' Bob Oswald <br />Re: St. Jude Mine, Permit M-1978-039 Fl'R <br />Response to April 2003 Comments <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />Site Conditions <br />Buried Tanks Sizes: The two buried tanks in the mine yard have the following dimensions: <br />- northern tank is 16' long and 4' diameter, <br />- southern tank is 10' long and 3'8" diameter. <br />Building Floor Slab: The St. Jude Mine shop/dry/office is a 50' x 40' metal building. The floor <br />slab is generally 4 inches thick, although there may be areas of slightly thicker concrete due to <br />irregularities in the substrate during placement of concrete. The concrete slab is reinforced with <br />wire mesh, and occasionally minor amounts of trash steet were placed in the pour for additional <br />strength. <br />Powerline Ownership: The Operator has provided maps showing ownership ofpowerlines in the <br />local area of the Sunday group of mines. These maps are on file for the Sunday Mine, Permit M- <br />1978-285 and the West Sunday Mine, Permit M-1981-021. <br />Iu the vicinity of the St. Jude Mine, as shown on the I" = 100' site map, the powerlines are the <br />property of the Operator. <br />Topsoil Stockpile: After the I" = 100' site map was prepared (version now on file with the <br />Division), further site review was conducted. The original site map showed the location of a <br />small topsoil stockpile near the entrance to the mine yard. What had previously been shown on <br />the site map as a long bench along the south side of the mine yard in fact appears to be surficial <br />material that had been pushed up to form the long bench. The Operator proposes to add this <br />material to the topsoil inventory. The estimated volume of stockpiled material is 1,400 yd'. The <br />material is stable and secure from erosion as it lies against the existing hill slope. <br />Corrective Actions <br />The remaining Corrective Action of marking permit boundary corners in the field can be <br />completed upon approval of the proposed Technical Revision to modify the Pennit boundary. <br />Also following approval of the Technical Revision, the Operator will finalize the site reclamation <br />map. <br />Sincerely, <br />T~ U <br />Terry V.
