Response: Complete and accurate maps submitted herewith. Descriptions of all sites and facilities within and associated with this Permit are described herein. One Portal on Map: Map submitted by the Operator in April 1998 showed only one portal. Response: There are two portals within the Sunday Mine yard. The "Old Sunday Portal" was permanently closed by the Operator in November 2002. The map submitted herewith shows the location of the Old Sunday Portal, but this site was regraded after the current map survey was conducted. The site map submitted herewith (1" = 100') will be updated to show the minor changes associated with the portal closure, and a revised map will be submitted with a future Annual Report to the Division. GMG "New" site: The map submitted by the Operator in April 1998 did not show the GMG mine site and its inclusion under the Sunday Mine Permit. Response: Complete maps submitted herewith. Topsoil salvaged dun'ng operations: Although the original permit materials note that no topsoil was salvaged during PreLaw operations, the Division presumes that topsoil has been salvaged as the mine site expanded. The division requests that the Operator show the location of stockpiled topsoil and a calculation of the volume stockpiled. Response: The "footprint" of the Sunday Mine site has not expanded under operations conducted by the current Operator. To the best of the knowledge of this Operator, the only topsoil that was ever salvaged by past operators at this site is shown on the updated map submitted herewith. The estimated volume of topsoil in this pile is reported in the description provided herein. Show sediment and runoff control structures: Response: The new Sunday Mine map (1" = 100') shows sediment and runoff control structures.

The Operator is now submitting the information stipulated in the Corrective Action. The Operator appreciates the inspector's assistance and cooperation in granting the Operator time to complete the necessary work to address the Corrective Action. The Operator is only submitting mining maps at this time.
