Mr. John Walters - 2 - October 4, 1985
Salt Creek Mining Company provided an additional analysis of the surficial
material of the mine benches and submitted the results on revised Pages 4-64
and 4-64a of the permit application. The results indicated that the material
is suitable as a plant growth medium. Therefore, a selective handling plan
for isolation of unsuitable material is not required and Stipulation No. 5 is
considered resolved.
Stipulation No. 7
WITHIN SIXTY (60) DAYS OF PERMIT ISSUANCE, THE APPLICANT MUST REVISE
THE APPLICATION TO PROVIDE A STATEMENT THAT THE COMBINED McCLANE CANYON
MINE AND MUNGER CANYON MINE PRE-MINE DATA FOR PRODUCTIVITY FOR THE
GREASEWOOD SHRUBLAND, SHADSCALE SHRUBLAND, AND JUNIPER WOODLAND PLANT
COMMUNITIES WILL BE UTILIZED FOR THE DETERMINATION OF REVEGETATION
SUCCESS (PRODUCTIVITY COMPONENT) IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CRITERIA
ESTABLISHED UNDER RULE 4.15.8(B)(b).
Salt Creek Mining Company submitted a statement to this effect in revised
Section 3.4.9 of the permit application. Although the statement is in
connection with the annual revegetation monitoring plan, the Division
understands that this method will be utilized for final determination of
revegetation success upon termination of mining operations. Therefore,
Stipulation No. 7 is considered resolved.

SIXTY (60) DAYS OF PERMIT ISSUANCE, THE PERMITTEE SHALL EITHER REVISE
THE PERMIT APPLICATION TO COMMIT TO USE OF THIS STANDARD, OR COMMIT TO
USE OF AN ALTERNATE STANDARD AGREED UPON IN CONSULTATION WITH THE
DIVISION.
Salt Creek Mining Company has accepted the success standard as proposed by the
Division. A statement to this effect is provided on revised Pages 3-13 and
3-14 of the permit application. Stipulation No. 8, attached to Permit
No. C-004-80, is therefore considered resolved.
