On 26 September 2011, the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, & Safety (Division or
Office) received your Notice of Intent (NOI) to Conduct Prospecting Operations P- 2011 -029. Our
review indicates that the NOI application contains deficiencies as defined by Rule 5.1.3 of the
Mineral Rules and Regulations of the Mined Land Reclamation Board. The Division requires the
information described below before authorization to commence prospecting can be granted.
1) PROJECT DESCRIPTION, Item III.2. Under "Amount of material to be extracted, moved, or
proposed to be moved" the applicant states "2,000.00." Please indicate the units (pounds, tons,
etc.) and where it will be disposed after extraction.
2) PROJECT DESCRIPTION, Item IIL5. The applicant states that an existing shaft will be
rehabilitated to provide a secondary escapeway and ventilation circuit. Is this the shaft that is
labeled as "London Butte Shaft" on Figures 2 and 3?
3) PROJECT DESCRIPTION, Item III.6.B. The depth of drill holes is indicated as 600 feet. Is this
a cumulative depth for all holes or the anticipated depth for each hole?
4) PROJECT DESCRIPTION, Item III.6.C. Please provide an estimate of how deep into the adit
and at what levels the rehabilitation activities will occur. Please indicate if any new underground
excavation will occur.
5) PROJECT DESCRIPTION, Item III.6.J. The information provided here is inadequate. The
applicant must:
a. provide the distance to the nearest stream.
b. provide any available information pertaining to depth of ground water and expected
dewatering requirements for the proposed work on the lower levels. If ground water
level information is not available, then the applicant must commit to logging the depth of
ground water interception in all drillholes approved and drilled under this NOI.
c. provide information pertaining to the discharge permit, including permit number, effluent
limitations, and discharge rates and how the existing permit will apply to the newly
proposed dewatering wells, and whether the dewatering well effluent will be treated
before discharge. 7 k
