material can be used as fill elsewhere in the storage yard area below the road. A slight modification directly north of the road is necessary due to permanent retention of the road back into Ciruela and Apache canyons. Map 3, Final reclamation of the site, indicated only two areas of topsoil re-application, the development waste pile and the tipple/loadout area. The Division would like more details with regard to the additional areas that require reclamation and the topsoil resources available. For your information, the Division has identified the following topsoil resources at the site.

What are the specific plans, if presently known, for each of the above-listed topsoil piles? As I understand it, the south rail spur will be removed. Railroad ties and rail will be removed to the extent possible. The Division has no problem with burial of remaining or broken ties along this spur, assuming they are buried by 2-4 feet of material. Upon return to the office, I checked Division files with regard to approval of concrete disposal at the Golden Eagle portal slope area. We did receive a cover letter and cross- sections concerning concrete disposal at two locations at New Elk and the portal area at Golden Eagle. However, on July 24, 1996 I spoke to Bill Harbrecht about my review of this information. One of the numerous items I discussed with Bill was that the Division did not receive a formal application form for these revisions and also, that we needed individual applications for each site, as they are separate permits and need to be handled separately. He indicated at that time that the plans had changed, as Addington was prepared to succeed the New Elk permit, therefore no reclamation would be occurring any time soon at New Elk. The Division did not receive any additional revision requests or information that time, therefore, concrete disposal at the Golden Eagle mine is not approved at this time. I also checked the Division files for the engineering report for a proposed change in outslope at the Golden Eagle development waste pile. We have no record of receipt of this report, as a stand alone submittal or as a revision. If a proposed change in the outslope is desired, then you will need to submit this report and the appropriate permit pages as a technical revision to the permit.
