The Division letter identifies <br />nine issues requiring more information or text changes within the application <br />package: <br />1. The text for Section 2.05.2 and 2.05.3 has been reviewed and modified to <br />address all proposed new facilities in Section 2.05.3. <br />2. The use of "current permit term" has been deleted from text in Section <br />2.05.3. <br />3. Additional information regarding new facilities has been added to the text. <br />Figure 2-A has been added to identify the surface disturbance area for the <br />Apache Canyon Shafts and Map 11-A has been drafted to show the shaft <br />disturbance boundaries relative to the permit area. <br />4. West Portal reclamation is addressed in the existing approved permit text. <br />The sealing plan for the East Portal Airshaft submitted with permit <br />renewal (RN-5) application will also apply to the Apache Canyon and <br />West Portal Airshafts. <br />5. Proposed reclamation bond estimates for the West Portal airshaft and <br />slope entry and Apache Canyon Airshafts have already been submitted. <br />6. Discussion of proposed future mining activities has been removed from <br />Section 2.05.3. A statement committing to submittal of a Permit Revision <br />for a new mine plan can be found in Section 2.05.2 on page 2.05.2-3 of the <br />enclosed text. <br />7. Text and Maps have been reviewed, and where necessary, revised to <br />ensure consistency in naming facilities. <br />8. The annotations for Right and Left Forks of Apache Canyon have been <br />revised on Map 3
