Response - Map 2.04.3-1 has been corrected to agree with the text. <br />9. The permit boundary shown on Map 2.04.3-1 incorporates portions of the surrounding <br />county roads. Please refer to Section 2.03, above, for the Division's comments regarding <br />the permit boundary for the NHN Mine. <br />Response - This issue has been resolved with DRMS. Please see the response to DRMS <br />comment no. 1(b) under Section 2.03.6 above. <br />10. The NH1 Mine boundary, as depicted on Map 2.04.3-1, does not correlate with the boundary <br />described in the New Horizon Mine permit. The acreage shown here is 103.42 acres, while <br />the true acreage is 98.6 acres. Please review this discrepancy, and ensure that the limits of <br />the NH1 Mine as depicted in the NHN application reflect the true boundary described in <br />permit C-1981-008. <br />Response - This issue has been resolved with DRMS. The correct acreage is 103.42 acres <br />which is based upon a recent survey. <br />11. On Map 2.04.3-1, an extraneous, orange "Existing Property Line" runs E-W through the <br />Garvey property. Please delete this line. <br />Response - Map 2.04.3-1 has been revised by deleting this line. <br />12. At the end of Section 2.04.3, WFC has provided several paragraphs describing Previously <br />Mined Lands. Please provide a graphical presentation of this information on the map <br />required by Rule 2.10.2 and reference this map in the narrative. (It may make sense to move <br />this discussion to the introductory section of 2.04.3.) <br />Response -A new Map 2.04.3-2 has been prepared to address this comment. The <br />discussion about previously mined lands has been revised. <br />2.04.4 - Cultural and Historic Resource Information <br />1. The Colorado Historical Society has reviewed the information provided with New Horizon <br />North application. In a letter received by the Division on November 19, 2010 (attached), the <br />State Historic Preservation Officer concludes that a finding of no historic properties <br />affected is appropriate for the proposed activities. However, the letter also states, "Should <br />unidentified archaeological resources be discovered in the course of the project, work must <br />be interrupted until the resources have been evaluated in terms of the National Register of <br />Historic Places eligibility criteria (36 CFR 60.4) in consultation with our office." Please <br />include this commitment in the narrative of this section. <br />Response - The requested commitment has been added at the end of the Section 2.04.4. <br />2. In the Introduction to 2.04.4, the date of PCC's Nucla Mine application is given as April, <br />1980 and date of issuance is listed as May, 1993. Division records show that the application <br />was received in January, 1981. The permit was issued in May, 1983. Please revise the text <br />Response to First Adequacy Review Page 11
