there other drill holes that have not been mined through that are not listed in this table? If <br />so, please provide details for all open drill holes. <br />16. Map 2.04.6-1A shows hundreds of exploration drill hole sites, and it is not at all clear <br />which holes were drilled under permit C-81-008, as opposed to exploration permits. <br />Please revise this map to indicate which holes were approved and drilled under the permit <br />for the New Horizon Mine, and either differentiate the information on exploration permit <br />drill holes, or provide that information on a separate map. <br />17. Please provide volume information for each topsoil stockpile on site, so that an accurate <br />cost estimate for topsoil replacement can be generated. The "old" 1996 PAP shows four <br />topsoil stockpiles totaling 113,600 cubic yazds, and there does not appeaz to be any <br />additional information elsewhere in the permit. <br />18. Please provide a typical cross section for the open mining pit -including how many spoil <br />piles are typically ungraded behind the active pit. <br />19. Map 2.05.3(3)-2 shows that the tum slot will be left in place for the life of operation. Is <br />this pit still open? If so, please provide details of the current length, width, and depth of <br />the pit, and where backfilling material for this pit is currently located. Please also update <br />the permit application to reflect current conditions. <br />20, The permit text (page 2.05.3-1) states that each mining panel will approach 2,400 feet <br />long. Map 2.05.3(3)-1 shows pits as long as 2,900 feet. Please revise the text to <br />coincide with the maps, or clarify the map to show actual pit length. <br />21. The permit text also states (page 2.05.3-1) that panel width will vary from 120' to 260' <br />wide. For cost estimating purposes, a maximum open pit width needs to be provided. <br />Please verify the maximum pit width, and revise the permit text if necessazy. <br />22. The currently approved permit application includes a reclamation cost estimate generated <br />by the Division. One of the reclamation tasks is to "haul fill from borrow area to pits". <br />Where is the borrow area for the pits, and will borrow material be necessary for <br />reclamation in the event that mining would cease during this permit term? <br />23. The permit text (page 2.05.3-4) mentions the need for telephone and power lines to be <br />replaced after mining and reclamation. Please provide additional detail on length and <br />location of replacement utility lines. <br />24. The text (page 2.05.3(3)-31 includes a brief description of structures on site, but does not <br />include the height of any of the listed buildings. Please provide a length, width, and <br />height dimension for each building, as well as material type and dimensions of <br />foundations, footers, or base slabs of buildings. <br />25. Maps of the permit show a pallet storage in the facilities azea. Please provide details on <br />this and any other storage areas (approximate volume and type of materials stored). <br />New Horizon Mine -8- November 23, 2005 <br />
