Response: Natural drainage from Trudy's Comer is controlled by an existing natural vegetative filter, downgradient from the subject area. In order w document the adequacy of existing drainage controls, TCC has completed appropriate hydrologic design analyses (SEDCAD). New or revised sections of the PAP reflecting the drainage analyses (SAE/ABCs) accompany these responses as a component of the above referenced Technical Revision. 5) Retietvarxl mrmi a rnern~i' ~outdatcrl ar ~ ~soiptiazs in thePAP with r~ard to haul roads (July 12, 2004 InspaTiaa~.

New or revised sections of the PAP reflecting revised or updated roads discussions accompany these responses as a separate Technical Revision. We have revised the PAP text discussions, and mapped designations of individual haul roads on the Mine Surface Facilities Map (Map 24), to reflect current road configuration and use. A package of existing PAP design documentation for individual haul roads accompanies these responses for reference. Where current road configuration varies from previous design information, we are in the process of revising and reconciling road profiles and cross-secnons and will provide this documentation within two weeks following this submittal. 6) Reuervard ra~igreate l ~aeuuter and dazarauaaicn in the PAP far tlx Disposal A mu 1 Irrl7awxbiau and ~ Wash Plarn Thial?a~r Irr~tt (trdzr~rg a c~oiptiaz g~ use or gc~utiar (Nore~rlxi' 20041rtsjztziarf .

Response: The subject water bodies have existed for many years and were not previously identified or considered as "impoundments° under the regulatory definition. As a result of recent changes in regulatory interpretation, the GDMG has determined that these water bodies fall under the broad definition of "impoundments" and should be identified and regulated as such. Therefore, TCC has reviewed and revised or updated, as appropriate, the PAP discussions relating to impoundments to include the two identified water bodies. New or revised sections of the PAP reflecting the revised or updated impoundment discussions accompany these responses as a separate Technical Revision. We are in the process of developing maps, stage-storage information, and spillway/discharge information reflecting the crurent configuration of these two water storage areas and cross-checking this information re; the applicable regulatory requirements for impoundments (Ku1e 4.05.9). Given that these water storage facilities have existed for a number of years and were not originally designed or constructed as impoundments, some additional effort is required to correlate current configuration and operation to the regulatory requirements.

TCC has reseeded this area and completed minor maintenance of the associated drainage structures.
