Is this correct or is it an error of <br />omission? If no disturbance is planned, why is it included in the permit area? <br />No mining activity or disturbance is planned for this area. As with other areas on the property <br />that are not planned to be mined or disturbed, this area was included in the permit area. The <br />property as a whole has been included in the permit area. <br />2) In accordance with Rule 6.43(b), please portray on Exhibit C- Map, the features listed in Rule 6.4.3(b) <br />not only on the area of affected land, but also within two hundred (200) feet of all boundaries of the area. <br />Please see the attached revised Exhibit C map which shows the additional information. <br />3) In accordance with Rule 6.4.30, show the owner's name, type of structures, and location of all significant <br />valuable, and permanent man-made structures contained on the area of affected land and within two <br />hundred (200) feet of the affected land <br />Please see the attached revised Exhibit C map which shows the additional information. <br />4) In accordance with Rule 6.4.3(e), please portray on Exhibit C- Map, the type of present vegetation <br />covering the affected lands. <br />Please see the attached revised Exhibit C map which shows the additional information. <br />Rule 6.4.4 Exhibit D - Mining Plan <br />1) In accordance with Rule 6.4.4(c), please provide information on anticipated water diversions and <br />impoundments in the expanded area. If no water diversions or impoundments are in the plan, please <br />provide a statement to that effect <br />The dewatering procedures (perimeter dewatering ditches, dewatering pond) and <br />sedimentation pond used in the current permitted area will be relocated to the expanded area <br />when mining there occurs. Other than groundwater that is exposed and dewatered during the <br />mining of the expanded area, no other water diversions are planned for the expanded area. A <br />sedimentation pond of approximately one half acre in size will be utilized in the expanded area <br />once the current pond is abandoned. No other water impoundment is planned for the <br />expanded area. <br />2) Regarding the production of gold as an incidental product (pg. 6), will there be gold processing facilities <br />on site? <br />There will be no gold processing facilities located on site. The material that contains <br />extractable gold is collected from the screening facility and removed from the site for <br />processing. <br />3) Rule 6.4.4(e) requires an approximate time table for mining. Applicant has provided an approximate <br />length of mining of each phase at 9 to 15 months, but has not provided an estimate of the starting date of <br />mining in the expanded area. <br />Depending on market conditions, NCCI anticipates that Phases 1 through 5 will be complete <br />by mid to late 2008. At that time they would proceed to Phase 6 of the mining, and onto the <br />expanded area, to begin mining activities there. <br />V 1400 W 122nd Avenue - Suite 120 • Westminster CO 80234 • Ph: 303-457-0735 • Fax: 303-920-0343
