TR -109 Response Cont. <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />the parcel was already released at 50.7 in SL -5 and 40.5 in SL -6, it is not desired that we <br />change these values in the bond releases. During SL -10, the parcel was initially <br />submitted for release at 45.9 acres. However, during the bond release inspection of SL- <br />10 on October 13, 2008, a disturbance of the parcel was noted due to a dozer blading a <br />path for a dragline power cable. The parcel was reduced by 0.2 acres and the new <br />acreage that was released for Phase III was 45.7 acres. Correspondence dated November <br />12, 2008 addresses the reduction in the parcel due to this disturbance, (please also note <br />that this correspondence is also wrong in that it refers to the parcel acreage changing <br />from 49.9 to 49.7 acres. These values should have been 45.9 and 45.7 acres.) <br />In my first response I accounted for the initial acreage discrepancy of 50.8 versus 50.7 <br />by reducing the initial deduction from 10.3 to 10.2 acres. It is unknown why there is a <br />discrepancy of 0.1 acres. However, my tallies are correct when using 5.0 acres as a re- <br />disturbance amount for this parcel. This accounts for 4.8 acres being re- disturbed south <br />of LOM road for mining operations in F pit, which was part of the anticipated 10.3 acres <br />of re- disturbance, and the re- disturbance of 0.2 acres for the power cable. <br />Trapper still requests a change in Phase II bond release of only 5.2 acres. The divisions' <br />reassessment of this value is in error due to the 0.1 acre discrepancy from SL -5, and the <br />additional unaccounted for 0.2 acres of re- disturbance. <br />A summary of current bond release acres is as follows including the newly revised Phase <br />II total with an additional 5.2 acres added, (current for 2011, does not include recent <br />releases of SL -12 and SL -13): <br />A revised ARR form is attached and shall be the new basis for all values into the future. <br />Trapper Mine <br />Adjusted Totals <br />Total <br />Re- disturbance <br />acres <br />New Total <br />Bond Release <br />Acres <br />Phase I <br />3870.0 <br />24.8 <br />3845.2 <br />Phase II <br />3579.6 <br />17.5 <br />3562.1 <br />Phase III <br />2925.5 <br />5.9 <br />2919.6 <br />A revised ARR form is attached and shall be the new basis for all values into the future. <br />
