Name and location of all creeks, roads, buildings, oil and gas wells and lines, and power and communication lines on the affected land and within 200 feet of all boundaries, Missing or incomplete - Please address Response: See response to Exhibit C (g) Comment below. Exhibit C (q) Comment: Show the owner's name, type of structures, and location of all permanent and man-made structures contained on the area of affected land and within 200 feet of boundary; Missing - Please address Response: The information requested in these two comments has been included in a revised Figure AM-06-C-01. Figure AM-06-C-01 was modified to include the additional structures requested and to indicate the ownership of all land within 200 feet of the affected area. The 1980 and 1997 Affected Areas boundaries were removed to simplify the figure, and have been placed on a revised Figure AM-06-B-01. Primary, CMC owned structures are numbered and identified in the legend on the figure. Several other minor structures, not owned by CMC, are also identified on this figure, including a Qwest Utility Building along the west side of Highway 91 near the mine site entrance, Xcel Substations, • and a University of New Hampshire Observatory Quonset building near the Chalk Mountain Reservoir. Substations owned by Climax are differentiated from those owned by Xcel and are identified on the revised Figure AM-06-C-01 as well. Utilities shown on the figure include the Climax, privately owned, electrical transmission lines, Xcel Gas Line, Qwest Communication Line and Xcel electrical transmission lines. Other permanent and man-made structures not owned by CMC including the Clinton Reservoir, the Eagle Park Reservoir, the Columbine Ditch (owned by Fremont Pass Ditch Company), and Colorado Highway 91 are also identified by owner in the legend and identified on the revised Figure AM-06-C-01. Note that no oil and gas wells are present on the property. Pump Stations are identified in the figures included in Exhibit G and several figures included in Exhibit C present additional detail of CMC structures at the site. Exhibit D - Mining Plan Exhibit D (i) Comment: Missing - Please address by submitting the blasting and blast/vibration monitoring program to be utilized during operations for Division review. The blasting program shall, at a minimum, comply with the US DOI Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement Blasting Guidance Manual protocols. Of special interest will be how blasting activity during operations may impact stability of on-site features such as waste-rock piles, tailings facilities, run on capture ditches, and other key environmental protection features.
