RE: File No. M-2006-017; Jemadojin Sand Mine; Preliminary Adequacy Review

Dear Mr. Miclette:
The Division of Minerals and Geology has completed its review of your response to our
initial adequacy review. The majority of items were adequately addressed, however,
there are a few remaining items which will need some additional follow-up. Per your
request, the office has extended the decision date until May 23, 2006. This should be
adequate time to address the few remaining items as outlined below.
There aze three remaining issues that will require additional submittals, responses or time
to fully address.
1. The first is the pending Deazing Road agreement with the county in order to
comply with exhibit S. Per recent conversations, it appears that this
agreement is forthcoming. In the event it is not, the permit application
approval will be conditioned to require submittal of this agreement prior to
affecting any land within 200 feet of the road. If this occurs, a map must be
submitted cleazly indicating that no land will be affected within 200 feet of
this road until such agreement is reached.
2: The"second item is final submittal and approval of a permanent seed mix and a
temporary seed mix. The species and their respective percentages of the
overall mix that was submitted via e-mail by the NRCS aze acceptable to the
Division. The numbers of pure live seed will still need to be added and
formally submitted. Their recommendation with respect to the temporary
seed mix (using an annual to provide cover until permanent vegetation is
established) is also a good recommendation and should be included with the
response. Also, their temporary mix is acceptable to the Division.
3. The additional information provided with respect to the volumes of mined
materials and the breakdown into various components should be adequate to
complete a financial warranty calculation. This will be completed prior to the
decision date and sent out for your review.
