Re: Last Chance Mine File No. M-2008-O1 10(2) Hard Rock/Metal Mining Reclamation Permit
Preliminary Adequacy Review (PAR).
Dear Mr. Carter:
The Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety has begun the review process for the above referenced mine.
The Preliminary Adequacy Review or PAR has found the following issues that need to be clarified or corrected:
1) Per Rule 6.2.1(2) (b) all maps shall be signed by the person who prepared them. Staff notes no
signatures are present on any of the supplied maps.
2) The Exhibit B Map should show the approximate location of storage units, mine support equipment,
possible fuel storage areas and any other structures on site associated with the mining activities.
3) Staff notes the detail for the stormwater containment pond. Please provide the engineering data to
support the structure is of sufficient size to withstand a 10 year event. DRMS requires that all ditches,
berms, settlement ponds, etc. be designed for the ten year maximum precipitation event with the
larger peak flow, whether that is a 6-hour or a 24-hr event.
4) Please include the vent hole raise required by MSHA on all maps and address closure within
reclamation plans.
5) Please include all vent hole access roads on reclamation maps and address them within the reclamation
plan.
6) The application states 8.83 acres of disturbance. Another document states 9.806. However, when one
adds up the acreage under the legal descriptions for Parcels A, B, C and D it comes out to 5.2 acres.
Please clarify and correct.
7) It is noted that there are power poles within and adjacent to the permit boundaries. These are considered
permanent man-made structures and must be listed per Rule 6.3.2(b) Please include in Exhibit L under
Rule 6.3.12.
8) Significant information has been supplied concerning surface water data. Please provide information on
groundwater per Rules 3.1.6 and 3.1.7. Data from historical mining, drilling and nearby sites may meet
these requirements.
9) Under the Plan, 6.3.3(i) if no groundwater is expected to be encountered please state so and reference
information from #8 above.
