iii iiiiiiiiiiiii iii <br />999 <br />Response to Comments dated January 14, 1997 <br />P&M revi sed various sections of the permit application package to reflect the change in <br />mining plans and current status of operations. After reviewing those revisions, we have <br />the follox~ing comments. <br />a. Page 1.0-5 -Under Historic Resources Management, it appears that the end of <br />p~~ the sentence was deleted. <br />~\ Page 1.0-5 has been revised to correct the appazent error. <br />b. ,`I Pnge 1.0-6 -Under Land Management, pastureland has been added to the <br />1` description of how the land will be managed. Pastureland is not an approved <br />postmining land use, and so should not be included. <br />Page 1.0-6 has been revised to delete the reference to pastureland. <br />c. Pnge 3. /-2 -Under Mine Reserves and Production, P&M states that the Moffat <br />~~~ Area was the only remaining area to be mined. This insinuates that the West <br />Ridge area was not mined under P&M's permanent program permit. Please <br />revise the text to clarify what mining took place. <br />Sf;ction 3.1.2.1, Mine Reserves and Production, provides a discussion of present <br />azid future mine reserves and production. This section has been revised to indicate <br />that no additional mining will occur at the Edna Mine. <br />d. Page 3.4-1 still includes a present tense discussion of an extension which was <br />gt•anted for backf:lling and grading. This should either be changed to past tense <br />N ~ or removed, since it is no longer current. <br />"~\ ~ <br />Paige 3.4-1 has been revised deleting the discussion regazding the extension for <br />backfilling and grading. <br />e. , On page 3.4-3, P&M commits to submitting data from the proposed MofJ~at area <br />~~jQf,\~^V/ stability monitoring with the erosion inventory report. The Division would ask <br />n(, 4 ~( that P&M consider submitting this information with the annual hydrology report, <br />`V~ ~ {~ so that any movement reported could be readily compared with the information <br />Y 1 ,~ on water levels in the Moffat area ptezometers. <br />p*~ The reporting commitment to provide Moffat azea stability monitoring has been <br />\~ revised to indicated that it will be submitted in the Annual Hydrology Report. <br />o~< <br />
