Preliminary Adequacy Issues for CN-01 8 <br />May Day Idaho Mine Complex <br />demonstrate such plan will be compliant with the ground water quality regulations. The <br />Division cannot approve the proposed reclamation plan until the Applicant <br />demonstrates such plan will be compliant with the ground water regulations and <br />protective of existing and reasonably potential future uses of ground water, per Rule <br />3.1.7. <br />As contemplated by the Joint Stipulation, such evaluations and demonstrations may be <br />fully executed through a permit modification subsequent to the issuance of CN-01. <br />However, CN-01 must include a detailed plan whereby such evaluations and <br />demonstrations may occur. The plan may not be implemented until after hydrologic <br />baseline conditions have been determined, but should be reviewed now as part of CN- <br />01. Such plan is further discussed below, under adequacy items 36 through 42. <br />Exhibit H - Wildlife, Rule 6.4.8 <br />29. Please ensure the application for CN-01 includes copy of the recommendations from the <br />Colorado Division of Wildlife, as required under Rules 6.4.8(2) and 6.4.21(1). <br />Exhibit M - Other Permits and Licenses, Rule 6.4.13 <br />30.
