The <br />application was received on October 18, 2011 and was called complete for review on October <br />28, 2011. The decision date for this application is November 28, 2011. Please be advised that if <br />you are unable to satisfactorily address any concerns identified in this review before the <br />decision date, it will be your responsibility to request an extension of the review period. If <br />there are outstanding issues that have not been adequately addressed prior to the end of <br />the review period, and no extension has been requested, the Division will deny this <br />application. <br />The review consisted of comparing the application content with specific requirements of Rule <br />6.1, 6.2, 6.3, and 6.5 of the Minerals Rules and Regulations of the Colorado Mined Land <br />Reclamation Board for Hard Rock, Metal, and Designated Mining Operations. In general the <br />application was substantially adequate, however, as with most applications there are a few items <br />that will require the submittal of additional information or clarification of the existing <br />information. Inadequacies are identified under the respective exhibit heading along with <br />suggested corrective actions to correct them. <br />6.3.1 Exhibit A — Legal Description and Location Map <br />No comment. <br />6.3.2 Exhibit B — Site Description <br />1. The US Army Corps of Engineers (COE) has determined the areas around the Pond No. 1 are <br />jurisdictional wetlands. Please clarify what implications this has on reclaiming the pond <br />areas. Will approval from the COE be required? Will additional mitigation measures be <br />required? <br />Office of <br />Denver • Grand Junction • Durango Active and Inactive Mines <br />
