( "Cotter ") submitted Permit Amendment AM -04. On <br />May 2, 2012, the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety ( "DRMS ") found the submittal of <br />Permit Amendment AM -04 complete. On August 29, 2012, DRMS issued a preliminary adequacy <br />review ( "PAR "). <br />Cotter has been diligently working to provide the details of pumping the mine pool to 150 feet <br />below the Steve Adit, and has responded to questions in the PAR relating to this pumping and to <br />other questions. Cotter is hopeful that the portion of AM -04 relating to this pumping can be <br />approved soon. With respect to the remainder of the PAR, Cotter needs additional time to develop <br />the technical details to complete the answers. Accordingly, Cotter respectfully requests an <br />extension of the due date for a decision on AM -04 until 365 days from May 1, 2012, or until May 1, <br />2013. <br />If you have any questions, please contact me at 719- 275 -7413 (ext. 202). <br />Sincerely, <br />2 <br />John S.
