Your email refers to working on a <br />Conversion Application. However, I believe that you are actually working on an Amendment to as <br />existing 110-Limited Impact Permit. If this is incorrect, please let us know as soon as possible. <br />In your email you Snake references to pte-law and/orpre-Gold Basin Mine permit disturbance asserting <br />that Gold Basin should not be responsrble for such disturbance. You mentioned that there should be some <br />type of record from our Division stating that the pte~mining disturbance is well known and docume~ed. It <br />is up to the operator to state and document what has been disturbed pre-law ar prior to permitting a sift. <br />Prior to approving the amendment application, the Division will determine whether to accept this <br />designation of pre-law or pra-permit disd>rbance. If such disturbance is not pre-law orpre-permit and less <br />occurred as a result of acti»ties 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 apre- <br />law area ordisturbs apre-pemrit area, then reclamation will be required. <br />Therefore, please define disturbance areas on the mine plan map of the amended and expanded permit area <br />that you assert are not your responsibility. The DMG will then check this map against our knowledge 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 />I B.
