pond must be included with the affected acreage. Please amend the affected

Rule 1.10 for procedures on submitting a technical revision or amendment.

Per our phone conversation on October 10, 2008 the recharge pond will remain in its
current location as it was accounted for and is within the mining permit
boundary/affected acreage.
