prepared and signed by a registered land surveyor, professional engineer, or other qualified person; give date
<br />prepared; identify and outline the boundary of affected lands; and, with the exception of the map of the
<br />affected lands required in §34- 32- 112(3)(e) C.R.S., shall be prepared at a scale that is appropriate to clearly show
<br />all elements that are required to be delineated by the Act and Rules. The acceptable range of map scales shall
<br />not be larger than 1 inch = 50 feet nor smaller than 1 inch = 660 feet. Also, that a map scale, appropriate legend,
<br />map title, date and a north arrow shall be included. See DRMS adequacy issue 32 of the Preliminary Adequacy
<br />Issues, dated March 15, 2011, and the Third Adequacy Letter, dated May 3, 2011.
<br />14. The statement, "Secondary containment sizes for all stored DMO chemical must be shown on the base maps ",
<br />needs clarification. The capacity of the Environmental Protection Facilities (EPF) containment structures must
<br />be demonstrated in the design specifications, which must be certified by a licensed professional engineer, per
<br />Rules 6.4.21(7)(e) and (10)(a). However, the base maps of the application are not necessarily required to display
<br />the capacity of the EPFs. See DRMS adequacy issues 33, 34, and 39 of the Preliminary Adequacy Issues, dated
<br />March 15, 2011, and the Third Adequacy Letter, dated May 3, 2011.
<br />15. The statement, "Secondary containment within buildings must be illustrated within each building including the
<br />zircon containers, the mill, pipe, tank ", needs clarification. See DRMS adequacy issues 33, 34, 39, and 40 of the
<br />Preliminary Adequacy Issues, dated March 15, 2011, and Third Adequacy Letter, dated May 3, 2011.
<br />16. Nothing in the Act or Rules provides an exemption from the requirements of Rule 6.4.21(7)(e) and (10)(a) for
<br />quantities of designated chemicals, or processing fluids containing designated chemicals, or tailings containing
<br />designated chemicals, less than 55 gallons. There appears no exemption for small quantities.
<br />Response to issues raised by R Squared in the email sent July 6, 2011 at 8:12 a.m., "Subject: Wildcat Mining Corporation -
<br />Point of Clarification"
<br />17. Wildcat has indicated "no intentions" of pursuing a permanent access permit through the USFS.
<br />Response to issues raised by R Squared in the email sent July 6, 2011 at 9:37 a.m., "Subject: Chief Portal - Little Deadwood
<br />Gulch Drainage -Need clarification"
<br />18. Regarding the status of the "corrective action plan for the drainage channel ", please address DRMS adequacy
<br />issues 22 and 23 of the Third Adequacy Letter, dated May 3, 2011; and DRMS adequacy issues 3 and 4 of the
<br />Fourth Adequacy Letter, dated May 27, 2011. The plan is currently not adequate for approval. Field and office
<br />discussions regarding the installation of a culvert do not constitute an official revision to the submitted plan.
<br />Wildcat must revise the application to reflect the issues discussed and address the adequacy issues raised by
<br />DRMS.
<br />19. As previously noted by DRMS, in adequacy issue 14 of the Preliminary Adequacy Issues, dated March 15, 2011,
<br />and the Third Adequacy Letter, dated May 3, 2011, the plans approved through CN -01 may not be implemented
<br />until after CN -01 is approved and issued. The portions of Little Deadwood Gulch adversely impacted by the
<br />illegal construction of the Chief Portal are located outside of the DRMS permit boundary and will remain so until
<br />CN -01 is approved and issued. Subsequent to CN -01 being approved and issued, Wildcat may commence mining
<br />and reclamation activities in accordance with the approved permit conditions and in accordance with the Act
<br />and Rules.

<br />Thank you for taking a day out of your schedule to address what is needed to obtain a permit. After a couple of
<br />days of downloading our notes a few outstanding questions remain.
