RE: S & H Mine; DRMS File No. M-2000-158; Amendment 02, Adequacy Review #1
Dear Mr. Ebert,
Following is our response to your adequacy review letter dated April 20, 2010.
6.4 SPECIFIC EXHIBIT REQUIREMENTS - REGULAR 112 OPERATIONS
6.4.1 EXHIBIT A - Legal Description
1) The legal description must identify the affected land and be wholly adequate for field location of the property. It can
be in the form of metes and bounds survey or a description by reference to township, range and section to at least
the nearest quarter quarter section. Where applicable, the street address or lot numbers may be used.
The legal description was included in the amendment application. However, we have amended the legal
description based on comment #2 below. Please refer to Exhibit A for the revised legal description.
2) The last sentence on Exhibit A indicates a 10 acre lot in the southeast comer of the property will no longer be
included in the permit boundary. Based on the Exhibit C map, the permit boundary excludes this portion of the
permit area. This portion of land is currently included in the permit boundary and has not been release by the
Division thus must be included in the total permit acreage. This may change your intended total permit acreage by
10 acres, however this is not clear. Please revise all of the maps and text to include this portion of the permit area.
We will request a release for this ten-acre parcel from the Division. In the meantime, we have revised the map
and the legal description to keep the parcel within the permit boundary.
6.4.3 EXHIBIT C - Pre-mining and Mining Plan Map(s) of Affected Lands
3) These maps must be signed by the registered land surveyor, professional engineer or the qualified person who
prepared them.
Please refer to attached Exhibits C (Mining Plan Map) and F (Reclamation Plan Map).
4) The Exhibit C map is missing the following information:
a) All adjoining surface owners of record.
b) Please display and label the Western Mutual Ditch.
c) Please clearly display the permit boundary. It is unclear where the permit boundary will be located
especially in the north and northwest portion of the permit area.
d) Based on the Division's records for this site, there are numerous fences, buildings, houses, barns, water
wells, power lines, oil tanks, gas wells, other gas facilities and several protected monuments located on and
or within 200 feet of the affected land. All of these structures will need to be portrayed clearly on the new
Exhibit C map. For each significant, valuable and permanent man-made structure contained in the affected
land and within two hundred (200) feet of the affected land please indicate the owner's name of the
structure.
Please refer to Exhibit C Mining Plan Map for all of the revisions noted above.
