M-2008-037; Clear Creek County; Adequacy Review 01 ci <br />Dear Mr. McHale: <br />The Division of Reclamation, Mining, & Safety (Division) has completed the first adequacy review <br />for the above referenced 110 mining application. Following the receipt of your request for extension <br />received August 20, 2008, a tentative decision date has been set for August 27, 2008. The date may <br />change if all adequacy issues have not been addressed at that time. As a result of this first adequacy <br />review, we need the following items or clarifications before a decision can be made on the <br />application. <br />Rule 6.3.1 Exhibit A - Legal Description and Location M D <br />1) The main entrance to the mine is not specifically indicated on Exhibit A. In accordance with <br />Rules. 6.3.1(2) and 6.3.1(3), please indicate where the main entrance to the mine will be <br />located, and show the primary access route from the nearest maintained public road. <br />2) There appears to be a small parcel of land immediately south-southeast of the shaft and <br />within the 200-foot radius that is not on patented ground and for which the ownership is not <br />indicated (please see shaded area on attached map). In accordance with Rule 6.3.1(3), please <br />provide the name of the owner(s) of this parcel of ground or indicate where in the <br />application the information can be found. <br />Rule 6.3.3 Exhibit C - Mining Plan <br />1) Applicant states that mining will commence around Sept. 1, 2008. In accordance with Rule <br />6.3.3(1)(a), please provide your best estimate of when mining will end. <br />2) Applicant states that all material removed from the mine will be removed from the site for <br />offsite processing. Does this also include sub-ore grade and waste rock as well? In the event <br />that access to the ore grade material requires removal of waste rock, will the material be <br />removed offsite with the ore? <br />Office of <br />Mined Land Reclamation Office <br />Denver Grand Junction Durango Active and Inactive Mines
