5. OVERBURDEN SAMPLING <br />A. IN-PIT SAMPLING <br />Requirement <br />As outlined in the September 28, 1982 Colowvo Findings and <br />Proposed Decision to Approve Permit, File No. C-019-81, the <br />January 4, 1983 minor revision, the August 11, 1983 minor <br />revision and the February 26, 1990 minor revision, Colowyo <br />continues to sample overburden in-pit prior to mining. <br />Response <br />UY and LY truck/shovel lifts, Section 11 dragline <br />overburden and Section 16 dragline overburden continue to be <br />monitored during 1993. Analysis of this overburden monitoring <br />program conducted during 1993 showed consistent results with <br />previous years. <br />Data for the analysis of the overburden samples can be <br />found in Exhibit 12 and 13. Sample locations are plotted on <br />the 1993 Annual Reclamation Report Map found in Exhibit 15. <br />The data obtained from the analysis of the overburden <br />sampling indicates no unacceptable material. A Technical <br />Revision request for the discontinuance of the in-pit sampling <br />program was submitted to the Division on January 4, 1994 and <br />has not yet been approved. <br />B. REGRADED AREA SAMPLING <br />Requirement <br />As outlined in Exhibit 6, Geological Information, Item #4, <br />Overburden Sample Program of the Colowyo Permit, a regraded <br />overburden sampling program is required at a density of one <br />sample per five acres of regraded area. <br />• 8 <br />
