Mike Boulay -2- August 19, 2008 situation at the time of original writing in the early 1980's, but the situation subsequently changed, and limited surface drilling has been conducted in a number of locations, for various purposes. The Division typically requests updates to permit narrative over the course of mine life, as warranted to maintain an accurate description of current operations and operational history. Language implying that drilling has not been planned or conducted in the permit area is inaccurate and should be updated. Please provide amended narrative with appropriate clarification, to replace the statement that "no surface borings or drill hole programs are planned within the permit area..." CAM: Text on page 2-2 has been updated to incorporate holes drilled in the recent past. 4. Item Resolved. 5. Item Resolved. 6. DRMS: The Division requested submittal of a revised Affected and Disturbed Areas Map (Figure 2.2-1), incorporating TR-16 proposed disturbed area boundary, and current underground workings "affected area to date" and "future affected area". An amended Figure 2.2-1 was submitted as requested. We have noted a couple concerns with the map. First, in various locations the stream channels of McClane Creek and East Salt Creek, depicted by blue dashed line, do not correspond to the valley thalweg indicated by the contour lines (a remnant problem from the current version of the map). Second, the McClane Canyon permit boundary line was not included on the amended version of the map. Please provide and amended version of Figure 2.2-1, with the apparent stream channel location errors corrected, and the permit boundary line included. CAM: Please see amended Figure 2.2-1 with the stream channel locations corrected and with the permit boundary included. 7. through 10. Items Resolved. Rule 2.05.3(3)(c) Description of Roads, Conveyors, or Rail Systems 11. Item Resolved. 12. Item Resolved.
