Response: The enclosed "Report on Site Conditions" describes the features included in the Permit. The nearby pre-Law vent hole is described in the enclosed report. Other pre-Law vent holes in the general vicinity are described in the Sunday Mine information package submitted by the Operator on February 6, 2003. Pre-Law Features on Man: The old mining features in the northwest corner of the Permit area may be removed from the map, but can be left if it makes the picture clearer. Response: The Old Carnation Portal is located on the new map submitted herewith. It is not specifically identified as "pre-Law" on the map; this distinction can be added if the Division requests. Waste Rock Dump Desienations: The brown hachured areas on the draft map are assumed to be waste rock dumps. Response: The new map submitted herewith has a clearly labeled Legend identifying map features. Reclamation Maps: The Reclamation Map to be submitted by the Operator must depict those features which will remain on site; features which are to be removed should not be shown on the Reclamation Map. Response: No comment. Affected Area Outline: The disturbed area shown on the draft map exceeds the polygon of the affected area. The affected area was never marked in the field, and boundary exceedances were not previously known. It is not known if these areas were affected under a previous operator. The affected area boundary should be reconfigured to include all disturbances outside of the original Permit boundary. A revised map showing a "proposed boundary configuration" must be provided for an area of the same acreage. Response: The Operator was unaware that past mining-related disturbances exceeded the boundary of the original Permit Affected Area shown on the 1979 map. The current Operator has not expanded the disturbed area beyond the area that was disturbed by previous operators under the Permit. The Operator is submitting a "Proposed Affected Area" boundary on the attached map. The Proposed Affected Area is 9.76 acre; the original permit area was reported as 9.78 acres. The Proposed Affected Area includes areas disturbed under modern mining operations; historical mining areas are outside the Proposed Affected Area. The Proposed Affected Area has been configured to not only encompass disturbed areas, but also to include all area that will be included in the reclamation plan for this Permit. The pre-existing exceedances of the original Permit boundary all fall within valid mining claims controlled by the Operator. The Operator has the right of ingress and egress to all of the area shown within and adjoining the Proposed Affected Area boundary. 4
