Completion of this EPP is the result of <br />HB-08-1161 defining all Colorado uranium mines as designated mining operations. Therefore, as directed by <br />DRMS in an August 6 h, 2008 directive letter, this EPP is being submitted as an amendment to the current <br />reclamation permit. <br />In response to other outstanding issues as outlined in the February 3, 2009 correspondence from DRMS, please <br />note: <br />1. The mine portal has moved 150 feet west of the original designation on Exhibit E of the approved <br />reclamation plan and is indicated in the correct location on the site map for the EPP (Figure 2). The <br />current portal can be found using NAD 83 UTM points in Zone 12, Easterly 0671941/Northerly <br />4244037. <br />2. Reconfiguration of the waste dumps with relation to the current location of the portal is discussed in <br />1.1.1 of the EPP and a diagram is included in Figure 2. <br />3. Mining activity was continued on March 10, 2009. <br />4. Increased security for the portal was implemented by the operator in March of 2009. The gate to the <br />portal was moved further into the mine and does not allow access at any point around the perimeter of <br />the gate. <br />5. The Emergency Response Plan is also included with the EPP. <br />2355 East Camelback Road, Suite 860 • Phoenix, AZ 85016 • Ph. 602.294.6652 Fx. 602.294.6659 <br />1250 24th Street North West, Suite 300 • Washington, DC 20037 • Ph. 202.467.8343 <br />36 West Main Street • Cortez, CO 81321 • Ph 970.565.1222 Fx 970.565-1226 <br />www.gaultgroup.com
