The Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (Division) has completed its review of CC &V's
responses to the Division's preliminary adequacy review for your 112d -3 Reclamation Permit
Amendment Application (AM10) /Mine Life Extension 2 (MLE2) for the Cresson Project. This includes
the hand - delivered submittal dated August 21, 2012. The following comments retain the number system
used in your response.
Response No. 3 – The Division believes ALL of Section 19 should be included in the permit boundary.
The response indicates portions of the NW '/a & NE 1/4 of the SW '/a are not in the permit boundary.
Please confirm all of Section 19 is included in the permit boundary.
Response No. 22 – The Division understands CC &V has an unofficial weed control plan in place. Please
commit to submitting a written version of this plan as an interim weed control plan, which can be updated
through a TR when the ISO weed control plan is finalized. The Division requests this interim plan be
submitted prior to the next growing season (by June 1, 2013).
Response No. 30 – The Division received 98 mail receipts, there are 101 Owners listed in Exhibit O. It
appears we are missing 1) Brown, B D Kimberly; 2) Colorado Casino Resorts; and 3) Shiloh Plain Inc.
Please provide these missing receipts.
Response No. 36 – The Division's original comment referenced Page 4 -8, 2nd and 3rd bullets – The
statement that "All precipitation water infiltrating to ground water through MLE2 mine facilities ... will
pass by subsurface flow paths through the diatreme ... ". The last line of your response suggests not all,
but only "some infiltrating water migrates towards the regional ground water system." Please provide
clarification as to whether it is some or all with respect to the MLE2 facilities.
Response Nos. 41c, 47c & d – The Division reserves the right to comment on these responses when the
final responses from AMEC are submitted.
Attachment 10, Mill Site Earthworks Drawings, dated August 16, 2012:
A170 – Please confirm the 48 -inch diameter HDPE SDR11 riser pipe is adequate to support itself given
the number of perforations at the bottom.
