Response - The insurance certificate is included in Appendix 2.03.9-1. <br />2.03.10 - Identification of Other Licenses and Permits <br />1. The formatting of the information provided in this section is confusing. It appears that the <br />applicant may have intended to break out the permits into Federal, State and Local agencies. <br />a) Please review the format of the information provided, and revise as appropriate to bring <br />clarity. <br />b) WFC must have all necessary permits in place before disturbance can be initiated. <br />Response - The permit list has been clarified Permits not yet issued by other agencies <br />will be submitted to DRMS before initiating mine disturbance. <br />2. Federal Licenses and Permits <br />a) The E.P.A. and NPDES permit are both listed on page 11, under Federal permits. This <br />would seem to be incorrect, as discharge permits for Colorado are issued by the Water <br />Quality Control Division (WQCD) of the Colorado Department of Public Health and <br />Environment (CDPHE). Please review the list of Federal permits, and delete the EPA <br />and NPDES items from this list, as appropriate. <br />Response - The information has been clarified in the text. <br />b) The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE) is not included in the list. The Division <br />believes that permits from the USACOE may be required for the haul road crossings of <br />the wetlands within the area to be mined and for the crossing of Tuttle Draw necessary <br />for the Equipment Corridor. Please incorporate any USACOE permits into the list <br />provided in section 2.03.10. <br />Response - This requirement has been added in the text. <br />3. State Licenses and Permits <br />a) For the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (DRMS) permit, the NHN Mine <br />permit application number has been assigned. Please incorporate permit application <br />number C-2010-089 into the text. <br />Response - The permit number has been added. <br />b) The text lists a permit to store, transport and use explosives. In accordance with the <br />requirements of 2.03.10(2), please provide the name and address of the issuing authority <br />for permit number 65. <br />Response - New Horizon North Mine will not itself store, transport and use <br />explosives. Any blasting at the mine will be conducted by a licensed contractor. The <br />sentence referring to a permit to store, transport and use explosives has been <br />removed. <br />c) Although not required by Rule 2.03.10, please include a copy of the discharge permit <br />application that has been submitted to CDPHE WQCD for the NHN Mine. <br />Response to First Adequacy Review Page 7
