• <br />Gold Hill Mill 4 March 27, 1995 <br />7. The General Description section of item 9 on the application form <br />specifies that the distance and direction from the nearest town be <br />provided. You have only provided the distance; please provide a corrected <br />form. <br />8. Since you will be providing a new form, please supply up-dated permit <br />contact information under item 10 on the form. <br />9. Under item 11 on the application form, Primary future (Post-mining) <br />land use, you have checked-off "Forestry". The forestry land-use <br />designation is typically reserved for sites where the potential for <br />commercial timber extraction may exist, which would not be the case at the <br />Gold Hill Mill site, particularly given the specifics of the proposed <br />reclamation plan. Since the proposed reclamation plan intends to <br />establish "enhanced suitability for wildlife habitation", you would more <br />appropriately check-off "Wildlife Habitat". Please provide a corrected <br />form. <br />10. It is the Division's understanding that as landowner and permittee, <br />COM, Inc. would like the mill building to remain as a permanent feature <br />following reclamation. The Division is amenable to this, but obviously <br />a designated post-mining land-use of wildlife habitat would not be <br />appropriate for the portion of the permit area where the mill building and <br />any ancillary parking area are located. This portion of the permit area <br />should be outlined on the Reclamation Plan map and labelled with a post- <br />mining land-use of "Industrial/Commercial", or possibly "Residential". <br />11. Under item 12 on the application form, you have checked-off Forestry <br />as the primary present land use. Since the permit area is largely <br />disturbed already, you would more appropriately check-off <br />"Industrial/Commercial". Please provide a corrected form. <br />12. In the application submittal it is indicated that the White Cloud and <br />Wynona dumps will be used to provide borrow material to improve the <br />tailing embankment. In a subsequent adequacy response you have indicated <br />that these dumps will not be used, however a .25 acre area on the Wynona <br />Dump that has already been affected will be reclaimed. Siryce the White <br />Cloud and Wynona dumps are not going to be used as borrow sources, COM, <br />Inc. will have to delineate borrow areas that will be used for raising the <br />tailing impoundment and constructing the required capillary barrier for <br />reclamation. Topsoil salvage potential from proposed borrow areas will <br />have to be specified. The borrow material will also have to be <br />appropriately characterized, which will be further discussed below. <br />13. The various submittals to this application that deal with Exhibit A - <br />Legal Description and Location Map - are somewhat confusing and do not <br />meet the minimum requirements of the Mineral Rules and Regulations. <br />Including a list of claims that comprise the White Cloud and Wynona group <br />tends to confuse the issue since not all of these claims will be included <br />in the permit area. Also, COM, Inc has yet to demonstrate legal right to <br />
