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 had 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.
Table 1: Additions of Affected Lands from April 27 to August 9, 2011
In the fifth adequacy letter the Division informed the Applicant, pursuant to Rule 1.1(6),
the submittal constituted an amendment to CN -01. The Division requested the
Applicant complete the filing process for this second amendment to CN -01, as
previously required for the first amendment to CN -01, filed April 27, 2011. Alternately,
if the Applicant did not intend to expand the boundary of affected lands, the Division
requested the application be revised to reflect no increase in affected lands.
The Applicant's response, received on September 9, 2011, provided contradictory
information regarding affected land acreages. The contradictions were substantial and
sufficient to confuse what is intended.
According to the new Figure C -4, Total Operational Area, and Attachment 2, Response to
Fifth Adequacy, affected lands now included 33.08 acres. According to the new Exhibit
A, Legal Description, and Exhibit E, Reclamation Plan, affected lands now included 44.23
acres. Exhibit A was accompanied by three survey maps, which provided different
acreage values from those declared in the text of Exhibit A and Figure C -4. The affected
land acreages of the September 9 submittal are illustrated on the following table,
Table 2.
