reminded that if such offsite impacts from toxic-forming materials do occur, the mine pool may by definition <br />be considered an EPF and subject to management and containment. If further discussion or studies indicate <br />that additional sampling or other activity must be performed, it may be required under a separate revision to <br />the permit. At this time, recognizing the complexity that this issue presents and the need for additional time <br />to examine and discuss it, and possibly include it in the current amendment, the Division is extending the <br />review period by 60 days (pursuant to Hard Rock/Metals Rule 1.4.1(7)). <br />Post-mining use of the site. Denison defines future use of the site as "non-motorized recreation." It is <br />unclear if this is a BLM land use designation or if this name stated herein is provided in a framework for the <br />reclamation plan under the DRMS permit. Non-motorized use, however, seems questionable to this office <br />because old mine sites are very popular with ATV users. Will there be an attempt made to restrict access to <br />ATV and other motorized recreationists in the post-mining condition? Is this future use in conformance with <br />the plan approved by BLM? <br />Division's decision date. The decision date that was set upon the Division's finding that the amendment <br />application was complete was September 2, 2009. The amendment has been found complex and this office <br />has extended the decision date by 60 days, to be reset to November 2, 2009. The issues identified in this <br />adequacy review letter must be adequately addressed for this office to consider approving this application. <br />The operator is reminded that all outstanding adequacy issues must be addressed by the close of business on <br />the new decision date. <br />Please provide two copies of all your responses, by submitting them directly to me at the Division's Durango <br />field office: 691 CR 233, Room A-2, Durango, CO 81301. I look forward to receiving the response <br />materials. <br />Sincerely, <br />1?
