Your email refers to working on a <br />Conversion Application. However, I believe that you are actually working on an Amendment to an <br />existing 110-Limited Tmpaet Permit. If tlris is incorrect, please let us lrnow as soon as possible. <br />Tn your email you .make references to pre-law and/or pre-Gold Basin Mice permit disturbance asserting <br />that Gold Basin should not be msponslbke for such disturbance. Xou mentioned that there should be some <br />type of record from our 1ivision stating that the pre-mining disturbance is well lmowr and documented. II <br />is up to the operator to state and doclm2eat what has been disturbed pre~law ar prior to permitting a site. <br />Prior to approving the amendment applicatioq the Division vln'll determine whether to accept this <br />designation ofpre-law or pre-penait dispabance. If such disturbance is not pre-law as pne-peLatit and has <br />occurred as a result of activities conducted under Permit M-1992-045, the operator is required to reclaim <br />such disturbance according to the agreed upon reclamation plan. 1n addition, if the operator distuibs a pr77- <br />law area ordisturbs apre-permit acre, then reclamation will be required. <br />Therefore, please define disturbance areas on tfie mine plan-map ofthe amended and expanded permit area- <br />tbat yon assert are not your responsibility. The DMG will then check this map against our Imowledge of <br />the site and existing Division records. <br />If you have any questions or need further assistance, please write or contact me at 303-866-3863. <br />ly <br />,`1~~ <br />1 B.
