Review 12 Construction
The Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety has begun the review process for the above referenced 112
amendment application. The project appears to be a straight forward request to permit a construction materials

2. EXHIBIT C - Pre-mining and Mine Plan Maps Map (Rule 6.4.3(e)): Please provide a revised
map(s) that includes Correstions/clarification for the following items:
• Identify the existing type of present vegetation covering the affected lands.
• Please clearly label the permit boundary and identify the proposed 3 mine Phases on both the
pre-mining and mine plan maps.
• All maps must be prepared and signed and dated by a registered land surveyor, professional
engineer, or other qualified person.
3. EXHIBIT D - Mining Plan (Rule 6.4.4): Please provide clarification for the following items:
• Specify the estimated size of areas to be worked at any one time;
• Name and describe the intended use of all incidental products to be mined/extracted by the
proposed operation.
• Describe any improvements necessary on existing roads and the specifications to be used in the
