After physically reviewing the file record for Site 5CC1745 and consulting with Ms. Devanaussi <br />the following was determined: <br />• The site is well outside our proposed Affected Area Boundary. <br />• It is well outside our Property Ownership Boundary. <br />• It is located on Colorado School of Mines property. <br />• The site is an open mine adit, with no structures or infrastructure remnants present. <br />• It is located approximately 1,400' distant, bearing approximately SE from the intersection of the existing <br />road and our Property Ownership Boundary line nearest the Storm Water Sedimentation Pond and Down- <br />gradient Monitoring Well shown on maps in Exhibit A & E. <br />• The elevation of the site is at approximately 8,350', which is +/- 30' above the benchmark elevation of our <br />Tailings Impoundment Concrete Leachate Collection Barger. <br />• The site is not currently eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. <br />I am bound by the CHS' Dissemination oflnformation Access to Site Files: Policy/Procedures and cannot divulge <br />the exact location of this site or any other specifics. <br />This should be sufficient information to determine that our proposed operation poses no threat to this site. Venture <br />Resources will remain cognizant of this site as we move forward inorder to avoid adversely effecting it; however the <br />chance of that is very minimal. <br />Page 1 of 2
