The following maps are included: <br />1. Figure 1. "GENERAL LOCATION MAP", 1" = 300' <br />2. Figure 2. "SUNDAY MINE, ROADS AND VENT HOLES", 1" = 200' <br />3. Figure 3. "SUNDAY MINE", 1" = 100' <br />4. Figure 4. "GMG MINE", 1"= 100' <br />On September 19, 2002, the Operator submitted PRELIMINARY maps to the Division. This <br />was done solely to get feedback from the Division on the form and adequacy of the information <br />being presented on the new maps. Furthermore, a number of site maintenance and remediation <br />tasks have been undertaken in the past few months, and hence features on some of the <br />preliminary maps are not represented correctly. Therefore, the Operator requests that the <br />PRELIMINARY maps be returned to the Operator upon the Division's receipt of the maps <br />submitted herewith. Not only do the preliminary maps not have final and complete information, <br />but we also want to be careful to avoid confusion between various generations of maps (as has <br />frequently occurred in the past). <br />The Sunday Mine 112 Permit includes the Sunday Mine proper, the vent holes and related access <br />roads on the ridge to the south of the Sunday Mine site, and the GMG Mine site (as this was used <br />by the current Operator as a ventilation opening). Detail information has been collected during <br />new field surveys to prepare accurate and complete maps and to report on cunent site conditions. <br />hi the process of surveying the existing field conditions, a number of discrepancies and/or permit <br />omissions have been encountered. These discrepancies and omissions occurred under former <br />operators, and in fact in a number of cases, the Division was apparently not aware of the <br />existence of a number of mine-related features. As a consequence, historical records that detail <br />the size of various mine features are not completely accurate, and the related past calculations of <br />
