62. According to subsection 2.05.6(6)(c)(i) on page 2.05-144, the subsidence monitoring program for the Bruce Park dam and Bruce Park landslide will be suspended. Text regarding the monitoring program has also been struck through on page 2.05-149. However, page 2.05-158 appears to retain language regarding monitoring of the Bruce Park landslide. Please review the various monitoring plans for the Bruce Park Dam and Landslide and verify that the permit text is internally consistent regarding the monitoring efforts proposed. 63. Because BRL is no longer proposing to mine within one mile of the Bruce Park Dam and Terror Creek Reservoir, no material damage due to the Bruce Park landslide is anticipated. Therefore, the Division requests that Section 2.05.6(6)(b)(iii) on revised page 2.05-143 be revised to reflect this change. The Division also requests that a statement be made in this same section that, should mining be proposed within one mile of the Bruce Park Dam and Terror Creek Reservoir, the subsidence control plan will be reactivated. The same reference should also be added to the appropriate sections of 2.05.6(6) which now discuss the subsidence control plan, rather than deleting such text. If BRL wants to continue monitoring of the Bruce Park Dam and the Terror Creek Reservoir on a voluntary basis, an appropriate explanation should be placed into the text as well, such as on revised page 2.05-158. Section 2.10 Maps and Plans 64. Please revise the currently approved Maps 11, 14 and 27-B to show that the new permit boundary extends to the west. Section 3.02.2 Determination of Bond Amount 65. Attached is the Division's reclamation cost estimate for PR-12. The estimate is comprised of eight tasks (a summary sheet and tasks 251-257) and represents an increase in liability of $45,039.00. This estimate included the transfer of three exploration holes (BRL-1-03-01, BRL-1-08-01 and BRL-1-08- 04), drill pads, light use roads, topsoil replacement and reseeding from the Bowie No. 1 Mine permit into the Bowie No. 2 Mine permit. The original Bowie No. 1 Mine revisions were TR-41 and TR-49. The Division's estimate is more than the one submitted by BRL because the Division updated the costs for the tasks from TR-41 and TR-49 in the PR-12 estimate. Please inform the Division in writing whether or not this estimate is acceptable to BRL. Section 4.20 Subsidence Control 66. Under Rule 4.20.2, please provide documentation that owners of property, including structures, and residents within the area above the underground workings and adjacent areas have received the mining schedule as described in Rules 4.20.2(1), (2) and (3).
