C- 2010 -089 PAR Part 2 5- Jan -2011 <br />New Horizon North Mine Page 6 of 13 <br />b) Please revise this map (enlarging it, if necessary) to clearly show the boundaries of each <br />fish or wildlife survey previously conducted. <br />c) Three separate lists of vegetation/land use are provided in the legend, and all appear in <br />black print. On the map, land uses are all shown in turquoise. In order to make the map <br />easier to read, please assign a different color to each list in the legend, and use the same <br />color scheme on the map. <br />2.04.13 — Annual Reclamation Report <br />The PAP does not address the requirements of 2.04.1.3. Please provide a new section <br />2.04.13 in the application which addresses the Annual Reclamation Report submittal <br />requirements for the NHN Mine. <br />2.05 — OPERATION AND RECLAMATION PLANS <br />2.05.2 — Operation Plan — Estimated Area for Life of Operation <br />1. The PAP presently contains no information (other than some map depictions) describing the <br />proposed Equipment Corridor connecting the NH North Mine with the NH 2 Mine permit <br />area. Please revise the PAP to include a general discussion and specific details regarding <br />construction of the corridor, including the proposed crossing of Tuttle Draw. Item 6 in <br />Section 2.05.3(3), below, requests a map showing the plan and profile. <br />2. The Introduction to Section 2.05.2 gives the total disturbance area as 265.1 acres, which <br />contradicts the 286 -acre figure provided by the Introduction to Section 2.05.3. Please <br />correct one (or both) of these references to be consistent and accurate. <br />3. On Map 2.05.2 -1 (and others), the permit boundary is shown using a heavy line. This serves <br />to obscure pertinent details such as the four County Roads, the right -of -way fences, and <br />other topographic details. Please revise the line weights, as appropriate, to clearly portray <br />the proposed permit boundary, disturbed area boundaries, County Road rights -of -way, and <br />other features. <br />4. Map 2.05.2 -1 shows the general areas expected to be mined in a given year. It would be <br />useful to include also a depiction of the individual cuts or pits, as currently shown on Map <br />2.05.3(6)(a) -1 (Blast Notification). Please incorporate the individual cuts or pits into Map <br />2.05.2 -1 (or another map, as appropriate). <br />5. Proposed locations for two stockpiles are shown on Map 2.05.2 -1. The western stockpile is <br />identified as `Boxcut Overburden ". This would seem to be a misnomer, as mining at the <br />NHN Mine will commence at the highwall left by NH operations. Please rename this <br />stockpile to be simply "Overburden ". <br />6. No Legend has been provided for Map 2.05.2 -1. Please incorporate a legend and ensure that <br />all features are identified by symbol. <br />2.05.3 — Operation Plan — Permit Area <br />
