Box 187 <br />Craig, Colorado 81626 <br />Re: Mid-Term Review of Trapper Mine, Permit No. C-010-81 <br />Dear Mr. Humphries: <br />Attached is the Division's mid-term review and decision to require revisions <br />to the Trapper Mine, Permit No. C-010-81. The review was in fulfillment of <br />Rules 2.08.3, 2.06.2(9), 2.06.3(4), 2.06.5(3), 2.06.7(5), and 3.02.2(4). <br />The mid-term review primarily consisted of reviewing the permit application, <br />stipulation responses, revisions and any supplemental information, as well as <br />information from field inspections and past inspection reports. The main <br />purpose of the review was to identify any areas of the permit application that <br />will need to be revised or modified to ensure compliance and reflect the <br />current status of the mine. <br />The attached document contains our mid-term review, a rationale for requiring <br />any revisions to the application, timetables for submitting responses, a <br />summary of the status of stipulations, and the results of our performance bond <br />review. <br />Revisions were found to be needed under the categories of Legal, Financial, <br />and Compliance Information; Revegetation success criteria; and the Rill and <br />Gully Plan. <br />Several other areas of the permit application require clarification or <br />up-dating, but may or may not require revisions to the permit. These items <br />are discussed in Section I-B of the review. Categories discussed in this <br />section include Vegetation, Wildlife, Revegetation and formatting of the <br />Annual Hydrologic Report. <br />Most of these items pose no immediate environmental concerns, but may be <br />needed to clarify the mine plan, or to provide additional information. The <br />legal, financial and compliance section needs to be updated to reflect <br />ownership changes since the permit was issued. <br />423 Centennial Building, 1313 Sherman Street Denver, Colorado 80203 Tel.
