Mr. Chartier Page 12 February 16, 2012 6.3.5 Exhibit E — Maps 4. The Mining and Reclamation Plan Maps did not contain a labeled permit boundary. As required by Rule 6.3.5(2)(a), the permit boundary must be labeled. Please revise both of the maps accordingly. 5. The Mining and Reclamation Plan Maps depict a berm around the perimeter of the pit. The berm appears to be located outside of the permit boundary. The Division considers the berm to be affected area and as such it must be included within the permit boundary. The maps must be revised to show that the berm is located within the permit boundary for the amended area. 6. In the letter dated December 12, 2011, the Division asked the Applicant to show the areas of exposed groundwater on the Mining and Reclamation Plan Maps. The Applicant did not include this information in the response received on February 2, 2012. Please revise the maps to show where the 8.5 acres of exposed groundwater will occur within the 9.9 acre permit area. 7. The Mining and Reclamation Plan Maps show that the original permit area is 8.4 acres. As the Division noted in the letter dated September 20, 2011, the Chartier Pit is permitted for 8.5 acres. Therefore, the amended area may not exceed 1.4 acres. The amended area is currently depicted as 1.5 acres on the Mining and Reclamation Plan Maps. The maps must be revised to show that the amended area is 1.4 acres in size. As previously mentioned, if you are unable to provide satisfactory responses to any inadequacies prior to March 15, 2012, it will be your responsibility to request an extension of time to allow for continued review of this application. If there are still unresolved issues when the decision date arrives and no extension has been requested, the application will be denied. If you have any questions, please contact me at (303)866 -3567 x8116. Sincerely, • Michael A. Cunni :ham Environmental Protection Specialist
