Although the revised DRMS application of October 2012 shows that the low lying wetlands around <br />the old mine buildings will not be disturbed, Star Mine Operations will submit a Nationwide permit <br />to the US Army Corps of Engineers to disturb 0.49 acres of this area in case a mine pond needs to <br />be constructed there. This is not part of the current plan, as shown on the maps in this revised <br />application to the DRMS. The Pre - Construction Notice for this application is also included in <br />Appendix 9. Mitigation to disturb this small area may come from creating new wetlands <br />downstream of Ouray on the Uncompaghre River or may come from the purchase of wetlands from <br />a bank on the upper Gunnison River to offset disturbance as part of mining. This or any other <br />USACOE permits that are necessary for the disturbance of jurisdictional wetlands will be added to <br />Appendix 9 when acquired. The results of the Delineation Report will not have any effect on the <br />mine operation or the reclamation plan since there is no room to construct any new wetlands on the <br />site. <br />Revenue Mine August 2012 J -6 <br />
