Response to CN-01 Third Adequacy Issues - June 6, 2011 <br />pulling up the fill slope for replacement into the original cut, essentially restoring the <br />approximate original contour. <br />Response #24 <br />See Response to Adequacy Issue No 9 <br />Exhibit E-Reclamation Plan, Rule 6.4.5 <br />Adequacy Issue #25 <br />The proposed drill pads and associated access roads are located in steep slope areas and the <br />construction of such structures may result in significant cut and fill slopes. Please demonstrate <br />how the access roads and drill pads will be reclaimed to a stable configuration. Please provide <br />maps with the reclamation plan illustrating the final configuration of the drill pads and their <br />associated access roads. <br />Response #25 <br />See Response to Adequacy Issue No 9 Drill pads are temporary and will disturb a small <br />area within the designated 200 x 200 foot affected area Drill pads will be constructed to <br />form a small flat bench which will accommodate an access road coring rig, portable mud <br />and drill rod lay down area. Once drilling activities are completed, the drill pad will be <br />graded to conform to the existing topography, scarified, mulched and revegetated <br />Adequacy Issue #26 <br />Regarding reclamation of the illegal access road, the amended application states, "...excavated <br />excess material will be used to blend the topography to approximate original contour (Exhibit <br />65)... " Please note the Division interprets "approximate original contour" literally, which <br />would include replacement of materials previously excavated during construction of the road, <br />refilling the road cut to the approximate original contour. Please clarify what is intended. Please <br />provide a map with the reclamation plan illustrating the final configuration of the reclaimed <br />access road corridor. <br />Response #26 <br />Comment noted. Wildcat Mining is submitting a revised Reclamation Plan (Attachment Q <br />and Exhibit 6.5 (Attachment P) to clearly state Wildcat Mining's reclamation proposal <br />Comments presented by Mr. Havs and Mr. Cazier has been addressed in Exhibit 6.5 and <br />the Reclamation plan.
