5) Increase the ore lift in phases I-IV of the valley leach facility from the current approved <br />height of 590 feet to 800 feet for a total of 110 million tons of additional ore and 250 million <br />tons of overburden. <br />6) Add an enrichment circuit to the ARD (approved under Amendment # 8 but never utilized), <br />that will allow an additional 14,900 gpm pumping capacity to the Valley Leach Facility. <br />7) Change the access road for the mine's fuel supply route from Arequa to the Iron Clad area. <br />8) Construct a new Geology building in the Ajax head frame area. <br />9) Re-locate the existing sub-station. <br />10) Incorporate Permit # M-1991-134 (The Cameron Project) into the Cresson permit area (M- <br />1980-244. <br />11) The total affected area permit acreage as proposed under this Amendment are as follows: 1) <br />1498 acres surface mine areas 2) 616 acres, overburden storage areas, 3) 514 acres valley leach <br />facility and 4) 15.4 acres Carlton Tunnel Discharge area, for a total of 4199 acres. The total <br />affected area includes major disturbances of 2,830.2 acres, ancillary disturbances of 1354.3 <br />acres, plus the 15.4 acres of disturbances at the Carlton Tunnel Discharge area. <br />I) Exhibit A- Legal Description - Rule 6.1. <br />This section is adequate as submitted. <br />II) Exhibit B-Index Map-Rule 6.4.2 <br />This section is adequate as submitted. <br />III) Exhibit C-Pre- Mining and Mining Plan Maps-Rule 6.4.3 <br />A. Has the operator identified all owners of records of adjacent lands in Drawing C-1? This <br />map does not have the description of the purple colored land owner along the North Side <br />of the permit area. In addition, please verify that all the colors depicted on the map <br />correlate to the colors listed on the map legend. <br />B. Drawing C-1a is labeled as permit boundary, adjacent land owners and permanent man- <br />made structures within 200 feet (within Victor city limits). Are there any man made <br />structures with in 200 feet of the City of Cripple Creek, other than the old mine structures? <br />Why is the tourist railroad track located within the permit area not noted as a structure in <br />drawing C-1? Does CC&V own the rail road trucks? Please explain. <br />C. Drawing C-4a, which is an aerial photograph of the permit area, has the permit boundary <br />and all the facilities inked in red, blue and yellow lines. However, there is no legend <br />explaining these different colored identifiers. It would help the reader if a legend such as <br />the one submitted in Amendment # 8 map labeled Permit Boundary was included. Please <br />submit this as requested. In addition the City of Victor is missing from this map. Please <br />include when the map is re-submitted. <br />D. On drawing C-5 (conceptual mining phases) the only alternative overburden storage area <br />expansion is expected to occur in the Squaw Gulch overburden storage area. What about <br />the East Cresson overburden storage area? <br />E. Please provide all the information on all the maps, including elevation & contour intervals <br />as submitted in Drawing F-1, labeled as Approximate Post Mining Topography Maps.
