Sherman <br />Executive Director <br />Ronald <br />DATE: November 5, 2008 W. Catt <br />Division Director <br />or <br />TO: Mike Boulay Natural Resource Trustee <br />FROM: Dan Mathews <br />RE: McClane Canyon Mining LC (MCM) <br />TR-16 Adequacy Response Review <br />McClane Canyon Mine (Permit No. C-1980-004) <br />I have reviewed the TR-16 adequacy responses submitted under cover letter of October <br />23, 2008. I specifically reviewed and commented on those items that originated from my <br />review initially. Let me know if you have any questions. <br />6. DRMS requested submittal of an amended Figure 2.2-1, to correct erroneous <br />McClane Creek stream channel locations depicted on the previously submitted <br />version of the figure. A properly amended map figure was provided. Item <br />Resolved. <br />36. The Division requested revised narrative in amended Section 3.2 to clarify <br />salvage operations and quantities conducted to date, as well as projected salvage <br />operations and quantities associated with TR-16, and to eliminate certain narrative <br />inconsistencies. <br />The item response in the 10/23/08 cover letter indicates that narrative changes <br />were made to pages 2-29, 3-7, and 3-8. Amended pages 2-29 and 3-7 were <br />provided in the submittal, but replacement page 3-8 was (apparently erroneously) <br />omitted. <br />Please provide the amended page 3-8, which was referenced but not <br />submitted. <br />Also, we note that topsoil presumably was previously salvaged from the footprint <br />and immediate vicinity of the existing construction material stockpile and <br />possibly from the footprint of the existing topsoil stockpile, but the extent of <br />previous salvage in these areas is not known with certainty. Please ensure that <br />any remnant in-place surface soil horizons in these locations, identified as <br />"topsoil" based on soil resource information included in the permit, are <br />office of Office of <br />Mined Land Reclamation Denver - Grand Junction • Durango Active and inactive Mines
