Response: Approximately 200 tons may be stored in each bin. However, the operational plan is to <br />ship when the bin(s) contain approximately 25 tons. They may, on occasion, contain more than 25 tons, <br />but never more than 200 tons in each bin. The bins measure approximately 14' x15'in area and are <br />about 10' to 12' in height. The floor of the bins is concrete and the sides are timbered <br />b. "Please indicate what type of covering will be used on the bins." <br />Response: A simple waterproof synthetic or canvas tarp will cover each bin. <br />4. "Adequate." <br />5. a. "Please specify what type of ventilation will be used on the Franklin Shaft opening. If a fan <br />will be used, please specify what size and type of fan will be used and how mounted to the opening." <br />Response: There will be no surface mounted fan. Any fan or fans will be underground <br />b. "Otherwise the answer to question five is adequate with the understood proviso that the shaft <br />closures will be completed to applicable specifications contained in `General Bid Specifications of the <br />Colorado Inactive Mine Reclamation Program, 2006' or adequately bonded under the Notice of Intent <br />prior to any prospecting activity on site." <br />6. a. "If the site is proposed to be left as an industrial site, please indicate that such zoning exists on <br />the site at this time." <br />Response: The site is zoned "M" for mining. This is what the site will remain unless the County <br />chooses to amend its current landuse designation. The original response, "Industrial Site ", was <br />chosen as an aid to the Division in evaluating the reclamation plan. In fact, the NOI application form <br />does not require the prospector to declare a use for the land post prospecting. <br />b. "Please specify which areas will have vegetation established upon them on the map provided <br />and state how large the area is." <br />Response: Noted on the attached NOI map. All areas not having permanent structures, roads or <br />parking areas will be revegetated. The actual are revegetated will be less than an acre (14 acres). <br />However, COAG has based its reclamation bond for revegetation on one acre. This will ensure that the <br />Division has adequate bond for revegetation. <br />c. "Please indicate whether COAG will follow all the recommended NRCS methods specified on <br />the areas indicated." <br />Response: COAG will at least follow all NRCS recommendations. <br />d. "Under the last part of the answer to this question, it is stated `COAG is aware that no planting <br />is required on the following areas: a) On lands proposed for future mining. b) On any affected land so <br />long as the chemical and physical characteristics of the surface and immediately underlying materials <br />of such affected land are toxic, deficient in plant nutrients, or composed of sand, gravel and cannot <br />feasibly be remedied by chemical treatment, fertilization, replacement of overburden or like measures.'
