Please find attached two original <br />Exhibit E1, Revision 1 maps. <br />Item #2: Also included within the Exhibit E1, Revision 1 map is a clarification of the location of the overhead <br />telecom utility and the underground gas line utility (buried beneath the centerline of Virginia Canyon Rd.). These <br />have also been included in revised Exhibit E2 and E3 maps. With those clarifications, all permanent man-made <br />structures within 200' of the affected area are illustrated. <br />Item 43A: Exhibit D, Section 6.3.4(1)(c)(ii) has been revised to include this statement regarding fertilizer: Because <br />of the sort project time duration and relatively small surface area to be reclaimed, there will be an opportunity to <br />measure the success of this re-vegetation plan and provide for a chance to modem the method with soil amendments <br />and/or fertilizers on a as needed basis. A technical revision will be sought if this is necessary. Please find attached <br />two original Exhibit D, Revision 1 submittals. <br />Item #3B: Exhibit D, Section 6.3.4(1)(c)(i) has been revised to include this statement regarding importing topsol: It <br />will be very likely that topsoil will need to be imported and Venture Resources commits to do this, as required. <br />Please find attached two original Exhibit D, Revision I submittals. <br />Item #4: The SPLP testing that was done for this project is consistent with the method previously approved by Allen <br />Sorensen during my permit work for the Hukill Gulch Millsite (#M-2009-076, see Exhibit C, appendix Waste Stream <br />Characterization). Evidence of this is that permit's approval on November 24, 2010. These parameters were <br />reached during a meeting with Sorensen and Waldron at your offices the week of August 17, 2009. There is no <br />written correspondence from that meeting. <br />That being said, during our last visit it was understood that this specific application is a "first pass", if you will, for <br />handling removing these waste rock piles. So to avoid confusion in future permitting applications, please provide me <br />with a very specific waste stream characterization procedure, in a separate and unique letter, that I can reference for <br />future projects. I have no trouble modifying the future permit applications, but want to know clearly what to <br />prescribe. <br />Page 1 of 2
