Please commit to not conducting blasting operations from March 15 to May 165. <br />A: We agree not to blast between March 15 and May 15. <br />21.) Will topsoil and overburden be removed from the entire 67 acre permit area? It may <br />be necessary to remove topsoil from the "Stock Pile Area," however; will it be necessary <br />to remove overburden? If not, this may lower the cost of reclamation. <br />A: Topsoil and overburden will not be removed from the entire 67 acre permit <br />area. Topsoil will be removed in all mining and stockpile areas and any <br />overburden. Areas not mined or used for stockpiles will not be stripped. <br />22.)

Provide a notarized agreement between the applicant and the person(s) <br />having an interest in the structure, that the applicant is to provide <br />compensation for any damage to the structure; or <br />b.) Where such an agreement cannot be reached, the applicant shall <br />provide an appropriate engineering evaluation that demonstrates that such <br />structure shall not be damaged by activities occurring at the mining <br />operation. <br />A: We have attached a notarized letter between ECA and Sikes. <br />23.) Enclosed with this review is correspondence from the Colorado Division of Water <br />Resources and the Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation in regards to this <br />amendment application. Please address their concerns. <br />A: We will follow state law CRS 24-80 Part 13. <br />24.)
