Fifth Adequacy Letter, Amended CN -01
May Day Idaho Mine Complex, M- 1981 -185
2. Prior to the August 9 submittal, CN -01 included 47.6 acres affected lands. In the
August submittal the Applicant removed 15.8 acres of lands not previously affected by
the mining operation. Therefore, there should. have been a corresponding reduction in
the affected land acreage, totaling 31.8 acres. However, the August submittal indicated
44.23 acres affected lands, representing a reduction of only 3.37 acres. Therefore, the
Applicant added 12.43 acres to the boundary of affected lands. As shown in Table 1, the
increase occurred primarily with an expansion of the affected land boundaries for the
New Access Road and Pre - existing Roads.
le 1: Affected Land Acrea as provided in Exhibit A of the Application
Pursuant to Rule 1.1(6), the August submittal constitutes an Amendment to CN - 01. If
the Applicant intended to expand the boundary of affected lands, please complete the
filing process as required for the previous amendment to CN -01, filed April 27, 2011.
Alternately, if the Applicant did not intend to expand the boundary of affected lands,
please correct the application to reflect no increase in affected lands.
3. The expanded boundary of affected lands must include all 9.9 acres of the existing
permit. All affected lands of the existing permit must be addressed by the reclamation
plan and financial warranty proposed under CN -01.
Figure D -1 of Attachment D -2, and Figure F -1 show portions of the existing mine bench
and highwall located outside of the new boundary of affected lands. Figure F -1, May
Day 1 Reclamation Topography, indicates the portions of affected lands, which are
located outside of the new boundary, will not be reclaimed.
