The Division has reviewed your 112 permit application and has the following comments.
I) Exhibits "A", "B" &"C" Adequate.
II) Exhibit "D" Mining Plan
A) Is the Special use permit Boundary delineated in all the maps submitted with the
application the same as the permit boundary to the DRMS PERMIT? If not please
explain the discrepancy?
B) The total phased acres add up to 164 acres. The permit application is for 180
acres. With the exception of a small area between area #2 and area # 10, all
areas delineated in blue as SUP areas are included. Please show the fourteen or
so acres that will either be used for staging, stockpiling etc, which will be
moderately disturbed with in the permit area for a total of 180 acres.
C) Under the Exhibit, you stated that "due to life of this mine, other types of
equipment not yet economical for gravel maybe employed in the future". Prior to
implementing other equipments such as conveyer systems that could up to the cost
of reclamation; the operator has to get written approval from DRMS.
D) Under 6.4.4 (a) you stated that "all earth moving, crappera, excavators,
draglines etc, etc will be utilized or could be utilized in extracting the
commodity from site". Unless the operator plans to mine below the water table,
the utilizing of drag lines for small operators are highly unlikely. Depth of
mining will not exceeded 18 feet, which is well above the ground water table in
the area. Are there future plane to mine below after table? Please explain.
E) Under the mining plan you stated that "Sulk storage fuel and small amount of
lubricants; will be stored on site in an earthen berm with an approved liner
around and below the storage containers. The earthen structure will have a
capacity of at least 1108. Please provide the details and location of these
storage areas in a simple sketch, where they will be placed in relation to the
phased areas.

area. Post mining land use is going to be range land. Noxious weed control in
place. Not much noxious weed noted during the site inspection on 2/28/07
