RESPONSE: We do not believe it possible to answer this question in the form put. The issue is much more complicated than this formulation of the question implies. How the information regazding the cause of the landslide pertains to current and future mining and reclamation operations at the Trapper Mine. RESPONSE: Because of the complexity of analyzing and delineating the cause and physical effect of the landslide, as suggested in our responses to the above, compounded by the difficult economic issues associated with the answer to this question, we do not believe we will be able to comment on the issues raised by your question for at least twelve to eighteen months. As stated above, however, Trapper intends to comply fully with its reclamation obligations regarding the area affected by the landslide. 2. The printouts of dewatering well data provided to Division personnel during the October 10- 12, 2006 Division inspection plot information from the date each well was drilled through the date of the landslide. Unfortunately, given the horizontal scale of these charts, the data points plot too close together to accurately discern water level behavior at discrete collection dates. Please resubmit these charts with dewatering well data over the period from just October 2005 to October 2006. RESPONSE: Trapper will provide this information to you no later than December 8, 2006. 3. Please enlazge the information provided on the "Geotechnical Monitoring Dewatering Wells" map for the dewatering wells in the G-dip and G-strike mining azeas. The font size used for the dewatering well labels on the map was so small as to make the label illegible. Please also provide information pertaining to the depth and screened interval for each well. RESPONSE: Trapper will provide this information to you no later than December 8, 2006. 4. Dewatering wells DW 2, DW 23, DW 24, DW 26, DW 27, DW 28, G1, and GP1 test were identified on the water level data plots provided to the Division during the October 10-12, 2006 Division inspection. We are, however, unable to locate these particulaz wells on the "Geotechnical Monitoring Dewatering Wells" map. Please resubmit this map with these wells located on this map. If any of these wells have been mined through or abandoned, please provide a description of the disposition of those wells. RESPONSE: Trapper will provide this information to you no later than December 8, 2006. During October 10-12, 2006 Division inspection, John Tinucci of Agapito Associates, who attended the inspection, stated to Division personnel that he had been conducting geologic monitoring at the Trapper Mine. Please discuss the type of monitoring that was Mr. Tinucci was conducting, the reason(s) for this monitoring, the duration of the monitoring, the 4
