />The Operator received the Permit under a Succession of Operator transfer in 1997. The Operator <br />conducted operations at the Carnation Mine during the period of November 1997 to June 1999. <br />The Carnation Mine has been on suspended operations status since June 1999. <br />The historical site maps received by the Operator do not fully reflect existing site conditions and <br />have not been updated for many years. Therefore, this Technical Revision is being requested to <br />make minor changes in the Permit boundary to accurately depict site conditions. <br />Boundary Chancre <br />The Operator proposes to adjust the boundary of the Permit at the Carnation Mine. Review of <br />the existing Permit boundary determined that areas of past mine-related disturbance have <br />occurred slightly outside the existing Pennit boundary. These disturbances occurred under <br />operations conducted by previous operators. The disturbances occurring outside the Permit <br />boundary are minor, and changes to the Permit boundary, as requested herein, are small <br />refinements to completely encompass these past disturbances. <br />The Carnation Mine Permit and the Sunday Mine Permit (Permit M-1977-285} are close to each <br />other along their common east/west sides. The boundary change requested herein will result in <br />
