Box 187 <br />Craig, CO 81626 <br />Re: Trapper Mining Inc., 2010 Annual Reclamation Report, TR-108, Adequacy Review <br />Dear Mr. Roberts: <br />The Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety (Division) has reviewed the 2010 Annual <br />Reclamation Report (TR-108) for Trapper Mine. Trapper Mining Inc. submitted the report in accordance with <br />Rule 2.04.13. Upon review of the report, the Division requests the following additional information. <br />Please provide a discussion of weed control measures implement during 2010. This should include a list of <br />what noxious weed species were controlled and a description of the measures employed, including what <br />chemicals were used. A sketch or description of where weed control measures were employed should also be <br />included. (Inclusion of this information in the ARR is very helpful during bond release reviews.) <br />TMI reported that 22 development drill holes were constructed in 2010. Of these, two will be mined through <br />and therefore do not require reclamation. Please provide the following information related to the remaining 20 <br />holes: <br />• Discuss if holes were sealed and if the pads were regraded and seeded. If these holes have been sealed <br />and reclaimed, provide drill hole abandonment reports. <br />• Show drill hole locations on the ARR map, including the area associated with the reclamation of these <br />holes. <br />• State which seed mix was used to reclaim the pads. <br />Please submit the requested information by the regulatory timeframe. If you have any questions feel free to <br />contact me at Rob.Zuber(a) <br />,state.co.us or (303) 866-3567, extension 8113. <br />Sincerely, x, <br />Robert Zuber, P.E. <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Office of <br />Office of <br />Mined Land Reclamation Denver • Grand Junction • Durango Active and Inactive Mines
