Please feel free to contact Janet Binns at 303-8664944 if you have any questions regarding her estimate. Adequacy Review The Division has conducted an adequacy review of the NOI Amendment in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Act and the Regulations. We have the following adequacy questions: I . Under the "Permittee" section of the NOI Amendment application form, both the "Individual's Name" and the "Company Name" were filled in. In accordance with the requirements of Regulation 2.02.2(2)(a), we prefer that only one of these blanks be filled in. Please therefore submit a revised NOI Amendment application page identifying which entity should be identified as the "Permittee". 2. In accordance with the requirements of Regulation 2.02.2(2)(b), please provide the name, address, and telephone number of the "representative who will be present at and responsible for conducting" the drilling, completing, logging, and reclamation of the six boreholes proposed under the NOI amendment. 3. It is stated on the first page of the June 18, 2007 cover letter that the Amendment to the NOI is for "...drilling and sampling of up to 5 additional coreholes...". However, the text of the Amendment application indicates that six boreholes are being proposed (BEHWOOI- BEHWO06). Please address this apparent discrepancy. 4. It is stated on the first page of the June 18, 2007 cover letter that "The proposed exploration program modifications involve completion, sampling, and geophysical logging of 5 additional coreholes (total of 38y'. However, the text of the Amendment application indicates that six boreholes are being proposed, rather than five as mentioned in the cover letter. Additionally; as the original NOI approved 33 boreholes, six new boreholes would raise the new total to 39. Please address. 5. Regarding the 33 boreholes approved under the original NOI, borehole BLM032 appears to be missing from the version of Table 1 submitted with the Amendment application. Please address. 6. In accordance with the requirements of Regulations 2.02.2(2)(f) and 4.21.4(3)(a), please modify the text of the NOI Amendment in the "Site Development, Exploration Access" section, to include the following statement: "Vehicular travel on other than established graded and surface roads will be limited to that absolutely necessary to conduct the exploration. Travel will be confined to graded and surfaced roads during periods when excessive damage to vegetation or rutting of the land surface could result."
