Dear Mr. Danforth:
The Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety has begun the review process for the above referenced 110c

the proposed project has only a few minor clarifications and issues to address.
1) Please supply proof of publication as soon as possible per rule 1.6.2(1)(d).
2) In the Mine Plan please clarify in Exhibit A that only 9.11 acres will be the maximum disturbance.
3) Please state in the Mine Plan the estimated depth to which soil, suitable as plant growth medium, will be
salvaged for use in the reclamation process per rule 6.3.3(b).
4) Please state in the Mine Plan the thickness of overburden or quantity of waste rock, if any, to be removed to
reach the deposit per rule 6.3.3(c).
5) In the Mine Plan specify the thickness of the deposit to be mined per rule 6.3.3(d).
6) In the Mine Plan please specify the dimensions of any existing roads that require significant upgrades or
proposed roads that will be used for the mining operation per rule 6.3.3(g).
7) In the Reclamation Plan please explain how the seedbed will be prepared to eliminate compacted conditions
(e.g., plowed, chiseled, disced) per rule 6.3.4(c)(ii).
8) Please provide a product data sheet for "Regreen 404" as described in the in the seed mix. Also provide
application rate and cost per acre.
This is a preliminary review. Other issues may arise from other agency comments, a site inspection and as more
information is supplied. The decision date for this application has been set for December 28, 2007 provided all
issues have been addressed. If the requested information is not received by December 21, 2007 the applicant
should request an extension of the decision date.
