Response to CN-01 Third Adequacy Issues - June 6, 2011 <br />historic May Day and Idaho mines. Such information is essential in identifying all locations <br />whereby precipitation may enter the underground locations proposed for disposal of mill tailings, <br />waste rock, and debris from the dismantled mill facility. <br />Response #12 <br />Wildcat Mining is submitting revised mans which delineate and label the glory hole, the <br />associated May Day 1 workings, and other pre-hermit mine features associated with the <br />historic Mav Dav and Idaho mines See Attachment C <br />Adequacy Issue #13 <br />The Division had previously requested maps of the underground workings, labeling all locations <br />proposed for underground disposal of waste rock and mill tailings. The Applicant's response <br />directed the Division to Figure D-la for such map. The submitted information did not include a <br />Figure D-1 a, but there was a Figure D-1 B. Figure D-113 attempts to show the underground <br />locations for tailings disposal but the map is not legible. Please submit a legible Figure D-1 B. <br />The Division has enclosed three maps of the underground workings, which might assist the <br />Applicant in identifying specific locations for disposal of mill tailings, waste rock, and debris <br />from the dismantled mill facility. Please submit underground mine maps, labeling all locations <br />proposed for underground disposal of waste rock, mill tailings, and debris from the dismantled <br />mill facility. <br />Response #13 <br />Wildcat Mining is submitting revised mans labeling all locations proposed for underground <br />disposal of waste rock, mill tailings, and debris from the dismantled mill facility. The may <br />of the underground workings showing the location of the dry stacking tailings disposal site <br />is the best map available. Wildcat Mining is providing a revised man that traces the old <br />map for clarity purposes See Attachment C Figure D--1A. <br />Adequacy Issue #14 <br />In the preliminary adequacy letter for CN-01, dated March 15, 2011, the Division referenced a <br />Joint Stipulation, which was approved and signed by the Mined Land Reclamation Board on July <br />28, 2010. Pursuant to paragraph (3)(b) of the Joint Stipulation, ground and surface water quality <br />data required under Rules 6.4.20(9) and (11) (new Rules 6.4.21(9) and 6.4.21 (11)) shall be <br />collected subsequent to permit issuance. The parties agreed that mining may not commence until <br />the Applicant submits appropriate and adequate hydrologic information to the Division and the <br />Division approves the information as a permit modification. Paragraph (3)(b) of the Joint <br />Stipulation clarifies that limited mining activities, which will not affect surface or ground water <br />quality, may occur subject to the Division's approval. <br />Revised <br />6/6/2011 <br />12
